 THE CITY A MILITARY CAMP.
 NASHVILLE, Dec. 9.-A Birmingham spe- eial says that the shooting down of citizens by the sheriff and his officers last night is , strongly condemned. To day and tonight the city is like an encampment. Civil au- thorities have practically stepped down and out and Colonel Jones of Montgomery with thirteen companies of infantry is absolutely in charge of affairs. phe jail is guarded with troops with picket lines extended seve- ral squares in every direction. Mounted scouts are sent out of the city and at regular intervals aequaint Colonel Jones with the condition of things and prospects of armed resistance by the people. Fire bells sound military alarms and soldiers in uniform and ! armed with Wincheeters have desolated the } principal streets and driven back the thou sands who have all day been looking toward the jail.
 THE ENLARGED PoPULACE.
 Along the walls of the city are posted pe- titions of various kinds signed by thousands of people. One of these recites at length the fact that Sheriff Smith had butchered in cold blood some of the best citizens of Birming- ham by an act as unprovoked as unnecessary, and asked Governor Seay to relieve him of his duties as sheriff. Another petition reads: ''This Is to hang him." and was signed by thousands of passers-by. Great excitement was caused by the funeral n;, eort"se through ina vIntimd Rginoipai higa 1sat nights affray The lengthy procession was headed by brass band playing solemn dirges. The postoffice building is draped in mourn ing and makes mute appeal to every passer- by. The military were called upon to arrest Smith and others implicated, but this was refused, and finally at about five o'clock g citizen went before justice and swore out a warrant for the arrest o1 Smith and his deputies on the charge oi murder. This was served by the coroner Daring the day Captain Peyton Bibb. who ii that the military take Smith and Hawes ou of jail and carry them to Montgomery away from the scenes of riot and for safe keeping This was not sccceded by the officers 1T charge, there being no civil steps to that enc advised.
 FURTHER OUTBREAKS FEARED.
 During the afternoon this rumor becam widespread and fifteen hundred miners iron Pratt mines would after dark march to th city armed with guns, pistols and dynamit cartridges, and with the increase to thei ranks that was expected assault the soldier and with dynamite blow to atoms the jail That such will be attempted is expected ever by the military, though a.successful finale l not anticipated. There are already ten mili # tary companies under command of Colone
