REGIMENT

The 37th Regiment, Col. John Fl. McCunn, which
was to have LETT for Washington Saturday but was
detained by the absence Of more than half the men on
furiough, yesterday, at O'Clock p. M, left their
encampment on the Battery, aud marching direct TO
pier No |, embarked on The steamboat Atlas, Of the
Camden and Arnboy Rairosd An immense crowd
gathered about the Battery Dclosure and accompanied
the regiment to the pier where the most affecting part
ing took place. One expects TO see demoustra-
tive sorrow rampant when Irish regiment leaves for
scenes Of war; but yesterday the grief Of those left
behind most touching.
The shore be tween the Pier and Castle Garden was
densely crowded with shouting aud cheering throng.
As the boat moved away toward the jersey Shore the
decks like three broad dark lines surmoupted by tiers
of boyonets gncing Ia the rays OF the afternoon sun,
the ceere OF the soldiers heard and responded TO
by the anxiouse gazing crowd the shore until the
cheers from the departing braves became faint mur-
and eventually lost in the distance. Then
the swelling harmonies of the " Star Spangied
Banner borne on the breeze, TO which the crowd
listened n silence until the last sound that could be
appreciated by the ear died away, when they slowly
moved bomeward
About two hundred of the 37h Regiment are still in
the city, having been granted furlough two days be-
fore, and having the time received their pay
from the State they pretty generally applied both to
