NEW YORK TIMES, March 14, 1863  Among the front page column heads are: "News From Washington" "Secretary Chase in New York to Negotiate a Loan" "Reports of a Refugee From Charleston" "The Negro Pickets on the Rappahannock" "Important From Alabama - Wayne County Full of Unionists  and Deserters".
Wayne County was part of a broader southeast Alabama area known for harboring deserters and Union sympathizers, often referred to as “tories.” Many men abandoned their posts and went into hiding in the dense piney woods or rural backcountry, where they sometimes formed armed bands to resist Confederate authorities. This created a tense environment in Wayne County and surrounding areas, where families were often divided in their loyalties and Confederate control weakened, illustrating how internal dissent deeply undermined the Southern war effort.
The back page has: "Reported Fight on the Yazoo--7,000 Rebel Prisoners & 8 Transports Captured" "Rumored Capture of Forts Henry and Donelson" "The Bombardment of Fort McAllister".
Eight pages, nice condition.
