On arriving at the depot in this city they
dsembarked from the cars, and the line was
formed on Chestnut street. The Regiment
then marched to the steamer Merrimac, lying
at Galt's Wharf, on board which they en-
barked. They were accompanied by their
A,a
music. There were no noisy demonstra-
tons Of applause during their march, but
handkerchiefs and hats were waved to the
gallant soldiers.
The appearance Of the officers and men
was very fine. They were all eager to be off
to the field. Their department at Augusta
has been commended by citizens of that place,
and it is spoken of as being the most civil reg
iment ever quartcred in that city.
The men are armed with the latest style of
Springfield rifles, and each man has furnished
himself at his own expense, with Shorts pa
tent knapsack. Each man pays ten cents
monthly for the support Of the Band, during
their enlistment.
This Regiment has allotted more extensive
ly, and to greater amount, than any other
one that has gonefrom this State. The MEM
bers of the Regiment have already transmitted
$4,000 of their pay and bounty to their fami-
lies and friends. In Co. !, Capt. Frank l..
Jones, 10 OF the members have allotted about
5000 of their monthly pay for the support of
their families. The allotment Of the entire
regiment amounts to over $50, 900 per year.
Col. Fessenden has won the respect and es-
TEEN of his men by his courteous and officer
like demeanor towards them. He possesses,
to a remarkable degree, the prime requisites to
command. Lieut.. Col. Hubbard and Major
Whitman are well known among the soldiers
as first rate officers, and the staff officers are
men who have been tried in the furnace.
The steamer hauled off into the stream last
evening, and will leave this morning at Q
o'clock. A salute will be fred from Fort
Gorges, the first guns fired from that fortifca-
ton.
