Camp Cairo Illinois.
Weather cold. Glorious News, Two of our Gun Boats returned this morning bearing
the Rebel Flags captured at Fort Henry. The respective loss is not yet
ascertained. One of our Boats in the parts not ironed got pretty badly
splintered up. One of the Rebel Gens. was also captured.
