In 1860, prices for papers in the South would have been very similar to the North. By 1864 there was inflation in the Confederacy, but not so much in the North where finances were sound. I can't find a Richmond 1860 newspaper front page that shows the price, but I'd guess it was no more than 4 cents.
Harper's Weekly was noted for illustrations which would make it a bit pricier as a weekly.

Answer 2

5 cents for the Harper's Weekly, which was published once a week.
