PARADE OF TROOPS.
Pennsylvania troops had grand parade on
the Avenue this morning, attracting, In spite
of the Indictment weather, an enthusiastic crowd.
After which, the Fourth Regiment New.Jersey
troops paraded through the Avenue, en- route for
their camp-ground on Meridian Hill, near the
camp of the New-YOrk Seventh. The site chosen
for them is one of the pleasantest near the city,
and commands beautiful view of the Potomac
for some sixteen miles, fort Washington being
distinctly ible therefrOm. This is one Of finest
bodies of men in the city.

Now that it is q settled fact that no opposi-
ton win be made to the transportation of Fed

the face of any one in the street. Beside the
foregoing, numbering, all told, l,7l2 men, there
were 400 unmounted dragons brought in this
morning, 90 that our force is rapidly reaching
10000 soldiers in this vicinity. The Pennsylya-
MIA Regiment 10 quartered in various sections Of
the city, and, as they will remain but short
time before they encamp, it will be Of no use to

neither man nor devil.
THE FORCE IN ALEXANDRIA.
Being determined to ascertain the exact nu.
merical force in Alexandra and other points con.

hence this morning, who, having this moment re.
turned, reports that no opposition 10 offered to
travellers between the cities; that all along the
road for two miles this side Of Alexandra, picket
guards are stationed, who seem TO have nothing
to do with passers, but whose Office is evidently
to convey by signal or otherwise information of
the approach OF Federal troops. In the city all
was quiet and orderly. One company of men
was drilling in bowling alley, another was
marching in the street, and both were composed
of well built, well armed, clean looking Ameri-

familiarity existed between the officers and men.

who returned with the above troops, but as they

was soon rid, as the returning omnibus came
along, and in it he with safety returned.
