TOWN HALL COLLAPSES: ACCIDENT OR ATTACK?
January 20, 1864
At approximately nine o'clock this morning, your humble correspondent has been witness of the shocking event that few in the town could have failed to notice: Suddenly, the solid looking town hall building collapsed into itself, producing a quite great amount of noise and dirt. No casualities or serious injuries have been reported so far, as nobody seemed to be inside at the time of the collapse. Why the building failed is not yet known.
Speculations were made to a possible attack, or an act of vandalism, connected to an unconfirmed sighting of possibly deserted soldiers. However, this is unlikely, as the town offers neither stragetic nor financial value.
If you, gentle reader, happen to have more information on this highly interesting case, please feel invited to step forward and keep our readership updated on this matter.

Novemeber 22, 1863
After the Advance of General LEE was stopped at Gettysburg and his troops chased back to Richmond,

However, it now appears that the rebel forces are trying to launch a new attack before the winter.
US Federal sources inside the rebel army have reported that Lee held an impressive speech,
promising that Washington D.C. would be in Confederate hands by the end of the next month.
