the cavalry and the Thirteenth and Nine
tenth Corps, retreated, and the Sixteenth
Corps came up Pleasant Hill, where there
was a clearing and a small village.
April Q the troops were weary, thirsty,
tired and hungry. The lack of water
was a principal reason for determining
the subsequent movements of the army.
The morning was spent in skirmishing
and placing the troops in the most advan-
tageous positions.
At 10 o ci0ti, line of battle was formed
and there was sharp picket firing and
skirmishinG until i p. M, when the enemy
advanced to the attack out of the woods

brought them success at first, but after

commander Of one Of the Provisional
Corps created by Gen. Mcclellan on the
Peninsula In 1862, and was thought to
be one of the favorite and rising Cen
erals, his opportunities being almost I'M
excelled.
He was relieved from duty in the Army
of the Potomac January, 1868, when
Hooker relieved Burnside, and was as
signed to the Department Of the Gulf, in
July of that year. He was In command
of the Sabine Pass expedition in Sep
tember SO, which was almost a disgrace
full failure. In this campaign and his last
one he was censured for the incautious
manner of conducting the advance, there
by precipitating and enlarging the disas-
ter at Sabine Crossroads April 8. To him
was confded the arrangement and detail
of the advance; its repulse was the first
of the series of misfortunes that befell
the expedition. Perhaps the whole army
would have been routed If we had gone
farther, but the men in the ranks did not
think so, and it is wholly conjecture how
the campaign would have ended had it
not been for this our only repulse.
Gen. A L. Lee, "of Kansas" as he
was called. was relieved from command
after Pleasant Hill. He was brave
man and good officer but not from West
Point. He was made the scapcgOat for
the blunders and failures Of others not
more able.

erals who earned marked distinction in
the campaign, and none greater than the

Corps. Gen. r. L. c. Ransom. who was

writes that he made four round trips from
Chattanooga to Stevenson, Ala; three
times with six mules and once with eight
mules He narrowly escaped capture at
the foot of the mountain. AT the time 81
teams composed the train. For some I'M
explainable reason, Comrade SOuther-

they started forward, and after driving
about two hours met some of the members
of the train, who had escaped capture
when the train was attacked and the
wagons destroyed.

perience Of Thomas Mckeys, who was a
prisoner In Andersonville, and who on ac-
count of some breach of discipline was

THE CAMPAIGN SUMMARIZED.

To summarize: Gen. Banks says that
the command marched by land nearly 400
miles. Total loss sustained, 1880 men
2S9 killed, ! ,541 wounded, 2, $50 missing,
mostly prisoners; 1856 wagons, 10 pieces
OF artillery, and 800 mules. The army
captured up to the battle of Sabine Cross
roads % pieces of artillery and 1900
prisoners. The loss TO the enemy was
estimated to have been as great as our
own.
The causes that led TO the failure of
the expedition, as given by Gen. Banks,
were 1.-The difficulties of navigation, the
imperfect concentration of troops; the in
cautious march of April 8, and the linn
tied time allotted to the expedition" Gen.
Franklin gave as his opinion "the great
cause of failure, because the point of
junction of Bankss and Steele's forces
was 200 miles within the enemy's coun-
try, and consequently subject to be beaten
in detail"
The campaign has been called Banks's
expedition and Banks's army, and upon
Gen. Banks has been laid most of the
blame and odium for its failure as an
expedition. The majority OF the Commit
tee on the Conduct of the War reported
TO that effect, and the verdict has seemed
to have been accepted as final.
1t seems, however, that justice would
indicate that Banks was not the only one
who Numbered in that campaign. Gen.
Franklin figured prominently in it as
commander of the Nineteenth Corps and
of the advance. Born in Pennsylvania,
graduate of West Point in '43, he saw
active service ON the staff of Gems. Wool
and Taylor In the Mexican War. BE

had been held, in which Smith advised
pursuit and Franklin was for retreat Qack
of water seeming to be the determining
factor, Gen. Banks ordered a retreat to
Grand Ecore.
The rank and file felt Inundated, and
grunbled End growled: Gen. Banks was
freely criticised, but-we moved to Grand
Ecore.
Gen. Lee was relieved from command
of the cavalry and was succeeded by Gen.
Richard Arnold, West Pointer and for
mer commander of artillery.
Gen. Franklin was slightly wounded on
the Sth. He procured leave of absence
at Alexandria and commanded in the field
no more.
The army arrived at Grand Ecore on
April 10 and left for Alexandria on the
22d. With the exception of a lively fight
at the crossing of Cane River, in which
some of the cavalry distinguished them
selves, there was little interruption in
the march, and the army reached Alexan-
dria on the 26th.
The feet, under command of Admiral
Porter, arrived on the 2Sth, and from
that date until May ID skirmishing was
of almost constant occurrence. The army
was surrounded by the rebels, and all
communication was for a time entirely
stopped.
Alexandria and the mouth of the Red
River, and letters that we had written
and supposed were in the hands of our
friends we found on the bank Of the river
on our downward march.
Cavalry pickets were kept out long dis
tances on the county roads. Rations ran
short; quarter of the usual amount was
reinforced by issues of Sanitary Commits
sion supplies in the shape of pickles, des-
located potatoes, dried vegetable soup, etc.
The country around Alexandria was
rich and populous, soil extremely fertile,
with a profusion of vegetation and trop-
zeal growth. Lack of good water was
one of the greatest drawbacks.
| During this time Gen. then Lieut. Coll
Bailey, of the 4th Wis. Cav, was build
ing the famous Red River dam, having
all the men that he could use to help
him. On May 13 the army started on
the last move of the campaign, and with
the exception of the engagement, prin-
cipally artillery, at Mansura, on May 10,
and at Yellow Bayou, on the 18th, no
serious opposition was met. The army
crossed the Atchafalaya River on the 10Th
on bridge made of steamboats, anchored
in the river, side by side, bow up stream,
with gang-plangs making the connection
between boats. About 80 boats We're thus
used.
Gen. Candy relieved Gen. Banks at the
mouth of Red River on May 10, and the
final doings of the famous expedition up
Red River and down again were com,
plcted.
