We are indebted to our friend, Col. N. Perczel, Iowa 10th Regiment for a fine photograph remembrancer of himself. As the letter accompanying it was written at Bird’s Point, Feb. 18th, we presume the brave boys of the Iowa 10th didn’t have the opportunity of signalizing themselves at the storming of Fort Donelson. It is a shame that an officer of so much experience and ability as Col. Perczel should be kept in camp and under the authorityof Generals who are his inferiors in age and military knowledge. We hope our gallant friend may be the first man of the federal forces to enter the city of Memphis and that it may not be long before he does it.
