Standard [Clarksville], Tx, October 19, 1861 In Northern Texas we have the fruits of the earth in abundance. Corn rates at 25 cents per bushel.

Daily Times [Leavenworth, Ks], October 12, 1861 Our attention has been repeatedly called to the alarming increase of degraded women who nightly infest our streets, but as we could not suggest a remedy, we have forborne comment. One of the unfortunate class, who subscribes herself “A Penitent,” has written as follows: The writer is not [...]

Southern Watchman [Athens, Ga], October 9, 1861 Stern necessity compels us to appear before the public this week on a half sheet. It is no fault of ours.

Southern Confederacy [Atlanta, Ga], October 2, 1861 And brown at that. The paper maker has disappointed us. We have made every possible effort to get paper, and have failed. It is not at the mills, or elsewhere within our reach. We have no assurance of paper–even for a half sheet–for tomorrow. We have it promised [...]

Daily Times [Leavenworth, Ks], September 28, 1861 A number of the Iowa Third, on the sick list, were sent here night before last, from Kansas City. A portion of these were afflicted with the measles. The others were received into the hospital at the Fort, but owing to the lateness of the hour and the [...]

Southern Confederacy [Atlanta, Ga], September 28, 1862 Written expressly for the Southern Confederacy. These organizations are springing up thickly around us; nearly every county in the State has one, and some have half a dozen. So far so good — we cannot do too much for our soldiers. But just where there are so many [...]

Southern Confederacy [Atlanta, Ga], September 28, 1861 God bless them! We always love to write, or talk, to and about the dear creatures. The men love you all–this you know. They have told you so a thousand times. But these are war times, and we must give up romancing for a while. We desire a [...]

Arkansas True Democrat [Little Rock], September 26, 1861 We respectfully suggest to the county court of Pulaski county, the propriety, if not the necessity, of levying a tax, under the provisions of the ordinance, of the convention of May 11th and 30th; and to issue county scrip, based upon and anticipating the tax. The families [...]

Arkansas True Democrat [Little Rock], September 26, 1861 Some of the military companies raised during the present war have assumed queer names.—We have “avengers,” “invincibles,” “fencibles,” and “rangers,” without number. In our State we have, or had, a company of “yellow jackets,” another of “hornets” and one called the “sassafras invincibles.” In Texas they have [...]

Richmond Daily Dispatch, September 25, 1861 Forty Negroes wanted immediately — good hands — to aid in saving of Louisiana, above Baton Rouge.

Daily Times [Leavenworth, Ks], September 24, 1861 “When Cleveland Jayhawked Leavenworth, the Times did not even notice the fact as a matter of news. It didn’t dare to speak. One would think from its howl of yesterday that it was really opposed to Jayhawking.”–Conservative. We dare always, to speak for law and a Christian civilization. [...]

Daily Times [Leavenworth, Ks], September 21, 1861 For months the Conservative has been the accredited organ of a system of pillage and plunder known and recognized among bandits as the highest state of civilization. Not content with occupying a superficially equivocal position between law and lawlessness it openly sets all laws and authorities at defiance [...]

Austin State Gazette, September 21, 1861 Within the last week, we think not less than one hundred wagons have passed through our city, engaged in the Flour and Salt trade.

Arkansas True Democrat [Little Rock], September 19 They have a free market at New Orleans–free for the families of those who have volunteered in the war.

Arkansas True Democrat [Little Rock], September 19, 1861 Salt springs are to be found in the counties of Van Buren, Pope, Franklin, Crawford, Hot Spring, Dallas and Sevier.

Arkansas True Democrat [Little Rock], September 19, 1861 A regiment of Arkansas troops, from the southern part of the State, says the Helena Shield, passed up last Sunday, en route for the seat of war, that should properly be styled the Preachers’ Regiment.–The colonel, Bradley, from Pine Bluff, is a Methodist minister, and besides him [...]
