The Kentucky Feud, Correspondence Between State & Confederate Authorities.
Correspondence between Kentucky state officials and Confederate leaders is printed here, with letters describing the relationship between Tennessee and Kentucky. Two articles describe the seizure of shipments including sugar, salt, and clothing, in effort to protect against speculation, while another article examines domestic manufacture and another suggests substitutes for coffee.
Originally the Raleigh Register, the paper started printing a semiweekly version in 1823, which ran through 1830. From 1830 to 1839, the paper was not printed, but resumed again in 1840 through 1868. The paper was associated with the Weekly Raleigh Register, the Daily Raleigh Register or Daily Register, North Carolina Weekly Advertiser, North Carolina Gazette, and State Gazette.
The paper was edited by John W. Syme and Hall, named Printers of the North Carolina Convention in 1861 and 1862. Syme was also editor and proprietor of the Daily Intelligencer.
