Yankees in a gloomy despondency ?
Item # 694214
February 09, 1864
DAILY RICHMOND EXAMINER, Virginia, Feb. 9, 1864 A nice newspaper from the capital of the Confederacy. Among the front page items are: "Latest From General Lee's Lines--the Fight at the Fords of The Rapid Ann" "The War News--The Enemy at Talleysville" "West Tennessee" "The Invalid Corps" "The Enemy In Florida", a letter from "In Camp, near Dalton, Georgia", and other items.
The back page has the always interesting editorial, this one beginning: "...significant admissions...in....the New York Times which are both instructive & re-assuring. A remarkable change has come over the Yankee mind...that feeling of boastful confidence which buoyed up the enemy with the certainty of a victory already achieved; which pictured the Southern armies as discouraged & falling to pieces, the people as disheartened & suffering, & the country as exhausted, has given place to gloomy despondency & to a melancholy appreciation of the formidable power of resistance which still confronts them...".
Also on the back page is much reporting from "the Confederate Congress", and the "Virginia Legislature", as well as reports headed: "Refugees From Richmond" "The Probable Movement of the Spring Campaign--the Strength of the Two Armies" "Our Prisoners at Johnson's Island..." and "Additional From the North".
Complete as a single sheet newspaper printed on thick-stock newsprint, some dirtiness near the top of the front page, otherwise never bound nor trimmed & in nice condition.
