February 13, 1863
DAILY RICHMOND EXAMINER, Virginia, February 13, 1863 Not only is this a nice newspaper from the Confederacy, but it is from the Confederate capital, so not surprisingly the back page has much reporting from the Confederate Congress.
The front page has various local items, reports from "The Courts" including: "Lewis, slave of Wm. Greener, was charged with stealing thirty dollars from William Page..." with details; also: "City Intelligence" which has an article: "The Negro Market" which reflects upon the more active market in slave sales since Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.
Also on the front page is: "The Revolution In The West" being a dispatch from Mobile which notes: "...The Louisville Journal says Lincoln is crazy or mad, and begs him to rescind his emancipation proclamation. It further says: There soldiers will not fight side by side with negroes...". And also on the front page: "Additional From the North--More of the Naval Affair Off Charleston--The Enemy's Designs Against Charleston".
Page two includes the interesting editorial, which begins: "The telegraph furnishes one of those news which are generally described as important, if true. The Western States & Federal Army have been brought to the brink of revolution by the Negro Enlistment Law and the Emancipation Proclamation..." with much more.
Much of the back page is taken up with recent reports from: "The Confederate Congress" as well as discussions from the: "Virginia Legislature".
Complete as a single-sheet newspaper in great condition.
