in the evening the T. C. (tuf cusses, you know,l
rot tight on strong drink. And well they
might. for never, since the days of our national
independence was acquired, has there been so
much cause for rejoicing. BY our dispatches
this morning it will be seen that General Grant
has eaptured Fort Donelson and fifteen thou
sand rebels, with Generals Buckner, Pillow and
johnson. General Floyd, the notorious thief
who stole from the Federal Government mus
kets. cannon, pistols, powder, balls sabres and
money. in this instance shows bis ruling passion
BY stealing away. Joy go with him. If they
had captured him he would doubtless have
stolen a gunboat and escaped within twenty
four hours, SO his loss was our gain.
The Forty Thieves who have lived upon
Federal and county patronage in this county
so long, hung their secession heads, and re-
reated into the beer saloons and other haunts,
swearing now, as ever, with visible marks of
alarm that they are the best Union men in
