The piece contrasts French politics with American democratic maturity and condemns military over civil power in the United States.

Among yesterday's Confederate arrivals is Lieut Henry McLaughlin of an Alabama regiment, brother of Lt Col John A McLaughlin of the Forty-seventh Indiana.

The notice mentions Union and Loyal Leagues and a Kansas loyalty controversy, with humorous allusions to lapses of duty and a mounted incident in Leavenworth.
