Among numerous instances, of patriotic
zeal displayed by the Militia of Virginia in
the promptitude with which they have tur

cold ceremony of draft, we take plea

that county was for $50, more than which
number reported themselves volunteers

General auN.-This officer has arrived
IN TINS city few days since on his way to
Philadelphia to attend his trial. Since his
arrival here, it is learnt that the trial is
postponed until further orders, and the Of
hcers who were to have Composed the court
are ordered TO their respective stations -
U General Hull intends, however, TO proceed
70 Washington, as We are Informed. We
nave not been able to learn the reasons for
postpohlnS the trial, but as it is measure
OF the government, and as the general has
svinced his desire for an investigation ne
