JAMBoREE, KY, Oct. 4.-The old Hat
field Mccoy feud has broken out again and
at least three more lives have been sacrificed
in the bloody vendetta which has now last
ed over seven years. The shooting occurred
at marriage at the farmhouse of Peter
Mccoy. His daughter was to become the
wife of John Hand, relative OF the Hat
field gang, and members of both factions had
sworn to prevent the union. Hand had
never been connected with the disputes OF
the factions aud refused to recognize the
leaders. Tuesday night the bridal party
assembled 10 McCoy's house and just as
young Hand and Miss Mccoy etood before
the minister volley was poured through q
window which killed both of them and fatal
ly wounded the Clergyman. Reports say
that the fsrmers and mcuntaineers of the
locality are hunting for the murderers, but
no trace of them has been found

kindly cared for by the captain and his
crew. The Corona was on her first trip OF
the season. and had but recently come out
of the dry dock, where she received repairs

Brothers, of that city, seven years ago, and
had carrying capacity of about 200 bales
of cotton. At the time of the accident she
was valued at $4,000. TIE steamer sunk

cratic detection reported was that of three
or four men, never heard of before outside
the limits of their own counties, and OF no
influence whatever within those limits.
while from almost every county in the
State the intelligence was to the effect that
the republican detection was not only large,
but included the most prominent and even
distinguished men in the party, and the
men of most influence, and that they seem
to be, if anything, more intent than the
democrats upon roofing Mahoneism out OF
Virginia.

democrats. Indeed it seems to be general.

that SO we'll aware was the national demo-
cratic committee of what the result would
probably be, that it made little or no e1sr.

which the democrats are justly to be blamed,
was their failure to insist upon the admis-
