Iowa Regiments At Fort Donelson

An article copied from the Chicago Tribune into the GAZETTE yesterday placed the number of Iowa regiments engaged in the storming of Fort Donelson at seven.  We doubt if there were more than four, or at most five present, as the 11th and 13th at latest accounts were still in Missouri, the former at Fulton and California and the latter at Jefferson City.
