artillery, and their horses in the most wretched condition. All this has been accomplished by less than 7,000 cavalry, most of whom never before saw a great battle, and your entire loss in killed, wounded, and missing is only 346 officers and men. The records of this war furnish no more brilliant and decisive results.

VIII. To Major-General Pleasonton and the officers and soldier of the Provisional Cavalry Division, by whom this work was wrought, the general commanding tenders his thanks for their gallantry and efficiency in the campaign, and congratulates them on having acquired the true spirit of cavalry service.

He also return his thanks to the district commanders, to the officers and soldiers of our infantry and artillery, and the Enrolled Militia, and to Major General A. J. Smith and his command for the zeal and energy with which they performed all the duties devolving upon them in the campaign which brought to naught Price's formidable raid and defeated the schemes of the rebels and traitors in Missouri and elsewhere against the State and the Nation.

IX. A department order will announce the regiments entitled, and the names of the engagements they are to inscribe on their banners.
