The militia question in Petersburg.

A habeas corpus case is being tried in Petersburg to test the question whether the militia of that city now in camp near there have been turned over to the Confederate States. It has been proved in the trial that many of the men had furnished substitutes for the Confederate army and had been exempted from service in that army. On the other hand a telegram from Adj't Gen. Cooper to Gen. Jenkins was read in court, stating that the militia of that city must be considered in the Confederate service, and that provisions must be furnished them from the Confederate commissary stores. The Judge will deliver his decision to-morrow.
