In Missouri, U.S. Army officials seize $33,000 of Cherokee Nation funds held in St. Louis banks

The U.S. Army Provost-Marshal in St. Louis, Missouri seized the holdings of the Cherokee Nation, amounting to $33,000, in the St. Louis Savings and Loan since he considered that the nation had sided with the Confederacy and no longer was entitled to its government annuity.  Cherokee troops had fought at Wilson's Creek and declarations in August, 1861 and on October 28, 1861 made an alliance with the Confederacy official.  (By John Osborne)

Confederate gunboats seize Union steamer off North Carolina, capturing Indiana and New York troops aboard

Confederate steam tugs intercepted the small Union-chartered screw-driven steamer Fanny off the coast of North Carolina as it was ferrying stores from Hatteras Island to Chicomacomico.  Twenty-five men of the 20th Indiana and the 9th New York were captured, along with two artillery pieces.  The Fanny was taken into the Confederate Navy but was later abandoned and destroyed by fire when cornered at Elizabeth City, North Carolina, in February 1862.  Three days later Georgia troops attacked the 20th Indiana at its camp in Chicomacomico.
