THE DAILY DELTA, New Orleans, April 18, 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, it surrendering without a fight. As a result, "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.

Notable content includes a ftpg. notice offering a reward for "Deserters" of the "Buckner Avengers".

Pg. 2 heads under an engraving of a smoking cannon: "Important From Richmond" "Fighting on the Peninsula" "Repulse of the Enemy" "From Army of the Mississippi" "Gen. Beauregard's Address to the Army" "His Telegraphic Report of the Battle of Shiloh". Address is signed in type: G. T. Beauregard.

Also a report about the capture of the Confederate steamship Magnolia by the Brooklyn.

Pg. 3 has a sale notice: "Negroes Arrived This Day" and, under "Texas In The Army", is a list of the Texas regiments serving in the war, plus the names of their commanding officers. Pg. 3 has four, small stray pieces of non-archival tape in various ads.
