NEW YORK HERALD, Feb. 4, 1862 Among the front page column heads on the Civil War are: "The Burnside Expedition" "Heavy Cannonading in the Vicinity of Beaufort" "Heavy Firing Near Norfolk" "News From the South" "The Southern Women & Children to Turn Incendiaries" "The Rebels Furious Over the Stone Blockade" and much more.
Also of interest is: "The Slave Trade - The Case of Captain Nathaniel P. Gordon of the Slaver Erie". This was a very famous case, as Gordon, an American slave trader, was the only person in the United States to be tried, convicted, and executed by the federal government for having "engaged in the slave trade" under the Piracy Law of 1820.
Eight pages, nice condition.
