The front page has: "Peace" beginning: "The Local has not abated one particle of his hopes of an early peace. What does it signify that our State commissioners have returned from Richmond & accomplished nothing?..." with more.
The back page includes; "The Habeas Corpus Bill" 'Porter's Report of the Evacuation of Fort Caswell and Other Works" "Treason in Charleston" "General Scott's Opinion of Gen. Taylor" and over half a column headed: "Report of Our Commissioners--Congressional" which is prefaced by a letter to ehe Confederate Congress signed in type: Jefferson Davis.
