of this troop-protected town remains
broken. The unsettled feeling which has
been apparent for the last few days, how
ever, continues. II was a lively day at
brigade headquarters. where all the staff
officers were kept busy in connection with
the movements of the troops and in keep

tire county. There were many rumors OF
trouble, but excepting at Girardviile where
a workman was shot and slightly injured,
nothing of a serious nature occurred any

usually alert, however. and kept soldiers in
readiness for instant all day long. Many
stories of threatened trouble reached him.
but he was able in every instance TO run
them down without sending out detail OF
men. Officers around headquarters feel
that the tension is increasing and would
not be surprised If some of the troops now
in camp here were sent into the surround
ing region. The brigadier general says he
will not send for additional men until there
is need for them. IL is not unlikely, how
ever, that a battery and another troop of
cavalry will be in the field by the end of
the week
