July 8 1863 Wednesday

Mauckport, IN

Gettysburg Campaign
Siege of Port Hudson
Morgan’s Ohio Raid
Gillmore’s Operations in Charleston Harbour
Taylor’s Expedition to the Mississippi

Florida. Two cutters from USS Restless and USS Rosalie, Acting Ensigns Henry Eason and James J Russell, captured the schooner Ann and an unnamed sloop in Horse Creek with their cargoes of cotton.

Mauckport, Indiana. Confederate Brigadier-General John Hunt Morgan’s raiders reached the Ohio River at Brandenburg and attempted to cross to Mauckport, despite explicit orders to remain south of the river in Kentucky.
Following the 1862 Newburgh Raid into Indiana, the Union government stationed a regiment of regular cavalry troops in south-central Indiana to defend the region against raiders. After patrolling the border for several months, no new raids had occurred. They were withdrawn in March 1863, leaving only the local militia for defence. As news of an impending raid spread across the state, Governor Oliver P Morton called out the state’s militia force, the Indiana Legion, to defend against the threat. Unaware of the size of the invading army, four companies of the 6^th and 8^th Regiments of the Indiana Legion, totalling about one hundred men, attempted to prevent the Confederates from crossing the Ohio River into Indiana at Mauckport. In the morning Union Captain G W Lyon opened fire on the Alice Dean, intending to destroy or disable the steamer and the John T McCombs, which were captured by a Confederate advance party to ferry the raiders into Indiana. The militia fired their ceremonial cannon twice, and the second shot hit the upper deck of the John T McCombs, passing through the ship and landing near a group of men on the shore, wounding a Confederate. As the shelling began Provost Marshall John Timberlake arrived on the scene from Corydon with a small company of reinforcements and assumed command. Timberlake, a Colonel in the Regular Army, believed Morgan’s force was small and decided to spare the steamships and instead shell the massed cavalry. Before the puny gun could be aimed again, the superior Confederate artillery was set up and returned fire from their higher position on the opposite side of the river through dense morning fog in the valley. Their first shot landed short of the Indiana Legion’s position, and the second shot landed behind them. The Legion gunners set off a third shot and then fled into a nearby forest. As they moved up the ridge and into the woods, they became visible to the Confederate artillery which began to shell the forest, mortally wounding two men. The Confederates continued to shell the landing.
With resistance seemingly at an end, Morgan began crossing his troops over the Ohio River in the two captured steamers. The first company to land moved up the ridge on the north shore and engaged the Legion defenders in a skirmish. Union commanders in Louisville had sent out requests for naval support in preventing Morgan’s crossing as soon as they received reports from Brandenburg. The tinclad gunboat USS Springfield, armed with six 24-pound howitzers, was at New Albany and it was dispatched downriver and arrived on the scene just after Morgan had begun to ferry his force across the river. USS Springfield opened fire on Morgan’s two steamers who retreated back under the covering fire of the Confederate artillery. The Union ship began shelling both the northern and southern shores of the river, damaging several buildings. Morgan’s forces took cover in nearby forests while the armed steamer and the artillery on the shore duelled for about an hour. The USS Springfield ran out of ammunition and withdrew, allowing Morgan to resume the crossing. After about half of his force had been ferried into Indiana, the Union gunboat USS Elk and an armed private ship, the Grey Eagle, arrived on the scene. The USS Elk fired a shot into the deck of the Alice Dean as it tried to escape to the shoreline. Both of the Union ships were wooden, and as the Confederate artillery opened fire, they quickly retreated upriver towards Louisville to avoid being destroyed.
The crossing resumed again. In total, it took seventeen hours for Morgan to ferry his 2,000 men and supplies across the Ohio. By listening in on the telegraph, Morgan learned that Brigadier-General Edward Henry Hobson was approaching with a force of 4,000 cavalrymen from the south. The lead elements of the Union force arrived in Brandenburg at about 8 pm, where the Confederate rearguard was able to delay their advance long enough for Morgan’s artillery to be carried across the river. On the last trip across, most of the rearguard was able to escape, but several were left behind and captured. Once the Confederates had crossed the river, the Alice Dean was set ablaze and sunk in the river between Morvin’s landing and Mauckport, to deny the Union pursuers use of the vessel and to impede the river crossing. Morgan ordered the John T McCombs to be burnt, but Confederate Colonel Basil Wilson Duke countermanded the order because of his friendship with its Captain. He was allowed to return with his ship to Louisville unharmed.
Hobson and the main body of the Union cavalry arrived in Brandenburg at about 10:15 pm, just as the Alice Dean went under the water. Hobson deployed his artillery and fired several shots at the Confederates across the river and they quickly withdrew out of range of his guns.
The Union militia withdrew gradually and fought delaying actions along the Mauckport road to slow the cavalry’s advance towards Corydon. As the Indiana Legion retreated northward, they met the main body of the 6^th Regiment under the command of Colonel Lewis Jordan. Along with the townspeople, the reinforced militia constructed breastworks that formed a defensive line south of Corydon. Despite promises of reinforcements from Legion commanders in New Albany, only about 450 men (consisting almost entirely of locals) were available to defend the town. The four Legion companies that had attempted to prevent the crossing had been reinforced by four additional companies from Corydon, one from Elizabeth, and one from New Amsterdam. During the evening, the leading elements of Morgan’s force followed the Indiana Legion and arrived within five miles of Corydon. The militiamen lured a company of unsuspecting Confederates into an ambush where they were surrounded; sixteen were captured and taken to the Corydon jail. The invaders also successfully captured about thirty defenders in several skirmishes.
That night, most of Morgan’s men camped just north of Mauckport. They found the area deserted, as all the civilians had fled their homes. Morgan’s men tapped the telegraph lines again and began sending false reports that they were headed for New Albany. The disinformation dissuaded New Albany’s Legion leaders from sending further reinforcements to Corydon. Union Lieutenant-Commander Fitch, aboard USS Moose, received word at Cincinnati about Morgan’s attacks along the banks of the Ohio River. Fitch ordered the ships stationed along the river to go in pursuit and got underway himself with USS Victory in company.

