WINCHESTER, VA., April 5, 1865

(Received 6 p.m.) ;

Major General H. W. HALLECK,

Chief of Staff:

I have taken all the train of the Second Division, Nineteenth Corps, except fifty-nine wagons without animals, the horses having been taken by General Sheridan to mount cavalry. There are twenty-seven ambulances left without animals. Twenty-five more can be supplied by the quartermaster, but without animals. I have also taken eighty wagons of the cavalry train left in Pleasant Valley, and still require about twenty-five to fit out my command with eight days' rations. My command could not, of course, be in any condition to move without transportation. Some 12,000 or 14,000 troops have been supplied. The basis is the transportation order of the War Department, the allowance of that order being cut down.

WINF'D S. HANCOCK.
