THE MOVEMENT FROM WASHINGTON. |
MORE REGIMENTS GONE.
Several otEer regiments took up the line Of
march yesterday from this city, most Of them
going in the direction Of Rockville. Nothing
has yet been heard from the regiments which
left yesterday morning, though 1t is presumed
they have gone in the direction Of Frederick,
which place will probably be used as a point
Of rendzvous for the Union forces prior to the
march through Virginia. ... ......
The TRoPIc WIND CAsE-Aryument Of he
District Ahorney.-The following is a por.
tion of the argument of District Attorney Car
rington delivered before the District Court on
Saturday, in the case Of the schooner 7ropic
Wind, which was arrested in Chesapeake bay,
about two weeks since, in answer to the argu.
ment Of Mr.. Carlisle. The court reserves its
decision until to day.
Mr.. Darlington said
May it please the court: commend many

no American Judge will ever forget his obliga.

fashionable it may have become to disregard

He deprecates the idea that the couusels of
tie judiciary should ever be disturbed by the
violence Of faction. join in this prayer with
all my heart. If the demon Of party spirit
dares to show his horrid bead within these 50.
cred walls, hope that he will be exercised
promptly and forever. In regard TO his obser-
vations upon the Presidents proclamation Of
April ~, l must be permitted to soy that, in

indeed, somewhat. caustic-holding it up, he

answer the question by asking another. Was
such state Of affairs ever known before in
the history Of nations? The people of the
greatest, freest, and happiest Republic that ever
existed, in the full tide of national prosperity,
are divided, without cause, into two hostile fac.
tions, by the Internal Vaccinations of heartless
lawless traitors and designing demagogues,
who have no redeeming quality but their polt.
ical sagacity. Not very long ago, rebellion
sprung up in the State Of South Carolina it
was in the power OF the past Administration to
crush it out without much difficulty. But, in.
stead OF doing so, they spend their time, which
D belonged to the whole people, in robbing the
Treasury and the public srsenals to furnish arms
, and money to the rebels, who plotted the de.
. struction OF our common country. Good men
saw that this rebellion, unless promptly sup.
pressed, must ultimately eliminate into civil
war. They knew that conspiracy had been
e formed, which was represented by conspirators
1; in different States of the Union, who had
formed and systematized plans of treason, guilt,
: and ruin. They saw, with horror and indig
nation, or national symbols insulted with i'm.
\. punity, under the false pretence of Federal op
y preston. They trembled for the integrity and
perpetuity Of our great and glorious Govern

was clandestinely furnished to the learned proc
