Confederacy - Political
President Davis disagrees with Confederate congressmen over the command in Missouri. He writes: "I have, long since, learned, learned to bear hasty censure in the hope that justice if tardy is sure, and in any event to find consolation in the assurance that all my ends have been my country's."
Union - Military
Western Virginia
Brigadier General R.H. Milroy leads his troops from the Cheat Mountain encampment in western Virginia against Confederate troops at Camp Alleghany/Buffalo Mountain. The Federals will eventually fall back with 137 casualties, the Confederates 146. The Federals retreat to Cheat Mountain, the Confederates retreat to Staunton in the Shenandoah Valley.
