In the battle soon to take place at Corinth, Iowa will be represented by twelve and probably fifteen regiments, viz: 2d, 3d, 6th, 7th, 8th, 11th, 12th, 13, 14th, 15th, 16th infantry and 2d cavalry, and probably the 5th, 10th and 17th regiments. Some of these regiments, as the 8th, 12th and 14th, will be feebly represented, being mostly prisoners of war, while others, as the 2d and 7th, have been so badly cut up in the battles in which they have already engaged, that they cannot muster many troops.
