His force had about 9,600 men, of whom about 7,000 were based in New Bern, with smaller garrisons at Washington, Plymouth, Beaufort, and Morehead City. The Union forces in North Carolina had usually stayed close to their fortified coastal towns while making scouting and foraging expeditions and an occasional cavalry raid.

Ohio. Skirmish at Pomeroy.

Ohio. Confederate Brigadier-General John Hunt Morgan’s raiding force passed through Pomeroy, 150 miles east of Cincinnati, and began to encounter resistance from local forces. At 1 pm, the column halted at Chester to close up and rest. After a wait to allow stragglers to catch up, the column arrived in Buffington after dark around 8 pm. Morgan found his intended crossing point on the Ohio River was swollen by heavy rain. The fords were blocked by a redoubt that was manned by 300 men and two guns brought upstream by transports. This garrison was too strong to attack in a night action, but Morgan decided to attack in the morning before Union gunboats could arrive to reinforce the defenders.

South Carolina. Siege of Fort Wagner began.

Second Fort Wagner, South Carolina, also known as Fort Wagner, Morris Island, Second Assault on Morris Island, or Battery Wagner. The attack on Fort Wagner in Charleston harbour was renewed by Union Rear Admiral John Adolph Bernard Dahlgren’s ironclad force of USS Montauk, USS New Ironsides, USS Catskill, USS Nantucket, USS Weehawken, and USS Patapsco. The gunboats USS Paul Jones, USS Ottawa, USS Seneca, USS Chippewa, and USS Wissahickon provided long-range support. The heavy fire from the ironclads commenced shortly after noon, closing as the tide permitted to a range of 300 yards. The naval bombardment at this close range eventually silenced the fort. The fire of the fleet diminished in its accuracy as the light failed and finally had to be suspended at nightfall. The warships were joined by 41 land-based heavy guns that Major-General Quincy Adams Gillmore had emplaced. The combined force bombarded the defences for seven hours.
Gillmore ordered his troops to attack the fort at 7.30 pm, with the benefit of twilight to spoil the defenders’ aim. Gillmore deployed 6,000 men for a direct assault on the fort. They included Brigadier-General Alfred Howe Terry’s Union division (1/X), which was summoned from its diversionary operations on James Island in Charleston harbour.
The approach to Fort Wagner was constricted into a strip of beach 200 yards wide, with the ocean to the east and the marsh of Vincent’s Creek to the west. Upon rounding this narrow defile, the attackers were presented with the 250-yard south face of Fort Wagner which stretched from Vincent’s creek to the sea. Surrounding the fort was a shallow moat riveted with sharpened palmetto logs, as abattis, and the moat on the seaward side had planks with spikes positioned beneath the water. The armament of Fort Wagner consisted of one 10-inch seacoast mortar, two 32-pounder carronades, two 8-inch shell guns, two 32-pounder howitzers, a 42-pounder carronade and an 8-inch seacoast mortar on the land face. Company A of the 1^st South Carolina Artillery also had two guns positioned outside of Wagner’s southern face by Vincent’s creek to provide enfilading fire. The sea face of Wagner was armed with one 32-pounder carronade, one 10-inch Columbiad, and two 12-pounder howitzers. The garrison of Battery Wagner consisted of about 1,000 men in the 1^st South Carolina Artillery, the Charleston Battalion, the 31^st North Carolina Infantry, and the 51^st North Carolina Infantry.
The assault was made by Brigadier-General George Crockett Strong brigade (1/1/X) and Colonel Haldimand S Putnam’s brigade (2/1/X). They were backed by two more brigades with nine regiments. Strong’s brigade was composed of the 54^th Massachusetts (Colored) Infantry, 6^th Connecticut Infantry, 48^th New York Infantry, 3^rd New Hampshire Infantry, 76^th Pennsylvania Infantry, and the 9^th Maine Infantry. Putnam’s brigade consisted of the 7^th New Hampshire Infantry, 62^nd Ohio Infantry, 6^th Ohio Infantry, and 100^th New York Infantry. Brigadier-General Truman Seymour’s brigade was held in reserve and did not enter the action.
The assault began at 7:45 pm and was conducted in three stages. The 54^th Massachusetts, composed of African-American soldiers led by white officers, was chosen to lead the Union attack. They hit the curtain of Wagner to the west, with the remainder of Strong’s brigade and Putnam’s brigade attacking the seaward salient on the south face. Members of the attacking brigade scaled the parapet but after brutal hand-to-hand combat, they were driven out with heavy casualties. The effort was halted by 10pm after suffering heavy losses.
The fort was reinforced by Confederate Brigadier-General Johnson Hagood’s brigade shortly after the assault. The garrison was changed during the night and Hagood assumed command. He was later relieved by Colonel Laurence M Keitt who commanded the fort until it was abandoned on 7 September 1863.
In the days immediately following the battle, Union forces besieged the Confederate works on Morris Island with an array of military novelties. Union gunners made use of a new piece of artillery known as the Requa gun, consisting of 25 rifle barrels mounted on a field carriage. While sappers dug zig-zag trenches toward Fort Wagner. a second innovation, the calcium floodlight, was used to light the way. Bright lights were flashed at the defenders, blinding them enough to decrease accurate return fire while the Union gunners worked safely behind the lights. The Confederate defenders enjoyed some advantages. The ground the Union sappers were digging through was shallow sand with a muddy base and the trenches were difficult to maintain. The digging efforts uncovered Union dead from the previous assaults on Fort Wagner. Disease and bad water plagued soldiers on both sides.
Strong was mortally wounded and Putnam was killed in the salient while giving the order to withdraw. Colonel Chatfield of the 6^th Connecticut was mortally wounded while Colonel Robert Gould Shaw of the 54^th Massachusetts was killed upon the parapet. The 54^th Massachusetts lost 272 out of 650 engaged and were hailed for their brave conduct, raising the reputation of African Americans as soldiers. Union casualties were reported as 1,515 out of 5,264 engaged; the Confederates reported their loss as 174 out of 1,785. (CWSAC Major Battle – Confederate Victory)
