Virginia Southside and North Carolina Operations – Siege of Washington
First Bayou Teche Expedition
Streight’s Alabama Raid
Du Pont’s Operations at Charleston Harbour

Go to April 13 1863

Alabama. Incident at Florence.

California. Union expedition from Camp Babbitt to Keysville began against Tehachapie and Owen’s River Indians.

Louisiana. Incidents at Pass Manchac, Centreville, and Bethel Place.

Louisiana. Skirmish on the Amite River as the Confederates attempted to recover guns from a scuttled Union gunboat.

Louisiana. Union Major-General Nathaniel Prentiss Banks was advancing with 15,000 men up the Atchafalaya River and Bayou Teche to Alexandria as a preliminary effort before he moved on to reduce Port Hudson. He hoped to clear the Confederates from the area and so pass beyond Port Hudson along the western bank of the Mississippi.
Confederate Major-General Richard Taylor had 2,700 men from the Department of Western Louisiana in the vicinity of Fort Bisland. Their vulnerable flank on Grand Lake was protected by CSS Queen of the West and his right flank on Bayou Teche was guarded by the CSS Diana. Banks was aware that Taylor’s force could be cut off and he sent Brigadier-General Cuvier Grover’s division (4/XIX) on transports escorted by his four gunboats past Franklin, and across Grand Lake in order to land within a mile of Irish Bend on Bayou Teche. This would intercept any Confederate retreat from Fort Bisland or at least turn the flank of the enemy’s position. Grover was delayed by the grounding of USS Arizona, one of the four gunboats accompanying the manoeuvre under Lieutenant-Commander Cooke. Union Brigadier-General William Hemsley Emory’s division (3/XIX) and Brigadier-General Godfrey Weitzel’s division (1/XIX) from New Orleans had already landed at Berwick the previous day and they were skirmishing towards Fort Bisland. They aimed to pin down the defenders while Grover’s amphibious envelopment was achieved.
Taylor sent Colonel Thomas Green’s Confederate 5^th Texas Cavalry to ascertain the strength of the enemy’s main force and to retard their advance. He also sent troops under Brigadier-General Jean Jacques Alfred Alexander Mouton to impede the advance of Grover’s division. Late in the day, Union troops from Emory’s and Weitzel’s commands arrived outside the defences of Fort Bisland on the Amite River. An artillery exchange ensued until dark when the Union fell back and camped for the night.

Louisiana. Union Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter and Major-General Ulysses Simpson Grant agreed on their plan for the capture of Vicksburg. While Porter prepared to pass a naval force southwards through the batteries at Vicksburg, Grant’s army would march from Milliken’s Bend to New Carthage along the levees of the western bank of the Mississippi, using new roads and crossings built by Major-General John Alexander McClernand’s Corps. Once south of the city the army would embark at New Carthage and be transported across the river to seize Grand Gulf or Warrenton, Mississippi, under the protective fire of the gunboats. Grand Gulf or Warrenton would become the new base of operations against Vicksburg on the eastern bank of the Mississippi. New Carthage was halfway between Grand Gulf and Warrenton and the decision on the landing point would be made once the ships and troops were in position and the defences assessed.

Mississippi. In preparation for his passage of the Vicksburg batteries, Union Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter ordered eight of his gunboats to the mouths of the Arkansas and White Rivers to ensure that the Mississippi was guarded or patrolled against guerrilla attacks after he moved south with his main force. Porter also sent a sizeable force into the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers, to raise their strength to 23 vessels (including the Mississippi Marine Brigade).

Mississippi. Union Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter reported to Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles about developments in the campaign to take Vicksburg. He described adaptations to various gunboats, which involved placing three 11-inch guns in the bow of each one to improve their effectiveness in river fighting. Major-General Ulysses Simpson Grant planned to embark his army at Carthage, then to seize Grand Gulf under supporting fire from the gunboats, and make it the base of his operations. Porter was ready to pass the Vicksburg batteries at night, engaging them while the transport ships went by under cover of smoke.

