The United States Paymaster declines
to pay the certificates of the three months
men Of the First Regiment, because they
do not contain an accurate description OF
the persons to whom they were issued, as
required by the War Department. The
Paymaster has sent to Washington for
instructions, and it is presumed the rules
will be waived, but none will be paid until
he gets Instructions. ~ s.AT5s

SUNDAY ~ The FORT.


SUNDAY ~ The FORT.
The acenes ct The Fort on Sunday were
but repetitions Of those observed on several
preceding days, with the addition perhaps
Of double the number Of people. and an in
tenser interest, as the hour for breaking up
the camp drew nearer and nearer. The
plain contiguous to the tents was covered
with carriages of every shape and descrip-
Hon, and by thousands Of people, who ar
rived there, we know not how. for the boats
running from the city could not hold one
quarter of them. At the close Of the dress
parade, most of them started for home,
while some remained until morning. There
were many affecting parting scenes, that
we're necessarily more public than they
should have been, but these can be well
imagined by all who are possessed of hu-
man sympathies, and cannot properly be
detailed.
THE FINAL DEPARTURE.
Early yesterday morning the tents were
struck and everything packed and put on
board the steamers Northern Belle and Ke-
okuk, and after breakfast the companies
were formed, the roll called, the stragglers
brought into camp" and the whole regi-
ment marched down to the boats, and went
on board. As the boats backed out, the
men of the Third and Fourth regiments
gave the Second succession of loud
cheers. which met hearty responses from
the boys of the Second.
In the meantime, the people of st. Paul
turned out en- naasse into Third street, and
on the upper and lower levees. They did
not wait long, for soon after the boats
started from Smelling, the smoke from their
chimneys was deserted curling up through
the foliage Of the river banks, and in a
short time they were in fallview Of the city,
and soon arrived at the Upper Levee. There
was gathered hundreds Of people, and among
them some disconsolate ones, who had ia
ken positions there, hoping before the line
was formed to get one more pressure Of
the hand, and one more kiss, and We
were glad to see they were not in all cases
disappointed. The troops, however, hurried
off the boats.as fast as possible, and soor
were got into the line of march. They
went up Eagle street to the Winslow
House, and then made sharp turn into
Third street, heading towards the lower
levee. The sidewalks were crowded, anG
nearly all the windows on the street. Each
soldier seemed to feel that be was thu
observed Of all observers" and marched
more erect, and with frmer tread, than ht
had ever done before. They were moi
greeted with vociferous cheering, but quiv
ering lips and fearful eyes assured then
better than anything else Of the sympathie'
of the vast crowd that thropged theil
march.
1t is perhaps superauous to say that the
regiment made splendid appearance. One
thousand stalwart men, handsomely uni
formed, and completely equipped-a thou.
sand bayonets glistening in the sun-would
be splendid sight anywhere.
The men marched rapidly down the street
to the levee, and were soon on board, and
with very little delay the boats backed out
into the stream. The soldiers waved their
hats and cheered Justify, and seemed much
livelier than the people on shore, whose
responses were very faint indeed.

BATTALION DRILL OF THE FIRST REGI.

St. Peter Statesman, we copy the following
paragraph:

CHAPLAIN CREssEYs PRAYERs.-Now
that the Elder has departed with his flock
for the seat of war, we may be permitted
to allude to his remarkable prayers at the
close of dress parade each evening at the
Fort. They were generally about fifteen
minutes in length, and contained special
mention, by name, of all our prominent
generals, with frequent illusions to the stars
and stripes and the American eagle. The
rebels were generally remembered in about
the following style:
Oh, Lord God, in thy great mercy bring these
rebellious people of the seeded States to q
realizing sense of their great wickedness, bring
them back to a christian love of their God and
country by revealing to their minds the
enormity of their sins and the fearful breadth
of their trsnsgressions, but, oh God, if in their
stubbornness of heart, they will remain
welded to their false idol, secession if they
will persist with arms in their hands in making
war upon their beloved land--oh Lord pour
upon these traitors to their God and country,
leaden and iron hail without stint and without
mixture; until they lay down their arms or are
stricken from the face of the earth
