member Of the old Stonewall Brigade of Lees
army, says that the Second Corps survivors,

circular asking members of the Second Corps
of the Union army to reune at the National
Encampment Sept 90, and stating that " a most
cordial invitation to greet once more the sur
vivors of the old Iron Second, whose long line
of victories, so gloriously achieved, proclaim it
one Of the grandest organizations that ever
upbore the integrity of . Nation on its
bayonets." The writer thinks this . little
grandiloquent, and would like to ask the sur
vivors of the Second Corps where so many
grand victories were won by them, when, as
well-known fact, the Second Corps after Han
cock quilted it, got knocked out every time
they made a movement. He does not want to
critcise the brave Second Corps Of the Army
Of the Potomac, one of the best fighting Corps
of the Union army, but as he was at the front
on the other side, and believes that he knows
something of war history he would ask some
member of the Second Corps to show whore
they whipped the enemy on so many occasions
as the circular alluded to would suggest.
