The midnight battle of Wauhatchie was followed in the next month by the brilliant victory at Lookout Mountain, where the White star Division fought its famous battle above the clouds.

In April, 1864, the designation of the corps was changed to that of the Twentieth. Generals WilWhitaker's regiments, the Eighth Kentucky, being the first to plant its flag on the summit of the mountain. In April, 1864, the designation of the corps was changed to that of the Twentieth. Generals Williams and Geary still retained command of their divisions, and the men still wore their Twelfth Corps badge. This badge (the star) was adopted by the reorganized corps. The new organization was formed by the consolidation of the Eleventh and Twelfth corps, to which was added some minor commands. The action of the War Department in striking out the Twelfth Corps number was stupid, unnecessary, and unjust. If done out of consideration for the Eleventh, it was a mistake; for the men of that cor

ver surrender, in reply to the demand of the victors to give up his battery. Bates' History of the Pennsylvania Volunteers. At Gettysburg, young Cushing shouts to his general that he will give them one shot more, and falls dead as Pickett's men surge up to the muzzles of his pieces. Of the noted batteries mentioned in the accompanying list of casualties, Kern, Woodruff, Burnham, Hazzard, DeHart, Dimmick, Rorty, Hazlitt, Leppien, McGilvery, Geary (of Knap's), Simonson, Erickson and Whitaker (of Bigelow's)--were killed in action.

Some of the light batteries sustained a remarkable loss in horses, killed in battle. Bigelow lost, a
