A NEW SOUTHERN ROUTE.
The Louisville, Memphis and New OrIean,
Railroad.


From the Louisville LEDGER
This company is now fully organized, and
is destined to act conspicuous part in the
railroad affairs of the city and State. The
following gentlemen compose the board of
directors, viz:
Joseph T. Tompkins, j. D. Allen, George
Ainslie, and Lyttleton Cook, of Louisville;
L. M. Payne, of Jefferson county; A. M.
Robinson, DIR. Fl. K Pusey, James III.
Thompson, and A. C. Richardson, of Meade
county; DIR. Benjamin N. Wathen, Jefferson
Jally, g. B. Beard, and William j. Robin
son, of Breckenridge COUNTY; John z. Bar
rett and James A. Thomas, of Ohio county.
The board met yesterday and elected
Lyttleton Cook, Esq, president, and w.
George Anderson secretary and treasurer.
The routes have been reconnoitered care
fully, and though not definitely settled for
the entire line, the most feasible route has
been pretty fully ascertained. The road
commencing at Louisville touches Salt river
tthe dividing line between Jefferson and
Hardin counties) at its mouth, thence to
Hardinsburg, county seat Of breckenridge
county. At this point the road branches,
the main stem extending to Hartford, the
county seat of Ohio county; thence to Hop
kinsyille, IN Christian county; thence to
Cadiz, in Trigg county; thence to Murray,
in Galloway county. and thence to Union
City or Troy Station, connecting with the
whole network of Southern railroads. The
other branch road, commencing at Hardins-
burg. extends to Cloverport, thence to
Greensboro and Morganfeld, and to point
opposite ShawneetOwn, where it will be in
connection with the entire system of Illinois
and Northwestern railroads. During the
month of October, the question of SUBJ
scribing stock will be submitted to the va
rious counties, and from present indications
liberal subscription viii be obtained. By
consulting the map 1t will be readily OBJ
served that the route marked out is one of
great Importance, penetrating sections of
the State now without railroad facilities,
and rich in agricultural and mineral re-
sources. The enterprise is in the hands of
men who will push it through.
