A narrative portrays a family near a humble fireside sharing warmth and hymns while a weary visitor recalls harsh days. The old man begs for shelter and food as children sleep, and the narrator reflects on duty, sacrifice, and prayer as night deepens.
The Secretary reports on military strength, procurement, and logistics as of mid 1861, detailing trooops in service, volunteer calls, and state participation. It notes secession actions, seized depots, rail and telegraph control, and calls for Congress to authorize rail reconstruction, military tribunals, and expanded subsistence and supply provisions for troops.
A reading public notice debunks claims that Henry Carey authored God Save the King. It states the lyrics and music are French in origin, credited to Madame de Brinon and Lully, tied to Louis XIV’s St. Cyr visit, with Handel possibly copying later. The piece also notes military rank insignia and a brief local item about whiskey pricing and a cartoon caption.
