of the troops, beyond the few sentriss sta
toned at the railroad switches, remain in
the vicinity of ths Relay depot No seri-
Gus opposition Of any character has beset
the troops. The first companies TO arrive
in the city were Company X, OF the Eighth
Regiment, from Nashville, and Company
II, Of the Fifth, from Decatur, and they
were temporarily quaztered in the railroad
branch OF the Young Mems Christian As
socisticn building uess the Relay depo'.
The crowd offered little yordy opposition,
but nothing further. TIE troops, after
divesting themselves of their clothisg, bags
aud blankets, left to take their allotted
stations, which were at frat confined to the
switches near the depot. The troops ar
rested one man in the Cairo Short Line
wards, who refused to quit the premises,
