Gen. Frederick Solomon, who had

at Columbus KY, reaching there two
days later. 1t was at once sent to
Union City, where it was expected IL

fight, but returned to Columbus the
next day, the enemy having taken his
flight. Early in January, 1868, II went
to Helena, Ark, where 1t became
part of the Thirteenth army corps.

this point it went on transports to
