It is pretty certain that the Iowa brigade, under command of Brig. Gen. McKean and composed of the 6th, 11th and 18th regiments and the 5th Ohio Battery, is a participant in the battle now being fought at Island No. 10, in the Mississippi river. Our State is represented, and bravely so, in every battle that occurs in the West. It is our battle ground.
