The American publisher and politician Benjamin Wood (1820-1900) was the brother of U.S. Congressman and New York City Mayor Fernando Wood.

He was able to re-open the paper in 1863 and printed personal columns which the War Department claimed were used by Confederate spies to send coded communication to Confederate forces.
