in Their Demands.

in Their Demands.
LAFAYETTE, IND, Dec. 14.-The brake
men on the Louisville, New Albany and
Chicago railroad to-day joined the freight
conductors in their strike. claiming that
if the conductors are entitled to extra
pay they are entitled to the same. AT
II :45 O'Clock to-day officials made up a
freight TO start in charge of Conductor
Wing. On the front end of the train was
a new brakeman, who was waited on
by about twenty striking brakemen
and requested to quit. He refused and
was kicked by one of the strikers when
he got off. Conductor Wing was on the
engine and was waited on by a committee
from the striking conductors, who made
a statement OF the cause of the strike.
whereupon he took the train back to the
yard. The officials say they are deter
mined to move train out Tonight.

Lincoln county, on the Carolina line, is
in a state of anarchy over an incident
which happened Monday. Many OF the
colored tenants are in arrears with their
supply bills, and the efforts 10 collect
them has produced great Indignation.
Monday Tom Leverett and Cabe Ramsey
went out on the eastern side OF the county
to force process. When they drew near
the house of the man of whom they were
in quest they found IL surrounded by ne
groes, who at once opened ire upon
them. Leverett and Ramsey, who were
on horseback, turned and gallOped away,
but not before they were so dangerously
wounded that their lives are now in dam
ger. Tuesday morning an armed band OF
100 white men organized and proceeded to

fully prepared to fight.
Brunswick Advertiser: There is now
moored at Cooks dock, loading with lum-
Der, an elegant thTee-masted schooner
the VIM. E. Downes, OF New Haven,
that seems 10 be perfection in all her ap-
pointments. To begin with, she is 1855
feet long. and 36H feet beam, with double
engine. which does away, almost, with
the use of men. With this almost every
thing is done except steering the vessel,
and this, too, could have easily been ar
ranged. We went aboard this craft yes
terday. and found her master. Capt.
Haskell. absent on a deer hunt, but
received every attention from Mate
Howard and Engineer Cahill. This
latter gentleman explained to US the
workings of his PETITE engine-whlch
be informed us performed the following
otherwise arduous duties, namely, rails
ing anchor, hosting sails. loading and
unloading cargo. heating cabin, washing
decks, pumping out vessel. lowering
centre board, etc. In short, all the
manual labor except steering the vessel.
The Downes is TIC tons register, and is
capable OF carrying 200 tons of coal. or
about 600 900 feet OF lumber. She only
has four men before the mast.

A ROCKY MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE.

During the month of December, 1853,
| was travelling in stage coach through
the interior Of Illinois but ere
reached ny journeys end furious
snowstorm blocked up the road, and
the whole party, consisting of the dri-
Yer and three passengers besides my
self, We're obliged to take refuge in u
waysile inn, where We remained wealth
rrbonn! for two days ard nights.
To willie away the time, it was pro-
posed by one Of the party that each
should relate a story of some personal
adventure, and the gentleman who
made the suggestion Nas unanimously
chosen to take the lead. He was a
mSp about forty Years Of age, small in
stature. and delicately framed, with
fair skin, light hair and deep blue
eyes. He was neatly dressed in a
suit of black, and had such an air Of fine
breeding and refinement, that no one
would have suspected him Of having
spent any portion of his life among
the trappers, tradeks and Indians of
the far West. 1t suits my purpose to
give his name as Howard Wayne; for
ii living now, it may not please him
to be introduced - the public under
his real appellation.
As preliminary to his story, Mr..
Wayne very quietly and deliberately
exhibited to u long, broad, ugly
scar across his breast, and in mod,
est way and a soft musical tone, OBJ
served:
That, gentlemen, is one OF the few
evidences, which shall retain during
lie, Of my perilous encounter with a
carcagieu.'

THE UNION PACIFIC.

A glance at the horizon of Congress,
sional action would seem to indicate that
the Thurman act Of 1873, which has
hindered the Union Pacific railroad
from raising funds and branching ont as
it desired to do, is soon to be repealed
The Oldthwaite bill, which provides foI
the settlement of the Union Pacific debt
to the government OF l40 annual sums Of
81 ,S07 100, is now pending in the house
and besides having received the approx.
al of the board of government directors,
has also been sanctioned by the secre-
tary of the interior, and favorably men.
toned by the President in his message
10y the following language;
THE Secretary of the Interior suggests
a change in the plan for the payment Of
the indebtedness Of the Pacific subsid-
lied roads 10 the government. His sug-
gestion has the unanimous Endorsement
of the persons selected bv the govern
ment to act as directors of these roads
and protect the interests of the United
States in the Board of Direction. In
considering the plan. proposed, the sole
matters which should be taken into &C.
count, in my opinion, are the situation
of the government as a creditor and the
surest way to secure the payment of the
principal and interest OF its debt"
In view Of these facts, then, it is not
improbable that the Union Pacific will
he freed from its present untoward con.
diiion, and, by amply securing the debt
it owes the government, be allowed to
make improvements intended to make
its main line more valuable by the addi.
ton of numerous feeders.
The Union Pacific is at present upon
the outskirts of prosperous territory,
which, with tie expenditure of few
dollars. it could enter and be we'll repaid
for so doing. We will look anxiously
for the passage of the Oldthwaite bill,
which, in our opinion, is fraught with
great good for this valley, and for the
government as well.
