Cuba. CSS Alabama, Captain Raphael Semmes, captured the California steamer Ariel with 700 passengers on board, including 150 US Marines and Commander Louis C Sartori USN.

Prairie Grove, Arkansas, also known as Fayetteville or Illinois Creek. Confederate Major-General Thomas Carmichael Hindman sought to destroy Brigadier-General Francis Jay Herron’s and Brigadier-General James Gilpatrick Blunt’s divisions of the Army of the Frontier in detail before they joined forces. The Union troops were eight miles apart, with Blunt at Cane Hill and Herron between Fayetteville (twelve miles distant) and Illinois Creek. Having placed his larger force between the two Union commands, Hindman decided to deal with Herron first.
During the morning, Herron crossed Illinois Creek near Prairie Grove and deployed his footsore troops on the right of Hindman’s army. Herron opened an intense two-hour artillery barrage on the Confederate position, singling out individual Confederate guns and putting them out of action one at a time. By noon, the barrage had disabled most of the Confederate artillery and forced many Confederate troops to shelter on the reverse slopes. Seeing the powerful effect of his artillery, Herron ordered an advance on the hill rather than waiting for Blunt to arrive. His advance first encountered Confederate cavalry in the Borden wheat field at the base of a ridge overlooking the prairie. Herron thought the position of these advanced troopers indicated that Hindman was planning to attack and capture the Union artillery. Herron sent forward two regiments from his own 3^rd Division to assault a Confederate battery near the Borden house. When his men arrived on the hill they found themselves facing a fierce Confederate counterattack from three sides by Brigadier-General John Sappington Marmaduke and Brigadier-General Francis Asbury Shoup. Half of the attacking Union forces were wounded or killed within minutes, most of them near the Borden House. As the surviving Union forces fell back down the hill toward the safety of Union lines, the green Confederate soldiers pursued and attempt to break Herron’s lines. Herron’s artillery caused heavy losses to the Confederates and repulsed their attack. Herron feared the Confederates would make another rush at his artillery and ordered another pre-emptive charge. This time two regiments were selected from State Brigadier-General Daniel Huston’s 2^nd Division. Hand-to-hand fighting ensued again near the Borden House. The Union troops repulsed one counter-attack and the pursuing Confederates rushed the Union guns again but were repulsed by troops from Brigadier-General William Ward Orme’s’ brigade.
Meanwhile, Blunt heard the guns to his rear at Prairie Grove and learned that Hindman had passed by his flank and intercepted Herron eight miles away. At 11 am, Blunt finally ignored the demonstrations of the enemy cavalry and began a march to the sound of the guns. Blunt’s forces first moved about six miles north to Reah’s Mills around 4 pm to protect their trains. They found them secure and then turned southeast towards the sound of the guns. Not knowing the precise location of the fighting, the Union troops ignored roads and traversed through farm fields and over fences straight toward the sound of battle and made the last approach at the double-quick. This advance was probably initiated first by Colonel Thomas Ewing and the 11^th Kansas Infantry. Blunt did not order the manoeuvre but he quickly endorsed it.
Blunt’s division arrived on the field just as Hindman was ordering another attack on Herron’s forces. The combined Union forces were much stronger in artillery than the inexperienced Confederates. Blunt bombarded the Confederates for an hour and then attacked early in the afternoon, breaking up the Confederate flank until blocked by Colonel Joseph Orville Shelby’s cavalry. Blunt’s division struck the surprised Confederates in the flank with enfilade fire and drove them back onto the hill. The heaviest casualties of the battle were taken by the Confederate 10^th Missouri Infantry, which was caught in the open, at the flank of the Confederate forces. Blunt aligned his two brigades and sent them forward toward the Morton house on the same ridge to the west of the Borden house. Blunt’s forces fought somewhat sporadically until being recalled off the ridge. Brigadier-General Mosby Munroe Parsons’ Confederate brigade swept across the prairie fields toward Blunt’s artillery. Once again, the Union soldiers and artillery repulsed the attack and darkness put an end to the fighting. Hindman failed to get his green Arkansas troops to make any more attacks. The Confederates held out until nightfall and then withdrew undetected.
During the night, Blunt began to call up all of his reserves. Hindman had no reserves and was low on ammunition and food and he had no choice but to withdraw secretly under cover of darkness towards his base at Van Buren. The Confederate forces suffered from severe demoralisation and lost many conscript soldiers to desertion. Union casualties were reported as 1,251 men (333 in Blunt’s force and 918 in Herron’s) and Confederate losses as 1,317 men, including many wounded men who died of exposure during the freezing night.

Mississippi. The anomalous command situation of the Confederate forces in Mississippi was resolved by organising the new Army of Mississippi under the Department commander, Lieutenant-General John Clifford Pemberton.  When he assumed command of the Army of Mississippi, Pemberton, organised his available forces into two new Corps. I Corps (Mississippi) was established to consist of the former “Army of West Tennessee” of Major-General Earl Van Dorn, and II Corps (Mississippi) was established to comprise the forces of the unofficial “Army of the West” of Major-General Sterling Price. Major-General Mansfield Lovell, who had previously commanded half of the new army, was relieved of command in order for him to face an enquiry into unsubstantiated criticism about his performance during the defence of New Orleans.

Hartsville, Tennessee. Hartsville was a crossing point on the Cumberland River about 40 miles upstream from Nashville, and north of Murfreesboro. The Union 39^th Brigade of XIV Corps was guarding the crossing to prevent Confederate cavalry from raiding. The brigade was made up of the 106^th Ohio Infantry, 108^th Ohio Infantry, 104^th Illinois Infantry, and 2^nd Indiana Cavalry, commanded by Colonel Absalom B Moore. Under the cover of darkness, Confederate Colonel John Hunt Morgan crossed the river with two cavalry brigades (one under Colonel Roger Weightman Hanson) numbering about 1,400 men, but he was outnumbered by about 1,000 men by the Union brigade. Another larger Union force was encamped nine miles away at Castalian Springs, close enough to hear the guns but too distant to support the garrison immediately. Moore stated in his after-action report that Morgan’s advance guard wore Union blue uniforms which got them through the picket lines undetected. Others stated that they wore civilian clothes and posed as refugees.
Morgan’s men approached the Union camp and the pickets sounded the alarm, holding up the Confederates until the brigade could form a battle line. The Confederate attack commenced at 6.45 am with a simultaneous artillery bombardment and infantry advance, while cavalry struck the Union flanks and rear. It continued until about 8.30 am when one of Moore’s units broke and ran, causing widespread confusion and forcing the Union forces to fall back. By 8.30 am, the Confederates had surrounded most of the Union force and convinced Moore to surrender. By noon Morgan was back across the Cumberland.
Union casualties were reported as 58 (or otherwise 300) plus 1,762 or 1,844 prisoners and Confederate as 125 or 149. (CWSAC Formative Battle – Confederate Victory)

Padre Island, Texas. Two boats from USS Sachem got underway in the morning to intercept an armed Confederate schooner that was sounding the channel at Corpus Christi Pass. They caught sight of their quarry after some 28 miles and gave chase. After pursuing the schooner, Queen of the Bay, for about 8 miles, the boats forced Captain H Willke CSN to run the Queen of the Bay aground on Padre Island. The Confederates abandoned their ship and opened fire on the Union boats from the shore, killing three men and wounding three others including the commander of the boat party, Acting Ensign Alfred H Reynolds. The remaining Union sailors and marines landed on nearby Mustang Island, abandoned their boats, and retreated overland 30 miles to rejoin USS Sachem at Aransas Bay.
