Veterans of 18th Indiana Speak of Home and War

The author mocks wartime promises and Warren, and ends with assorted short notes on a steamboat spectacle and a barber’s unexpected hair revival.

Important Decision On Confiscation Act Case
In the United States Circuit Court Judge Davis reversed a lower ruling on a libel under the Confiscation Act of 1861 involving two Second-hand Steam Engines.
