the vicinity OF the Relay depot No seri'
GUS opposition of any character has beset
the troops. The first companies 10 arrive
in the city we're Company X, of the Eighth
Regiment, from Nashville, and Company
n, of the Fifth, from Decatur, and they
were temporarily qusrtered in the railroad
branch of the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION building near the Relay depo'.
The crowd offered q little wordy opposition,
but nothing further. The troops, after
divesting themselves of their clothisg, bags
and blankets, left to take their allotted
stations, which we're at irst confined to the
switches near the depot. The troops ar.
rested one man IN the Cairo Short Line
yards, who refused to quit the premises,
early this morning. he was turned over
to the local authorities.

Cured since FIVE o'clock this morning. At
a few of the railroad crossings and at the
street corners there have been small gath
