One issue of the Daily chronicle & sentinel dated September 22, 1863. Includes articles of a letter from the newly-elected governor of Alabama who dispels rumors of his supposedly reconstructive agenda, reports from Virginia, north Georgia, trans-Mississippi, north Alabama, and Tennessee that give indications of the war and its impact on the surrounding areas. Also printed is a special notice of a grievance that the George Railroad Company supplies Black employees with meat and money because they believe these men will be tempted to steal. Contains articles listing the names of enslaved people who ran away seeking emancipation. One ad sought the return of an enslaved man named Albert. Another ad sought a 30-year-old enslaved man named Jim Dawson.
