LIEUT. COL. M. M. PRICE

We have seen a private letter from Col. M. M. Crocker, of the 13th Iowa regiment, addressed to Hon. Judge Dillon, in which, after mentioning that Lieut. Col. Price, though stunned, was found to be more slightly wounded that at first apprehended, says that “during the battle Lieut. Col. Price distinguished himself by his coolness and bravery, and since his connection with the regiment he has always deported himself as a good and faithful officer.” We gladly give publication to this honorable mention of our fellow citizen. He is a fair type of the Iowa boys.
