The Battle at Fredericksburg, Battle of Kinston. An editorial proposes raising state troops. A report of the arrest of Rev. R.J. Graves provokes discussion of the injustice of civil arrest, unlawful seizing of property, and corrupt powers vested in the Confederacy. A list of the North Carolina Methodist Episcopal Conference appointees is included, as are notices and lists of sick, wounded, and dead soldiers in particular campaigns. Letters to the editor cover topics such as support for the Governor, the state's Brigadier General, post office thieves, women's call for peace, and the cotton-burning order of Maj. Gen. French.
