Go to April 4 1865

Alabama. Incident at Centerville.

Alabama. Skirmish at Northport, near Tuscaloosa.

Alabama. Union reconnaissance from Huntsville towards Vienna began.

Alabama. After evacuating Selma, the remnants of Confederate Lieutenant-General Nathan Bedford Forrest’s command were joined at Marion by the second brigade of Brigadier-General James Ronald Chalmers’ cavalry division. They moved onwards to Livingston, unable to contest the further progress of the far more numerous cavalry of Union Brigadier-General James Harrison Wilson. Wilson’s troops spent a week looting the city of Selma. Many businesses and private residences were burned along with military installations. The Arsenal and naval foundry were destroyed. The Union XIII Corps subsequently arrived from Mobile to provide a garrison for the city.

District of Columbia. News of the fall of the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia, reached Washington at mid-morning and prompted jubilant celebrations.

Georgia. Incident at Coosawattee River.

Missouri. Union troops pursued Confederate guerrillas from Farmington.

North Carolina. Incident at Goldsboro.

North Carolina. Expedition from Tennessee to Asheville by Union Major-General David Sloane Stanley’s IV Corps began.

Tennessee. Skirmish at Mount Pleasant.

Virginia. Skirmish near Hillsville. Union Brigadier-General George Stoneman and his cavalry raiders, having passed through Wilkesboro, North Carolina, reached the Knoxville to Lynchburg Railroad between Salem and Wytheville. One of the detached columns from the main Union body entered the town of Hillsville and caused widespread destruction. They also captured and burned a Confederate train of 22 wagons that was heading for Petersburg.

Virginia. After the destruction of their three ironclad warships, the crews of the Confederate James River squadron embarked on the remaining wooden gunboats and sailed upstream towards Richmond. Rear Admiral Raphael Semmes disembarked his men at Richmond, burned the gunboats, and set them adrift. The explosions of their magazines added to the pandemonium. The only exceptions to the destruction were the unfinished ram CSS Texas, and a small tug gunboat CSS Beaufort, mounting one gun. The ships destroyed included the three ironclads CSS Virginia No 2, CSS Richmond, and CSS Fredericksburg, along with the wooden warships CSS Nansemond, CSS Hampton, CSS Roanoke, and the Torpedo Boat Shrapnel. Some vessels remained visible above the water and partly obstructed the channel. After outfitting the former ships’ crews with small arms, Semmes and his sailors joined the army. The various naval detachments found a locomotive and a number of railroad cars and headed for Danville, where they arrived on 4 April.

Virginia. Fifty Midshipmen of the Confederate Naval Academy, under the command of Lieutenant William H Parker, escorted the archives of the government and the specie and bullion of the treasury from Richmond to Danville. The Midshipmen Corps was entrusted with guard duty during the subsequent moves of the archives and treasury to Charlotte, North Carolina, then to Washington and Augusta in Georgia, and finally, to Abbeville, South Carolina. Ten Midshipmen remained in Richmond under the command of Lieutenant James W Billups where they burned and scuttled CSS Patrick Henry, the former schoolship of the Naval Academy.

Virginia. Confederate Captain John Randolph Tucker, commanding the Confederate Naval Brigade at Drewry’s Bluff on the James River, was not warned about the evacuation of Richmond. Tucker held the fortifications until he saw the smoke from the burning ironclads and learned that Confederate troops were abandoning Richmond. Tucker attached his Naval Brigade to Major-General George Washington Custis Lee’s division and joined the retreat.

Capture of Richmond, Virginia. A small Confederate cavalry brigade provided the capital’s last rear-guard as 20,000 Union troops were poised to enter Richmond from the east. They pulled back to Mayo’s Bridge and ensured that it was surrounded by the materials for of destruction. The bridge was blown at dawn after the last man had crossed. The Confederate capital of Richmond was finally occupied by Union troops from the lines at Bermuda Hundred were led into the city at about 7 am by Brigadier-General August Valentine Kautz’s division (1/XXV). Union Brigadier-General Godfrey Weitzel and the Army of the James accepted the formal surrender of Richmond at 8.15 am at the City Hall. Weitzel took 6,000 prisoners in the city, including 5,000 men convalescing in hospitals.

Petersburg, Virginia. Union forces moved into and occupied Petersburg. US President Abraham Lincoln took a train from City Point to the outskirts of Petersburg. He was escorted into the city by a White House civilian guard. He met Union Lieutenant-General Ulysses Simpson Grant before Grant had to set off to follow the advance of the armies. No official word had yet been received about the fall of Richmond. When Grant reached Sutherland Station, eight miles from Petersburg on the Southside Railroad, Grant received notification that the Confederate capital had surrendered at 8.30 am. Word also reached Lincoln after he had returned during the evening to City Point.

Virginia. Union Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter’s fleet in the James River sought to move on to Richmond. However, a dense pattern of obstacles and torpedoes prevented rapid progress. Sweeping for torpedoes was conducted by twenty boats assigned from ten ships in the flotilla. Lieutenant-Commander Ralph Chandler directed the sweeping operations, while shore parties from USS Monadnock kept ahead of the boats to cut torpedo detonating wires. Once the upper river was cleared of torpedoes and obstructions, the Union ships could steam as far as Richmond.

