Status - John Baer - 40th Indiana Regiment - Wood's Division
The situation has remained mostly static around Corinth between the 21st and 25th. There are more rumors of a Confederate attack. Wood's division is on Buell's left next to Pope, and is coordinating to move forward.
On the Confederate side, Beauregard met with his generals and decided that a retreat was needed; but he would feign an attack first before pulling out of the city.
Virginia - Peninsula Campaign
McClellan with the Army of the Potomac remains in front of Richmond. President Lincoln is again worried for the safety of Washington DC. He is encouraging McClellan to move forward quickly, or abandon the Peninsula Campaign and return to the defense of the capital.
