SEE REGIMENT.

The last OF the volunteer regiments has
arrived. Not all OF II is in. but there is
enough to warrant the speedy appearance
OF the remainder. and before this even
ing. unless there is another smashup on
the Southern Pacific lines. The first two
battalions OF the Forty-ninth caught the
rain as they left the cars at Fourth and

a baggage train. AS usual with troops
there was a wreck, but this time Il af-
fected the baggage train. One horse was
injured. but he will get well again. and
one car was so badly damaged that It
had TO be sidetracked. Altogether five
cars were derailed. Following after

been announced TO the men that the State

trast TO every other State whose volun-
teers have landed here in San Francisco.
They have all paid the fares of the men.
There is not regiment or State volun-
teers that has not gone home on a special
train hired by the State TO which they
belonged, and Tennessee is the first to
ask the men TO give up part of their last
pay to the railroads. AS a consequence
there are a. great many OF the men who
have Joined with those who said they
they take part in any State demonstra-
ton In their behalf. II looks as though
there will be no more than 800 OF the
Tennessee soldiers who will go home to-
gether and parade at Nashville on their
arrival. The soldiers blame the Gov
ernor of the State for the condition OF
