ment, the first for many years, owing to the
failure of his eyes

| tainly meet with the Second Corps, and
probably also Couch, Caldwell, Webb, Miles,
Brooke, and Walker.

division and brigade commanders, though
there are very few Of these alive.
The Fourth Corps expects Gems Stanley

The Fifth Corps relies on Fitz-John Por-
ter, s. W. Crawford, and others. to head it,

and Wilcox
Death has dealt with the Tenth Corps
with special hardness, and none of its old
corps Generals are alive. Probably Gen.

is the ranking officer of the corps alive.
The Eleventh Corps has been more for
turate. OF its old commanders there are
alive Gems. sigel. schurz, Howard, stahel,

D. Leggett and Secretary Rusk with it

Gems. L N. Palmer, w. f. Smith, B. F. But

Gen. Banks's health has been failing SO
rapidly that it is hardly hoped that he will

the corps expects w. B. Franklin, j. j.
Reynolds. Mcmillan, and others.
| The Twenty-second Corps will have pres
ent Gems. Parke and Augur, and others.

success
