Return of the Queen of the West from the Mississippi
A Jackson Appeal dispatch reports the Queen of the West has returned from below Vicksburg after a daring run past rebel batteries at Port Hudson. Three rebel steamers with supplies were destroyed, 56 prisoners taken including a colonel. Col. Hazer led the attack, and the ram sustained heavy fire yet saved the crew. The mission boosted Union morale before Vicksburg as river operations continue amid rising waters and canal challenges.
