On the corner of Wall and Front streets in
the city of Jeffersonville, Indiana, stands an an
cient brick building, which was used in the OIL
den time as a hotel. Of this building we have
heard many romantic tales and traditions of ev-
cry 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 committed within its walls. Many inno-
cent and unsuspecting girls have been lured to
this house and their ruin accomplished, and it
is believed that not few Of these unfortunate
victims have met with violent deaths by their
seducers.
The building is in avery dilapidated condi-
tion, but was purchased few days since by
the Jeffersonville Railroad Company, on account
of the room it affords for offices. In repairing
the building the workmen took up the old floor,
and, 10 their astonishment discovered the re-
mains of several of the young ladies supposed
to have been murdered in the house years ago,
together with the skeleton of an infant, wrap
ped in cloth. The remains of the unfortunate
creatures have reposed for, perhaps, upwards of
thirty years beneath the floor of this notorious
house, and, until very recently, it has been oc-
cupied by different persons during this entire
period The maidens whose skeletons are now
exhumed, had they lived, would be old ladies',
and the innocent babe would now be in the mer.
idian of life. In all probability their murder
ers have ere this passed from the earth, and
rendered their account to the Great Tribunal
that visits justice upon all who escape the pen
atty Of their crimes in this world.-Lou jour.

An extraordinary scene occurred at the Park
street Methodist church in Cincinnati on Sun
day last. While the pastor was opening the
service with prayer the congregation were star
tied by a series Of vociferous, and, for the time,
most unseemly EXPLANATIONS from female, ac-
companied by the sound ofblows and Of scuf-
he. Rising TO their feet the congregation dis
covered that personal difficulty" OF the most
unusual character was In progress right among
them. The Commercial thus repor1s the affair:
ut seems that for some time there have been
active hostilities in the church between Mack
Il. Barnitz, book publisher on Fourth street,
and Mrs. Nellie Jacobs, both members Of the
church. Some months ago Barntz preferred
serious charges against Mrs. Jacobs, and there
was good deal Of trouble in the church about It.
Barnn was superintendent of the Sabbath
school, and used his influence TO have Mrs. Ja-
cobs driven from her position as teacher Of
one Of the classes. II Il said that Barnitz made
he issue ifshe was not expelled from the school
he would resign the superntendency, and she
was therefore, voted out.
"She preferred charges against Mr. Bsrnitz, OF
conduct unbecoming n Christian gentleman
but was unable 10 press them TO trial. The
difficulty between the two was a source Of an
noyance TO the church members generally, and
they did not want anything more TO say or do
about it.
"But there is no calculating the strategy oI
an lniur!ated wOinani and so no one dreamed oil
the possibility of such a scene as came to pass
yesterday. During the first prayer Mr.. Barnitz
who leads the singing in the church, and has a
prominent pew, which he occupies with his fam
lily. was kneeling and bowed in devotion, Mrs.
Jacobs glided along the aisle, and, drawing a
cowskin which she had concealed in her skirts
gave him vehement whack directly over the
head, and followed it up hot and heavy, giving
him really tremendous larruping about the
ears, before those in the vicinity could collect
their scattered senses enough TO interfere. She
accompanied the blows with hysterical cries o
oh, you villain, There, you traducerl' Sian.
der wowan, will your &c.
Or Hitchcock paused in the prayer, over
whelmcd with amazement Several leading
members of the church made haste to quell the
dreadful outbreak, when Mrs. Jacobs drew
handful of cayenne pepper and plunged it il
| Barnizs face, and then dashed it right and left
almost suffocating two or three elderly gentle
men who had interfered. She was at lengtl
removed from the church, and the services wer
proceeded with. AS Mrs. Jacobs was put ou
at the door she said, i am now satisfied. Sh

church, and alleges that she has been slandere,

ordinary application that befell him pretty cool

not probable that Mrs. Jacobs will frequent thi
church much hereafter"

The resi- QuesrIon AGAIN.

