Partisan Bates and Dolly Payton in 1862 chase
During the spring of 1862 in east Tennessee, partisan leader Carroll Bates and about thirty men conducted raids and guerrilla acts against Union forces. A Union captain captured Bates at Colonel Payton’s home where Dolly Payton pleaded for Bates’ life. Dolly’s letter asking clemency influenced a Union general to consider sparing the partisans, though the fate of Bates and his men remained dire.

This 14 Inch Rifle Could Endure Only Seventy Rounds
An 14 inch dreadnought gun planned for two new battleships is described as the most powerful naval weapon yet built. Each gun costs roughly 85 000 dollars and its shell weighs about 1400 pounds with a 450 pound powder charge. Test analyses suggest a service life of about seventy rounds under heavy action, with muzzle energy capable of lifting heavy ships and penetrating thick armor at strategic ranges.
