CENTRAL GEORGIAN, Sandersville, Georgia, June 5, 1861 * Confederate title from the Civil War * The Lincoln Administration In our over 30 years in the rare newspaper business this is the very first time we have ever had a newspaper from this small Georgia town, current population less than 7,000. The ftpg. has a bigoted report headed "A Colored Scene on the Road to Washington" (see photos), which is followed by a report headed: "A Big Gun Fight" which includes: "...speculating upon the timing of the opening of the fire upon Fort Pickens, says: 'But commence when it will, I don't think I risk much in saying that in 60 hours after the first gun is fired there will not be a Yankee left in Fort Pickens...". Pg. 2 has a wealth of reports concerning the Civil War including: "The Washington Rifles at Home" "Tariff of the Confederate States" "Farmers and the Confederate Loan" "Doctors of Georgia" "The Fight at Acquia Creek" which includes: "The ball has been opened by the Lincoln government in this section of Virginia..." with more on the battle (see photos). A short report is headed: "The Fight at Fairfax", and "Seizure of a British Vessel" Other items include: "The Southern Soldiers" "Unusual Patriotism" "A Warning to Our Enemies" "Reported Purchase of Arms for the South in Birmingham" "Tariff of the Confederate States" and "Patriotism in Baldwin" and likely other tidbits. Most of the bkpg. is taken up with ads. The very top of the front leaf has a 3/4 by 1 1/2 inch piece removed, not close to any text or ink. Complete in 4 pgs., a few ink smears on the ftpg. only, generally in very nice, clean condition.

THE TRI-WEEKLY TELEGRAPH, Houston, Texas, Aug. 3, 1863  Confederate newspaper from Texas are exceedingly rare and we've only had a small number in our 33 years. This is one of the earlier issues we have had. Although the condition is poor the content is terrific. The front page has a great amount of reporting on the Civil War including much on Gettysburg, with items headed: "Letter from Alexandria" "Gen. Meade To His Army" "Proclamation by the Governor to the People of the State of Texas" ", a letter signed in type by: W. T. Sherman; a note: "The President To His Country" signed: Abraham Lincoln" which is concerning the victory at the battle of Gettysburg. There are also several additional reports concerning the battle of Gettysburg, portions of which can be seen in the photos. More Civil War reporting on the bkpg. as well. This is a single sheet newspaper of folio size. There are many tears, much irregularity (with loss) at the margins, old tape mends improperly done, a small piece from near the middle, etc. The photos give a good sense as to the poor condition. But the content is terrific & much is unaffected by the condition (see). A rare opportunity not only for a Texas Confederate newspaper, but with great content and at a low price due to the condition.

THE DAILY DELTA, New Orleans, Louisiana, November 5, 1861  * Rare confederate issue from the deep South  * News from Richmond  Truly Confederate newspapers from New Orleans are very difficult to find, as Admiral Farragut entered the mouth of the Mississippi in mid-April, 1862 and finally took New Orleans on April 28. Shortly thereafter Benjamin Butler moved in and took control of the city, it surrendering without a fight. So "Confederate" issues from New Orleans are limited to those published between Louisiana's secession from the Union on January 26, 1861 and the end of April, 1862, just a brief 15 month period. Front page has: "Latest From Richmond" "The Forces of the Great Naval Expedition" "One Thousand Contraband Negroes with it" "Supposed Destination" "Gen. Sherman In Command" "His Headquarters to be on the Atlantic". Front page also has a report: "A Valuable Slave Killed". Page 2 has: "Important From Washington" "Resignation of Scott Cameron and Seward" "McClellan Refuses to Obey Lincoln's Order". First leaf has a round hole in the lower margin, has a non-archival pieces of tape in the lower margins of page 2 and the back page, lite damp staining in the lower left corner, bit of lite foxing.

THE TRI-WEEKLY TELEGRAPH, from Houston, Texas, dated July 10, 1863 * Very rare Confederate issue from the Southwest A very rare Confederate newspaper, particularly so from Southern Texas. This is a single sheet newspaper and much of it is filled with various Civil War reports, too much to mention all the articles here, but we include many photos showing some of the text. Some of the articles are headed: "Late News" "Letter from Alexandria" "Later" "Letter from New Iberia" "Correspondence Relating to the Civil War in the United States of North America" "Gen. T. J. Chambers" "The Situation" "Letter from Louisiana" "Items of Interest" plus some reporting on events in Vicksburg, and more. Complete as a single sheet newspaper of folio size. There are various tears which have been archivally mended on the back page which causes no loss of text, and there is essentially no loss of paper due to the wear. Apparently never trimmed as the margins are rather wide. Various foxing and some light water staining. A very rare opportunity for a early Confederate newspaper from Texas.

