Iowa Regiments In Tennessee

By reference to the letter of our correspondent, it will be seen that the 8^th Iowa regiment has reached Savannah, Tenn.  There were then four of our regiments at that point, the 6^th, 8^th, 11^th, and 13^th.  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.
