President Lincoln, writing to a friend, says Fremont’s proclamation “as to confiscation of property, and the liberation of slaves, is purely political, and not within the range of military law, or necessity.”
The Confederate government calls upon Arkansas and Mississippi for ten thousand men each for service in the West.
Federals carry out a reconnaissance from Cairo, Illinois, toward Columbus, Kentucky, with a skirmish at Mayfield Creek.
Federal jayhawker James Henry Lane of Kansas and his men, who have been committing numerous depredations on the Kansas-Missouri border (as have their Confederate counterparts), raid, loot, and burn the town of Osceola, Missouri. This is another incident in the cruel, irrational infighting in western Missouri and eastern Kansas, where no man knows where his neighbor stands and isn’t always sure about himself.

Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without.
