Southern States Peace Views from Lincoln to Davis
The Dubuque Herald weighs President Davis’s letter to Georgia and other Southern officials on peace negotiations. It argues the Federal government must recognize the Confederacy to permit talks, but predicts a peace path only through a negotiated settlement by a joint commission or by complete conquest, with heavy taxation on the lower and middle classes to fund the war.

New Conscription Bill Sparks Heated Debate
The New Conscription B13 bill pushed by Mr. Schenck through the Military Committee of the Elonse promises strict penalties for failure to enroll. It fines noncompliers $100, requires Provost Marshal reporting, and assigns substitutes who desert back to the enrollment list.
