16th Regiment Off


The 16th regiment Iowa Infantry leave on the 10 o’clock train this morning for St. Louis.  There they will receive their muskets and take their position in some one of the brigades bound for the South.  They will leave not more than six or eight sick in camp, the good news of receiving marching orders having acted as a stimulant on the others and placed them in a condition to travel.
