An article titled "On Dueling" examines the dangers of dueling with a religious context. A brief comment encourages the patriotism and responsibility of participating in the war, while another one promotes peace. A treatise on "Truth" is based on the essays of Lord Bacon. An article (title missing) about baptism of infants draws a reply, concurring that babies do not need baptism. Other articles include a sarcastic joke regarding Lincoln's [preliminary] Emancipation Proclamation, report of Yankees "butchering" slave children, and an essay called "Morally Blind" vilifying Benjamin Butler. About half of page 3, a section called "Secular News" is devoted to war news -- articles in this section include "The Murder of the Black Race" reprinted from the New York World; "The Yankees Admit Their Outrages and Atrocities in North Carolina"; and "Legislature of South Carolina."
