MILITIA PARADE.-Another display of militia
took place yesterday. The greater portion of the
forces mustered in the Washing ton Parade Ground,
in whose spacious area there was still ample room
for many more. There was less difficulty in count
ing them than discovering Tor what earthly purpose
they were there, which was not at all discernible
TO a looker-on. The current belief, however,
among the militia men was, that the object 10
sending them there was to keep them from their
work, just at the time Of year when there is most
to do. We cannot give the pre- else number OF those
who were on the ground, as it was not easy to dis
tinguish between those under arms and those who
were looking on; but as possible, the regi-
ments out may be estimated thus:-The 263rd re-
giment Of infantry, about $50 rank and file; the
SSH regiment of infantry, $50; the 9Th regiment,
consisting OF the Presidents Guards" 10 to 81
strong, and the National Greys, 80 strong. In ths
calculation we include all who carried muskets.
many Of whom were rather apparently below the
age required by the service. few assembled in
Tompkin's Square in the morning, but dispersed
at such an early hour that we were not fortunate
enough to get peep at them. We understand there
10 to be another display to-day. All who possess
taste for military affairs will be amused, if not
gratiied, by an attendance.
