[Homer_J_Simpson]

The steamship Ocean Queen, P.E. TERRY, Commander, from New-Orleans 11th, and Southwest Pass the morning of the 12th, arrived yesterday morning. She brings a number of passengers, a large mail, and New-Orleans papers to the 11th inclusive. On the passage down the Mississippi River, on the 11th, A.D. WELD, of Boston, Acting Assisting Paymaster, United States Navy, last attached to the United States steamer John P. Jackson, died. His remains were interred on the west bank, three miles above the head of the passes. His relatives can receive further information by addressing Capt. P.E. TERRY, steamer Ocean Queen. Among the passengers by the Ocean Queen is PIERRE SOULE, formerly United States Minister to Spain, and one of the leading spirits of the rebellion. He was sent on here by Gen. BUTLER by orders from Washington. [???] MAZUREAN, a wealthy merchant of New-Orleans, and also a leading rebel, accompanied him as a prisoner.

Wonder what “Polygamy and the new rebellion”was about?

[Homer_J_Simpson]

Read it on pages 5-6, just like it says in the ping post. Or here in the NY Times archives => https://www.nytimes.com/1862/06/19/archives/polygamy-and-a-new-rebellion.html?searchResultPosition=1
