Really interesting cover! It has a little bit of everything. That 3c strip is 24-26R4.

Thanks for the plating!
Yes, that cover has interest from a postal usage and stamp point of view, in addition to the cameo ad.

The Adam's Express combined with the Louisville make for a nice show of postal markings during the early Civil War period.

1861 was an interesting year from a postal history point of view.
States were seceding, as part of the start of the Civil War, we got a new issue of stamps in the Fall of 1861, earlier stamps got demonetized, and so on.

Here is another fun postal marking from 1861.
