On our second page this morning will be found many interesting details of the fight at Fort Donelson. An article from the Chicago Tribune, which we publish, ascribes participation in that honorable struggle to seven Iowa regiments. This may be and we hope it is so, but we are under the impression the 11th and 13th regiments were still in Missouri. Troops, however, move so expeditiously now-a-days that it is almost impossible to keep pace with them.
