Warren, (*27) John Sedgwick and P.H.Sheridan.

The artillery was commanded by General Henry J.Hunt.

This arm was in such abundance that the fourth of it could not be used to advantage in such a country as we were destined to pass through.

The surplus was much in the way, taking up as it did so much of the narrow and bad roads, and consuming so much of the forage and other stores brought up by the trains.
The 5th corps, General Warren commanding, was in advance on the right, and marched directly for Germania Ford, preceded by one division of cavalry, under General J.H.Wilson.

General Sedgwick followed Warren with the 6th corps.
