The MILITIA SYsTEM.--The ludicrous
militia scenes OF yesterday. are Ie cnaciiDg
in the upper part Of the city to-day. We
understand that svme Of the commissioned d
officers took high offence at the attempts o;
their troops To bring contempt upon the sys
TEN. The course adopted was TO order all
those men who were grotesquely attired, To
be detached in squads and severely drilled
until sun down. In some instances the Off
GERS gave tyrancal orders, for which they
should be ashamed of themselves, as they
well know that The ridicne was not directed

inlssioned drlli Officers were in the worst pre-
dicament, as their squads were continually
pressed on oil sides by the admirlng rabble-
ment from the sentimental chimney sweep Ia
the lack daIsical dandy; and their orders
were often drowned in the general haw haw.
Sometimes these poor officers tried to look
dignfed; sometimes severe and offended
and sometimes they bit their lips TO prevent
joining in the general laugh. The dresses
were truly The most ludlcrous and fantastic
ever devised by the WI, Of man. Indeed we
suspect that the wit of woman had been called
in for the occasion: mischief ln her proper

On Sunday morning last, as the steam
boat Richmond, Captain Chapman, was
preparing to leave the wharf, a sooty la
dy of rather, bulky appearance, rotundi-
ty of form, and in delicate situation,
applied for her passage to Norfolk.
She was decorated in the usual manner,
with her hair plated, ornamented with
combs &c. &c. The Capt. although eel
ebrated for his politeness to the ladies',
respectfully asked this fair damsel for
her free papers; they were immediately
produced. 1t fortunately happened that
one of our police was present, who, up
on examination, discovered ,lat the
Clerks signature was a forgery. The
Captain then willingly relinquished his
amiable charge-she was conducted to
the Cage, anL there submitted to the
gaze of the Argus eyed guardians of the
night. They very soon discovered that
the lady was not exactly what she should
be. A further examination then took
place, and after disrobing her ladyshiT
of a shirt,pantaloons, waistcoat, &c. &c.
all neatly folded around the body, to the
utter astonishment of all present, she
stood before them strong able bodied
proper man!!! This ingenious disguise
was used to facilitate his escape from
his masters, who are residents Of this
city--and this one circumstance, among
n thousand others, should induce the
captains of steamboats, and other vessels,
to be extremely cautious in accepting
the applications of negro passengers,
whether they appear in male attire, or
in the more captivating garb Of female
visitors.
