I'd III. Cav, 1soth III. and Sd ARK. Cav

Editor Nataional Tribune: Please give
a short history of these regiments 1
served in two of them.-L. L. Koonce,
Greenville, Ill.
A short history of the Sd Ill. Cav.
was prepared for publication a few
weeks ago, and IL 1t has not yet ap-
peared, will shortly.
The 130th Ill. was organized at Camp
Butter, Oct. 25, 1862, and mustered out
Aug. Is, 1865. 1t was commanded by
Col. Nathaniel Niles, who resigned Dec
5, 1863; succeeded by Lieut-Col. James
H. Matheny,- who also resigned July 5,
1865. The command then fell upon
Lieut.. Col. John B. Reid. who retained
it until the regiment was mustered out.
1t belonged to A. j. Smiths Division,
Thirteenth Corps, and lost 20 killed
and 157 from disease, etc
The Sd Ark. Cav. was organized at
Little Rock in February, 1864, and
mustered out June 80, 1865 1t was
commanded all thru its service by Col
Abraham H. Ryan.-Editor National
Tribune.

common soldier. Every success which
the enemy had gained had been BY the
superiority of generalship on his side
and woeful deficiency on ours. They
could hear Sedgwick's guns laundering
above Fredericksburg, and felt il rec
reant for them to retreat and allow Lee
to throw his whole force upon one
corps and annihilate Ii. The First and
F1fth Corps, which had not been en-
gagged, or only slightly, felt that dis
appointment which comes to men who
have nerved themselves up to a great
deed and then are not permitted to
achieve 1t. They had all been looking
forward for months to a decisive vic
tory over the enemy which would pos
sibly end the war, and now that that
victory was within their very grasp why
not put forth their hands and seize it d?
There was one powerful influence
antmating the corps commanders in the
council which Gen. Couch does not men,
ton. This was their profound distrust
OF Hooker as commander in battle
He had shown such incapacity in actual
attack upon the enemy that none of
them could cherish any hopes of sue
cess with him at the head of the army.
He would not make the necessary dis
positions himself nor permit his subor-
dinates to do SO. 1t is possible that if
he had been absolutely incapacitated
Couch or Reynolds would, assuming
command, have directed an offensive
movement which would have at least
cleared the enemy from our front, and
put the army In good position for a
further movement of this character
They would certainly have done some
thing to relieve the pressure upon Sedg-
wick by giving Lee something else to
think about than the capture of the
Sixth Corps. Couch and the others
were, however, afraid to assume any
responsibility lest Hooker should re-
cover from his torpor, countermand
what they had done, and still further
in5ure the prospects of the army.
Col. Bates's Explanation.
Col. Samuel p Bates, of Pennsylya
MIA, who was Hooker's literary execu-
tor, gives this statement of the situa-
tion:
Gen. Hooker felt that to advance
upon these intrenchments would be the
Burnside fredericksburg problem over
again and even worse, for there the
open ground gave the utmost freedom
for manuvering troops. Besides,
treacherous stream was behind him
that in a few hours could be flooded
by the Spring rains, which were even
now threatening, and might carry away
his frail bridges. his only avenue to the
north bank. Should his communications
be interrupted. with his rations nearly
exhausted, the safety of his army might
seriously be compromised. In view Of
his instructions to cover Washington,
and of President Lincoln's emphasized
advice in his letter giving him COM
mand of the army, Beware of rash
ness-beware of rashness,' 1t was Gen.
Hooker's decided conviction that the
wisest course to pursue was to with
draw his army from its present position,
and to make entirely new combinations
for another campaign, rather than to
trust to the fortunes OF battle with the
odds SO strongly against him. He laid
matters before his corps commanders,
with a statement of his instructions, and
sought their counsel. There was some

Run emptied into the Rappahannock.
The right followed a similar line of
rugged elevations behind Hunting
Creek to its junction with the Rapidan.
The line was a rude triangle, with its
base on the two rivers and its apex
about three-quarters of a mile from
Charlottesville and near the Bullock
House.
Following the two sides of the angle
projecting toward the enemy, the dis
tance must have been about six miles,
with its base on the rivers about four
miles long. Into this narrow space Of
four or five square miles of tangled
forest Hooker had packed his entire
force of $4,000 or 10000 men, with their
artillery, caissons, ammunition wagons,
ambulances, pack mules and beef cat
tie Here was a concentration of men
equal to the EXTREMIST examples given
in the European books on tactics, where
as many as 10000 men are massed on
each mile of defense. Such concen-
tration would make a practically i'm
pregnable line, since the men would
stand all along 1t four deep. 1t was
what that famous 'theoric" II. w. Hal
1eck had accomplished in his absurd
''Siege of Corinth," where he had
massed men at the rate of 10000 to the
mile for his slow advance.
No matter what the books may say,
the mere statement of such a concen-
rration of men is in the highes, degree
absurd to any practical soldier. If the
men were at all efficient, one-half of
them would be all that was necessary
to hold linS against any front attack
and more fEan that number be a wilful
waste. When IL Is now known that Lee
had left in front of this mighty array
less than $4,000 battIe-worn, exhausted
troops Hooker's generalship excites de-
riSion. Common sense should have told
him that badly as his own troops had
suffered, the enemy's troops must have
suffered quite as severely, and the pros
pect of a continuance of the battle be
far from agreeable to them. 1t speaks
highly for Lees talents for command
and also shows clearly his low opinion
of Hooker, that he should have left
Jacksons badly shattered corps stand
ing up close to Hooker, feeling entirely
confident that lie latter would not take
the opportunity to rush out and destroy
ii. Lee reduced the men in front of
Hooker TO the lowest point, in order to
concentrate forces to crush ard capture
Sedgwick. Hooker had at least 1000
fresh men, who had taken little or no
part in the battle, who were expecting
every moment to be led forward and
eager to go.
Monday, May 4.
When daylight appeared on Monday.
May 4, the soldiers on both sides
scanned the ground in front of them
with eager eyes. The Confederates saw
the Yankees behind the strong line of
works, rapidly adding to the strength
of these by intrenchments and the cut
ting down of trees to make entangle-
ments. The Confederates themselves
We're employed in similar works to

beef cattle and wheeled vehicles.

L received a sharp message from Hook
er to order the recrossing of the army
as he had directed, and verything was
safely transferred to the north bank of
the Rappahannock.
'In looking for the causes of the loss
of Chancellorsville, the primary ones
were that Hooker expected Lee to fall
back without risking battle. Finding
himself mistaken, he assumed the de-
fensive, and was outgeneraled and be-

of men or material or the firing of a

Thus was ended eight eventful days in

Gen. Couch says:
"On the morning of May corps COM
manders were ordered to cut roads.
where 1t was necessary, leading from
their position to the United States Ford.
During the afternoon there was a very
heavy rainfall. In the meantime Hook
er had in person crossed the river, but
as he gave orders for the various corps
to march at such and such times during
the night, am not aware that any of his
corps Generals knew of his departure.
Near midnight got note from Meade
informing me that Gen. Hooker was on
the other side of the river. which had
risen over the bridges, and that COM
munication was cut off from him. I
Immediately rode over to Hooker's
command of the army, if it had any
commander. Gen. Hunt, of the artii-
lery, had brought the information as to
the condition of the bridges. and from
the reports there seemed to be no dam
ger of losing them entirely. After q
