We have five or six correspondents in . . .

. . . the eleven Iowa Regiments at Pittsburg. As we have had no letter from either of them since the battle the presumption is that they are all either killed, wounded or missing. It will be seen though our loss is greater than either the Philadelphia Inquirer or the Chicago Times as those papers lost each but one correspondent.
