To iht Editor of the World: Sir : \\ hen a man has steeped himself to the degree in all that is vile in morals and disreputable in manhood; is unworthy of truth in any shape; guilty of fraud and murder—crimes which commit a man of less shrewdness to the pen itentiary—as has been shown to be the case in the portraiture given o r Daniel E, Sickles, it yet seems that we have an administration to honor this man and insult a foreign power by making him an ambsssa dor thereto; and wo have a public party opinion to justify these acts. Will not these facts be an exten- uation tc the sins charged against the unhappy woman who called him husband, and who now sleeps for gotten in her dishonored grave* Will you not allow a simple word in behalf of one of her sex by one who has had opportunity to know ? I for one do not believe Mrs. Sickles guilty of the charge made against her. I believe Sickles to have been as vile in his treatment of his wife as lie was in every other respect; perhaps more vile, because he could wrong her with impunity, and sweep from the earth, covered with odium, a man whose graces created envy in his own mind, and whose manly sense of honor was a , reproach to his own vileness, and whose intellect and culture were far beyond his own reach, and whose only sin was in his simpathy for and kindness to a neglcctejJ, ill-used wife. 1 admit that it is a danger ous ground, this sympathy for a married woman, who better be con tent to suffer, endure and die than touch the tempting cup. Let this suffice on this head. That Mrs. Sickles was lovely in person, simple and childlike in character, all admit. Sn*h eharac- TCI ,7«rtw*—- * v v j j -*x* she the de<;ra<lei! , < ji'hS led the world to believe, her sensi bilitis would not have remained so acute that she died in less than tiro years of a broken heart. She was weak and cowardly, I admit. Alas ! these defects would have made her sacred in the eyes of a manly man, arid he would have done hfs utmost to shield her from evil. Let me depict the few last hours in the life of this injured woman. Stung, it may be, by an irre sponsible feeling of remorse, he pre tends in the eyes of the world to have restored her to favor. I will not discuss the propriety of this kind of klopstock sentiment. I speak of the fact. Sho was placed in a handsome house, with the ordinary appliances of wealth. Os the secret histoiy of the two at this time nothing need be said. She was ruined in char acter, broken in health, utterly lost to the world as only women can be lost—left without hope, without society, and without sym- pathy, except from the few who were related to her, and who loved and pitied her. She had long in tervals of nervous prostration, when she would lie for hours like a dying person. . She sat day after day head leaning upon her wasted hand, and eyes listless, seeing and caring for little in a world whose sunshine to her had been so darkly eclipsed. She sighed faintly but said little or nothing. She was a sad wreck. She knew she was dying, and ex pressed no thought or interest in anything but her absent daughter. One day she turned suddenly to a young friend and asked: “Do you think me a guilty woman?’ 1 “I wish to speak now while I cm. I was so shocked and terrified at that horrible time that I did lot know what I said. But I am not guilty of any sin. Mr. Sickles Has very violent—l was afraid of him he brought me a paper, which he said I must sign—he said he should be hung if I did not sign it; I never read one word of that paler ; I did not know one word writtel in it. I put my name where he Sold me, and to save his life.” She was sinking rapidly, and was ! carried to her bed from a long stint- I ing turn. As she opened her »yes, j reviving slowly, they fell upon the I face of Daniel E. Sickles, painted land framed, hanging before her.— Lifting her pale hand, she said : “Take it away.” Those about her remonstrated ; but the second nnd the third time she murmured, “Take it away.” The picture was removed. “Now place my daughter's face there,” she said with a sad smile. This was done, and she gazed with a longing, wistful look upon the young face, and sighed heavily. The poor weary eyes closed, and she .was gone to Ilim unto whom is open the secrets of the heart. One Who Knows. How Mr*. Lee ami Jack- SON ARE SPENDING TIIE SUMMER' Among these, I found hero Mrs. Robert E. Lee, whom I had not seen for thirty years. I had known when a boy, as tho belle of Arling ton, the daughter of George Wash ington Parke Custis, who was the adopted child of George Washing ton, but