Southern Illustrated News, May 30, 1863. From the front cover, a large engraving, “Commodore French Forrest, CS Navy” surrounded by his biography. Also, from the interior, a full column headed: "The Times" which reports on the latest news from the various war fronts. Some bits include: "Recent events in Mississippi have not advantaged the Confederate arms...Dates & places now become uncertain. there was a fight at Bayou Pierre, wherever that is, which did not terminate in our favor. Grant pushed forward in the direction of Jackson...On the morning of the 15th he attacked Pemberton...The sum total of this jumbled intelligence is that we have been outnumbered & beaten at every point...Morgan has driven the enemy across the Cumberland river...The Third North Carolina Cavalry had a desperate skirmish with the enemy in Isle of Wight County...All quiet on the Rappahannock..."
