4 1/4" x 20 1/2", The Daily Delta (Louisiana), Third Edition, Monday, July 22, 186, 4 P.M. Excellent content broadside announcing the Confederate victory over the Union forces at the Battle of Manassas, also known as The First Battle of Bull Run. The battle, which took place the day before on July 21, was only 30 miles from Washington, DC. The battle was a Confederate victory over the ill - prepared Union forces.

The extra has excellent content, reading: "Receipt of the News of the Defeat North....Terrible Depression Caused....Washington Overspread With Gloom....Capture of Four Federal Batteries And Eight Siege Guns". It also announces the deaths of Colonel Wilcox and Captain Cook, and "Wagons Continually Arriving at Washington with the Dead and Wounded....". It goes on to have more good news for the Confederates, including "Of the celebrated Ellsworth New York Fire Zouaves only two hundred are left from the slaughter. The 69th and other New York regiments suffered frightfully....". It was a devastating loss for the Union Forces, and bolstered the moral of the Confederates, especially with the battle being so close to Washington, DC.
