ONLY ONE HUNDRED LEFT.
THESE WILL RETURN AT MIDNIGHT
FROM DARIEN.

| Vnnnah Yesterday-He Brought Al
| so the News of the Rest of the
| Regiments Prompt Return, and
| That 1t would BE Relieved by Four
Troops of the First CavaIry-An-
other of the DeleGnIs Captured by
Lieut.. Leonard-Donbts of Trial OF
Rioters at Special Term.
| A detachment of thirty-flye men of the
| First Georgia Infantry. under the
| command Of Lieut.. ]. c. Tyson,
reached the city from Darien at
| 100 O'Clock yesterday. Accompany
ing the detachment were two men,
! bers of the regimental staff, Capt. II. J.
| Sutcline and Capt. j. CT. farrell, quarter
master and surgeon OF the regiment.
BY the withdrawal of the detachment
under Lieut.. Tyson, the companies Of the
| regiment at Darien have been reduced
each to one officer and twenty men, max
ing total force of eight officers and 100
men, counting those members of the regi-
mental field and staff still remaining on
the scene. The regiments further stay at
Darien viii be short, and by tomorrow
morning it will have returned to Savan-
nah.
Lieut.. Tyson's detachment marched
through the streets of the city TO the
armory of the First Regiment without at
tracing attention. For the past week the
streets have been filled with soldiers on
several occasions, and the sight of so small
a detachment excited no curiosity. There
was a small crowd at the armory, com
posed principally of the friends of the
men, who had followed them to the ar
mory from the train, to welcome them
back to Savannah.
Lieut.. Tyson was in possession of in
terestng news of the situation. In ans
wer to question, he said tina,
chat when he left Darien the situation was
under complete control and no further
trouble was anticipated either by the civil
or military authorities.
Just before my departure Col Lawton
told me that the regiment would be in
Savannah either tomorrow afternoon or
Thursday morning early and unless his
plans are materially changed this pro-
gramme will be carried out. He feels
that the savannah boys have done enough
service for a while and have been kept
long enough from their empoyments and
their families"
Col. LaWton further told me that the
relieving force would consist of four
troops of the First Cavalry. which he
then intended to order or request the Gov
ernor 20 order to report to him al Darien
tomorrow. Though he did not say so, l
should think that these four troops would
be the Mcintosh Light Dragons now on
DUTY at Daricn, the two troops from Lib
erty county, the Liberty independent
Troop. and the Liberty Guards, and the
Georgia Hussars. These are the ones.
whose headquarters are situated nearest
10 Darien, and therefore are probably the
ones that win be selected to take the place
of the regiment" Telegraphic advices
show that the Hussars will not be of the
cavalry command, though the other troops
named are
Lieut.. Tyson did not know how the Or
ders TO the cavalry would be issued,
whether to the commanding officers OF the
troops directly or through Col. Miller.
But il is reasonably certain that the cav
airy IS 10 take the place Of the infantry
and that the former viii constitute what
ever guard is needed for the many prison
ers that are to be looked after during the
session of the court
Lieut.. Tyson reported that the brother
of John Delegal, a notice of whose cap
ture by a detachment under Lieut. Leonard
has already been published in the Morn
ing News, had also been captured by
detachment under the same officer There
- no CildISe against IllS tlird member
or the family of Delegal other than that
of participating in and melting to rot,
on which charge so many of his friends
from Darien and its vicinity are now Ian
gushing in the county jails of Mcintosh
and Chatham. Lieut.. Tyson said that the
capture was effected by Lieut. Leonard
some time Tuesday night and that the
prisoner was brought into the town early
yesterday morning. His capture had been
made without exciting incidents and with
out resistance on the part of Delegal. He
is locked up now in Mcintosh jail
Lieut.. Leonard is kept on outpost duty,
and is securing the woods In the county
with his detachment Some of the leaders
of the riot are still al liberty and these
it Is desired TO arrest. Besides this duty
| Lieut.. Leonard is expected to keep the
| commanding officer advised of the condi-
| ton of affairs throughout the district he
| patrols, and to guard against the occur
renee Of any unlawful gatherings or dis
/ turDances. These duties he has admirably
/ performed, and in so doing has won the
! approval ana open commentator of Col
Lawton and his other superior officers.
/ The men of the detachment seemed none
| the worse for the experience through
| which they had passed. They had Jared
much better than the original body under
! Capt. Grayscn, who had been left in the
! town from the first and who had garri-
! soned il during the happening of the worst
| of The disturbances and a the time of
| when there was most cause for appreheu-
! sion. There had been comfortable places
| to sleep and enough men to permit them
| reasonable opportunity of so doing, ard
| the commissary department had been most
! admirably looked after. Everybody had
| enough 10 eat and httie more than was
! absolutely required Everything spread
| before the men was good of It's kind and
! good enough of any kind. The boys said
/ that the menu had consisted on occasion
| of porter house steaks and fried chicken
! the latter the product Of Illegal foraging
/ on the part Of some of their number, veg
| Ctabcs and side dishes were all that they
! could ask. and they had no kick to make
| The last expedition of the First seems to
! nave been pleasant enough.
! There is doubt in the minds of many
of the people of Savannah, and especially
| of the members of the bar, about the trial
! OF the negro rioters at the terms of court
! that is to convene to-day. The lawyers
| say il is beyond their comprehension how
