SUNDAY DELTA, New Orleans, Louisiana, February 9, 1862  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.
Most of the first column on page one is taken up with a great article which begins with a quote from the rival "Crescent" newspaper: "The folds of the 'anaconda' are tightening around us whichever way we turn, and a ruthless foe gloats in anticipation over our ruin. Let him gloat...We are not at all alarmed. On the contrary, our confidence in the success of our cause is greater than ever..." with much more (see for portions).  Also on the front page is an excellent letter headed: "To The People of Georgia" (see for portions). Some additional war-related items as well.
Page 2 has another nice item headed: "Beneficence of The Independent South". Also: "Latest From the Kentucky Border", plus a report of: "The Ladies' Society of the Confederate Army" and other war-related items as well.
Page 4 is filled with advertisements including half a column of: "Military" item (see for portions). There are also some slavery-related ads including: "Ranaway--The slave woman Elizabeth..." with details. Also: "Negroes For Sale".
The back page has: "The Money Panic North" and "From The Tennessee River" and "River Intelligence" as well as many illustrated ship ads.
Complete as a 4 page newspaper, light, even foxing, generally in very nice, clean condition with minor binding slits at the spine margin.
