Departure of the 41st Regiment.

The 4lst Regiment left Camp Wood
Cleveland, on the 9th inst. One compan.
in that regiment is from this county, ant
it has the post of honor, viz; the right o
the regiment. As will be seen by the fol
lowing, from the Cleveland Herald, Capt
Seth A. Bushnell has resigned, and Lieut.
Opdyckc takes command Of the Company
We regret that the health of Capt. Bush
nell made his resignation necessary, as he
would have been very useful in his po
sition, but we are sure that Lieut.. Opdyckt
is in every way competent to fill his place
He will undoubtedly be appointed captain
The Herald says:
The FOrty-First took up its line of march
this morning, and ere now is half way to
Camp Dennison, Preparations for depart
ure have been in progress for several days.
Yesterday afternoon the last parade in
Camp Wood took place, and a good parade
it was. The officers were en- ployed nearly
all last night in distributing rations, and
making their last arrangements. At day
break, this morning. the tents we're struck,
and at o'clock the Regiment rendezvoused
by Companies on the Park, the mud pre-
venting battalion movements. Here the
Regiment formed in line under Adjutant
Sanford, and prepared to march.
Just before forming the Regimental line,
Company A was drawn one side, and Capt
Seth A. Bushnell, in a short and patriotic
speech, resigned his position as Captain Of
the Company. This step was rendered i'm
perative by failing health. The lst Lieu
tenant, Opdycke, at once, of course assumed
command.
At ten o'clock the order to march was
given, and the Regiment stepped off to the
tune of ''The Girl left behind me, Jack
Leland's glorious old Band leading the van.
The streets being in poor condition, the
Regimental officers did not take charge of
the line, but nevertheless, the 4lst made
a splendid appearance, and as they march
ed down Superior and Water streets, made
every Clevelander's heart pulsate with
pride.
The Forty-Firstis peculiarly endearcd to
the citizens of Cleveland, from the fact that
three of the Field and many of the Com
pany officers are Clevelanders, and all of
the companies composed of residents of
Cleveland and vicinity, the Colonel himself
being a native of Portage county.
The regiment was escorted to the depot |
by the artillery companies attached to it,
lnder command of Capt Wetmorc. This
battery, which consists of two howitzers
md two Parrot rifed pieces, is to remain /
lere for the present, occupying Camp Wood. /
Ieland's band will not leave town until
Monday next, when they will join their
ommand at Camp Dennison.
A hurried farewell to mothers, wives
nd sweet-hearts at the depot, and the Hist
vas off to the wars
Speaking of sweet-hearts, we take pleas
ire in recording the following marriages
Thich occurred yesterday:
Major Geo. S. Mygatt, 4Ist Regiment
}. Y. NJ, and Mrs. Annie Clark. Capt.
rank d. Stone, Company E, 4Ist Regi-
lent, and Miss Lizzie Ives, all of Cleve-
and, these, of course, owing to the sudden
rders to march, were very private affairs.
Both these ladies were at the depot this
lorning, it being their intention to accom-
any their husbands to the seat ef war.
The 4lst left the depot in two trains
bout noon to-day, en- route for Kentucky
ia Camp Dennison. We bid them hearty
rod speed. Z