SUNDAY DELTA, New Orleans, Louisiana, January 19, 1862  * Rare title from the deep South * Confederate original Truly Confederate newspapers from New Orleans are very difficult to find, as Admiral Farragut entered the mouth of the Mississippi in mid-April, 1862 and finally took New Orleans on April 28. Shortly thereafter Benjamin Butler moved in and took control of the city which surrendered without a fight. So "Confederate" issues from New Orleans are limited to those published between Louisiana's secession from the Union on January 26, 1861 and the end of April, 1862, just a brief 15 month period. Front page items include: "What the Morning Journals Say" "Letter from Baton Rouge" "Gleanings" "Gov. Morgan's Message" and more. Pg. 2 items include; "Death of Ex-President Tyler" "Movements of Yankee Fleets" "State Secrets" and more.  Page 3 is mostly taken up with ads as is page 4, although it does include; "A Reminiscence of the Missouri Campaign" Among the front page ads is an illustrated one for; "Negroes For Sale" (see) and pg. 3 has an illus. ad for: "Ranaway--The slave woman Elizabeth...". The back page includes 20 illustrated ship ads. Complete in 4 pages, irregular at the spine margin with minor loss.

The front page is almost entirely taken up with literary articles. Page 2 has some reports on the Civil War with small heads including: * Hancock Volunteers * Law and Order * Military Notice * Important From Arkansas * The Killed at Winchester * Engagement Near Winchester and more. Most of pg. 3 &  the back page are taken up with ads including a page 3 ad for: "Negroes Wanted...Likely Negroes..." and a "$10 Reward" ad for a runaway Negro man, with details. The very top of the front leaf has a 1/2 by 1 1/2 inch piece removed, not close to any text or ink. At one point the paper suffered ink stains which have since eaten through the paper in two locations (see photos), while in other places the stains are small & caused no damage. Complete in 4 pages & some foxing at the spine.

THE DAILY DELTA, New Orleans, April 18, 1862 * Rare Confederate title from the deep South * General Beauregard address to the rebels Truly Confederate newspapers from New Orleans are very difficult to find, as Admiral Farragut entered the mouth of the Mississippi in mid-April, 1862 and finally took New Orleans on April 28. Shortly thereafter Benjamin Butler moved in and took control of the city, it surrendering without a fight. As a result, "Confederate" issues from New Orleans are limited to those published between Louisiana's secession from the Union on January 26, 1861 and the end of April, 1862, just a brief 15 month period. Notable content includes a ftpg. notice offering a reward for "Deserters" of the "Buckner Avengers". Pg. 2 heads under an engraving of a smoking cannon: "Important From Richmond" "Fighting on the Peninsula" "Repulse of the Enemy" "From Army of the Mississippi" "Gen. Beauregard's Address to the Army" "His Telegraphic Report of the Battle of Shiloh". Address is signed in type: G. T. Beauregard. Also a report about the capture of the Confederate steamship Magnolia by the Brooklyn. Pg. 3 has a sale notice: "Negroes Arrived This Day" and, under "Texas In The Army", is a list of the Texas regiments serving in the war, plus the names of their commanding officers. Pg. 3 has four, small stray pieces of non-archival tape in various ads.

THE DAILY DELTA, Louisiana, February 6, 1862. * Rare Confederate issue * Battle of Fishing Creek * On arming Negroes for the Civil War Truly Confederate newspapers from New Orleans are very difficult to find, as Admiral Farragut entered the mouth of the Mississippi in mid-April, 1862 and finally took New Orleans on April 28. Shortly thereafter Benjamin Butler moved in and took control of the city, it surrendering without a fight. So "Confederate" issues from New Orleans are limited to those published between Louisiana's secession from the Union on January 26, 1861 and the end of April, 1862, just a brief 15 month period. This is a very nice issue as the front page has over 1 1/2 columns taken up with a detailed report headed: "The Battle of Fishing Creek" "Full and Graphic Account Of It". This is followed by another interesting item headed: "Arming The Negroes" which was taken from the New York Herald, and begins: "After a great deal of thought, reading, reflection, meditation and prayer, we have determined to assist Massa Greeley in his pet scheme of arming the n****s..." with much more, full of the bigotry which was rampant at the time (photos below). There are additional front page Civil War reports with heads; "From Lincolndom Via Richmond" "What the Morning Journals Say" and "Dying Confessions" amongst other smaller reports. Much Civil War reporting continues to page 2 where are heads: "Resignation of Gen. Bonham" "Great Disaster to the Burnside Fleet" "Northern Intelligence" "Telegraphed To The Daily Delta" and a bit more. Pages 3 & 4 are entirely taken up with advertisements, the latter including 19 illustrated steamboat ads, as well as an illustrated ad headed: "Ranaway--The slave woman Elizabeth..." with further particulars. There is also an illustrated "Negroes For Sale" ad on pg. 2. Complete in 4 pgs. and in uncommonly nice, clean condition, just slightly irregular at the blank spine margin not affecting any type. Rare & very desirable to find detailed Civil War battles in Confederate newspapers, offering a unique insight into the coverage which often differs from the more common northern reports.

