The FIRST REGIMENT, LOUISIANA MILrTIA.-The
Crescent was complimented yesterday afternoon
by this regiment halting before our door and Civ
Ing us three cheers; after which the different
companies composing it were dismissed and
marched off the ground. Previous to parade being
dismissed Col. Magee put his regiment through
several difficult maneuvers, and we were astonished
at the highly creditable manner with which they
were executed. Everything showed that the officers
nave not wasted much time since the organization
OF the regiment and the we'll l-pleased and willing
countenances of the men showed that considerable
esprH dH co'2s had been awakened among them.
In numbers this regiment is very strong, number
ing upwards Of eight hundred, and, so well does
everything please the men. that we have heard of
several OF them who attached themselves to it in
preference to volunteer organization. Other
militia regiments would do well to follow the
example of the First, and prepare for service by
jealous application to duty.
ACCIDENT on TILE JACKSON RAILaoAD.-Yester-
day morning, about o'clock, the up and down
passenger trains of the Jackson Railroad came in
collision at Kenner station, which resulted in a
general smashing up of locomotives and baggage
cars, grand fright among the passengers, but, by
miracle, nothing more. We have not been able
to learn the cause Of this accident and cannot un-
deratand how it should have been allowed to occur.
ANOTHER COMPANY OF CADETS FOR ACTIVE SER
vIcE.-lt really seems that the organization of
Orleans Cadets for active service would never stop.
1t was the first to send company to the war, and
three companies Of them are now in active SER
vice, yet another still is organizing and win soon
be ready to pitch in. This is Company T. The
officers elected are as follows: Rufus L. Dolbear,
late captain of Company D, Captain ; E. B. Adams,
First Lieutenant; John Black, Second Lieutenant;
John Wieman, Jr., Second Lieutenant. They are
all well drilled men and active soldiers, and we
are sure will take good care of the honor of the
glorious name.
A NEW MILITARY EvoLCTloN.--Y Yesterday morn
ing early, while the young man who opens one Of
the stores on Camp street, where guns are sold,
was in the back part of the store sweeping out he
heard parcel OF boys in the street giving com
mands as if drilling a company; but as such
things are common now days he paid no atten-
ton to it, and went on with bis work. He heard
the commands, " take arms, shoulder arms, right
shoulder shift arms, forward, double quick,
march,, all given in a clear and distinct voice,
and heard the rattle of arms ; but he soon forgot
all about it in attending to his business. When he
got as far as the door, however, he saw that some
body had took arms which did not exactly be-
long to them, for his show muskets were among
the missing. He rushed into the street. and in the
dim distance saw quite fine company of news
boys making off with his new muskets at double
quick, sure enough. He Immediately put out in
pursuit, and as his legs were longer than the mill
tary boys, he succeeded in overbaulng them, and
making tremendous charge, put the thieves to
flight, who, like the Yankees at Bull Run, dropped
their arms and scattered. He took back his guns,
perfegtly satisfied, with his exploits, and we will
bet high that he will have little more curiosity
the next time military company passes before
his door, even if he is engaged in the important
duty Of sweeping out.
HOUSE ENTERED IN THE DAY nE.-Yesterday
during the day, the residence of Mr.. D. ". Eames
corner of Melpomene and Magazine streets, was

was left upon which to hang suspicion.
