Prints the Emancipation proclamation on page four. This is among the early printings of the Proclamation in a newspaper. Other news includes the Battle of Murfreesboro with map, attack on Vicksburg, and other Civil War news. Includes article on U.S. relations with Mexico.
Charles Eberstadt's bibliography of the Emancipation Proclamation (New Colophon, 2d Series, 1950) notes the first printings on January 2 and the difficulties of Greeley's Tribune and Raymond's Times in getting it printed before the 3rd (see Eberstadt, pp. 322, 324).
