Fox's Regimental Losses formed one of the three corps constituting the Army of the Tennessee. During the Atlanta campaign General Veatch was succeeded in the command of his division by General John W. Fuller. General Dodge's command was prominently engaged at Lay's Ferry, and in the bloody battle of Atlanta, July t>2, 1804. After the fall of Atlanta his two divisions were transferred, Sweeny's (or Corse's) to the Fifteenth, and Fuller's to the Seventeenth C orps. In the meantime the right wing of the Sixteenth Corps, as it was called, had l>een left in the Mississippi Valley ; it was composed of the First (Mower's) and Second (A. J. Smith's) Divisions, the former being the one which was transferred, in September, is«3, from the Fifteenth Corps. The greater part of Kimball's Division had been ordered into Arkansas, where it became incorporated in the Seventh Corps. In February, 18(54, A. J. Smith's and Veatch's Divisions accompanied Sherman on his Meridian expedition. In April, Mower's and A. J. Smith's Divisions moved with Banks'expedition up the Red River, fighting at the battle of Pleasant Hill and in the various minor engagements incidental to that campaign. These two divisions had been "loaned" to General Banks by Sherman, with an understanding that they should soon return ; but the disasters of Banks' campaign prolonged their stay until it was too late to rejoin the corps in time for the Atlanta campaign. Hence, the divided ojora tions of the Sixteenth Corps in 1804; the First and Third Divisions, under General A. J. Smith, fighting along the Mississippi, while the Second and Fourth Divisions, under Dodge, fought from Chattanooga to Atlanta. On November 7, 1864, orders were issued for the discontinuance of the organization ; but in December, 1864, General A. J. Smith and his two divisions turned up at the defense of Nashville, and participated in the victory over Hood's Army ; casualties, 750. In this battle Smith's two divisions were commanded by Generals McArthur and Kenner Garrard. His command was designated as a " Detachment, Army of the Tennessee," although it was still known as the Sixteenth Corps. It was reorganized Feb. 18, 1805, under its old designation and with Major-General A. J. Smith in command. As reorganized, it had three divisions which were commanded by Gen erals McArthur, Garrard and E. A. Carr. Proceeding to Mobile, it was engaged in the siege, and in the fighting at Spanish Fort and Fort Blakely, the latter being the last infantry engagement of the war. Fort Blakely was carried by assault, April 9, 1865, the day on which Lee surrendered at Appomattox. The corps organization was finally discontinued July 20, 1865. The men of the Sixteenth had for the most part seen plenty of service before the organi zation of the corps. They had fought well at luka, Corinth and Hatchie River, and many of the regiments had been engaged at Fort Donelson and Shiloh. SEVENTEENTH CORPS.
