March 16 1863 Monday

Fort Pemberton, MS

Yazoo Pass Expedition
Steele Bayou Expedition
Virginia Southside and North Carolina Operations

CSA. After the battle of Stones River, Confederate Major General John Porter McCown and several other senior generals petitioned President Jefferson Finis Davis to relieve General Braxton Bragg of command in favour of General Joseph Eggleston Johnston. Davis refused to relieve either Bragg or the rebellious generals and the dispute persisted. McCown was criticised by Bragg, who blamed McCown for the loss of New Madrid and labelled him as his “worst division commander”. In March 1863 Bragg had McCown court-martialled, ostensibly for disobeying orders at Murfreesboro, but more likely for his outspoken criticism of Bragg and Confederate officials, among them the President. McCown was relieved of his command and was tried and found guilty of disobedience of orders on 16 March 1863. He was sentenced to suspension from duty for a period of six months. McCown declared the Confederacy was nothing more than “a damned stinking cotton oligarchy… gotten up for the benefit of Isham G Harris and Jefferson Davis and their damned corrupt cliques.” In May, most of McCown’s former command was sent away from Tennessee for service in Mississippi. McCown himself served only in minor roles for the rest of the war.

Florida. USS Octorara, Commander Napoleon Collins, seized the sloop Rosalie and the schooner Five Brothers with a cargo of cotton off the eastern coast.

Louisiana. After passing the Confederate works at Port Hudson, the two remaining ships of Rear Admiral David Glasgow Farragut’s flotilla anchored at the mouth of the Red River. USS Hartford and USS Albatross were reinforced with chains, anti-boarding nets, and other protection before they steamed northwards back towards Vicksburg.

Mississippi. Incidents at Hernando and Greenwood.

Mississippi. During the afternoon, one division of Union Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman’s Corps boarded the transports for the Steele Bayou expedition above the mouth of the Yazoo River. They were accompanied by part of Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter’s fleet which had already arrived in the morning to begin the two hundred miles’ journey to land the troops on the Yazoo River above Haines Bluff.
The ships involved in the Steele Bayou expedition were the USS Louisville, USS Cincinnati, USS Carondelet, USS Pittsburg, USS Mound City, four mortar boats, and four tugs, followed by the transports with the army division. They made their way first to Black Bayou, a densely-wooded and tangled channel about four miles long leading into Deer Creek. At that point, further progress was impeded by the dense overhanging forest. After twenty-four hours of tree-felling and clearance by the troops aboard the transports, the ships broke through to Deer Creek by morning.

Fort Pemberton, Mississippi. Union Lieutenant-Commander Watson Smith USN spent the two days repairing his vessels from the second attack on Fort Pemberton on the Yazoo River and put ashore a broadside 8-inch gun from USS Baron De Kalb to strengthen the shore battery. He and Brigadier-General Leonard Fulton Ross, commanding the army troops aboard the transports, decided to make a third more determined attempt to pass Fort Pemberton on the Yazoo River. The ironclads would be pushed closer to Fort Pemberton than before in order to be better able to silence its guns. They would advance side by side with the mortar boat lashed between them. Infantry would follow in tinclads behind them, ready to go ashore as soon as the guns in the fort were knocked out and a suitable landing place could be found.
USS Chillicothe, Lieutenant-Commander James P Foster, resumed the attack with USS Baron De Kalb but they were both struck several times by Confederate artillery early in the attack. A series of solid shots or shells hit USS Chillicothe‘s casemate. The impact buckled the armour plates in such a manner that the gun-port stoppers could not be raised. The guns of the USS Chillicothe were rendered unworkable and some gunners were killed. USS Baron De Kalb lost ten beams on the gun deck and the steering gear was damaged. USS Chillicothe was forced to retire and Smith decided to pull the relatively undamaged USS Baron De Kalb out of action from the narrow channel. The planned attack collapsed almost immediately with the loss of its best armoured ships. The army was unable to land troops because the surrounding country was inundated and impassable.
Losses aboard the USS Chillicothe in the attacks of the 11, 13, and 16 March amounted to 22 killed, wounded, or drowned. Smith conceded that his failing health was impeding the expedition, so he turned command over to Lieutenant Commander James P Foster USN. Foster and Ross decided together that further efforts would be futile, so the flotilla began to withdraw the next day.

North Carolina. Expedition to New Bern ended.

North Carolina. Confederate Major-General Daniel Harvey Hill returned to Goldsboro after his failed attempt to capture New Bern, blaming the failure of cooperation by Major-General William Henry Chase Whiting for the defeat. Whiting had refused to send part of his force from the Cape Fear River to reinforce the attack.

Tennessee. Reconnaissance to Lafayette and Moscow ended.

Tennessee. Union reconnaissance from Jackson to Trenton began.

Tennessee. Skirmish at Moscow.

Tennessee. A Cavalry Corps was established unofficially in the Confederate Army of Tennessee. One cavalry division was led by Major-General Earl Van Dorn and, as senior officer, he assumed command of the whole force. His division had about 8,000 troops in the three brigades of Brigadier-General Nathan Bedford Forrest, Brigadier-General William Hicks Jackson, and Brigadier-General Francis Crawford Armstrong. The headquarters were at Spring Hill and the area of operation was broadly western Tennessee and northern Mississippi. Major-General Joseph Wheeler commanded two cavalry divisions under Brigadier-General John Austin Wharton (brigades of Colonel Charles Constantine Crews and Colonel Thomas Harrison) and Brigadier-General William Thompson Martin (brigades of Colonel John Tyler Morgan, Colonel A A Russell, and Colonel Philip Dale Roddey).

Virginia. Reconnaissance in Boone County, Logan County, Wyoming County, and Camp Piatt ended.

Virginia. Scouts from Union Brigadier-General William Woods Averell’s 2^nd Cavalry Division detected Confederate cavalry near Culpeper Court House. Averell assembled a force of 3,000 cavalrymen and six artillery pieces (6^th Battery, New York Light Artillery under Captain Joseph W Martin) and set off to attack them via Kelly’s Ford on the Rappahannock River between Fauquier and Culpeper Counties. After various troops were detached to cover his movements and to engage the enemy’s pickets at Rappahannock Station, he had 2,100 men ready for battle in three brigades, commanded by Colonel Alfred Napoleon Alexander Duffié, Colonel John Baillie McIntosh, and Captain Marcus Reno. Facing him was a single Confederate cavalry brigade commanded by Brigadier-General Fitzhugh Lee with 800 men in five regiments, supported by a two-gun artillery section.

Virginia. Confederate Captain John Singleton Mosby and 50 raiders attacked two Union cavalry outposts in Fairfax County. Hearing of the attacks, the local Union command sent out a 200-man detachment to pursue the raiders. They managed to get within a hundred yards of the Confederates when Mosby turned his column around and counter-charged. The Union withdrawal turned into a rout with the loss of 5 killed, 15 wounded and 36 captured Union soldiers.
