An editorial titled "To the Wicked Men of the Nation" contrasts evil with good in terms of war. "In the Hospital, at Midnight" gives a personal account of dying soldiers. An article examines "Marriage," while another defines "Minister's Salaries." Two letters on page 2 ("Revival of the Army of Tennessee" and "Rolanthe's Letter") detail how the paper helped increase religious sentiment in the army. "Notes on the Times" reports on General Burnside's arrival at Alexandria, accounts of Fort Pillow, and Union soldiers attempting to cross the Red River, amongst other items.
