Azores. CSS Alabama, Captain Raphael Semmes, seized and burned the whaling ship Altamaha.

Arkansas. Expedition to Lawrenceville, St Charles, and Clarendon ended.

Kentucky. Confederate General Braxton Bragg’s Confederate army reached Glasgow, where he hoped to either attack Major-General Don Carlos Buell’s Union army as it passed to the west or to meet an attack in a prepared position. The majority of Bragg’s force enjoyed a two-day rest as this was the first halt since the army had left Chattanooga seventeen days earlier, covering over one hundred fifty miles in the interim. The route of the army had been across Walden’s Ridge and along the Sequatchie Valley to Pikeville, eastwards across the Cumberland Plateau, bypassing the Union army at Decherd. Now on Kentucky soil, Bragg issued a proclamation to rouse Kentuckians to the Confederate cause.

Kentucky. Union Major-General Don Carlos Buell’s army arrived at Bowling Green, thirty-five miles to the west of Glasgow. Buell had left Major-General George Henry Thomas to hold Nashville with three divisions while he brought five divisions north to oppose Bragg. With a division of reinforcements sent by Major-General Ulysses Simpson Grant, Buell now had 56,000 men available, twice as many as Bragg. Buell feared that a concentration of Bragg’s army with that of Major-General Edmund Kirby Smith would outnumber his own so he sent for Thomas to join him with two of the divisions from Nashville’ leaving only one division as the garrison of the Tennessee capital.

Kentucky. Confederate Brigadier-General James Ronald Chalmers’ infantry brigade was scouting at Cave City ten miles northwest of Glasgow at Cave City. He was informed by a marauding cavalry regiment from Major-General Edmund Kirby Smith’s army that they had cut the Louisville & Nashville Railroad north of Munfordville, isolating a small Union garrison on the southern bank of the Green River. Without notifying General Braxton Bragg he marched with the cavalry to capture the garrison.

Louisiana. Union expedition to Pass Manchac and Ponchatoula began.

Maryland. Skirmishes at South Mountain, Maryland Heights, Middletown, and Jefferson.

“The Lost Order”, Maryland. Confederate General Robert Edward Lee’s Special War Order No 191, which detailed his offensive strategy and troop assignments, was found by two Union soldiers (Corporal Barton W Mitchell and First Sergeant John M Bloss of the 27^th Indiana Infantry wrapped around three cigars at an abandoned Confederate campsite. This intelligence gave Union Major-General George Brinton McClellan a decisive advantage in the subsequent campaign. He learned that the Confederate army was dangerously divided and vulnerable to defeat in detail. He prepared to advance across South Mountain the following day to engage the divided Confederate forces. It was apparent from the Confederate positions that he should advance first on Boonsboro to defeat the nearest segment of Lee’s army. The Army of the Potomac was put into motion along the National Road from Washington, DC, towards Frederick.
Lee learned late in the evening about the loss of his vital Orders and moved to block the passes through South Mountain. He sent the divisions of Major-General Daniel Harvey Hill to block the Union advance along the National Road through South Mountain towards Boonsboro at Turner’s Gap and also at Fox’s Gap. Lee also sent part of the division of Major-General Lafayette McLaws to Crampton’s Gap, where a road from Buckeystown led to Harper’s Ferry. Major-General James Longstreet followed from Hagerstown with the rest of his Corps in support of Hill. Longstreet protested that he should not exhaust his troops in a march to South Mountain but that the army should concentrate instead at Sharpsburg, which was only twelve miles from Hagerstown and six from Boonsboro. Lee overruled Longstreet’s objections and his men departed for the South Mountain gaps before dawn.

Mississippi. Expedition to Coldwater and Hernando ended.

Iuka, Mississippi. Iuka was a small Union supply depot, established on the Memphis & Charleston Railroad about twenty limes west of the key Union garrison at Corinth. Confederate General Braxton Bragg had ordered Major-General Sterling Price to lead the 15,000 men of his Army of the West from Tupelo to attack Iuka. The aim was to block the movement of two divisions from Union Major-General William Starke Rosecrans’ Army of the Mississippi, which were marching from Corinth via Iuka to reinforce Brigadier-General James Negley’s lone division of the Army of the Ohio at Nashville. Negley had been left behind to guard the capital when Major-General George Thomas headed north with his other two divisions to reinforce Major-General Don Carlos Buell in Kentucky. Price’s cavalry skirmished with pickets posted by the small Union garrison stationed there and drove a small force out of Iuka.

Missouri. Skirmishes at Newtonia, Black River, and Strother Fork of Black River in Iron County.

