Also on the front page: "Notes Of The War" with subheads including: "From the South Carolina Coast--Federal Exploits on the Potomac--Shelling a House at Night--A Whole Family Driven out in the Snow". The front page also has several Acts from the Confederate Congress, as well as advertisements.
Page 2 has a great deal of reporting on the Civil War, from the Confederate perspective, with items headed: "The Latest Northern News--Movements & Spirit of the War--Lincoln to Be Superseded--The Burnside Expedition--The Health of General McClellan--A Federal Foraging Expedition--An Entire Division of the Army Out--Affairs of the Lower Potomac" and other subheads. Also: "Blockade of the Potomac", "What Is 'Treason?' ", "What The Spies Are Doing", "The New Gunboats--What the Navy Department Is Doing", "Confederate Suicide"  and some smaller items.

Four pages with a full banner masthead, never bound nor trimmed (desired), a minor archival mend to pg. 2 which is almost unnoticeable, very nice condition.
