FRod FoRr LEAyRNwOKTH.-The steamer Ber-
trand arrived at this port yesterday from tse Mis-
souri, Major Stewart, paymssIer OF this district
las passenger. We learn that, before leaving
Fort Lsavenworth, he paid 10 the nine companies OF
the 81 regiment Of Missouri volunteers then at that
post, the commutatIon for one years cothing-JOf-
iy-he0 dollars. The order to dIsband the regiment
had not been received when he left the fort. On
reaching home yesterday, he found his instructions
IN regard TO the full payment OF the volunteers PRIOR
TO their discharge from the service These instruc-
tons will make IL necessary for him to repair again
TO the fort; and he has taken his passage on boat
which leaves to-day. The volunteers from ST. Lou.
is will receive pay to a9d from The place OF rem
devious, amounting TO about twenty-five dollars;
and il they shall have been in service one month,
further sum Of seven dollars. So that each Of them
will be paid seventy dollars for the time thus
devoted to the service OF the country.
gentleman who was passenger IN the Ber-
trand, was at Independence while the boat lay al
the landing during the night. He there heard that
an individual had arrived from Bent's Fort, who
stated that he had met, and passed, express from
General Kearney TO Fort Leayenworth, with the
ldings that General Kearney had entered Santa Fe
without any opposition. This the report, and
VIC give 1t as such-remarklng, however, that Col
Wharton, in command at Fort LeaVenworth, was
in daily expectation Of an express, with advces
from General Kearney. That he has captured San
Ia Fe, we have no sort of doubt.
