Gen. Bragg's congratulatory order. This issue reports the results of the electoral college electing Jefferson Davis and Alexander H. Stephens as president and vice president of the Confederacy. Various reports describe the state of war events at Pensacola, Paducha, Bowling Green, and Missouri. The issue contains a report from the Richmond Dispatch with the details of Colonel M. Cogswell, a prisoner of war. An article from the Knoxville Register describes the necessity of preparing for a feared Southern blockade by buying a crop of hogs, and another article describes the fear of a Mississippi River blockade. Mrs. John R. Stanford of Clarksville, GA, has presented President Jefferson Davis with a fine wool shawl she made, indicating the South's growing independence of foreign looms. Ink is fading.
