looking on, evidently to ridicule the pro-
ceedings and otherwise behaving IN man
ner not consistent with the dignity or the
Senate. l have seldom seen the proceedings
in that chamber so amusing. | have often
seen them as little profitable to the country,
and less creditable to some who took part
in them.

THE ADVANCING TROOPS.
We learn that the troops which started
from this city since Saturday night left the
vicinity of Tenleytown yesterday, and are
now at or beyond Rockville, the Slemmer
Guards, Capt. Knight; the Cameron Guards
and the National Rifles, under Maj. Smead,
being in advance accompanied by Capt.
Magruder's battery of United States artil
lery, with three field pieces. This is the
battery which the secessionists still allege
has deserted and Joined the enemy. The
troops have taken the river route and will
be followed Immediately by the list Penn
sylvania and New York 9th regiments,
which We're at Rockville today.
What is generally called the river route
is the road which DIVORCES from the Fred
erick road outside of Rockville, and passes
through Poolsville, direct to Edwards ferry
and on to Leesburg Va. We understand
that for several weeks past this Edwards
q ha a
for secessionIsts from Maryland, and also
for military stores, provisions, &c. This
being the case, our troops are probably des-
tined for that point, and 1t may be that
they will be quartered In Leesburg, Va,
which is only four miles from the ferry, a
short time hence, as all the boats in George
town were sent up the canal night or two
since, and may be made available in cross
Ing the Potomac as there is an outlet lock
into the river at that point.
The 9TH Battalion, District of Columbia
Volunteers, took the boats at the Chain
bridge this morning al o'clock and pro-
ceeded on toward Edwards ferry. The bat
talon is commanded by Lieut. Col. Everett.

regiments: the New York 18th. Goth and
Sth regiments, with the latters battery;