Missouri. Skirmish at Bragg’s Farm near Whaley’s (or Wheley’s) Mill,

Tennessee. Incident at Tyree Springs.

Texas. Operations at Flour Bluffs began.

Virginia. Incidents at Bolivar Heights.

Virginia. Skirmish at Charleston. Confederate Major-General William Wing Loring forces the evacuation of the town by its Union garrison. Union strength was greatly depleted by the temporary transfer of Major-General Jacob Dolson Cox’s Kanawha Division to assist in the defence of Maryland and Loring was able to exploit the unexpected weakness. At the same time, Confederate Brigadier-General Albert Gallatin Jenkins led a small mounted force into western Virginia through Huttonsville. He captured Union supply depots at Buckhannon and Weston. The two Union brigades (Colonel Edward Siber and Colonel Samuel Augustus Gilbert) in the area withdrew to the mouth of the Kanawha.

Virginia. Major-General Darius Nash Couch’s division was formally transferred from IV Corps to join VI Corps (Potomac) as its 3^rd Division. This left only Brigadier-General John James Peck’s Division (formerly Brigadier-General Silas Casey’s) division of IV Corps still on the Yorktown peninsula. Peck’s force, still nominally part of Major-General Erasmus Darwin Keyes’ IV Corps, was later stationed at Suffolk and was gradually reduced by detachments until it was discontinued in August 1863.

Harper’s Ferry, Virginia. Confederate Major-General Thomas Jonathan Jackson completed the encirclement of Harper’s Ferry. Union Colonel Dixon S Miles, commander of the garrison at Harper’s Ferry, insisted on keeping most of the troops near the town instead of taking up commanding positions on the surrounding heights.
First of all, the most important defensive position on Maryland Heights was approached during the previous day by elements of Confederate Major-General Lafayette McLaws’ division but only brief skirmishing ensued. Major-General Richard Heron Anderson’s division arrived in reserve. Confederate Brigadier-General Joseph Brevard Kershaw began his serious attack on Maryland heights at about 6.30 am. He planned to push his own brigade directly against the Union breastworks while Brigadier-General William Barksdale’s brigade flanked the enemy right. One battery (Pulaski Light Artillery) supported them with four guns. Kershaw’s men charged into the abattis twice and were driven back with heavy losses. The inexperienced 126^th New York Infantry held their own although their commander, Colonel Ford, felt ill that morning and stayed back two miles behind the lines, leaving the command of the fighting to Colonel Eliakim Sherrill. Sherrill was wounded while rallying his men and had to be carried from the field, causing the green Union troops to grow panicky. As Barksdale’s brigade approached on their flank, the New Yorkers broke and fled rearward. Although Major Sylvester Hewitt ordered the remaining units to reform farther along the ridge, orders came at 3:30 pm from Colonel Ford to retreat. He did not send for support from the 900 men of the 115^th New York Infantry, who were waiting in reserve midway up the slope. Ford’s men destroyed their artillery pieces and crossed a pontoon bridge back to Harper’s Ferry. Ford later insisted he had the authority from Miles to order a withdrawal, but a court of inquiry concluded that he had “abandoned his position without sufficient cause,” and recommended his dismissal from the Army. Inside the town, the Union officers realised that they were surrounded and pleaded with Miles to attempt to recapture Maryland Heights but he refused, insisting that his forces on Bolivar Heights would defend the town from the west.
During the fighting on Maryland Heights, the other Confederate columns arrived. Confederate Brigadier-General John George Walker’s division reached Loudon Heights and completed the encirclement of Harper’s Ferry at 10 am. Jackson’s own group of three divisions appeared west of Bolivar Heights at 11 am. Jackson led his main body of Brigadier-General William Edwin Starke’s division to the north, Brigadier-General Alexander Robert Lawton’s in the centre, and Major-General Ambrose Powell Hill’s to the south. Jackson was astonished to find that these positions were not defended. Jackson’s and Miles’ forces to the west of town were roughly equal but Miles was dismissive of the threat from the artillery massing to his northeast and south.
Late that night, Miles sent Captain Charles Russell of the 1^st Maryland Cavalry with nine troopers to slip through the enemy lines and take a message to any general they could find, informing them that the besieged town could hold out only for 48 hours. Russell’s men escaped across South Mountain and reached the headquarters of the Army of the Potomac at Frederick. Major-General George Brinton was surprised and dismayed to receive the news and wrote a message to Miles that a relief force was on the way and to hold out. McClellan ordered Major-General William Buel Franklin and his VI Corps to march from Crampton’s Gap to relieve Miles. Although three couriers were sent with this information on different routes, none of them reached Harper’s Ferry in time to save the garrison.
