 Brigadier General Gobin has been re- quested by the town authorities to send a company of men to that locality be- cause of the disorders that had been occurring there. Company A of the Eighth regiment, under Captain Carver, was on duty there all night and early this morning. The colonel of the regiment said the company was greeted by shower of stones, which came from the top of the high hills overlooking the railroad station. The captain immediately placed a detachment of men in the vicin lty of the houses from which stones were thrown. No one was captured, as the offenders had escaped before the soldiers reached the top of the hill.
