The Glorksus News


Rarely have We seen more excitement
among the people than We did yesterday.
Rumors were early abroad that Donelson
had been taken, and by 8 o'clock, crowds
were gathered at every corner, eagerly
catching up every new report. And
when the boys started out with our Extra,
there was rush for them. The extras
went off faster than hot cakes New fuel
was added to the excitement when the re-
port came that the Fort and $4,000 pris-
oners were captured. Then came the re-
port of the capture of Savannah, and the
excitement cuiminated. Every body
that is, every Union man and patriot, felt
good. They were jubilant. Flags were
unfurled and displayed in honor OF the
victory. At dress-parade, the news was
read to the regiment, and they responded
in cheers which were heard all over the
city, In the evening the brass six pound
er was brought out near the barracks, and
with crowd of several hundred citizens
to assist, salute was given which rever-
berated far and near Every body felt
that Bull Run was avenged, and that the
end of the most diabolical rebellion ever
heard Of since Lucifer's secession from
heaven is rapidly drawing near.
