TIE ADVANCE or ScoTT's COLUMN FROM
WAsHINGToN.-The Washington currespui-
dent oi the Cincinnati Gazette has the follow
ing announcement of the march Of the great
army OF invasion from Washington:
The formal movement across the Potomac
was inauguraed on gigantic scale to-day.
At an carly hour the troops we're mustered in
every camp, and their arms and accou,rc
mcnts put in tie finest order The bands
played their most inspiring airs. and thousands
OF citizens and strangers poured fourth TO wit,
"ess the imposing spectacle. About one
clock Gen. Scutt and staff crossed the river,
preceding the most Of the regiments The
sght WAS n3st impressive aud grand The
aged General seemed to have renewed his
youth Ills snowy locks were the only evil
dencc of his venerable age. His eyes sparkled
with the fire which confidence of his ca,lse
had enkindetl, and his almost giant stature
rendered him conspicuous among the GERS
around him. The stranger could not mistake
the Chief.
The demonstration, considered only as pa
gealt, was most successful and the public
are nearly as enthusiastic as over the news
or even the sislit of some botly contested bat
tic. All seem to think that the Rubicon has
now been passed and The war actually begun.
There are at present fity-ivc regiments be.
tween the Potomac and Fairfax Courthouse.
The Ohio regiments arc with the most adj
vanccd columns.
