Shortly after daylight on the 30th the recrossing had been effected, and by ten o'clock my advance division was well over to the left of our army in front of Petersburg ; but as the mine attack had failed, it was not necessary to carry out the part assigned to the cavalry.
The movement to the north side of the James for the accomplishment of our part of the plan connected with the mine explosion was well executed, and every point made ; but it was attended with such anxiety and sleeplessness as to prostrate almost every officer and man in the command.
On the 1st of August I was relieved from the personal command of the cavalry corps, and ordered to the valley of the Shenandoah. TORBERT's and WILSON's divisions were directed to join me there.
It will be seen by the foregoing narrative that the idea advanced by me at the commence- ment of the campaign, viz., "that our cavalry ought to fight the enemy's cavalry, and our in- fantry the enemy's infantry," was carried into effect immediately after the battle of the Wil- derness.
The result was constant success and the almost total annihilation of the rebel cavalry. We marched when and where we pleased ; were always the attacking party, and always successful.
During the period herein embraced, I am led to believe, on information derived from the most reliable sources, that the enemy's cavalry was superior to ours in numbers; but the esprit of our men increased every day, while that of the enemy diminished.
In these marches, and in others afterward performed in connection with the Valley and Appomattox campaigns, we were obliged to live to a great extent on the country. Forage had to be thus obtained for our horses, and provisions for our men, consequently many hard- ships were necessarily brought on the people, but no outrages were tolerated.
I do not believe war to be simply that lines should engage each other in battle, as that is but the duello part-a part which would be kept up so long as those who live at home in peace and plenty could find the best youth of the country to enlist in their cause (I say the best, for the bravest are always the best), and therefore do not regret the system of living on the eneny's country. These men and women did not care how many were killed or maimed. so long as war did not come to their doors ; but as soon as it did come in the shape of loss of property, they earnestly prayed for its termination.
As war is punishment, and death the maximum punishment, if we can, by reducing its advocates to poverty, end it quicker, we are on the side of humanity.
In the foregoing brief sketch I have been unable to give in detail the operations of the cavalry, and will have to trust to the subordinate reports to make up the deficiency. In con- sequence of our constant activity, we were obliged to turn over our wounded and prisoners whenever and wherever opportunity offered, and oftentimes without receipts ; I am also, therefore, unable to furnish an accurate list of either my casualties, or prisoners captured from the enemy. I think my casualties, from May 5th to August 1st, will number between 5,000 and 6,000 men ; and the captures in prisoners will exceed 2,000.
We sent to the War Department from the 5th of May, 1864, to the 9th of April, 1865, the day on which the Army of Northern Virginia surrendered, 205 battle-flags, captured in open field fighting ; it is nearly as many as all the armies of the United States, combined, sent there during the rebellion. The number of field-pieces captured in the same period was between 160 and 170 : all in open field fighting.

REPORT OF MAJOR-GENERAL SHERIDAN.
These captures of flags, colors, and artillery were made during the campaign, the opera- tions of which I have just related ; the Shenandoah campaign, the march from Winchester tc Petersburg, and the Appomattox campaign. .
To the Sixth and Nineteenth Corps, General CROOK's command, which, with MERRITT's and CUSTER's divisions of cavalry, composed the Army of the Shenandoah, and to the Fifth and Sixth Corps, which operated with me on the Appomattox campaign, a proportionate share of these captures belong.
It will be seen by this report that we led the advance of the army to the Wilderness ; that on the Richmond Raid we marked out its line of march to the North Anna, where we found it on our return ; that we again led its advance to Hanovertown, and thence to Cold Harbor ; that we removed the enemy's cavalry from the south side of the Chickahominy by the Trevil- lian Raid, and thereby materially assisted the army in its successful march to the James River and Petersburg, where it remained until we made the campaign in the Valley ; marched back to Petersburg, and again took its advance and led it to victory.
In all the operations the percentage of cavalry casualties was as great as that of the in- fantry, and the question which had existed, "Who ever saw a dead cavalryman ?" was set at rest.
To Generals D. McM. GREGG, TORBERT, WILSON, MERRITT, CUSTER, DEVIN, J. IRVIN GREGG, MCINTOSH, CHAPMAN, DAVIES, and GIBBS, to the gallant officers and men of their commands, and to the officers of my staff, I return my sincere thanks.
I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
P. H. SHERIDAN, Major-General United States Army.
