The article condemns General Canby’s murder by Modoc Indians on the 14th and calls for swift retaliation. It extols Canby’s career from Florida and Mexican wars to the Gulf command, praises his honesty, and recounts his reform of corruption in the Department of the Gulf. It notes public anger and distrust of peace commissioners and mentions Canby’s height, demeanor, and visitors to his office. It also references lurid wartime gossip about Generals Banks and Canby and includes side notes on the Wabash River flood, apocalyptic forecasts, and local business notices.
A column extols the durability of the Democratic party after national defeats and local wins, then shifts to rebukes of a Evansville Journal coincidence claim about Edwin Booth and Lincoln, followed by remarks on Napoleon’s finances and the Empress Eugenie, questioning motives and integrity. The piece weaves party faith, media bias, and historical figures into a provocative critique.
