Floyd's Brigade.
--This splendid brigade, now fully armed and equipped, will start in a few days for the Kanawha Valley, where their services are much needed.
General John B Floyd, the man who has been for a few mouths past a target for vile calumnistors, is in command, and by his remarkable efficiency and energy it is now one of the best disciplined and armed bodies of men in the South.
Col. A. W. Reynolds, his 2nd officer in command, is a classmate of Beauregard's, and was considered one of the best officers in the old army.

With such competent aids as Col. R. and his brother officers, Gen. Floyd cannot fail to accomplish the purpose for which the Brigade was formed.
