My troops all did well, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Missouri, side by side, render you that praise and honor which is justly your due. Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Missouri, your native St they caught a tartar. With an Iowa General to direct, and Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana troops to execute, tile clunt came up, but we failed in all our calculations. The Iowa regiments engaged, and more especially the Nineteenth, has added largely to the enviable reputation of our Iowa soldiers. The three companies from Louisa and Henry suffered perhaps mtempt.

By this time the secesh cavalry had complete possession of the town, and were driving our men in little squads as prisoners toward the depot. Before our lunch came, there was a violent ringing at the door-bell. I looked out and saw three cavalrymen at the gate and one at the door. The negro answered the bell. Tell your master that we want him, and every other man in the house, quick! A Lieutenant Langworthy, from Iowa, was in the house; we heard every word, and having all our arrangements made except breakfast, we went down, Wing ahead. Good morning, gentlemen, said I; you favor us with rather an early call this morning. Rayther, said he, with a grin like a crocodile. Where is the officer of Gen.

rd, fought well and faithfully during the entire contest. Companies A, C, F, G, and H, of the Eighteenth Iowa--numbering one hundred and fifty-six men — fought as Iowa boys know how to fight. Their heavy loss and bloody record is proof of their valor. The Quinine brigade (made up of men from Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, and otherIowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, and other States) fought like heroes, Spartans, and veterans, as their respective commanders report. All the troops, with a few exceptions, did their duty. I cannot forbear to say that to the vigilance of General Brown, his promptness in preparing to meet the enemy, and to his coolness, courage, and personal supervision of the troops ids, they were rallied, and made a spirited charge upon the enemy, driving them back south of the Fayetteville road, being assisted on their left by a detachment of Iowa troops under Colonel B.
