Florida. Operation at Jacksonville ended in the evacuation of Union troops by sea.

Louisiana. Operation from Milliken’s Bend to New Carthage began.

Louisiana. Skirmish at Richmond.

Louisiana. Incident at Roundaway Bayou.

Louisiana. On the same day that Union forces left Milliken’s Bend to reconnoitre the road to New Carthage, the ground was broken on the new Duckport Canal. If completed, the canal would connect Duckport Landing just above Young’s Point on the Mississippi River with Roundaway Bayou and Walnut Bayou, and so enable the Union troops to reach New Carthage by flatboat. The route could also be used to supply the army as it moved south through Louisiana. A force of 3,500 men from Major-General John Alexander McClernand’s and Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman’s Corps worked under the direction of Colonel George G Pride, a volunteer aide-de-camp on the army’s engineering staff, so the canal became known as “Pride’s Ditch.” Six companies of Colonel Josiah Bissell’s Engineer Regiment assisted in the effort to cut a three-mile canal from the river to Cooper’s Plantation on Walnut Bayou. Rapid progress was made as the soldiers excavated a ditch 7 feet deep and 40 feet wide.

Mississippi. Incident at Grand Gulf.

Mississippi. The Union ram USS Switzerland, Colonel Charles R Ellett, had completed the repairs of damage sustained at Vicksburg and steamed below Warrenton to join the USS Hartford and USS Albatross under Rear Admiral David Glasgow Farragut. The three ships then ran past the batteries at Grand Gulf overnight.
