Lee--Rosecranz Mortally Wounded--Defeat of the Federal Army" "From Kentucky--Hopkinsville Taken by General Buckner--Large Quantity of Arms, etc. Captured..." "The Army of the Potomac" "From Missouri--the Capture of Lexington confirmed--the Legislature Removed There" "A Female Spy of a Poor Type" "War News & Rumors" "From the Upper Potomac" "Crossing the Line--A Perilous Journey--Maryland" "The Mounted Rangers in the West" "General Wise" "Southern War News" and even more.