The National Inteligencer, The Journal Of
Commerce and The LotisuiUe Journal are three
leading newspapers of that class which steadily
lament and oppose whatever tends towards ma
king the United States a nation exclusively of
free men. We have heretofore asked of two of
these journals the test question: Are you glad
that there is a prospect of the extinction Of
American slavery, or are you sorry2
From one of these journals we received no re-
ply: from the Inteiiige1lcer we received column
and halfof very handsomely composed disqui-
sition upon the subject, and about it, ending
with an irrelevant statement as to the former
expenditures of its proprietors to free slaves but
our question was not answered, No wonder
Ifthey say they are glad they will be asked
Then why do you not help the cause2 and if
they say they are sorry, they perpetrnte upon
themselves an enormous ethical qualification.
But the question is still the chief touch. stone
ofour current national policies and politics. A
true answer to it will instantly place the speak.
er either in favor of slavery ITSELF establishing
the old league between Southern shareholders
and Northern syeophants which held the nation,
before the war, so long under it's costly and COR
rupting and discreditable yoke, or in favor of
nation in which there is neither slavery nor in
voluntary servitude, except for crime; in favor
of nation all instinct and shining with the
warm, pure, vivid life of spotless freedom.
The test is crucial. We acknowledge that we
propose an inconyanient dilemma. But we feel
that it is our duty. The faithful surgeon must
probe through wound or gapgrene, no matter
how ungrscsfuliy tbs patients squirm or kcold.

THE VOICE OF HENRY CLAY.

"On which side would Henry Clay be- were
he alive to -day2" asked a Tennessee Wing, the
other day--a Tennessee Whig, who, after follow
ing for years, the standard of Henry Clay,
strayed away in 1861 into the reasonable fo,ds
of secession and disunion. Could he really,
have felt Doubt Could he believe, for mo-
ment, that Henry Clay would be on any other
side than that of his country-for the Union and
against any and all its foes7 His own treachery
and cOwardice, not his knowledge of the history
Of the great western Statesman and orator. must
have suggested the interrogatory. Were Henry
Clay alive to-day, he would be found exering
his great talents and influence to rebuke treason
and traitors everywhere, and keep the people Of
the loyal States up to the true standard Of faith
in Republican institutions, and to their duty 10
themselves to posterity, and TO the human race,
to push on the war until as Gov. johnson has
said, treason made odious and traitors pun
ished." Near the close of his career, on the 18th
of May, 1851, Mr.. Clay wrote letter to Thomas
B. Stevenson, Esq, in which his views of the
duty of the people of the United States were
distinctly expressed. The following is an ex-
tract from that letter:
"You ask what is to be done South Carolina
secedes? j answer unhesiatingly that the Com
stitution and Laws Of the United States Ds1r5
continue to be enforced there loh al the polcer of
The Union if necessary. Secession is treason, and
if it were MOTT would be virtual dissolution
of the Union. For If one State may secede ev-
cry Stale may secede; and how long in such a
state of things could we be kept together2 Sup
pose Kentucky were TO secede? Could the rest
of the Union tolerate a foreign power in their
very bosom? There are those who think the
Union must be preserved and kept together by
an exclusive reliance upon love and reason
That as not my yopinion. l have some confidence
in the instrumentality but depend upon it, that
no human Government can erist toittoot the po,o-
er Of applying force and the actual application of
it II, extreme cases. My belief is that it should
be applied to South Carolina, in the event of her
secession, she would be speedily reduced to obe-
dience, and that the Union, instead of being
weakened, would acquire additional strength" !"
Had the Union men of Tennessee in 1861, act
ed upon the counsel of Mr.. Clay, given in this
letter, instead of deceiving themselves, with the
paltry catch.word of "no coercion" they might
have saved their State the supreme folly of em-
barking in revolt against the Federal Govern
ment, and themselves and their wives, children
and friends the sufferings which have been vis-
tied upon them. Let them not try to hide their
cowardice, by attempting to create n doubt as to
what, in times like these, would he the position
of Clay, or jackson, or any of the great Union
statesmen, who lived and died, true to their man
hood, and to their country.

pose, on account of my robust health
A large portion of this army is re.

Iowa regiments have gone in for another
term. All the regiments of nv old bril-
gade have re-enlisied.
You ask me what we think of the
Presidents proclamation I have not
heard a single officer or soldier object to
any portion of it. The main point, and
the one without which il would suit none
of us, is that il provides for the fsal ex-
tinction of slavery We will consent TO
no arrangement that stops slort Of that !
The. negro regiments now form quite
an element in this army, and it is as
tonishing how completely all prejudice
on that subject has been done away
with. They make good soldiers
