There were no reports in the Federal army of this particular affair, but probably the losses were not very unequal.
The losses of the two armies for the whole campaign are summarized as follows.
No report was made of casualties in the Confederate cavalry, which were probably about 100.
Thirty guns and over 20,000 small-arms were collected from the field.
My own share in this campaign was limited to keeping up the supply of the ammunition consumed.
I had the satisfaction of seeing the organization and working of my department stand well the test of a severe campaign, and a considerable separation from its depots.
Both in the artillery and infantry, the fighting was incessant and severe, but the supply of ammunition never failed, and, at the close of the campaign, without a day's delay, the army was prepared to undertake an even more distant and desperate adventure.
When Lee moved from Gordonsville to cross the Rapidan, I was ordered to follow with my reserve ordnance train from near Richmond.
I followed as rapidly as possible, but could not overtake the army until after Chantilly.
Then I replenished all expenditures, so that the troops advanced into Maryland with everything full.
Thereafter I kept myself and train in close proximity to Lee's headquarters in all the movements, and, with my wagons running between our successive positions and Staunton, Va., we were able to meet all demands.
