Hill's regiment captured by the Yankees as a spy, with interesting details as to how he escaped. The back page has much reporting on the Civil War.
The top has: "The War In Georgia" which begins. The crisis admits of no delay. Now is the time to crush Sherman's army... From Hood's army we have nothing. We fear the truth is that Hood is powerless & unable to move even in Sherman's wake.If the Yankee army marches through Georgia...
