MAY 29TH
General Grant sent two communiques to Porter requesting naval assistance for Army operations below Vicksburg.
In the first he requested help for General Blair who was attempting to clear out Confederates between the Big Black and Yazoo rivers.
In the second, he requested that the Marine Brigade be sent to Haynes' Bluff and occupy it until he could relieve them with his troops.
CSS Alabama captured and burned the Jabez Snow in the South Atlantic.
