The remnants of the 130th were reorganized at Mobile, Alabama into a battalion of six companies under the command of Lt. Col. John B. Reid.  They were now assigned to the 1st Brigade, 3rd Division, 13th Army Corps (New), Military Division West Mississippi.

After seeing the men of the 77th Illinois and others begin to muster out, William Fleming wrote:

it seem rather discouraging to the boys of the 130th as they had been in servis longer from elistment than either of the other two and yet had to remain.   I was taken sick about that time but remined with the Reg until the 21st day of July.
