Minnesota Third Regiment.

MINNESOTA mira Regiment
The Third Regiment of Minnesota Vol
unteers started for Louisville last Saturday.
From an early hour in the morning the
streets were thronged, but the boats got
aground near Mendoza, and remained about
three hours, and it was not until noon
that they reached the upper landing. Here
they disembarked and marched up Eagle
street to the Winslow House, thence down
Third street to the lower levee, and imme,
diately re embarked. The departure of
this regiment, as of its predecessors, was
attended by many affecting parting scenes,
but the boys appeared in the best of spirits,
and manifested much more enthusiasm than
the crowd that witnessed their departure.
AS the boats backed into the stream, the
soldiers kept up succession of cheers, and
waving of hats, until they were almost out
OF sight, and a few faint attempts were
made to answer them on shore, but with
little effect. This was not owing to indif.
ference, on the part of our people, and may
be attributed to an intensity of feeling that
forbade expression the boys would
have been better pleased to have received
hearty cheering off.
The regiment is handsomely clothed, but
is without arms, and has had but little
practice in the manual. They will be pro-
vided with arms at ouisv.lle, and we
presume will not be ordered to the advanced
positions, until they have learned to use
them, and have been properly disciplined
in other respects.
The men. as body, are not inferior to
those in the First and Second Regiments.
They are mOetly young men, but we noticed
a number, who, from appearance, might
have been nearly fifty years of age, but they
looked as if they could staud the fatigues OF
camp life as we'll as the youngest. There
was probably larger proportion of farmers
in this regiment than in any of the others.
Some Of the men were almost giants 10 sta
ture, and loosely constructed, while there
we're others of stature that would hardly
come up to the regulations, but they we're so
arranged in the descending scale from the
heads of companies, that the contrast was
not so obvious, as when mixing together
out of the ranks.
