Mysterious Development.

On the corner Of Vail and Front streets, in
the city of Jacksonville, Indiana, stands an
ancient brick building, which was used in old
en- times az a hotel OF this building we
have heard many rsmnntie ales, and traditions
OF every hue and character are associated
with it by the old citizens Of the place 1t
was once the rendezvous Of desperate class
of people, and many dark and bloody crimes
are known to have been commiated within its
walls. Many innocent and unTuspeeting girls
have been lured to this house and their ruin
accomplished, and it is believed that not a
few OF these unfortunate victims have met
with violent deaths by their Sedueers.
The building ia in very dilapidated con-
dition, bat was purchased few days since by
the Jacksonville Railroad Company on ac-
count OF the room it affords for Offices. In
repairing the building the workMen took up
the floor, and, to their Astonishment, diseov-
cred the remains of several Of the young la
dies supposed to have been murdered in the
house years ago, together with the skeleton
Of an infant, wrapped in cloth. The remains
Of the unfortunate creatures have reposed for
perhaps upwards Of forty years beheath the
floor of this notorious house, and until very
recently it has been occupied by different per.
sons during this entire period, The maidenS
whose skeletons have now been exhumed, had
they lived, wsuld be old ladies, and the inno-
cent babe would now be 10 the meridian Of
life. In al! probability their murderes have
ere this passed from earth, and rendered their
account to the Great Tribunal that visits JUS
tics upon all who escape the penalty of their
crimes in this world.

A correspondent at Beaufort, North Caro-

the education Of the freedmen, says:
"SOme few evenings ago visited one of
these schools, over which several young ladies
were presiding. Even in our best regulated
schools never saw more perfect decorum.-
1t was an interesting sight to watch with what
avidity even the old men and women entered
into their studies, and the progress they had
made in three weeks was perfectly astOnish-

The Morris Island correspondent Of the
New Bedford Mercury writes that the steam
er Planter, the vessel which was run out of
Charleston hGrbor by Robert .SmAlls, and
turned ever to the blockadiug feet, has been
captured by the rebels. 1t appears that the
vessel was bound round to StOno Inlet,
through Lighthouse Inlet, and the creek divi-
ding Cole and Folly Islands, but owing to the
dense fog prevailing at the time, the pilot
ran her past the turn in :hs creek, continuing
on too far up the inlet toward Seceshville.
He did not discover bis error until be ran in
AmOng the rebel picket boats pAtroIling in
the vicinity, when. as . natural consequence,
she was captured. The fate Of her crew may
be rather serious matter, for all except the
captain aud engineers are contrabandS, and
some Of them formed 3 part Of the crew who
ran away with her. 1t is believed that SmAllH
was piloting her on the occasion.

Papers snd dispatches frou all quarters
give terrible accounts Of the effects Of the
cold weather the lSt aud I'd inst Numsr-

suspension Of railroad movements. The cold
extended a. far south As New Orleans, where
the orange trees were killed, snd at Viekaburg
the Thermometer fell to IA degrees below zero.
We subjoin few items as = sample Of those
with which we might gil several eSIumns:
At Louisville the cold was intense on Fri

A rumor prevailed that a number Of rebel
prisoners had frozen 70 death bat this proved
untrue.
On Thursday 10000 hogs on ths North
Missouri railroad, bound for So. Louis, were
frozen TO death
The Republican says that at Z o'clock on
Friday morning in st. Louis, the mercury
stood at 1917 degrees below zero, and at an
earlier hour at % degrees below. This is the
eOldest weather known for at least 81 years.
for twenty-five winters during that period the
mercury has not sunk to or below zero. In
seven years, viz: 1884, 1885, 1s41, 1852 and
1857, the mercury sunk to ten degrees below.
On the Mississippi in Northern Illinois, the
cold has been more intense than has ever been

DAILY LEADER.
SATURDAY, NovEmBER &c.



The newspapers Of his native town con
tain the brief announcement that JAMES
q. MEDuL il dead. This viii be sad in
tslligeaee to his many friends and admirers
in this city and throughout the Northwest,
Who during the ten years preceding the
last two, knew him as one of the ablest
journalists Of the time. In 1852 he came
to this city and associated himself with his
brother Joseph Medill, Esq, now of the
Chicago DAILY Tri5sope,) in the manage
nient of the Daily Forest City, supporting
with marked ability the claims of General
Scott to the Presidency. At the close Of
ths political campaign Of that year, which
resulted in the final overthrow of the Whig
party, he took an active part in the consol-
idation Of the Wing and Free Soil elements
ia opposition to the Democracy, and may
bs Giassed as one of the founders Of the
Republican party. From that time until
1856 he was editorislly connected with the
LEADER, in which capacity he proved HIM
self profound thinker, an able writer, and
an uncompromising champion Of human
rights. From 1856 1859 he was connect
cd with the agricultural interests of the
Northwest editing SUCCESSFULLY the Prairie
Fry7ner and the Northl0estsrH Prairie
Farmer at Chicago. During this period
he labored zealously to elevate the stand
ard of agriculture IN the West in which he
was eminently successful, establishing
reputation and q fame as broad and
enduring as the prairies which
weas the scenes of his untiring labors.
Feeling deep interest in the politics of
the country, he re entered the political
arena, and assumed control of the Peoria
(Ulinois) Daily Transcript and during
the canvass of 1860 did good service in the
cause of human freedom. During 1851 ne
leetured in several of the Western States
upon the condition OF tho country, srraign-
ing the institution of slavery as the primal
cause Of the rebellion, and as remedy
pointing to the line of policy which the
stern law of necessity has since compelled
the nation to adopt. The remainder Of
his life was a season ofsadness. Compell-
cd by disease to lead comparatively qui-
ct life, his strong intellect struggled man
fully with fate, continuing to make itself
heard at intervals through the Western
press. Some two years ago, being a con-
slant sufferer from rheumatism, he return
ed to the home Of his childhood in Canton,
Stark county, Ohio, and from that time
until the hour of his death he was q con
slant prey to pain.
Thus lived and died James Q. Medill.
His life, through broken in the brightness
Of his msnhoOd's morning, was not in
vain. The great truths he enuncisted
will endure through all time, whilst many
Of the cardinal principles he advocated
have already been adopted by his country
as rules Of action. As man he was hon
est and upright, as 8 friend he was undevi-
ating in his attachments, as 3 patriot he
was ssgscious and true.

