Negro Mechanics, Reform Under Our New Government, Supplies Stopped - Let Us Make Our Own, The Richmond Factory. An editorial criticizes the Yankees for not seeing the value of Southern agriculture, particularly the supply and demand of food in terms of the Southern cotton market. Another editorial examines reform under the new government, and a letter to the editor discusses "Negro mechanics." A reprinted article from the Columbia Guardian examines potential benefits of the war for Southern agriculture and economy.
