Source note
The 1st South Carolina Volunteer Infantry had been formed late in 1862 from escaped slaves mostly from South Carolina and Florida.  The unit was stationed on the former slave plantation of John Joyner Smith, near Port Royal, South Carolina, then designated as Camp Saxton, after the region's military governor, Brigadier-General Rufus Saxton.  On New Years Day 1863, as part of a wide celebration of emancipation in which hundreds of formerly enslaved men and women came from Port Royal, nearby Beaufort, and beyond, the regiment received its colors from its Colonel, Thomas Higginson.  Sergeant Prince Rivers, the new color sergeant, addressed the crowd followed by General Saxton and others.  The 1st South Carolina was the first federally authorized African American regiment and became the 33rd United States Colored Regiment on February 8, 1864.  (By John Osborne)

Joseph Gales, Jr., publisher of the National Intelligencer for fifty years, dies in Washington, DC

Joseph Gales, Jr., died in Washington DC, aged seventy-four.  He came to the United States with his parents at age nine from England and became one of the nation's leading political journalists. With his brother-in-law, William Seaton, he published and edited the National Intelligencer in Washington DC as a daily from 1813 until his death, recording the debates of Congress.  They were the official printers of Congress between 1819 and 1829.  Gales also served as the mayor of Washington from 1827-1830.  (By John Osborne)
