The back page has: "The Scenes of a Yankee March". Page 3 is entirely taken up with ads and page 2 has a mix of news items and ads, including: "Our Position and Our Defenses" which includes: "...Our brave, wise-headed and wise-hearted General, Robert E. Lee...feels every assurance of his ability to defend Charleston against any force now at the disposal of the enemy..." (see); "Dunovant's Regiment" & other smaller items.
