A joint resolution passed the Iowa Legislature on Thursday last, protesting against the reported disgrace of this regiment, and calling on Gen. Halleck for investigation. This is making rather a ‘big thing’ of a small matter, as it all seems to have arisen out of a petty jealousy toward this regiment, or, it may be, to show the brief authority of the two gentlemen who acted as Assistant Adjutant Generals. If Gen. Halleck sees proper to meddle with so insignificant a matter, we hope he will give these officials a good reprimand for their foolish conduct.
