Not only a nice Confederate newspaper, but one from the capital of the Confederacy.
Page 2 has a lengthy editorial which has near the beginning: "It is feared that those worthy persons who have packed up their spoons & prepared their souls for the storm, sack and conflagration of Richmond, as foretold by McClellan...will have to provide themselves with a considerable stock of patience. For every day increases the probability of the report that McClellan has betaken himself to his spade..." with much more.
Also on page 2: "Movements & Spirit of the War" with subheads: "Latest from Island No. Ten--The Enemy's Fire Against Fort Pulaski--Interesting From Nashville--Great Defection in the Yankee Army & Great Losses by Disease & Desertion--Our Army In New Mexico" and a bit more.
