Emancipation sparks Republican quarrels and order in Mississippi

A Confederate era summary notes emancipation policy failing to free enslaved people and causing chaos. It cites General Halleck ordering removal of contrabands from Natchez after April 1, 1864 to curb health risks. The piece contrasts Republican press reaction with Cincinnati papers praising harsh labor policies and reports from Red River operations.

Battles of Mansfield and Pleasant Hill Across Western Louisiana

Confederate readers recount the Mansfield and Pleasant Hill clashes April 1864 near Shreveport using Manston Telegraph material. The battles, led by General Taylor and Green with Mouton, Churchill, Walker and Polignac, yield heavy casualties and 2,000 prisoners. The account notes 6,000 killed or wounded, 220 wagons of stores, 400 minates, 35 ambulances, and strategic effects including possible evacuation of Western Louisiana and relief for Arkansas. The report credits Taylor and dubs the victory the greatest west of the Mississippi, while detailing command movements and postbattle pursuit across the fields toward the Red River.
