"The First Victory – 13"

By which they mean, of course, the first Union victory.
They don't mention Confederate victories over the Star of the West, or the surrender of Fort Sumter.

Rather, they claim a Union victory at the Union arsenal in Harper's Ferry, in preventing Confederates from taking over the weapons & machinery kept there.
History does not confirm this first report, rather says Confederates were successful in seizing the arsenal's weapons-making equipment and transporting it to the Richmond Armory where it served the Confederacy.

The first actual Union victory, in West Virginia, is still over a month away, and will make George McClellan famous.

"Editorial: How to End the War – 12-13"

Our editors suggest the war will end quickly if the Union will just purchase abroad 500 rifled cannons, 200,000 mini-rifles and as many armed steamships as possible.

Perhaps wiser investments would have been 200,000 Sharps rifles (@$30 each), made in Philadelphia & Hartford and instead of foreign cannons, a new-fangled contraption being invented by a North Carolinian living in Indianapolis, a 44 year old medical doctor by the name of Richard Jordan Gatling.

"Affairs in Georgia – 15"

And here it is again: New York will join the Confederacy!

"Our informant says that it was the universal belief in Savannah that New York City would take up arms against the Government.
It was currently reported that [New York Mayor] Fernando Wood was raising a regiment for the Southern service, and they counted confidently upon the support of all the men of wealth and of influence here..."

There again, sir, are your "Northeastern Power Brokers", eager, supposedly, to preserve their "money flows from Europe" by allying with Confederates and attacking the Union!
