THE DISTRICT MILIr1A.-Tac Order for Mus
ttrine Them in the Service Counterm anded,-This
morning, asreeably to the orders of Gen. G.
G. Thomas, issued last week, the various regi-
ments composing the District militia assem- bled
their usual parade grounds, as follows:

maryland avenue, near Seventh street; 5th
Square; 9th Regiment, Col Middleton, south
OF the Presidents; 9TH Regiment, Col. Easily,
in the First Ward; Sth Regiment, Col. Smith,
Georgetown.
The pouring rain was rather a damDar to
military enthusiasm, but, nevertheless the
s'fiat-foots" came out in very respect BILE num-
beTs. The men soon ascertained, however that
their immediate prospect of achieving CORY
glory was small. The commanding officers at
various points OF meeting announced that this
morning they had waited on the Secretary of
War for orders, and he stated that the ener-
gency fer which they had been called had
passed away, and for the present the operation
OF the order was suspended. The Department,
he SAID, was highly gratified at the promptness
of the officers and men in responding to the
order, and he personally thanked the colonies
present for their promptness. He was happy
to say that he believed the regular organiza-
tons in the held were quite sufficient for the
present emergency. He stated that the powers
of the Government in calling out the militia
and competing their attendance had been fully
considered, and 1t had been decided last fall
that the Government possessed the same power
here in the States, in some of whom the
militia had been called out. The colonies were
requested to convey the thanks of the Govern
ment to the men and dismiss them until fur
Their orders, when they took their leave.
IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-In the District Court
this morning Judge Wylie made an important
decision in a case arising under the laws in
relation to intercourse between the Ioyal and

for by the said laws. The steamer Union was
seized and Hbelled by the b. S. District At.or-
, new for having departed from the port of A lex
andria for Belle PLAINS, within the limits of the
disloyal counties OF the State of Virginia, with.

of the Treasury. Judge Wylie held that
there was palpable violation of the law and
OF the regulations established by the Score
tary of the Treasury, and that the Secretary, in
prescribing the regulations, SO far as thew
were applicable TO this case, had not exceeded
the authority conferred upon him by the law