Virginia. The Confederate Army of Northern Virginia continued its escape from Richmond and Petersburg and marched westwards. The central column of 13,000 infantrymen and 3,000 artillerymen under Lieutenant-General James Longstreet and Major-General John Brown Gordon was joined by 4,000 men in the division of Major-General William Mahone, which arrived from Bermuda Hundred by way of Chesterfield Court House. This force was moving in good order. It provided much of the rear guard and had not been broken in the fall of Petersburg. Further north, Lieutenant-General Richard Stoddert Ewell brought 6,000 men from the garrison of Richmond, but only about a third of them, in Major-General Joseph Brevard Kershaw’s division, were veterans. Many of the remainder were reserve and garrison troops, heavy artillerymen, sailors, and militiamen in a composite division under Major-General George Washington Custis Lee.
The third group of 3,500 men was in a poor condition under the overall command of Lieutenant-General Richard Heron Anderson. These were those fragments of the divisions of Major-General George Edward Pickett, Major-General Bushrod Rust Johnson, Major-General Henry Heth, and Major-General Cadmus Marcellus Wilcox, which had escaped the defeat at Five Forks. Attempts were being made to consolidate and reorganise the remnants into recognisable units, but this column moved in a disorderly mass along the south bank of the Appomattox River until midnight. They were preceded by 3,500 cavalrymen led by Major-General Fitzhugh Lee.

Virginia. The Union armies began their pursuit of the Confederates west of Richmond and Petersburg. The cavalry of Major-General Philip Henry Sheridan probed south of the Appomattox River, followed by the V Corps of Major-General Charles Griffin. Griffin’s men were followed by II Corps under Major-General Andrew Atkinson Humphreys, and then by VI Corps under Major-General Horatio Gouverneur Wright. The XXIV Corps of Major-General John Gibbon and the IX Corps of Major-General John Grubb Parke began to follow the Southside Railroad, repairing the tracks as they moved.

Willicomack Creek, Virginia. The leading brigade of Union Brigadier-General George Armstrong Custer’s cavalry division under the command of Colonel William Wells attacked the Confederate cavalrymen of Brigadier-General Rufus Barringer along Willicomack creek. Wells’ brigade began their attack at about 9 am. Barringer’s 1^st North Carolina Cavalry and 2^nd North Carolina Cavalry, with a single artillery piece, and the 5^th North Carolina Cavalry in reserve, counter-attacked. After sharp fighting, the Confederate cavalry was pushed away by the 8^th New York Cavalry and reinforcements from the 15^th New York Cavalry and the 1^st Vermont Cavalry. Barringer had bought enough time for Major-General Bushrod Rust Johnson’s infantry division to pass nearby Namozine Church at around 8 am, but Johnson’s forces took a wrong turn at a fork in the road and had to halt when his command reached a bridge over Deep Creek that was underwater from recent flooding. Although the Union cavalry finally drove off the Confederate cavalry rear-guard, the Namozine Church road intersection had been protected long enough for Johnson to counter-march and take the correct fork. After finally overrunning the Confederate position by a dismounted assault, Wells’ men fought a running battle along the road to Namozine Church.

Namozine Church, Virginia. In the early morning cavalry regiments from Union Brigadier-General George Armstrong Custer’s division, which had taken over the advance of the pursuit from Five Forks, threatened the rear guard of Major-General William Henry Fitzhugh Lee’s column at a ford on Namozine Creek. The leading brigade of Custer’s division under the command of Colonel William Wells had already attacked the Confederate cavalrymen of Brigadier-General Rufus Barringer along Willicomack creek. After overrunning that Confederate position by dismounted assault, they fought a running battle along the road to Namozine Church. The Confederate rear guard now comprised the cavalry brigade of Brigadier-General William Paul Roberts and a few infantry detachments. Roberts #dismounted the 4^th North Carolina Cavalry and the 16^th North Carolina Cavalry Battalion, and they entrenched on the west side of the creek.
Custer brought up artillery to close range and the 1^st Vermont Cavalry forded the creek out of sight of the Confederates in order to outflank them. When the Confederates discovered this manoeuvre, they fled from their position. Custer’s division then crossed the creek and headed for Namozine Church, about five miles away. The Confederate cavalry separated in their retreat. Major-General Fitzhugh Lee’s cavalry division aimed for Amelia Court House and Major-General William Henry Fitzhugh Lee’s division headed for Bevill’s Bridge. When Major-General Bushrod Rust Johnson approached with his infantry division at Sweathouse Creek, Custer was forced to retire and halted for the night. As darkness fell, Wells’ brigade attacked Fitzhugh Lee’s troops along Deep Creek but, by the time his reserves were brought up, the Confederates had escaped. Barringer and many of his men were captured in the confused fighting. The Union cavalry camped for the night along the road from Namozine to Deep Creek while the Confederate infantry and remaining cavalry continued to march to their anticipated supply depot of Amelia Court House. Custer’s cavalry dug in for the night and waited for infantry from II Corps, V Corps, and VI Corps to close up with their advance.
The Union reported 75 to 95 men killed and wounded. Confederate losses are not known, but Union cavalry reported 350 prisoners and a captured artillery piece on the way to Namozine Church. Johnson reported 15 wounded from his division. (CWSAC Limited Battle – Confederate Victory)
