FROM THE 141ST.-We learn that the 141st, our pet regiment of "hundreddazers,' has gone into camp at Columbus, Ky., but how long they will remain there is with us a mere matter of conjecture. On their way down to Cairo, over the Illinois Central railroad, the heat was so oppressive that several of the boys fainted away. There have been two deaths in the regiment since they left Elgin, one, TIMOTHY HAYES, a private in Capt. Herrington's company, drowned while bathing in the Mississippi river, and the other, a Swede whose name we did not learn of Capt. Beech's company of the tremens. We hope to hear often from our 141st.
Notice: Aug. 24, 1864 issue Elgin's Weekly Gazette.
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.

FROM CAIRO.
(Correspondence of the Chicago Times.)
Cairo, Ill., June 29,
If the troops of this brigade are not paid off before the expiration of the three months for which they enlisted, a very large number of them will refuse to be sworn in for further service. A considerable number of them will go home anyhow, but the per cent will be largely increased by further neglect in the matter in question. Few of them, indeed, can communicate with their families or friends for want of three cents wherewith to buy a postage stamp.At Camp Joslyn yesterday, Col. Cook's regiment, I learn, stacked their arms and declared that they would neither drill nor parade again until they got their money. Their wants, in a thousand ways, are exceedingly pressing, but not a single dollar have they to relieve them. The men became satisfied with fair promises however, and reconsidered their rather hasty determination.
Discharged due to Disability July 1, 1861.
