Humors of Henderson the Actor in a Comic Tomb Prank
A late Mirror tale recounts Henderson and fellow players plotting harmless jests. They bury him in a coffin as a prank and he awakes to mock solemnity. The gang then ribs him with staged blunders during The Lady and the Devil, causing uproar and sneezing fits as the prank spirals. The piece ends with a note on origin of various plants and foods.

The Petersburg Intelligencer argues there is no South faction seeking disunion, condemns Northern presses for slander, and cites Southern meetings showing unified support for Union and rights against emancipation, while criticizing misrepresentation by the Richmond Enquirer and Northern presses. It notes strong Southern press concord, and calls for sober defense of state rights.
