Southern Illustrated News, April 18, 1863. From the front cover, a full page engraving, “"Brigadier-General James J. Archer" with a biography on the interior. Also on page 2 is a column headed: "The Times" which reports the latest events in the War, in part "...Col. Wm. Tabb...dashed into Williamsburg...drove out the Yankee garrison, which greatly outnumbered his won force, cut down several of the fugitives, took a few prisoners, secured a Yankee mail...and retired leisurely without loss...The Yankee journals...say the Yazoo expedition is a complete failure & that the whole programme for the capture of Port Hudson has been deranged...Skirmishing between the armies of Bragg & Rosecranz are of daily occurrence...General Morgan met with a repulse at Liberty...The Yankees at Corinth are preparing for either a raid or an evacuation...the long expected attack on Charleston commenced..." On the back page, a very scarce political cartoon showing two slaves in the rain. One has a hat the other doesn’t. In dialect they exchange a few comments closing with “Go away nigger! Dis chile knows what he’s doing. Dis head ‘longs to Massa, but de hat ‘longs to me!”
