The National tribune., 1905-12-07

quoted before the Loyal Legion at q
banquet given, I believe, in Portland.
Ore, recently, as saying that the Mo-
bile campaign gave the Federals more
credit than any other campaign during
the war. 1 was struck with that asser-
ton, and began to look 1t up, for my
own satisfaction, and am satisfied that
his judgment is good; that no other
campaign covers SO much that Is really
that which is known as the science of
war, both on land and sea; that no
other campaign embraces such q df-
verSity of arms; that no other embraces
so many different classes Of the de-
tenders of the Union, coming as these
did from almost every State and Ter
ritory of the Union, both East and West,
as we'll as loyal organizations from Lou
isiana, Florida, and at least Tennessee
of the border States; where the army
and the navy We'd with each other as
here; where Cat least west of the Allie
ghanies) the colored troops fought
alongside of their comrades of the
North, and where they did as well. as
is shown by the following casualties:
Thirteenth Corps, 1880, lost 80 killed
and 531 wounded; Sixteenth Corps, 49,
600, lost sc killed and 448 wounded.
Gen. Hawkins's Division (Colored
Troops), $500, lost As killed and 323
wounded. There were nine officers killed
Of the latter. while II only were killed
OF all other organizations.
SO that the reader may readily know
just what troops constituted each divi-
sion and grand division of this army, l
embrace a complete organization of the
Union forces. commanded by Maj. Gen
