FROM THE 141ST.-We learn that our regiment of "hundreddazers," the 141st, are likely to smell gunpowder and see a speck of war. Gen. Paine has been getting up an expedition to clear out Johnsons rebel raiders who lately invaded Illinois and took several steamers loaded with cattle, and the 141st were counted in, and left Columbus on Tuesday last to join Gen Paine at Paducah. Large numbers of cattle and supplies have been retaken from the rebels by this expedition, and also many horses and mules of resident rebels. Late news reports that Gen. Paine has returned to Paducah.
Died Oct. 11, 1911.
