Hagerstown, Md., June 23.--At a recent parade of the Wisconsin regiment, a scene of a solemn and deeply affecting nature occurred, which I have not before noticed.
After a regimental parade, the colonel, Starkweather, commanded the attention of his men, and addressed them on the subject of the great cause which brought them so far from home, and appealing to their courage and patriotism, asked if they were ready to follow him. All responded affirmatively.
But to five full effect and formal dignity to this resolution, he called for the colors of the regiment, and waving the Stars and Stripes in the breeze, kneeled at its foot, and offering up an invocation, in which the men were called upon to join, the whole regiment knelt as one man, and renewed their fealty to their flag.
There were few dry eyes witnessed this affecting scene.--N. Y. Tribune, June 26.

Regiments from Mississippi.--A correspondent of the Louisville Courier, writing from Memphis, June 26, says:--Mississippi has now nineteen regiments in the Confederate army, and has twelve more organized and drilling, ready to obey the first summons to march.
The Adams Troop from Natchez, the most splendidly equipped body of cavalry ever seen in this country, passed on to Virginia by the way of our city a few days ago. It is a corps formed among the gentlemen of Natchez and Adams counties, and drilled by General Quitman when he was in the prime of his military ardor.
It was kept up in its full efficiency till the present revolution, when it resolved to take part in the conflict, and since then it has been under the instruction of an experienced French cavalry officer.
There was not an ordinary horse in the troop of one hundred, and their splendid chargers seemed as thoroughly drilled as the men. The outfit of each member cost over $1,000, and there was not a private in the ranks
