FRIEND MAHIN Enclosed you will
find list Of killed, wounded and mis-
ing of the 18th Iowa regiment, at the
battle of Poison Springs, near Camden,
Arkansas, The number of Federal
troops engaged was 200, the rebel force
5000. The Federal loss was 223, the reb-
ell loss 800.
The 18th Iowa regiment have proven
themselves well worthy of the name of
the State from which they have gone.
During our last campaign of tifty-six
days the regiment marched 700 miles,
and participated in five engagements.
No news here of Importance.
The Arkansas river is in good boating
condition, but it is with great difficulty
that the boats can run, on account of the
bushwackers, who fire on every boat
that comes up. We get all our supplies
by train from Little Rock.
Lieut.. Col. Campbell is in command
of a detachment of the 1st brigade, sta
toned at GAINESVILLE.
A small boat, loaded with commissary
stores, was captured by the rebels sixty
five miles above this point, and destroy
ed. 1t was a small boat that run be-
tween Fort Smith and Fort Gibson.
Yours, respectfully,
CHESTER G! CLOVER,
Capt. Co. X, 18th Iowa Reg't.
