Readers are shown a critical pamphlet on patriotism amid war, noting a Baton Rouge crowd praising bloodshed while evading enlistment. The dispatch from Vicksburg recounts a gunboat encounter with the Arkansas, including grappling, boarding attempts, and damage to Carondelet, with fleet engagements and reflections on Union strategy and European opinion.
Fragmentary reportage maps a heated political climate with references to infernal Republicans, a split in the party, and anticipated campaigns for Governor and United States Senator.
