Additional Details

A detailed report on Gettysburg fills a column and a half, concluding that "the results of the battle are undoubtedly greatly in favor of the Confederates." Noting a series of religious meetings held for the troops, the article takes solace that "many who fell upon the bloody field of Gettysburg, had made a profession of religion, but a short time prior to the battle." Also included is a lengthy article on Stonewall Jackson.
