Brigadier-General MERRITT,

Commanding First Division:

GENERAL: General Custer's division has been ordered in, to go back on the road, so you will take care of the left. This afternoon a brigade of the Third Division will be at Mount Crawford, and the other brigades, Third Division, will remain at Bridgewater. General Wilson has been ordered to General Sherman, and I shall send Custer to the Third Division. General Sheridan tells me you have a regiment at Swift Run Gap, and he wants a strong party sent over the mountain to get what information they can. He thinks they may go as far as Stanardsville. I send some men for your division.

Yours, &c.,

A. T. A. TORBERT,

Brevet Major-General and Chief of Cavalry.

Captain DANA,

Assistant Adjutant-General, First Division Cavalry:

I have the honor to report that my command destroyed 9 large mills and about 100 barns yesterday - the mills were filled with flour and wheat; the barns were filled with threshed wheat and hay. I also destroyed a large number of stacks of hay and grain found standing in the fields. I brought away about 150 head of beef-cattle, or perhaps nearly 200 head; also about 500 head of sheep. No dwelling houses were destroyed or interfered with.

Very respectfully,

G. A. CUSTER,

Brigadier-General, Commanding Second Division.
