Battle notes and heroic sketches from Ball's Bluff
An aged account recalls Ball's Bluff with stories of a wounded soldier refusing to quit, a private losing both legs yet continuing to fire, and an officer’s brave push across the river. It adds a vivid image of a sergeant and Jorgeson’s wounded stand, then shifts to a London Daily News editorial arguing Northern material strength and finance under the war.

Cleveland and Detroit Steamer Incident and Contraband Seizure
A scene aboard a Cleveland Detroit steamer morning revealed a gentleman and a lady, both about sixty, carrying six to ten large trunks searched by U.S. Marshal and assistant. They contained revolvers, ammunition, letters, and a large amount of contraband of war. The Marshal seized the baggage, detained the travelers, and arranged tickets for Boston, with their supposed destination Maine or Missouri via Detroit. Reports state they intended to reach Missouri by river. an arrest followed only upon arrival in Cleveland. Additional notes mention volunteers from Iowa and New York figures lost at St. Louis, and press chatter about political stances and regional travel, including Cedar Rapids and Benton sections.