Mississippi. Incident at Deer Creek.

North Carolina. Skirmish at Edenton Road.

South Carolina. The ironclad warships taken over the bar into Charleston Harbour were withdrawn by Union Rear Admiral Samuel Francis Du Pont, just in time to foil an audacious attack with torpedoes that was being planned by the Confederates.

South Carolina. The blockade-running steamer Stonewall Jackson, attempting to get into Charleston from Nassau, dashed past USS Flag and USS Huron. The blockaders shelled the steamer and made several holes in the hull. Finding escape impossible, Stonewall Jackson was run aground near Long Island and destroyed with her cargo, which included artillery pieces and 40,000 Army shoes.

Tennessee. Skirmish at Stewartsboro.

Utah Territory. Skirmish at Pleasant Grove.

Virginia. Union reconnaissance from Winchester along the Cedar Creek Valley began.

Virginia. Union reconnaissances from Gloucester Point to Hickory Creek.

Virginia. Skirmishes on the Edenton Road, Providence Church Road, and Somerton Road on the approaches to Suffolk.

Virginia. After skirmishes on the Blackwater River, the Union divisions of Major-General John James Peck and Brigadier-General George Washington Getty retreated to the defences of Suffolk. Confederate Lieutenant-General James Longstreet arrived with the divisions of Major-General John Bell Hood and Major-General George Edward Pickett and prepared to invest the larger Union garrison. Longstreet set up batteries across the Nansemond River and extended his right flank to the Dismal Swamp. For most of the time, the Confederates held a thin line, demonstrating and diverting Union attention while supply wagons foraged across the surrounding countryside and transported their booty to the Petersburg & Norfolk Railroad.

Virginia. US President Abraham Lincoln received a letter from Union Major-General Joseph Hooker suggesting a proposed movement around Confederate General Robert Edward Lee’s flank towards Richmond. Hooker planned a flanking attack that would avoid costly frontal attacks, which were a feature of the failure at Fredericksburg in December 1862. The plan ran contrary to their recent discussions and Lincoln reminded Hooker that Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia must be Hooker’s main goal.

Virginia. A complete overhaul of the Army of the Potomac’s Bureau of Military Intelligence, which was commanded by Colonel G H Sharpe, now meant that Major-General Joseph Hooker had its first truly accurate appraisals of the number of troops in the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, how they were organised, and where they were stationed. Apart from gathering the usual sources of information from interrogating prisoners, deserters, “contrabands” (escaped slaves), and refugees, the Bureau for the first time coordinated intelligence gathered from other sources including infantry and cavalry reconnaissances, signal stations, and an aerial balloon corps. Sharpe also recruited scouts from the army and spies from the local population to infiltrate the enemy and to report directly back to the Bureau. Whereas Hooker’s predecessors, Major-General George Brinton McClellan, Major-General John Pope, and Major-General Ambrose Everett Burnside, had struggled to obtain reliable intelligence and often overestimated the enemy’s strength, Hooker was very well informed. The Union cavalry was also operating with more confidence and in greater numbers against the hitherto superior Confederate cavalry to bring in good information.

Virginia. Union Rear Admiral Samuel Phillips Lee sent the USS Commodore Barney under Lieutenant William Barker Cushing USN up the Nansemond River to assist in the defence of Suffolk.

Virginia. Union Brigadier-General Michael Corcoran killed Lieutenant-Colonel Edgar A Kimball, commander of the 9^th New York Infantry. Corcoran had attempted to pass through the regiment’s lines near Suffolk without giving the required password after receiving the challenge from a sentry. When Kimball intervened on the side of the sentry, Corcoran shot Kimball. Although this was deemed by many to be an act of murder, Corcoran’s defence was accepted. He was not charged with a crime or reprimanded, and he continued to serve.
