In Mississippi, the Army of the Tennessee wins a pivotal battle at Champion Hill and moves on to Vicksburg
General U.S. Grant's Army of the Tennessee attacked 22,000 Confederate troops dug in on high ground across three miles to block the Union advance on Vicksburg, Mississippi. Grant moved at dawn, and after heavy late morning fighting, his men took the crest of the hill at around 1 p.m.. Union reserves resisted a CSA counterattack and swept on to a solid victory, advancing to Baker's Creek Bridge before nightfall. The Confederates lost almost 4,000 men captured, wounded, or killed, including Brigadier General Lloyd Tilghman. (By John Osborne)

U.S. Navy prize caught running the Charleston blockade sinks off North Carolina on its way to Boston
The schooner Amalia had been captured the week before running the blockade out of Charleston. Bound for Boston under tow by another prize, the Cherokee, she became separated in a gale off Cape Hatteras and began to founder. The British schooner Halitia was sighted and remained close as the five-man prize crew tried to save their vessel. At six in the evening they gave up and transferred to the Halitia and safety.
