January 8 1863 Thursday

Second Battle of Springfield, MO (CWSAC Limited Battle Union Victory)

Marmaduke’s Missouri Raid
Arkansas River Expedition
Grant’s Central Mississippi Campaign

USA. John P Usher succeeded Caleb Blood Smith as US Secretary of the Interior.

Arkansas. Union reconnaissance from Elkhorn to Berryville began.

Arkansas. The Union Army of the Frontier of Brigadier-General James Gilpatrick Blunt withdrew from Fayetteville after the vulnerability of its supply lines was exposed by the Confederate raid against its main base at Springfield, Missouri.

Arkansas. The Confederates had constructed a large, four-sided earthwork fortification near Arkansas Post, on a bluff 25 feet above the north side of the river on a horseshoe bend, forty-five miles downriver from Pine Bluff. It was a bastioned fort surrounded by an 18-foot ditch. It overlooked the Arkansas River and blocked the passage upriver to Little Rock. The fort was named Fort Hindman and mounted twelve guns, including three 9-inch Columbiads, and one 8-inch rifle, with a commanding view for one mile upriver and downriver. It was also a base for disrupting shipping on the Mississippi River. Fort Hindman was garrisoned by approximately 5,000 men, primarily Texas dismounted cavalry and Arkansas infantry organised in three brigades under Brigadier-General Thomas James Churchill. Six field guns supported the infantry who occupied rifle pits a mile and a half below the fort. Disease and the rigours of life at the end of a tenuous supply chain had left the garrison at Fort Hindman in poor health.
Disregarding the authority of Union Major-General Ulysses Simpson Grant, Major-General John Alexander McClernand ordered Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman to join his unofficial Army of the Mississippi in an operation to capture Fort Hindman at Arkansas Post. McClernand’s force numbered between 30,000 and 33,000 men. They set out from Milliken’s Bend, Louisiana, aboard fifty transport ships, escorted by thirteen gunboats and rams (three of them ironclads). Brigadier-General George Washington Morgan commanded I Corps of the army with the 1^st Division under Brigadier-General Andrew Jackson Smith, and the 3^rd Division (formerly Morgan’s) under Brigadier-General Peter Joseph Osterhaus. Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman commanded II Corps with the 2^nd Division of Brigadier-General David Stuart (formerly Brigadier-General Morgan Lewis Smith’s), and the 4^th Division under Major-General Frederick Steele. The unofficial I Corps was more properly designated XIII Corps and II Corps was actually the XV Corps of the Army of the Tennessee, both of which had been established on 18 December 1862 but which were operating temporarily under the unofficial nomenclature.
Naval support came from Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter’s squadron and included the three ironclad gunboats USS Baron de Kalb, USS Louisville, and USS Cincinnati supported by USS Signal, USS Marmora, USS Lexington, USS New Era, USS Romeo, USS Rattler, USS Glide, and the flagship USS Black Hawk. Porter ordered the ram USS Monarch to join the force at the mouth of the Arkansas River. The flotilla attempted to deceive the Confederates by steaming north past the mouth of the Arkansas River and into the White River. They would then follow a cut-off channel to rejoin the Arkansas River.

Florida. USS Sagamore, Lieutenant-Commander Earl English, seized the blockade-running British sloop Julia off Jupiter Inlet with a cargo of salt.

Florida. USS Tahoma, Lieutenant-Commander Alexander A Semmes, captured the blockade-runner Silas Henry, aground in Tampa Bay with a cargo of cotton.

Second Springfield, Missouri, also known as Springfield. Confederate Brigadier-General John Sappington Marmaduke’s expedition into Missouri had passed Ozark and destroyed the Union post there, and now approached Springfield during the morning. Springfield was an important Union communications centre and supply depot. Although lightly garrisoned it had the advantage of being surrounded by a network of four completed earthen forts that commanded the high ground. The garrison was depleted because Brigadier-General Francis Jay Herron’s two divisions had not yet returned from their victory at Prairie Grove on 7 December 1862. After receiving a report on 7 January of the Confederates’ approach, Brigadier-General Egbert Benson Brown set about preparing for the attack and rounded up additional troops. He gathered about 2,000 men including Enrolled Militia from the District of Southwestern Missouri. To provide an unobstructed view for his artillery in Fort No 4 (located on the east side of South Avenue between Elm and Cherry Streets), Brown at the last minute ordered a number of homes burned along South Avenue.
At dawn, two Confederate columns under Confederate Brigadier-General John Sappington Marmaduke (4th Division, I Corps, Trans-Mississippi) approached Springfield from the south. Since Colonel Joseph C Porter’s and Colonel Emmett McDonald’s columns had yet to arrive, Marmaduke spent the early morning foraging and captured a group of Union Enrolled Missouri Militia about five miles from Springfield. After McDonald finally arrived by 10:30 am, the Confederates dismounted three regiments about three miles from Springfield and advanced to feel out the Union lines and develop their strength. The absence of Porter’s column impeded Marmaduke’s chances of success but the Confederates pushed back two Missouri State Militia cavalry regiments two miles northwards, towards the ruins of burning homes on the outskirts of Springfield.
Confederate Colonel Joseph Orville Shelby took command of the tactical operations, launching piecemeal assaults upon the Union centre and west flank. The Confederates advanced over open ground against Fort Number 4, seeking such shelter as they could get from tree stumps, piles of rock, and the charred remains of the homes burned by the Union forces. Despite repeated efforts, the assault on the fort failed. Shelby then resolved to take Springfield by an oblique attack from the west. The Confederates were drawn to the cover offered by a ravine that led uphill towards the town. A two-story brick academy surrounded by a stockade stood at the head of this draw. The Union forces failed to garrison the college stockade, so the Confederates were able to seize the building easily and use it as their own fortress to return the fire from Fort No 4. However, heavy fighting soon erupted around the stockade as the Union forces attempted to retake the college and stockade. The Confederates gained a local advantage in numbers and pressed their attack. There were severe casualties in hand-to-hand fighting and the Confederates captured a gun.
Union troops on the west flank also were pushed back to College Street from their original position along the Old Wire Road. Union reinforcements arrived to halt the Confederate drive and even pushed them back. With the sun sinking, Marmaduke launched a final assault against Fort No 4. The Union forces again repelled the attack. As night fell, the Confederates withdrew to the Phelps farm. Despite their failure to defeat the garrison, Marmaduke’s raiders were nevertheless able to burn part of the supply depot.
Of approximately 2,099 Union troops engaged, 19 men were killed or missing and 146 were wounded for a total loss of 165 men. Of approximately 1,870 Confederate troops present, at least 45 were killed or missing and 105 were wounded for a total loss of at least 150 men; later estimates reached 70 to 80 killed, 12 captured, and 200 wounded. (CWSAC Limited Battle Union Victory)

Tennessee. Confederate Major-General Joseph Wheeler began a raid across northern Georgia and eastern Tennessee.

Tennessee. Skirmish at Knob Creek near Ripley.

Texas. In response to the disaster at Galveston on 1 January, Union Commodore Henry Haywood Bell USN led the 24-gun screw steamer USS Brooklyn and six gunboats from the blockade at Mobile to attempt its recapture. The danger of grounding and the presence of the Confederate flotilla prevented Bell from attempting to force an entrance into Galveston and the ships remained offshore. They began a long-range bombardment of the port which lasted for three days.

Virginia. Union cavalry reconnaissance and expedition from Suffolk to the Blackwater River began.

Virginia. Union reconnaissance to Catlett’s Station and Rappahannock Station began.
