excitement prevails in this city to-day. and
'hc streets are thr0ngod with anxious
crowds

issued this morning and Frank Cheathams
headquarters have been thrOnged ever since
with old COniederates who were enrolling
thor names. Unless to-deys results indi-
cate the early extinction Of the riot there
VIII be more volunteers for service than
all the trains can carry.
On application OF the Governor the Sec
retary OF War has ordered six hundred
stand OF arms 10 be sent AT once from Indi-
annapolis 10 Knoxville. where they will be
distributed 10 the forces gathering at that
point. Thirty thousand rounds OF ammu-
milton came with tho guns. The lack Of
arms has been an EN- Embarrassing feature Of
the situation. as the volunteers have armed
themselves with whatever weapons they
could procure.

have failed 70 deliver Captain Anderson as

ceiyed from Governor Buchanan late last
night asking the use of the arms and ammu-
nItlOn now stored at the United States Gus
tOm-house Mt Knoxville. This request could
not be granted by the War Department. as
these supplies belonged 10 the Treasury
Department and are for use in suppressing
odenses against the internal revenue laws.
