Delaware Lottery Debate Echoes in Public Letters
Long letters recount battles over the 1859 lottery bill in Delaware. The writer criticizes editors and politicians, defends support for the lottery, denounces Know Nothings and Republicans, and pledges to expose party frauds. References to Frederica, Naudain, France and Broadbent, and Dover politics frame a broader struggle over party loyalties and tariffs.

Debating Motives and Silence in a Newspaper Exchange
In a charged exchange from the EXAMINER, a writer challenges motives and secrecy, accusing the other of puffery and misrepresentation. The dialogue critiques logic and claims of hidden influences, while urging restraint and focus on disputing points without sarcasm.
Miramon retreat near Vera Cruz as Liberals surround capital
News from Vera Cruz reports Miramon retreating with his main army encamped near Madeline nine miles from the city. Liberal forces, led by Degalledo and Ampudia, close in to trap him with Tacubaya and other forces, while the capital awaits surrender. Amid public jubilation in Vera Cruz, Juarez government hopes US recognition follows Miramon’s retreat. A California divorce case involves Caroline Wand suing David Wand over religion and cruelty, with a child raised Christian and fears of Jewish upbringing. The U.S. Steamer Fulton’s fate and a local Memphis duel add to the mixed dispatches.

Cold feet cure and old newspapers relics
A 19th century remedy advises placing both feet in cold water to the ankles, rubbing dry, and warming by the fire before bed to ensure sound sleep. It recommends woolen stockings and warns against bare feet on uncarpeted floors. The piece then extols preserving old newspapers as windows into the era, valuing their aging like wine. It notes dangers in a fugitive slave case and lauds a serenade for a lawyer who prosecuted.
