The sixth regiment Of Massachusetts, In.
fantry arrived here about FIVE o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and were received at the Depot with
the widest enthusiasm. An immense crowd,
numbering some four or Eve thousand, had
assembled at the Depot, who cheered the troops
most vociferously as they emerged from the
cars, and, taking their places in line, took up
their line of march for their quarters in the
Capitol. The exciting news received here in
the early part of the afternoon, in relation to
the attack on the regiment in Baltimore, and
the subsequent rumors of the ears having been
thrown Off the track after leaving that city,
had worked the minds of the people here up to
a fever Of excitement, which was greatly re.
lieved when the passenger train arrived at five
o'clock, and announced that the train contain.
ing the troops would reach here Eve minutes
later.
As the train passed H street, the Metropol
tan Rifles, who had congregated there, gave
them three rousing cheers, and then stopped
the cars and came down to the depot with them.
The train stopped little beyond the depot, so
as to give the troops room to form and march
out on to New Jersey avenue, without having
to pass through the depot. They then formed
in lines, double file and marched up New Jer-
sey avenue, and from thence to the rotunda of
the Capitol, entering by the east portico. All
along the route, the greatest enthusiasm was
manifested by the vast crowds which had formed,
almost blocking up the way. Loud and pro.
longed cheers were heard on all sides, mingled
with such cries as Good for Massachusetts "
"Bunker Hill is not forgotten yet |" "Wel.
come, men of Massachusetts, One old man
in the crowd, with his hat of, and his white
hair rolling down his back, shouted until he
was able to speak no longer, and then, almost
in q whisper added, "Thank God, Massachu-
