The Coward Floyd Captured!

A dispatch has been received from Cairo that the news has been received that Floyd the traitor, the coward and the thief, and the 5,000 rebels who accompanied him in his flight from Fort Donelson, have been captured by the Federal forces that went after them.

This is the best news yet.  This makes the number of our prisoners 20,000. – Chicago Journal, 17th inst.

– Published in The Davenport Daily Gazette, Davenport, Iowa, Wednesday Morning, February 19, 1862, p. 1
