Also: "From North Georgia" "From the Valley" "From Trans-Mississippi" and other smaller items.
The back page has Civil War content as well including a lengthy editorial, plus also reports from: "The Confederate Congress" "Very Latest From the North" "Commutation of Salaries" "and other items.
Complete as a single sheet newspaper with a one column masthead, rather common from the South late in the war as most of the paper mills were in the North. In great condition.
