The Floyd Brigade,
This admirable body of soldiers, enlisted and equipped in an almost incredibly short space of time by Brigadier General Floyd, has been organized, and will be ready to march to a few days.
The companies in camp near Wytheville, are undergoing a persevering drill, and are fast acquiring the discipline and pore of soldiers.
The men are remarkable for their stalwart, hardy and enduring frames.
They are fired with the true spirit of freemen, and would prefer death to def the history of the present glorious struggle.
As many of our readers in the South-west are personally interested in the organization of this fine brigade, we give below a list of it companies and officers:
Commander-in-Chief.--Brigadier General John B. Floyd.
1st Regiment.--Colonel.
Henry Heth: Lieut. Col. B. E. Ficklin; Major, G. C. Wharton; Adjutant, W. M. Thomas.
And Regiment.--Colonel, A. W. Reynolds; Lieut. Col. not yet appointed: Major, F. W. Finney; Adjutant.

It is understood that Mr. Daniel has accepted a position in the staff of Gen. John B. Floyd, and the brigade of the latter being ready, he will start for the Western part of the State in a few days, prepared for active service.
The present war has absorbed a good deal of the available newspaper talent of the country.
