By reference to the letter of our correspondent, it will be seen that the 8th Iowa regiment has reached Savannah, Tenn. There were then four of our regiments at that point, the 6th, 8th, 11th, and 13th. Savannah is the county seat of Hardin county, which borders on Alabama, and is located on the Tennessee river about 250 miles above its mouth. It is a flourishing little village of about 500 inhabitants, and is about fifty miles, by river from Tuscumbia, through which town runs the Memphis and Charleston railroad.
