War rumors and a river expedition near White River
The Whitewater Register notes no solid war news with rumors of a Shenandoah rebel raid and alarm in Washington. Reports say Front Royal may be occupied by rebels and Fremont to Winchester, but reliability is doubtful. An expedition by gunboats and Indiana regiments attacked a Confederate battery at St Charles, with heavy losses on both sides and a boiler explosion aboard the Mound City.
