LITTLE ROCK, April 21.-But little Of
interest has transpired. 1t was only by
dilligent watching that conflict was pre-.
vented last night. One or two compa-
nies here arrived sirce last report. One
Company of the Federal forces is now
stationed at the United States Court
room, with two pieces Of artillery com,
manding Main street; another company
is at the City Hall, lying on their arms.
On making reconnaissance of the two
sides a heavy guard was found stationed
at Governor Baxter's headquarters, at the
Anthony House; just opposite company
was stationed in the Wait block; another
in the second story of the Odd Fellows
Building; regiment two squares below,
on the same street; and another regiment
on Scott street, between Second and
Third.
A battalion of colored troops were sta.
toned on Second, between Scott and
Main streets. Several of Baxter's men,
who were caught beyond Main street,
we're arrested and taken to the State
House; among tn, m, one of the Govern.
or's aids, Colonel Pomeroy. On the other
hand, several of Bro oks' men, who en-
croached on Baxter's line, were arrested
and d;sarmed. Noses Reed, the son,in-
law of Brooks, was taken in about one
o'clock this morning at the Cairo and Full.
ton Railroad Depot, by detachment of
baxter's men.
At the State House no guards were to
be seen outside of the inclosure; inside
the barrlcade, large number, two hun
dred, perhaps, of negroes were seen.
fnny nAln
and considerable additions were made
to their commissaIy department. A few
men could be seen on the rear of the
building, but the maiu force were in front.
Occasionally the head of man could be
seen in one of the upper windows. 1t !,
stated here that more Federal troops will
arrive in the morning.
This made the Baxter men anxious to
advance before sufficient troops arrived
to prevent it. 1t is said boat load of
Brooks men is coming from Pine Bluff,
and that the Baxter troops will capture
it If it attempts to land.
LATER-About p. m. the colored
troops under command of Col. King, q
white man, paraded the streets, preceded
by brass band. after marching around
several streets they were halted in front
of the Metropolitan Hotel. The band
| played II lively air the troops fronted the
hotel and yelled for Gov. Baxter. He ap-
peared ON the balcony and made them a
speech, amidst the widest cheers. He
stated that au insurrection had broken
out, and the archives of the Government
were in the hands of the insurgents
that they had been called together for
the purpose OF yindicating the rights of
the people of Arkansas, not the rights of
Elisha Baxter. He stated that lie was
making prepai ations for, and intended to
assert his Fights as Governor of the state
