Haldeman, Walter N., 1821-1902 Louisville daily courier. [No. 11 (October 25, 1861)]

Pro-South newspaper published by Green & Co., publishing and sale agents in Nashville, Tennessee. Edited by Robert McKee and Haldeman. Mention of imprisonment of P. Phillips Family in Washington and of American-British correspondence over imprisonment of British nationals. States that "Northern opposition to the administration is hushed in the Bastiles of the tyrant. It is deemed a crime to condemn the monstrous usurpations of Abraham the infamous." Reference to an address by John C. Breckenridge to the people of Kentucky. Page 2 is filled with correspondence between Haldeman and Dr. T.S. Bell of the "Louisville Journal." Page 3 references a Confederate victory on the banks of the Potomac and also a general action at Yorktown, Virginia. Blurb about John Brown Jr. forming a regiment in Kansas at end of page 3. Page 4 has a reprint of an Edward Everett letter on Russia from the "New York Ledger." Includes numerous cals for Confederate Army recruits.

Confederate edition of the Louisville Courier, printed in exile from Union-occupied Louisville. Editor states he has moved to Bowling Green to be near Confederate forces fighting "King" Lincoln's invading troops. (Confederate forces had invaded Kentucky in September. The state split in half, with pro-Confederates moving southward, where they set up a new state government and voted for secession.)
