Additional Information This newspaper was commenced by Dr. J.P. Hambleton, on the 15th of February, 1859, and continued until May, 1861, when its title was transferred to Messrs. Hanleiter and Adair. In March, 1861, Mr. G.W. Adair became associated with Mr. Hanleiter in its proprietorship. In May, Dr. Hambleton having discontinued the publication of his paper and transferred its title, etc. to Messrs. Hanleiter and Adair, they adopted, as being more general and appropriate the title of The Southern Confederacy - and associated with themselves as Co-editors, Mr. J.H. Smith, who in June, 1861, purchased Mr. Hanleiter's interest. By July 4th 1861, the paper began using a letter and telegraphic correspondent located at Manassas Junction and other reporters at various points in Virginia. As the Union troops stormed down towards the Chattahoochee, the paper sought quarters in Macon, Georgia, however leaving a small staff in Atlanta to issue hand-bill "Extras" from proof presses. It's last copy was issued on the day the Confederates evacuated the City. So fell the City and the newspaper.
