Second Memphis, Tennessee, also known as Memphis. Confederate Major-General Nathan Bedford Forrest left Hernando at midnight and arrived with 1,500 raiders at the outskirts of Union-held Memphis at around 3 am. He did not intend to capture the city, which was garrisoned by 6,000 Union troops under Major-General Cadwallader Colden Washburn. Forrest had two specific objectives and a general one. His specific aims were to capture three Union generals posted at Memphis and to release Confederate prisoners from the Irving Block Prison. More generally, he aimed to force the recall of the Union forces of Major-General Andrew Jackson Smith from northern Mississippi.
Taking advantage of a thick dawn fog and claiming to be a Union patrol returning with prisoners, the Confederates achieved surprise and eliminated the prison sentries. Galloping through the streets and exchanging shots with other Union troops, the raiders split to pursue their separate missions. Union Major-General Stephen Augustus Hurlbut was not at his quarters and rumours abounded about his actual whereabouts. Washburn escaped to Fort Pickering dressed in his night-shirt. The third general, Brigadier-General Ralph Pomeroy Buckland, was the garrison commander and he also escaped into Fort Pickering. The attack on Irving Block Prison failed when Union troops stalled the main body at the State Female College. After two hours of fierce street fighting, Forrest decided to withdraw at 9 am, cutting the telegraph wires. The column headed back towards Hernando having thoroughly alarmed the garrison and embarrassed the Union commanders in western Tennessee.
The raiders claimed to have captured 500 prisoners and large quantities of supplies, including 200 horses. Union casualties were reported as 80 men killed and wounded and 116 captured and the Confederates lost between 35 and 62 men. (CWSAC Formative Battle Union Victory)

Virginia. Skirmish at Berryville.

Virginia. Incident at Point Pleasant.

Virginia. Skirmish in Loudoun County.

Weldon Railroad, Virginia. Fair weather returned during the morning for the opposing lines near the Weldon railroad. Confederate Lieutenant-General Ambrose Powell Hill decided to probe the new Union entrenchments for a weak point. The Confederates attacked at 9 am, with Confederate Major-General William Mahone’s division striking the Union left, and Major-General Henry Heth’s division attacking the centre of the Union line. Both attacks were unsuccessful against the strong entrenchments and resulted in heavy losses, particularly in the brigade of Brigadier-General Johnson Hagood. Brigadier-General John Calhoun Sanders of Mahone’s division was killed during the assault. The Union defences were reinforced by the arrival of IX Corps from the reserve. Confederate General Robert Edward Lee arrived during the afternoon with more reinforcements, but he agreed that further efforts would be futile. By 10.30 am, the Confederates withdrew, leaving several miles of the Weldon railroad in Union hands.
The fighting at Globe Tavern enabled Union Lieutenant-General Ulysses Simpson Grant to extend his siege lines further south and west and to cut the Weldon Railroad permanently. Union Major-General Winfield Scott Hancock and the remainder of II Corps had now crossed to the south side of the James River and he was ordered to move with his 1^st Division (Brigadier-General Nelson Appleton Miles) and 2^nd Division (Brigadier-General John Gibbon) to the Weldon Railroad south of Ream’s Station. The march was accompanied by the cavalry division of Brigadier-General David McMurtrie Gregg and the cavalry brigade of Colonel Ellis Spear. Hancock’s objective was Ream’s Station, five miles south of Globe Tavern and ten miles north of Stony Creek. Grant’s intention was to further extend the Union line and to lengthen the distance by which Confederate supplies had to be hauled to Petersburg. The Confederates had lost a long section of the Weldon Railroad and were now forced to haul supplies by wagon along a roundabout route. The 30-mile long wagon road led from the railroad depot at Stony Creek Station and along the Boydton Plank Road into Petersburg.
Total casualties for the actions at Globe Tavern and the Weldon Railroad were estimated as 4,455 Union (1,303 killed or wounded and 3,152 missing) out of 20,289 Confederate losses were estimated as 1,200 killed and wounded and 419 missing out of 14,787 engaged.

West Virginia. Skirmish at Middleway,

Summit Point, West Virginia, also known as Charles Town, Flowing Springs (Welsh’s Springs), or Cameron’s Depot. Union Major-General Philip Henry Sheridan and the Army of the Shenandoah were encamped near Charles Town. Sheridan had halted at the northern end of Shenandoah Valley because of exaggerated reports of Confederate reinforcements. The Confederates read Sheridan’s passivity as timidity. Confederate Lieutenant-General Jubal Anderson Early and Major-General Richard Heron Anderson decided to attack Sheridan with converging columns and to recover the lower Shenandoah Valley. Early moved east via Smithfield to advance against the Union VI Corps. Anderson struck north against Brigadier-General James Harrison Wilson’s Union cavalry at Summit Point. There was also cavalry fighting near Berryville. There were minor engagements throughout the day, but the Union delaying actions were effective, permitting the Union army to withdraw towards Halltown. (CWSAC Limited Battle – Inconclusive)
