Jacob, Richard Taylor 1825- Military officer; born in Oldham county, Ky., in 1825; went to California in 1846, where he aided Gen. John C. Fremont in conquering that section. In 1862 he recruited a regiment of 1,244 cavalry at Eminence, Ky.; in 1863 became lieutenant-governor of Kentucky. He was strongly opposed to President Lincoln's emancipation proclamation, holding that it not only deprived those loyal citizens who owned slaves of their property, but it was unjust to the friends of the Union.

The clerical suicide. --The suicide of the Rev. R. C. Rice, of Eminence, Ky., at Cincinnati, has been noticed. It appears that he had been twice married, and his second union was not productive of happiness; an estrangement sprung up between him and his wife, which induced, on his part, melancholy, and finally resulted in the rash act by which he terminated his existence. The following note was found on the table in his room at the hotel directed to Mayor Bishop: "Please have my poor body put in a genteel case, and sent, without molestation, to Eminence, Kentucky, where I hope it will be laid beside my dear Eliza. My Christian character is impeached, and, by misfortune, the means of vindication are cut off. I have been a true man, have lived for the good of mankind and glory of God. I never injured a human being intentionally. I have preached faithfully the true Gospel of Christ, and to the Cross of Christ I have ever clung as the ground of my hopes. Take charge of m

Suicide of an Eminent Clergyman. --On Sunday last the Rev. Robert C. Rice, of Eminence, Kentucky, one of the most distinguished clergymen of the Christian or Reformed Baptist Church, committed suicide at the Spencer House, Cincinnati, whither he had arrived from Philadelphia the previous evening, en route for home. The Commercial gives the following particulars of the occurrence: During the forenoon of Sunday the chambermaid desired to arrange his apartment, but he declined to have her do so, alleging that he was unwell. A similar application, in the afternoon, met with the same excuse. About midnight the clerk's attention was called to the matter by the statement of the boot-black, that the boots had remained outside of the door all day. Upon entering the room (the door was unlocked,) Mr. Rice was found upon the bed, dead. He had shot himself in the head with a small pistol, which was still grasped in his hand.

lorida took the Purdy in tow and landed her safely in Berwick's Bay. Bully for the Florida and her bull dogs! More Yankee Outrages. From the Louisville (Bowling Green) Courier, of the 3d inst., we take the following: We are informed by a refugee just from Shelby county, who succeeded in running the blockade, that the Yankees have been perpetrating all manner of outrages in that section. Men with Southern sympathies, were daily arrested and taken over to Whittaker's camp at Eminence, where they were compelled to take the Lincoln oath or go to Louisville and be imprisoned. A few days since a Captain Headen, of Whittaker's regiment, went over to Shelbyville and arrested some ten citizens, for no crime whatever, but because they were charged with being "Secessionists." Among them were Rev. W. Goodman and Rev. Moses McKnight, both faithful and influential ministers in the Baptist Church--and David Stout, Esq., who, at the last election, was Whittaker's opponent for th
