[And see p. 370.] Walker and Churchill with most of the cavalry retreated six miles to the nearest water, while Polignac with one brigade of cavalry remained about two miles from the field to cover the retreat. After the close of the action, Kirby Smith joined Taylor, having hurried to the front as soon as he heard of the engagement at Sabine Cross-roads. Kirby Smith now determined to move against Steele in Arkansas; accordingly, during the 10th and 11th, Taylor withdrew his infantry to Mansfield, leaving the cavalry under Green to watch and, if possible, harass the enemy. At first Banks was for resuming the advance, but during the night he decided to continue the retreat to Grand Ecore. General A. J. Smith strongly opposed this. General Franklin proposed to march to Blair's Landing to await the return of the fleet. This was probably sound advice, though it would have separated the army temporarily from its train and from the troops that had already gone on to Grand Ecore.-

antry, under Churchill, a few days at Shreveport. Steele's hesitation and the reports of the advance of Banks's cavalry caused me, on the 4th of April, to move Churchill to Keachie, a point twenty miles in rear of Mansfield, where the road divides to go to Marshall and Shreveport. He was directed to report to General Taylor. I now visited and conferred with General Taylor. He believed that Banks could not yet advance his infantry across the barren country lying between Natchitoches and Mansfield. I returned to Shreveport and wrote General Taylor not to risk a general engagement, but to select a position in which to give battle should Banks advance, and by a reconnoissance in force to compel the enemy to display his infantry, and to notify me as soon as he had done so and I would join him in the front. The reconnoissance was converted into a decisive engagement near Mansfield, on the 8th of April, with the advance of the enemy (a portion of the Thirteenth Corps and his cavalry)

otomac airs, which had earned us the name of Kid gloves and paper collars, The Twelfth Corps of the Army of the Potomac was named Kid gloves and paper collars by the Fourteenth Corps of the Western Army owing to the careful discipline of the Twelfth Corps. It was originally the Fifth Corps (March, 1862), then it became the Second Corps, Army of Virginia (June, 1862), then the Twelfth Corps (September, 1862). The basis of it was Banks's old division, and Banks was its first commander. Mansfield commanded the corps at Antietam, where lie was killed and was succeeded by Slocum. The corps had as subordinate commanders such men as A. S. Williams, Charles S. Hamilton, John W. Geary, George H. Gordon, Ruger, Andrews, William Hawley, and the discipline they imparted continued to the end and affected other troops.--D. O. began to wear away as we better under-stood the important work to be done by the great army organizing around us, and of which we were to form a considerable part. A m
