       Notice: Sept. 11, 1861 issue Elgin's Weekly Gazette.
   With the Fox River Regiment, in camp below Aurora, all our readers are well acquainted.  From the moment of its conception to the present hour it has gone right on to a full and complete success.  It is now 1200 strong and will, no doubt, be ordered to St. Louis in a few days there to be equipped and put into the Grand Army.
