Destruction of the steamer R. E. Lee near Vicksburg
A smoke-filled blaze engulfed the steamer R. E. Lee as it traveled from Vicksburg to New Orleans. Ninety or more passengers and crew were lost or injured, with Pilot John Stout and engineer Perkins noted for decisive actions. The vessel, loaded with cotton and freight, burned near Ashwood, thirty miles below Vicksburg, after an early morning fire originated in the pantry area. The I. M. White aided rescue efforts, and Captain Cannon and Captain Campbell were among the boat’s officers. The loss includes valued property and cargo totaling around $100,000 with crews and passengers struggling to reach shore amid flames and smoke.

Duel of Miners Ends in Shadowed Room Below Camps
A letter from Carcizo Pass west of Dallas recounts a hostile mining camp duel between George Hal Jenbeck and William Stratton, two New Yorkers with Civil War histories. In a dark room they fired. Stratton fell with a fatal wound while Hollenbeck’s shot missed. The scene reveals a dramatic, almost ceremonial confrontation between former soldiers now in West mining towns.
