moving, even in winter, without tents or wagons, operating in a coun-
try poorly supplied with forage, combating for the most part very
superior numbers, from the feeble beginnings of one year ago, when
its operations were mostly within the infantry lines, it has become
master of the field, and hesitates not to attack the enemy wherever
it finds him. This great change, due chiefly to the joint efforts of
both officers and men, has been greatly promoted by giving them
arms in which they had confidence, and by the adoption of the de-
termined use of the saber.
To Maj. Gen. D. S. Stanley is justly due great credit for his agency
in bringing about these results, and giving firmness and vigor to
the discipline of the cavalry.
It requires both nature and experience to make cavalry officers,
and by judicious selections and promotions this arm may become
still more useful and distinguished.
