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

Kentucky. Siege of Woodsonville began.

Kentucky. Skirmish at Henderson.

Munfordville, Kentucky, also known as Green River. Siege of Munfordville began. Munfordville was a station on the Louisville & Nashville Railroad where an important railroad bridge crossed the Green River. Union Colonel John Thomas Wilder commanded the Union garrison of three regiments, which was protected by extensive fortifications. Confederate Brigadier-General James Ronald Chalmers arrived with his division from Cave City and demanded the surrender. The Union garrison repulsed Chalmers’ attacks which cost 288 Confederate losses for the loss of 72 union casualties. While Chalmers returned to Cave City to regroup, Union reinforcements were sent to strengthen the defences.

Maryland. Skirmish at Petersville.

Maryland., Skirmish at Slaughter’s Gap.

Maryland. During the morning, Confederate Major-General Lafayette McLaws with ten brigades from his own and Major-General Richard Heron Anderson’s divisions completed the deployment of artillery facing Harper’s Ferry on Maryland Heights. McLaws placed three brigades to his north to protect him from any advance from the direction of Crampton’s Gap. He was reassured by Confederate Major-General James Ewell Brown Stuart, whose cavalry had ridden from Turner’s Gap, that only one Union brigade was at Crampton’s Gap. It was not until later when he rode to inspect the northern flank that McLaws found the cavalry in unexpected retreat from overwhelming opposition coming from Crampton’s Gap.

Battles of South Mountain, Maryland. South Mountain is the name given to the continuation of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Maryland. This significant natural obstacle separates the Hagerstown Valley and Cumberland Valley from the eastern part of Maryland. Fighting occurred at the Gaps through South Mountain and the overall battle is designated South Mountain, with names also assigned to the battles for each of the individual gaps (Crampton’s Gap, Fox’s Gap, etc).

South Mountain, Maryland, also known as Boonsboro Gap, or Turner’s Gap. After Confederate General Robert Edward Lee divided his army to invest Harper’s Ferry, the Union Army of the Potomac under Major-General George Brinton McClellan advanced from Frederick towards South Mountain. The Union Left Wing (VI Corps and IV Corps) was sent towards Crampton’s Gap in the south. The Union Right Wing (I Corps and IX Corps) was sent towards Turner’s Gap and Fox’s Gap further north. The Centre Wing (II Corps and XII Corps) was held in reserve, along with Major-General Fitz John Porter’s V Corps, which was on its way but had not yet reached the Catoctin range. The 70,000 Union soldiers marched along and on either side of the National Road, down the western slope of the Catoctin range where they had camped overnight, and a further seven miles across the valley towards South Mountain.
Union Brigadier-General Alfred Pleasanton’s cavalry discovered Confederate Major-General Daniel Harvey Hill’s division in a position to defend the northern passes of South Mountain. Hill stretched his 5,000 men over a front more than two miles long, to defend both Turner’s Gap and Fox’s Gap. The commander of the Union Right Wing, Major-General Ambrose Everett Burnside, sent Major-General Joseph Hooker’s I Corps to the right towards Turner’s Gap. The Union Iron Brigade (1/1/I) led the attack against Colonel Alfred Holt Colquitt’s brigade astride the National Road, driving it back up the mountain, but it refused to yield the pass. Hooker also positioned three divisions opposite two peaks located one mile north of the gap. Brigadier-General Robert Emmett Rodes’ brigade of Hill’s division was forced to withdraw because of its isolated position.
Confederate Major-General James Longstreet’s men began to arrive from Hagerstown at about 3 pm to reinforce Hill Brigadier-General David Rumph Jones’ division and Brigadier-General Nathan George Evans’ brigade stopped the retreat. Darkness and the difficult terrain prevented the complete collapse of Lee’s line and at nightfall, the Confederates still blocked Turner’s gap. (CWSAC Major Battle Union Victory)

South Mountain, Maryland, also known as Fox’s Gap, Maryland. Just to the south of Turner’s Gap, other elements of Confederate Major-General Daniel Harvey Hill’s division (most notably Brigadier-General Thomas Fenwick Drayton’s and Brigadier-General Samuel Garland’s brigades) defended Fox’s Gap against the Union IX Corps (Major-General Jesse Lee Reno).
At 9 am, an attack by Union Major-General Jacob Dolson Cox’s Kanawha Division (attached temporarily to IX Corps as its fourth division) secured much of the land south of the gap. Cox pushed on through Garland’s Confederates positioned behind a stone wall at the gap’s crest, but he failed to exploit his gains as his men were exhausted from ascending the steep pass. Cox’s pause allowed Confederate reinforcements to deploy in the gap around the Daniel Wise farm.
Confederate Brigadier-General John Bell Hood (who had been under arrest following a dispute with a fellow commander) was restored to field command and he led his division south into the battle at Fox’s Gap. Reno finally sent forward the rest of IX Corps but the timely arrival of Hood’s reinforcements meant that they failed to dislodge the defenders. Garland was killed early in the fighting at Fox’s Gap and Reno was killed near sundown as he inspected his lines.

