A Little Discussion of Evants of the Red
River Campaign.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The
communication of Comrade w. 4. Hess,
161st \. Y, in Il recent issue, recalls to
my mind some of the incidents of disas-
trous campaign. 1t was planned and or
ganized by Gen. Banks in the Winter of
1863 at New Orleans, La, for the pur-
pose of clearing out the Red River coun-
try in western Louisiana of all the rebels
that were there. 1t started well equipped
early in the Spring of 1864, and met with
complete success up to April aud 8.
My regiment, the SD Ohio, with the
rest of the Second Brigade, Fourth Di-
vision, Thirteenth Corps, was in front on
the main and only road, and along with it
was the entire wagon train of the army,
and on either side of the road were
swamp and cane-brakc.
We marched along all day, with fire.
quent skirmishes with the enemy, until
about D. H., the rebels made Il stand
in n wood in front of large open space,
which we came to out of the road we We're
on unexpectedly.
We went into line of battle, but were
driven back by an overwhelming force,
and all on this one road. 1t was every
thing together; drivers cut traces and
mounted the mules for the rear, and
everyone for himself. We had no assist
ance till we got ut least five miles back.
A Zouave regiment was drawn up on the
line through which we passed supposed
TO be, as near as | can recollcct, Il New
York regiment). They gave the rebels a
warm reception. 1t was then about dark,
but the army kept up the retreat all night,
and daylight found us at Pleasant Hill,
where was a. j. Smith with colored
troops part of the Sixteenth Corps,
drawn up in line of battle, waiting for
the advance of the rebels, who soon APP
peared, coming through a strip of woods,
which could be plainly seen, as our men
were on n slight elevation. They gave it
to them hot and drove them back quite
distance.
The expedition was then abandoned
and the army resumed retreat. When we
got to Alexandria, the river was falling.
Details were made to build dam to get
the gunboats over the falls, which took
some weeks. The rebels all the time were
river. So soon as the dam was completed
Smiths force left to join Sherman's army
in Tennessee, and the balance of the army
resumed the march. We got to MorganZa
Bend without any more trouble and went
into camp. The whole army was on the
campaign about three months.
The failure was caused, no doubt, by
Banks putting a wagon train in advance
with a small guard, ana the bulk of his
army 10 miles in the rear. The rebels
got q good supply of ammunition and
stores of all kinds.
Soon after Banks. was relieved and
went home. The Thirteenth Corps would
not have met with defeat il it had been
supported by soldiers and not with a
wagon train-THOMAs NJ. DICKSON, Co.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

S. E. Chandler, Minneapolis, Mimi, a
member Of Jas. Bryant Post, 119, has a
suggestion to make to the comrades who
will attend the National Encampment at
Chicago. Let each one wear on the lapel
of his coat a badge with the name of the
State from which he enlisted, also the
State in which he now resides. If a COM
rade still lives in the State in which he
enlisted one name, of course, would be
enough, but, as in the case of Comrade
Chandler, who enlisted in New York and
now resides in Minnesota, the badge
would read New York''-'AIinnesota.
The comrades wives or daughters
could make them out of gold tinsel wire
by using 4 piece of blue cloth (same
color as coat. When the letters were
worked on TO the bit of cloth. then the
whole could be stitched on to the lapel of
the coat, or if preferable two could be
made and one sewed on each side
of the coat collar similar to the lettering
worn by railroad conductors. The letters,
Comrade Chandler thinks, should not be
less than three-eighths of an inch in
hight.
