Published as Railroad Edition. Printed on smaller size paper. Partial reprint of an article from the New Orleans correspondent of the "New York Times," says "Although the cotton crop is naarly [sic] a total failure, the laborers are being employed throughout the department ... Excepting a few crops, which were planted early, there will be but little cotton realized in this department." Takes on comments made by the "Milledgville Union," that the "Daily Wanderer" is too excited about reconstruction, saying "In our opinion there never was a more useless and unnecessary labor performed. Reconstruction at present is impossible. If every man,,[sic] woman and child in the Southern Confederacy were in favor of going back into the Union, as we were before the war commenced, the Abolition party North would not receive us. They believe it is their mission to destroy us root and branch, as Joshua destroyed the Canaanites." Summary of the latest presidential message (7 November 1864) goes from front page to second page. Second page was not printed correctly and some words are cut off.