South Mountain, Maryland, also known as Crampton’s Gap, Maryland. The Left Wing of the Army of the Potomac under Major-General William Buell Franklin, consisting of 18,000 men in his own VI Corps and Major-General Darius Nash Couch’s division now attached from IV Corps, was instructed to move at daybreak to capture Crampton’s Gap near Burkittsville. The aim was to cut off Confederate Major-General Lafayette McLaws’ division and then relieve the siege of Harper’s Ferry. They set off early to cover the twelve miles from Buckeystown.
Confederate cavalry and three brigades of McLaws’ division defended Brownsville Pass and Crampton’s Gap. McLaws was unaware of the approach of these 12,000 Union men and at first, had only 500 men under Colonel William A Parham thinly deployed at the eastern base of Crampton’s Gap behind a stone wall extending for three-quarters of a mile. Franklin spent three hours deploying his forces with Major-General Henry Warner Slocum’s division on the right and Major-General William Farrar Smith’s division on the left. They advanced and easily seized the gap, capturing 400 prisoners, most of whom were arriving as reinforcements from Brigadier-General Thomas Howell Cobb’s brigade.
McLaws brought three more brigades down from Maryland Heights to strengthen the line. By nightfall, the Confederates has been pushed out of the gap and into Pleasant Valley but Franklin delayed making a pursuit and permitted their escape.
By dusk, with Crampton’s Gap lost and his positions at Fox’s and Turner’s Gaps now precarious, Confederate General Robert Edward Lee ordered his supply trains to escape and his outnumbered forces withdrew from South Mountain overnight. Union Major-General George Brinton McClellan was in a position to destroy Lee’s army before it could concentrate.
Union casualties from 28,000 engaged along South Mountain were 2,325 (443 killed, 1,807 wounded, and 75 missing). The Confederates lost 2,685 (325 killed, 1560 wounded, and 800 missing) out of 18,000.

Mississippi. Skirmish at Burnesville.

Mississippi. Incident at Iuka. Confederate Major-General Sterling Price marched twenty miles from Corinth to occupy Iuka with about 14,000 men of his Army of the West. General Braxton Bragg was distant in Kentucky but he had given Price the discretion, if necessary, to request assistance from Major-General Earl Van Dorn, commanding the District of the Mississippi and the Army of West Tennessee at Holly Springs. Van Dorn, who was senior to Price, proposed instead that Price should combine his forces with Van Dorn’s in order to attack the extended Union lines in western Tennessee. President Jefferson Finis Davis resolved the matter in favour of Price’s plan.
The Union garrison commander at Iuka, Colonel Robert C Murphy set fire to the supplies of the depot and marched his 2,000-man brigade towards Corinth. The Confederates doused the flames, acquiring a large quantity of valuable supplies. Murphy was arrested and subsequently court-martialled.
Price’s army settled in Iuka and awaited the arrival of Van Dorn’s Army of approximately 7,000 men from Holly Springs, seven miles from Corinth. With Iuka occupied and Price’s plan now confirmed by the President, the two generals agreed to unite and attack the Union lines of communication in western Tennessee, in order to prevent Major-General Ulysses Simpson Grant sending any more reinforcements to Major-General Don Carlos Buell in Kentucky.

Tennessee. Incident at Somersville.

Texas. Operation at Flour Bluffs ended.

Virginia. Incidents at Leesburg, Hawkinsville, Hazel River, and Bolivar Heights.

Davis’ Breakout, Harper’s Ferry, Virginia. While battles raged in the passes of South Mountain, Confederate Major-General Thomas Jonathan Jackson positioned his artillery around Harper’s Ferry. This included the hauling of four Parrott rifles to the summit of Maryland Heights, a task that required 200 men wrestling the ropes of each gun. Although Jackson wanted all of his guns to open fire simultaneously, Brigadier-General John George Walker on Loudoun Heights grew impatient and began an ineffectual bombardment with five guns shortly after 1 pm. Jackson ordered Major-General Ambrose Powell to move down the west bank of the Shenandoah in preparation for a flank attack on the Union left the next morning.
During the night, the Union commanders realised they had less than 24 hours left to escape capture but they made no attempt to recapture Maryland Heights. Only a single Confederate regiment now occupied the crest of Maryland Heights, after Major-General Lafayette McLaws had withdrawn the remainder of his division to oppose the Union assault at Crampton’s Gap. Union Colonel Benjamin Franklin Davis and Lieutenant-Colonel H Davis proposed to garrison commander Colonel Dixon S Miles that the 12^th Illinois Cavalry, the Loudoun Rangers and some smaller mounted units, should attempt to break out. Cavalry forces were useless in the defence of the town. Miles dismissed the idea as “wild and impractical,” but Davis was adamant and Miles relented when he saw that he intended to break out with or without permission. Davis and Colonel Amos Voss led 1,400 cavalrymen out of Harper’s Ferry on a pontoon bridge across the Potomac, turning left onto a narrow road that wound to the west around the base of Maryland Heights in the north toward Sharpsburg. Despite a number of encounters with Confederates returning from South Mountain, the cavalry came upon a wagon train approaching from Hagerstown carrying Major-General James Longstreet’s reserve supply of ammunition. They tricked the teamsters into following them and they repulsed the Confederate cavalry escort at the rear of the column. Capturing more than 40 enemy ordnance wagons, Davis lost not a single man in the first great cavalry exploit of the war achieved by the Army of the Potomac. Nevertheless, About 12,000 men remained encircled at Harper’s Ferry.
