• variant_number: Winchester 09-17
• notes: Nathaniel B. Meade (1828-88) acquired this paper on February 1, 1861, and issued his first number the next day; Beall evidently continued as its editor, as seen in reports published elsewhere during "Stonewall" Jackson's 1862 Valley campaign. Ridenour apparently sold the weekly because of his Unionist sympathies and returned to Hagerstown.
  Federal forces occupied Winchester on March 12, 1862, seizing the offices of both papers published there; noted clergyman & abolitionist Charles Wheeler Denison (1809-81), then chaplain of 10th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment, used Republican's press to publish one number of the "Winchester Republican – New Series" on May 23, 1862; that press was either destroyed or taken away when that unit left Winchester, which prevented Meade from restarting this weekly.
