It may come today. A special train went south over the Monon at noon today, and the report was that it carried a regiment of U. S. soldiers.

present to the number of about 25. Uncle Isaac still preserves his bodily and mental faculties in a remarkable degree for so old a man. He comes of a long-lived family, however, and evidently may count confidently on quite a number of years yet of life and health.
