Honor to the Second Iowa.--The following despatch from Major-Gen. Halleck, is honor enough for the Iowa Second:

The Second Iowa infantry proved themselves the bravest of the brave! They had the honor of leading the column which entered Fort Donelson.

H. W. Halleck, Major-General

[89]

An Iowa regiment has a rule that any man who utters an oath shall read a chapter in the Bible. It is said that several have got nearly through the Old Testament.--Dubuque Times.
