10y TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
BOsTON June ia fair idea OF the scenes on the
line of march may be obtained by a review OF the
experience of the 9TH Regiment of New-York,
which occupied prominent position, and was the
recipient of many kind attentions. The general
order called for the assembly OF the 9TH at fior-

regiment was punctually on hand, forming

mishap the escort did not arrive until

paid a marching salute to their escort, the 9Th Mas
sachusetts, which was drawn up, under command OF
Col Peach in front of Boston Common, near Park
st, Church. The 9TH marched past with company
front, ten companies of twenty-One files; then
broke into column of tours, and wheeled
into line Of battle, amid loud applause
from the solid mass of persons assent
Iled ON the sidewalks and from the crowded
windows. The Sth Massachusetts acknowledged the
salute by marching in company front of "a files, 10
companies and then escorted the 9TH to their place
in line at the head of the first division. The rcgi-

Park ST., expecting TO commence the march every
minute. After waiting thus for over an hour, the
order was given to stack arms, and the men were
allowed TO leave the ranks and seek the shade until
the drum-call for the assembly. After the
State troops had fallen into position and tho

ordered to move. Passing along Park and fremont