The ftpg. includes a mixture of ads and news, one of the ads is headed: "Negroes For Sale" with a bit of text and two small engravings (see). There is a similar ad on pg. 3 as well. The ftpg. also has: "From the Seat of War In Virginia" and "What the Morning Journals Say" which contains some war-related reports. Also: "A Venerable Hero" and other news tidbits. But perhaps the most interesting ftpg. item is: "Description of the Merrimac" or referred to as "...the Norfolk Turtle..." which has some nice text on this novel, new water craft, and very early as well, being nearly two months before it would become famous in the naval battle against the Yankee's Monitor. Pg. 2 includes: "Women & Children Leaving New Bern" "125 Federal Vessels at Hatteras" "Newbern to be Attacked" "Veto of the Cotton Relief Bill". Some smaller heads include "The War In Kentucky" "From Matamoros" "From Fort Henry" and more. There also nearly a column of "General Orders" concerning the military.  Pg. 3 has both news and ads with the same on pg. 4.  Complete in 4 pgs., even browning throughout, a bit irregular at the spine from disbinding, generally very nice condition.

THE DAILY DELTA, New Orleans, Louisiana, October 26, 1861 * Rare Confederate title * Civil War era original * New Orleans, Louisiana Truly Confederate newspapers from New Orleans are very difficult to find, as Admiral Farragut entered the mouth of the Mississippi in mid-April, 1862 and finally took New Orleans on April 28. Shortly thereafter Benjamin Butler moved in and took control of the city, it surrendering without a fight. So "Confederate" issues from New Orleans are limited to those published between Louisiana's secession from the Union on January 26, 1861 and the end of April, 1862, just a brief 15 month period. Most of the front page has various news reports relating to the Civil War along with two columns of ads as well. Among the ftpg. items on the war are those headed: "The Horrors of the Rebellion" "From the Seat of War in Virginia" "Federal View of the Approaches to New Orleans". The war reports continue on to pg. 2 as well, with: "The Duncan Light Infantry" "Present to Gen. Anderson" "Latest From Richmond" "The Eighth Virginia Regiment" and other smaller reports. Pg. 3 has some news items but is mostly taken up with ads, including nearly a full column of "Military" ads. The bkpg. has many ads as well including a small illustrated ad headed: "Sale Of Negroes" (see). Four pages, slightly irregular at the blank spine margin, light, even foxing throughout, some small, old tape mends at the margins of the back page, generally in very nice condition.

THE NEW SOUTH, Port Royal, South Carolina, November 8, 1862   * Rare Union issue from the Confederacy * Port Royal South Carolina Here is an interesting newspaper established in March of 1862 at Port Royal after its capture by Union forces during the early part of the Civil War. Issued in a military command, the newspaper sought to provide mostly military but no political news for the soldiers, so as not to distract them from their mission which was the suppression of the Rebellion.   It is also interesting that a Union newspaper was published in South Carolina considering the state remained a Confederate stronghold until the end of the war.  Notable content in this volume I (number 12) issue includes a front page military order announcing the death by natural causes of a Union general named O. M. Mitchel, commander of the 10th Army Corps, signed in type: J. M. Brannan. The front page also has: Last Words of Gen. Mitchel and a poem written by an officer in memory of Mitchel. Under The Pocotaligo Expedition is the Official Report of Brig. Gen. J. M. Brannan, which concludes on the reverse, signed in type: J.M. Brannan.  This was a normally a four page paper, but due the non-receipt of paper, as explained on the reverse, this issue was published as a single sheet. Issue measures about 13 by 9 1/8 inches, the front page has minor fold foxing in the upper half, and there is some binding residue at the spine, occasional foxing, otherwise in very good condition.

<div>Here is a unique opportunity for a pair of issues--one Yankee and the other Confederate--of the identical date in 1862-1864, one from the prestigious New York Times, Herald, or Tribune (Yankee) and the other from the Confederate capital of Richmond, titled the Daily Richmond Examiner (Confederate), providing a perspective of how the news was reported with all the "spin" & biases that were rampant on both sides of the border. Given the scarcity of Confederate newspapers such same-date pairings are difficult to find.  The image shown is representative of the issue you will receive, but the exact issues will vary, but be of the same date.</div> <div> </div> <div>An opportunity for a very special addition to any Civil War collection.</div>
