. . . from Fort Donelson, and several sick ones from the hospitals, on their way to their homes, passed through this city yesterday. The wounded were from the Iowa 2d, 7th and 14th. One had been shot through the mouth, another in the neck, another in the eye, another in the head, one in the back, and one in the thigh – all of them severe wounds. On their arrival they were taken into the East Burlington depot by Capt. Newman, who was in waiting, and their wounds dressed by Dr. Harvey. Capt. Newman then brought them over the river and provided them with a comfortable dinner on the cars and started them on their way home.
