The operation was completely successful and resulted in the capture of five officers, 40 men, 50 horses, as well as their arms, supplies, and equipment.

Highlights of her service included another expedition up the Tennessee in July and an engagement with some 200 Confederate soldiers whom she drove away from Osceola, Arkansas.

On 14 April, she assisted USS New Era and Platte Valley in driving Confederate cavalry and infantry from Fort Pillow, Tennessee, which Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest had captured two days before.

Late in May, she assisted USS Osage, after that river monitor had run aground at Helena Bar, Arkansas.

After the Confederacy collapsed, Silver Cloud operated briefly on the rivers helping to return conditions to normal.
