As an instance showing the activity of the operators and messengers of the American District Telegraph Company. it is stated that the officers and members of the Crescent City Battallion assembled at their armory within an hour after a call had been sent over the wires fr them, and rhis too was after dark. The Dis trict Te egraph has become an adjunct to every department of business. When the call was made for the companies to assemble in pursuant to general order, Capt. Lord, of the Behan Zouaves. started for the convention, in session at Odd Follows' Hall. and. calling for his boys to prepare for active duty, came very near breaking the qurum: after consultation with Capt. Lord and the president of the convention he was induced to lot the boys remain, and quiet reigned supreme. Bully for Lord Ie s m TENSASl PARISH. Quiet Restored and Ihe Militia Relieved Until Further Orders. All the young bloods of Now Orleans. who were not convalescent from yellow fever or whose minds are easily taken up by excite ment, were astir yesterday early in the morn lng about the call upon the militia to assemble in force, in order to suppress riot and enforce law and order in Tenses parish. As was publshed in yesterday's DEMOCIAT all the militia of the city was ordered to be In readiness, and the fleeot-footed, or rather swift paddled steamer Frank I'argoud was to bring them to the scene of action. Young hearts beat hastily in anticipation of promised excitement, and youthl who had never witnessed a fight or a loray. and who. as we used to say, "spoiled for a flight" could be scarcely repressed in their ardent desire to go forth and perform deeds of valor that would, as it were, encircle them with a halo of glory in the eyes of the maidens they admire. It was an unusual sight in these ex clusive days of politics and epidemic to see men uniflormed and equplped passing through our streets, their regalia showing bright under the rays of an autumnal sun. Alas. "vanity of vanities, and overything is vanity!" The orders did not come, the riot was suppresqed. Law, Order and Peace were restored in Tonsas parish without the aid of our glaring militia. The troops were kept under marching orders until 3 o'clock p. m. yesterday, when they were dismissed, upon order of Col. John Glynn Jr., to report at head uarters at a given signal from the fire alarm bells. tnat is, twenty consecutive ta's. We scarcely beloeve now that the alarm will ever be given, or that our militia will have any chance of showing up against an emergency. as our special dlspatch. published in the tele graphic columns, shows that quiet is restored in Tensan parish. lHis Excellency Gov. Nicholls received last. night a telegram from Mr. Farrar, district a'torney of Tensas, which is in substance as follows, in answer to his dispatch inquiring whether further aid was necessary to restore quiet in the parish. The district attorney tolegraphs that there are at the seat of the disturbance from five to six hundred men, well armed, mostly militia from Tensas and the adjoilning varishes, and his orinion is that they are fully enabled to keep order and enforce the law. He advises tie Governor at the same time. that if at any mo ment he should not think the present force suf flcient he will immediatly tely tegorah for aid. This ends the riot and blasts the hopes of the ardent young soldiers who were anxious to take a trip up the river. Register before the offices are crowded.

GARRIMON'4 WEVDDING. The Venerable Millionaire Married to a Young Lady of Nt. Louls. IN. Y. World ] Corn. Cornelius K. Garrison was married last Thursday by the Rev. )r. It. R. Booth, of the P'resha terian Church at the corner .f I ni versity Place and Tenth street, to Miss Leti tia Willet Itandell, eldest daughter of Mr. John M. Rltandell, a retired merchant of St. Louis. The wedding was very private, and the core mony was performed in the apartments of the bride's father, at the Windsor IHo,tel. There was no display of any kind at the wed ding, and immediately afterwards the Cornm mn.iore and Mrs. Garrison went to the C(om n odore's house at Tflirty-sixth street and Park Avenue, a bridal toor being dispensed with. Com. Garrison and Mr. Randell have been in tirnate friends for many years, and the Commodore knew his bride when she was a -. child. She is now a young lady of about twenty-five. Corn. Garrison is over sixty years of age, is tall, and has long, white hair. It is estimated that he is worth over five million dollars, a large part of which is in the Atlantic and I'acilie, the Kansas Pacilic andr the Metropoli tan Elevated railroads, time Municipal Gas Light Company and different line's of steam ships. Hlis lirst wife died a few years a go, anr( was noted for her deeds of charity. lie has two children-Williamr It. Garrison, pres ident of the Metropolitan Elevated Railroad, and Mrs. Van AuKcen, of Filth Avenue. It is probable that the son anrid daugher will re ceive nearly all of their father's fortune, and it is said that about $300,000 was settled upon Mrs. Garrison as her marriage portion. During the season when Com. Garrison was at Saratoga it was noticed that he was very atte:ntive to Miss Randell. It was rumored that they were to be married, but the wedding notice which appeared last Friday was the first intirrmation any persons, excepting the nearest friends of the bride and groom, had of the wedding. Corn. Garrison began his business life as captain of a Mississippi steamboat. In 1850 he went to California with quite a fortune, and investing largely in commercial ventures, soon became prominent among business men there. Six months after he arrived in San Frandisco he was elected mayor of that city, and introduced many needed reforms in the municipal government. When he went out of office he divided his entire salary in equal shares between the Catholic and Protestant asylums in the city. IHe came to this city before the war, and, with Corn. Vanderbilt, bought a majority of the steamship line from New York to San Francisco. He afterwards sold his shares to Corn. Vanderbilt for several million dollars. During the war he fitted out at his own expense the Butler Ship Island ex pedition. No delays at registration offices.
