THs BATTLE AT BELMoHf.-By the letter In
mother column from one of our Iowa boys, It
appears very clear that the Iowa 7th did the
hardest fighting at Belmont-su0ered most in
killed and woupded-that the gallantry of its
Colonel vas conspicuous, no other officer on
that bloody field exhibiting more ,coelness and
bravery and no one facing even 90 great dan
ger. Yet the lying report Of that affair, furn-
presence Of the Iowa 7th Regiment, ani be,slo'
ri6ed Illinois Generals and Illinois troops for do
ing oil the planning, and fighting. We shall
leave the 6rst portion Of it,, the planning OF
~ illssarred expedition, where il belongs, with
ths Illinois Brigadiers. But as to the fighting,
the Iowa boys did their share, as they have o.
every Geld where they have been engaged. Even
he Chicago papers are forced to own it at the
eleventh hour. H.e&4#
HThe modesty of Illinois Generals is only
sqsalIed by that Of the Chicago editors. Gen.
Grant. who commanded the Belmont expedition
nd claims the glory of the Victory, telegraphed
he St. Louis Democrat 10 oIdah.n
'Gen. NcClernand and myself had a horse
each shot under us."Sss i 5tss
Col Lauman had two horses shot under him,
nd fought ON the third, but Grant didn't hear
dit
We sugget to Grant that he leave this putting
