anything but mischief, or strengthen any Union
feeling in the Cotton States, or the Border

MASTERING OF THE DISTRICT MLITIA.-A des-
patch from Washington on the 18th says:-The
general excitement occasioned here yesterday by
the calling out of the Volunteer Militia of the
District, to be mustered into the Federal service,
has abated, and to-day four or five more compa-
MES marched to the War Department and took
the Army oath, namely-ssTo bear true allegi-
ance to the United States, and serve them hon.
estly and faithfully against all their enemies and
oppOsers whomsoever, and observe and obey the
orders Of the President Of the United States, and
the officers appointed over them, according to
the rules and articles for the Government of the
Armies of the United States.''
Previous to taking this oath the volunteers
were informed that the obligation was for three
months, unless they were sooner discharged, and
an opportunity was given to such as might wish
to retire. But as the men came there purposely
to be mustered in, they assumed the obligation
accordingly. They now understand that they
cannot be ordered beyond the limits of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and will not be continuously
on duty as guards to the armories and public
buildings, etc. Not quite two hundred were &C
cepted yesterday, but five hundred altogether
will doubtless be mustered in during the day.
Army overcoats have been plentifully distribu-
ted among them.
