Berwick City to Port Hudson were
without a single repulse. At Port Hud-
son Banks found the strongest artificial
defense on the continent, a ditch eight
feet deep, 16 feet wide and seven miles
long, reaching from the Jackson Sally
port to HickeyS Landing. Military
judges admit that no other place as
strong ever surrendered inside of 40
days with SO little loss of life. AS to
the Sabine Pass disaster, which the
comrade lays at Gen. Bankss door,
history says he had no more to do with
it than the man in the moon. Two
small vessels under Commodore Bell

of the Sabine, and were surprised and

The 10th and 10th Ohio.

Editor National Tribune: Will you
please give short history of the 129th
and 179th Ohio?-Adam Moore, Bealls-
vile, o.
The 129th Ohio was organized at
Cleveland Aug. 10, 1862 to serve six
months, and was mustered out during
March, 1854. It was commanded by
Col. Howard D. John all thru its SER
vice, lost 25 from disease, ETC., and be-.
longed to the Ninth Corps.
The 179th Ohio was organized at
Camp Chase in September, 1864, for
one year, and was mustered out June
II, 1865. 1t was commanded by Col.
Harley II. Sage all thru its service, be-
longed to Rousseau's Division, Twen-
tieth Corps, and lost 80 from disease,

horses. and sat down to our own hard
tack and coffee, when heavy firing at
the front commenced, and the infantry

midnight, when we Were ordered to
fall back. We fell back to Pleasant
Hill, finding the Sixteenth Corps camp
ed there. A council Of war was held,
and it was decided to make a stand,
and after sharp fighting we won.
The next morning, Sunday, April 10,
another council was held, and retreat
was decided upon, as the object of the
expedition could not be accomplished
without the aid of y ,be gunboats, and
they could. not be gotten up the river
any further. The army Fetreated slow
Iy, making no stops till it reached
Alexandria Rapids. The river was still
falling, with less than three feet of
water in the rapids.y while the smallest
monitor drew six. Banks called a coun-
ell of war, and Gen. 4. J. Smith reported
that an officer in his command agreed
to put all the gunboatsT over the falls
in week if he could have 500 men
Banks replied, For Gods sake, give
him all the men he wants" Lieut.
Col. Bailey, of a Wisconsin regiment, a
former lumberman of Maine, took
charge of the work. Two wing dams
were built, each 200 feet long, Ieav-
ing a space in the middle of less than
100 feet, which raised the water six feet
on the falls. The boats all came over,
and went to the relief of the army, as
all know. While many of our com
manding Generals made great mistakes.

mac. because was there. I hate to
read in so-called history that the First
Corps marched around Gettysburg or
that It marched on the Emmitsburg
pike, for we did not. Gen. Howard told
me q year ago when he lectured here
that we marched as I have sketched,
and one OF his divisions followed on
the same road. AS I was with Gen.
Reynolds at the head Of the column
from Marsh Creek to the field I should
know something about where we
marched. did not expect you to pub
lish what I wrote before. The Second
Brigade fellows will never consent to
the fact that we marched in front that
day or that We are the Iron Brigade.

of them admit it.-B. H. Tripp, Canton,

ever got such a cursing in the whole
army as he got right there. He was
called all the dirty names q soldier
could use. and. as you know, they were
not a few; traitor and coward were
amongst the very mildest Of them. He
was dared to shoot, and dozens of rifle
locks were clicking around him, and
mine was of the number; for, altho
serving in his corps, believed him
guilty of treachery. In all these years
have not changed my opinion. Nc
Dowell was relieved from command,
and never again saw active service to
my knowledge He may have been in
nocent, but those who served under
him believed him guilty. My regiment,
11th Pa, Col. Dick Coulter, had more
than 5000 names on its muster rolls.
We marched home with less than 300
men.-Robert A. Shearer, Route 2,
