The regiment broke camp, at Augusta. Feb

bariEed on board steamer Merrimac and sailed
for New Orleans on the Sth, at which place
they arrived on the 10th. 1t was actively en-
gagged in the Red River campaign, and, at the
battle OF Cane River, Col. Fessenden received
a+woumd which caused amputation Of one Of
his feet. Subsequently Lieut. Col Hubbard
was wounded, as was also Major Whitman
Last November the re-enlisted men of the
13th Maine were consolidated with the 30th,
and other recruits were added, bringing the
number of men in the regiment to upwards OF
1,400. During the year 1854, it was in every
engagement under Gen. Banks.
After severe service in Louisiana tha Regi
ment was ordered to Bermuda Hundreds. Wiz
GINA, where it was under Gen. Butler. From
thence it went to Alexandria, then to Savan-
nah, at which place it has been since the war
subsidized. Its record is a glorious one, and il
has earned for itself a fame Of which the sol
diers may well be proud. la aas4'

Leader Of the Band, Portland
The Karnak, Capt. F. W. Thane, left Sa
vannah at s O'Clock Saturday morning, 18th,
and had a very pleasant passage. Some
twenty or twenty-five of the soldiers were sick
with dysentery, three of whom died on the pas
sage. The number of men who returned i.
71S-viz.; field officers, 8 staff officers, 81
line officers, and 658 men. The steamer also
brought six horses. The officers and soldiers
speak in high terms of praise Of Capt Thranes
attention during the passage.
The names of those who died on the pas
sage are Evatt Willard, Co. G; Stephen B.
Stevens, Co. +, and Moses King, Co. 1. The
latter was French Canadian. They were all
buried at sea.
William Gillespie of Bangor, Co. ID, died
yesterday, just after the steamer arrived al
this port. His remains will be sent to Bangor
The Regiment, to the music of their excel
lent Band, marched from the State Street
Wharf, where they were landed, to the OLD
City Hall, where quarters had been provided
for them. A large coneourse of people ac-
companied them, and gave them frequent
cheers. Supper was provided for them by Mr..
Wheeler of the p. S. & P. Depot Refieshment
Room, and served to them in the hail. This
morning Mr.. Higgins Of the Portland & Ken
nebcc Depot Saloon will furnish the soldiers
with breakfast. The Regiment, as we
are informed, viii go to Augusta to be paid
off and mustered cut of service. The necessi-
ty for this we fall to perceive. There is great
dissatisfaction expressed by the soldiers at
being taken down there and then Obliged
,(most OF them) to return at their own ex-
pense, when they could just as well have been
paid off and mustered out here, and at a saw
ing of some thousands of dollars to the Gov
eminent.
On their march to City Hall the Regiment
passed through State Street and halted in
front of the residence of their first Colonel
Francis Fessenden, and, although he was alb
sent, the men gave three hearty cheers to
show their love and respect for their old com
mander. I.Ffa
