Imaginary Disasters to the Wilmington
Expedition.

BRIGADE OF NEGROES AND A REGIMENT OF UNITED
STATES REGULARS REPORTED LOST OFF HATTERAs.
[From the Wilmington Journal Jan. q
The disasters OF the Yankee expedition against this
place begin to be found yet the reports vague
enough, but we think there is something in them.
Rumor says that the fleet has returned TO Beaufort,
which s likely Rumor also says that transports carrying
brigade Of negro troops lost off Hatteras also
gmen of United States regulars lost also sixteen
hundred artillery horses
We think these rumos are moro than half true. The
transports must have been hardly used in the Storm and

speech Of senator sherman.

Senator Sherman is at present making a
brief visit to the coal and oil mining re-
gions of Western Pennsylvania. He was
serenaded at Mt. Carlin on Monday even
ing, and in the course of his speech made
the following remarks as reported by the
Philadelphia Press:
awe count largely on the coal, iron, and
oil of Pennsylvania to develop our re-
sources, and we will not count in vain /;
ard let me assure you, we do not come to
find new sources of taxation, but rather
to see how far you can be relieved from
taxation. We are now collecting more
from the people than is necessary for
the changed condition of affairs. Du-
ring the war the Government was COM
pelled to resort to the utmost limits of
taxation, but l am happy to say that the
business of Congress will be, after securing
peace upon the basis of universal liberty,
to relieve ourselves from taxation no long
er necessary.
In making this reduction we naturally
look to those articles the chief cost of
which is low labor, the foundation of
wealth, and should be as free from bur
dens as the air. The cheerfulness with
which all classes and occupations paid
taxes during the war makes it doubly the
duty of Conuress to lessen and equalize
the taxes now. 1 confidently anticipate
that in short time duties on imported
goods, a moderate income tax and taxes on
luxuries, will enable us to hOnOrably per-
form ali our obligations. This is no time
for me to allude to political topics, but l
trust you will agree with me that it is
time to cultivate kindly feeling among all
shades of political opinions, and an intense
nationality.
awe have President in whose patriot
ism we can confde. hope he will yet
gain the same goodwill that it is said
Pennsylvania had for Andrew jackson.
l feel that it is his desire, as it is yours
and mine that our country may improve
all the advantages which Providence has
given US, BY the development of our in
ternal resources, by the protection of our
labor, and by the harmony and unity of
our people. The time will come when all
| the North, South, East and West will feel
that the dangers of the late war were just
as necessary to our national growth as the
Revolutionary war, or the war of 1872, and
we all feel that now the was is over, our
policy is peace and goodwill to all men.

NORTHERN OHIO NEWS.

The case of supposed infanticide report
ed few days ago, has assumed an alto.
gether different phase, since we published
the account. The true facts in the case
are as follows: A man named Downer,
upon hearing of the finding of the bodies,
went to see them, and they were recogniz-
ed as those of two children of a married
danghter of his, whose husband was ab-
sent. He further stated that the infants
were still born; that he boxed them up
aud took them to the cemetery for burial,
but that the superintendent asked him
more for burying them than he could af-
ford to pay. Another man, hearing of the
matter, offered to bury the bodies for two
dollars, which offer was accepted, and the
bodies taken away. This man, instead of
burying them, disposed of them by throw
ing them in the creek, as stated last week.

of Mr. Hamilton Glow, young man aged
Is years The facts, as we learnad from a

Russell, sons of Samuel Russell, who re-
sides on Henry McLean's farm, were out
coon hunting on Saturday night. They
succeeded in freeing three coons, and not
wishing to loose them, built fire in the
woods, provided themselves with blankets
and camped out during the night In the
morning, some of the neighbors, with
guns, gathered to witness the sport of
shooting the coons, among whom were W.
n. Tucker and Hamilton Glow. Mr..
Tucker loaded his gun, but for some reason
it would not go Off And while working
with It, with his back to young Glow, the
gun Accidently went of, the ball entering
the right cheek Of Glow, and passing up
through bis head, causing his death in half

New Route from Cleveland to Chicago
Revival of Old Plans.


We are glad to learn that our prominent
business men and capitalists, in connec
ton with parties from Chicago and New
York, of large means and well-known
financial experience, are now taking active
and determined measures to revive the
work upon our old and long cherished line
of road, between the cities of Cleveland
and Chicago. n
1t is determined, we understand, to first
complete that part Of the line between this
city and the city of Fort Wayne, distance
one hundred and two miles, and known as
the Middle Division, passing through the
counties of Seneca, Hancock, Putnam and
Paulding in this State, and Allen in the State
of Indiana by which a connection with
Chicago and Cleveland will be at once Sc
cured, with large and profitable local
traffic in timber, lumber and agricultural
products from the rich fields and forests
pierced by this line.
Upon this division the grading has been
done, and entirely paid for, as well as the
right of way; and it only remains for our
people to extend Eberal hand towards ]
the parties who are now moving in this
work, to secure the completion of this di-
vision of the road in twelve months
A large meeting was held by our citi-
zens, on Tuesday evening of last week, to
take steps towards raising subscriptions to
the First Mortgage Bonds of the Com
pany, and which subscriptions are to be
paid when the iron is laid down, and the
work secured to the subscribers. We are
that one hundred thousand dol |
lars and upwards have been already sub |
scTibed to this object in our city.
with promise of a large increase in the
country. On the line west of this, we are
advised that two thousand dollars per mile
has been promised towards the expense of
procuring ties and laying down the iron;
and in a few days this subscription will be
,aken, by parties appointed to canvas the
line, and we are assured that the iron,
rails, spikes, chairs, &C., for twenty-five
miles of the line, will be secured and fur
lished on the ground this winter, if the
parties meet with the liberality they ex-
oect and desire from the people who are
lirectly interested in the enterprise !
