Front cover features stories of “Military Executions at Camp Chase”, and an illustration of “Champ Ferguson and His Guard.” [A vicious Confederate partisan guerrilla, Ferguson was being tried and would eventually be hung, the only other Confederate besides Captain Wirz whom Union authorities would execute for war crimes.]

Lee’s appointment at President of Washington College in Lexington, VA; titled “A Perfect Model,” piece stating that Lee was a soldier “educated by his country, who, confessing that he nor any man had provocation, drew his sword to stab her to the heart……This is the “Grand and Heroic” character which American youth are invoked to venerate. They will obey the summons when they have learned to admire Benedict Arnold.”
