Cat* tM» , U"- "• Tl»e letter in the Tribune of July 12 1883,'concerning tnej aj|alr al Yellow Baj'ou, represents the One ITnndred and Nineteenth Illinois infantry as be* tongitit? tout he Third division. Six­ teenth Army Corps, which is'tto: exact­ ly the case. I was a memoer of com­ pany A, One Hundred and Nineteenth Illinois Infantry, and was l« tha Aght described. We were In tha First bri­ gade. first division,*,Sixteenth Army Corps. We crossed the mentioned stream, not oa pontoons, hut by wading through. The Ninth Indiana battery men didgood work on that d»y--never turiiad their backs to the enemjr. Tha wag** was dismantled by shell. I recollect very well tha name of the wagoner waa Jackson Vanormer, who a m«mber of <st»mpnny B, One liBadred and Nineteenth Illinois--no* A. Cochrah, Iftllaa, 1C<^ IU. 10ft Cor|>« was driven from tha position they were holding on the road to tia blue Cross roads. The result of the battle ef i'lag^knt tlill was precisely like tli.ai o( Saalne Cross-roads, i e , we . repulsed the attack of the Johnnies and held our ground until some time in tha •Might, when wf all started back for Qrnnd Kcore, About G p. m. my regl- Meat passed by a brigade of the Six­ teenth Corps, who said that they had not llred a gun; neither had we, though wider fire all tlie time. TUK SIIRKVKPORT MOVIK, I do not believe that wa could have got to hhreVeport If we had tried. Tha river was tmusually low; the gunboats and transports. npon which we depend­ ed for onr snppiies, could not get up there; our force was and would grow lees every day, while the time that General Banks could retain the Six­ teen tit Corps had nearly expired. Had we got there. It is doubtful If we could have held our own long, or have saved, a gunboat, transport, or ourselves. And further, for a "totally defeated" army, those men of Dick Taylor's were inuelt like "ZmvIi" Taylor at Bnena Vista-- they would not "stay whipped.* Comrade Scott must surely remem­ ber that they# followed us to Graud Rcore, aud iitme nealr cutting oil onr retreat at Cane River.' Crossing Monet's Bluff, April 23(1, they were above and below us at Alexandria, while Col. Blftiiy. o# tlie Thirteenth Corps, waa building the famous dam (spelled differently by tlie Sixteenth Corps). At . MaiiMira, (not **ilansula,'H as Comrade Scott has It), the Nineteenth Corps had }nst as much flglitrug at .the Sixteenth Corps, and did it ns welt. I give the Sixteenth Corps credit for what they did. Tfiey dl«t noble service at Pleas­ ant Hlll-^wlry should they not? They were.a portion of General BanW»' srnij*; had teen,.there all night while the rest •f ew were fighting and inarching; were utKjjer tlie orders of Genernl Banks that day. the tame as we were, but that tlie credit of the repulse of Dick Tay'.or be. |es|l to the Sixteenth Corfis alone, 1 deny. General Banks relied upon each Corps to do its dutyv and each did it. General Smith equally relied upon each brigade and regimes!!under hlin to do Its duty; and Caoirade Scott knows that the failure of one brigade, nay, of one regiment, might hwra caused de­ feat to us all.
