Research on the recipient showed the following:

The Daily Sun was founded in 1855 by Thomas De Wolf as Columbus' first daily newspaper.
De Wolf entered into a partnership with Thomas Gilbert and the two created the Thomas Gilbert & Co. publishing company in 1862.
The daily paper was one of three newspapers being published in Columbus.
In 1858, De Wolf used his paper to support Governor Joseph E. Brown's second term.
Regarding possible secession, the three Columbus papers were divided with the Daily Sun's own editorial board split between secessionists and unionists.
The Sun's biggest rival, the Columbus Enquirer, supported Union-Democrats.
In 1865, the Sun absorbed the Columbus Times but did not change the masthead.

Columbus Times. (Columbus, Ga.) 1864-1865
The Daily Sun. (Columbus, Ga.) 1855-1873

Scott Catalogue notes that Adams Express Company & American Letter Express Company were carriers for across the lines covers. This appears to be a North To South Cover with American Express Company - Quincy Illinois to Adams Express Company - Louisville, Kentucky. Has Anybody seen these express labels for these cities. I note various paid markings in ink anyone know the rates involved - Thanks for your help.

James Drummond is a member of the Stamp Community forum who may have some helpful observations. Maybe he will weigh in.

The definitive catalog of express labels and stamps is this catalog by Bruce Mosher. You can also find additional information about these types of labels.
