pay from the date of muster out. The One hundred and forty-first Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers arrived here on the 30th ultimo and has not been paid. They were mustered out on the 28th and left Washington on the 29th. I learn it is proposed to pay them until and including the 27th. If it can at all be done, I wish much it could be. It would add so much to the satisfaction of the officers and men going out of service. I only arrived in the night, and have not learned the reason of the delay in the payment. There are now seven regiments here, and I fear that it will be some time before they will be paid off.