Kentucky. Confederate Brigadier-General John Hunt Morgan’s raiders cross the Ohio River at Cumming’s Ferry and Bradenburg, near Louisville.

Louisiana. Siege of Port Hudson ended.

Louisiana. Having heard rumours of the fall of Vicksburg, Confederate Major-General Franklin Gardner sought confirmation of the surrender from the Union army besieging Port Hudson. Union Major-General Nathaniel Prentiss Banks provided convincing evidence. There was no prospect of relief and the fall of Vicksburg meant that the survival of the outpost on the Mississippi would only be brief and purposeless. Gardner began negotiations for the surrender of Port Hudson. Banks was ready to offer parole in order to end the siege promptly. Giving parole would avoid committing vessels for the transportation of prisoners and also release his own troops more quickly for the defence of New Orleans, which was being threatened by Confederate troops around Bayou La Fourche and Berwick Bay.

Maryland. Skirmish at Funkstown.

Maryland. Skirmish near Boonsboro.

Maryland. North of Williamsport, Union Brigadier-General Hugh Judson Kilpatrick’s 2^nd Cavalry Division drove two Confederate cavalry brigades through Hagerstown. Union Brigadier-General John Buford’s 1^st Cavalry Division was blocked from occupying Williamsport by strong Confederate defences, but identified the location of the main Confederate force.

Mississippi. Skirmish at Clinton.

Mississippi. Union Major-General John Grubb Parke’s troops skirmished at Bolton Station on the Vicksburg & Jackson Railroad.

New York. CSS Florida, Commander John Newland Maffitt, captured and burned the brig W B Nash and the whaling schooner Rienzi off New York. The latter carried a cargo of oil.

North Carolina. Expedition to Trenton ended.

South Carolina. To divert Confederate reinforcements away from opposing a renewed attack on Fort Wagner near Charleston, Union Brigadier-General Quincy Adams Gillmore designed two feints. An amphibious force ascended the Stono River to threaten the Charleston & Savannah Railroad Bridge. A second force, consisting of Brigadier-General Alfred Howe Terry’s division, landed on James Island, to demonstrate against the Confederate defences.

Tennessee. Union reconnaissance from Germantown towards Hernando.

Virginia. Evacuation of Suffolk.