TEE CHIEF JusTIcEsHrP.

For the Chief Justiceship, the common
sen timent Of the nation points TO put one
man. The mention OF the vacant place
East, or West, alike calls up the name Of
the distinguished EI-Secretary of the
Treasury. Judging by all ordinary proba-
bilities, NJ. Chase's appointment might be
considered as already practically settled.
Mr.. Lincoln is known to have expressed
before and since Judge Tsney's
death, On intention to appoint him
The Presidents familiars in
Guiding the men who hate Mr.. Chase the
worst sll speak of his appointment as in
evitable. Mr.. Stewards confidential friends
express the same conviction. The workers
for VIM. d. Evsrts, (the Seward and Weed
candidate) went back to New York dis
couraged, and admitting to their friends
that they could do nothing, and had Rban-
doned the field to Chase. And men on
snch intimate terms with Mr.. Lincoln as
John D. Defrees say they krsO1O Chase IS to
be appointed.
But on the other hand there are stories
go well authenticated about the danger that
the sense of propriety of the nation is TO
be shocked by the appointment of Mont
gomery Blair, and there is kept up such q
persistent clatter about the almost equally
absurd appointment Of Secretary Stanton,
that all who respect the exalted Office
which should be reserved for the first jurist
and the broadest intellsck- OF -aA-cs1At4aAsiAsi y
viii remain uneasy till the Senate has re-
ceived the nomination.

Probable Capture Of MaeOn, Georgia.
The city of Macon is one of the most
important in Georgia. 1t is situated On
the ocmulgee river, and is the capital Of
Bibb county, Georgia, thirty miles south :
west Of MillsdgsvilIe 1t is at the head of
steamboat navigation, and at the junction
Of the Georgia Central with the Macon
and Western railroads, one hundred and
ninety-one miles from Savannah. It is q
place of some note, having eight churches,
a college two banks, four printing offices,
and about six thousand inhabitants. A
bridge, three hundred and eighty-nine
feet in length, crosses the Ocmulgee.
If General Sherman has made good time
since he left Atlanta, he is probably in
possession of the city. When he breaks
the railroad there he will have snapped
the last great continuous railroad line of
Communication between the northeastern
and southwestern Ststes of the Confedera-
c.. Then if he moves upon Savannah,
the distance to the latter city is one hun
dred and eighty miles.
Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1864-11-26

There are no important water-eourses be-
tween Atlanta and Macon. Between Macon
and Savannah there is the Ogeechee, which
is twice crossed by the railroad. The only
forces the rebels had about Atlanta during
ShermRn,s advance were Iverson's cavalry,
an irregular organization eleven hundred
strong. Below Atlsnta, the only rebel
troops now known to be in Georgia, are 8
few brigsdes of militia under Howell Cobb
and the three thousand rebel prisoners oul
authorities were so kind as to exchange il
Savannah. Therefore, if Sherman is tc
encounter any formidable military opposi'
ton to his adventurous march, the men to
make it must be found outside of the State
Of Georgia.

Remarkable Success In Guns.

Mr.. Ames, of Connecticut, who, after
msny rebuEs from the Ordnance Bureau,
at length succeeded In getting from the
higher power contract for fifteen wrought
iron riaed finch guns, has had enc Of
them tested with charges Of twenty-five
pounds Of quick burning powder, Increased
alter few trials to thirty pounds, seven
hundred times No percepubls impress
sion was made on the gun. The strain
endured by this gun is more than four
times as great as that which was ventured
on the 2O-incn gun which is eslleds grest
triumph. We need not say thst the We
lccity and effect of the shot are in proper
ton to the power applied. With the
Hotchkiss projectile, and thirty-hve de-
grees elevation, range of seven miles
was reached.

sherman's Aim . Dlvido the COnfed.


The real object of Gen neral Sherman's
movement is the division of the Southern
Conisderscy. Let an army capture and
hold Augusta, snd secure the passage Of
the Savannah river by the capture Of Sa-
vannah, or let It reduce Charleston and
establish Communication between Beaufort
and Augusta, and, with Atlanta in our
hands, an impossible barrier of Federal
steel would stretch practically all the way
from Louisville to the ses, straight through
the very heart of the Confederscy. Thus
with the great States of Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Lou
isians separated from the rest Of the rebel
domain, with North and South Csrolins
virtually hemmsd IN by Federal armies
and Virginia, or all its important parts
completely surrounded, the Confederate
States would in a short time exist no
where, save in history.
