June 6, 1863, Menphis Daily Appeal (Atlanta, Ga)
The Appeal printing material was principally saved by removal. Our regular issue was made, as usual, on the morning of the day the Federals entered the city, but through the energy of our attaches and the aid of a number of friends, everything essential to the publication of the paper was brought off. We flatter ourselves our “evacuation” was a masterly one–as it was accomplished without loss, notwithstanding a number of shots were fired across Pearl river at our rear guard by the disappointed Yankees.
