I noticed an article describing towed artillery via steam tractor or even steam powered self-propelled artillery.

That is the stuff of steampunk:

"Editorial: The Road to the Capital – 4"

Again for DiogenesLamp's benefit I read this editorial which complains about Baltimore's refusal to let railroad lines connect from New York to Washington, DC.
Now here, if ever, there was a need for DiogenesLamp's alleged "Northeastern Power Brokers" to step in and complete the railroad connections to Washington, this is the time, but apparently it's not happening.

So maybe those New York financial interests are not quite as powerful as DL wants us to think?

However, never fear, this is not a problem with the Confederacy which has the same situation as Baltimore in Richmond, Virginia.
As with Baltimore, Richmond railroads don't connect with each other.
But our eagle-eyed editors have noticed that "despotic" Confederates have ordered their Richmond railroad lines be connected and... lo and behold... it's happening right away.

Who knew?
It seems that among Confederate President Jefferson Davis' first actions was to make Richmond railroads run on time.
He may be the first, but won't be the last such.

"Important from Cairo, Ill. – 3-4"

Another reported Confederate threat against Cairo, Illinois.
It will not be the last, indeed, invasion of Illinois is one of Jefferson Davis' pet ideas and will not completely disappear until the Confederacy does.
