Also known as the "The Richmond Dispatch." Says not much has changed on the front lines of Lee and Grant's armies and that "the tacit truce heretofore existing between the pickets has not been broken by the presence of Butler's's negroes." Update on the Confederate Congress and the South Carolina legislature. Short item from Georgia on "horrors of Sherman's march." Several advertisements for runaways. Editorial against Sherman's march says "we do not hesitate to say that the expedition of Sherman into Georgia is one of the most ridiculous conceptions that ever entered into the mind of man. There was no object that he could possibly gain at all commensurate with the advantages he was certain to lose." Badly damaged -- edges frayed and bottom has a dark stain that might have come from smoke or from burning.
