anticipation Of this new line the
Baltimore e. Ohio Railroad com
pany contemplate the erection OF
the extensive stock-yards . which
have been projected for several years.
The new line is also intended to devel-
op the exporting trade in horses. 1t has
been found, especially since the open
ing-up of the horse railways
throughout the large cities of Europe,
that Am erican horses can be exported
and sold lower than British animals,
and blue grass Kentucky stock espe-
cially have been found adapted to ev-
cry, purpose. ..ru. s# N #|t

REFERRING to the Breathitt county
troubles, the Couae1- Jou rnol CORES
pondent at Camp Taylor Dec. 3Oth, says:
The action Of Judge Randall in
all the ringleaders in the
Gambrell and Little side has created
CONSERVATION and dismay among those
who have been concerned in the late
difficulties, and Breathitt county to-day
is the most peaceful in the state. None
of the ringleaders of the Strong
party have made their appearance, but
their friends still say they will be
in before long. Judge Lindon told me
yesterday that Wallace Mcclure, the
man who is reported to have
killed Tom Little, would be
here during court, ready to
answer any charge that may be prefer
red against MIN. This morning Brock
Combs, son Of Jailer Comb, was sar-
rested and placed in Jail, charged
with being implicated in the muir
der of Judge Burnett. This makes
five of the Little party
who are now closely confined. John
Altman is yet at large, aud if he do es
not desire to give himself up, it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether they will be
able to find him.
A KINGSTON, Jamaica, dispatch of
Dec. 3Oth says: The following details
have been received of the loss of the
steamer Emily B. Sauder: The leak was
discovered at o'clock on the morning
of the 10th and the. deck load was
thrown overheard. At II the crew be-
ban throwing overheard the cargo in
the hold. At in the evening the wind
was blowing half hurricane and say
ing the vessel became hopeless. Four
boats were got out. One was found
useless. The first boat, containing the
first mate, Jno. Christen, George Scan
end five passengers was swamped
The second boat IN
which were the engineer Booth,
twenty Of the crew, one baby
and several passengers drifted away.
The third ooat, containing the purser
and others, also drifted clear. At 10
o'clock a life raft was constructed and
the captain, chief engineer, second
mate and two passengers left the vessel
on it. Of the six persons remaining,
Theodore Stinert, O. A. Anderson and
one passenger left on the floating hatch,
leaving two cooks and one passenger,
whom it was impossible to help, as the
steamer disappeared three minutes
afterwards. At daybreak on the 11th,
Stinert and Anderson were alone, no
boats nor bodies in sight, nothing but
the floating cargo. The two men saved
were rescued at five in the evening by
a schooner bound to Jamaica.