no blood relation. Then she was an elegant and attractive young lady, of affability of manners and personal charms. Alas ! I found her greatly changed by time and still more by disease. The charm of her manners still contin- ues, but her body has been terribly afflicted by rheumatism, which has made her such a cripple •that, for some years past, almost from the commencement of the late war, her only locomotion is affected in a chair with wheels, which is moved about by servant. In spite of this affliction she is a most agreeable and cheerful old lady, receives every one with a smile, and converses up on all subjects with great intelli gence, vivacity and good humor. There is nothing of tho laughter, querrulousness or discontent of the invalid in her manner or Conversa tion. Her time is occupied in so cial converse, Rowing writing, and playing with her grandchild, a jol ly little fellow, the son of Gen. W. H. Y- Lee. She is firil of energy night sewing for herself and ers. At. present she is engaged in making a dress for herself and one of her daughters out of some calico (sent as a present from the I’oenix ! cotton mills in Georgia. Mrs. Lee, though contented with her situation, and deeply grateful j for the many tokens and love and admiration which have been lavish upon her husband aud herself, very naturally sighs for her old home at Arlington, from which she has beet! J so ruthlesgle«s and bfirhnrouslv bati-j ished. She exp- t« to close beri life amid the scenes of the h«r>py day- of her childhood and girlhood. Even this most cherished desire, however, she will cheerfully sacri fice to hei dignity and pride, and will never consent to receive hack her estates if tendered with any conditions or as a charitable and merciful condescension and favor by the Government Which so cruelly devasted and appropriated properly bequeathed by her patriotic father, and never legally acquired by the authority which now retains it.— Arlington must cease to be a Fed eral cemetery when the family of llobt E Lee occupy it. The daughter-in-law of Mrs. Lee is here with her, the wife of Gen.l 11. F. Lee, one of the most elegant ad beautiful ladies 1 have seen in Virgiuia. She was a Miss Bolling, of Petersburg, of the old Pocahon tas stock always famous for beauty .and Bjnrit. Her commanding and ! elegant figure, her bright and beam | ing face, and air of mingled dignity, I grace and gentleness, would make i her in the largest assembly the cyn osure of all eyes, the “observed of all observers.” Mrs. T. J. Jack son is also making a sojourn in the place. She is a youthful and hand- 1 some widow, of affable manners, and her little daughter, a bright girl of seven or eight years, attracts universal attention, as the sole heiress of the illustrions hero of Chancellorsville and of a hundred other battles.— N.

A correspondent of the Boston j Post writes as follows: “The Em j press of Austria is enjoying the in j vigorating air of the Tryolce Alps. I Iler health seems to be re-establish ed. A Russian lady belonging to the household of tho Czarina has just related to me some interesting anecdotes of the Empress Eliza beth, whom she used to see and converse with daily last year at the baths of the Kissengen. Tho Em press is averse to a Eranco-Austri an alliance, from a fear that the Emperor Napoleon may prevail on Francis Joseph to depart from the liberal policy of Von Beust. She is naturally joyous, but the misfor tunes of her husband's relations, the political perturbation through which Austria has passed, and an intense sympathy with human suf fering, have infused into her a pas sive strain. She has a keen sense of the beautiful, and paints and sings like a poet and an artist.— The personal appearance of the Empress corresponds with her deli-" cate, loving, high-strung nature.— Her tall form is beautifully mould ed, her eyes are large and express ivo, and speaks often things which, correctly, etiquette forbids her tongue to utter. Her complexion is exquisitely transparent. I am assured by her Russian admirer that her rich brown hair sweeps the ground when she lets it fall over her shoulders to dry in issuing from the bath. Last year at Kissengen, a barber, mistaking her for some body else, as she was walking in the environs of the town, after bath ing, offered her a large salary if she would go with him to Paris and London, and let him tell his cus tomers that she was iu the babit of using some capillary wash ho sells. Bavarian girls, whatever may be the reason, have the finest hair in Europe. There is in the town f jlo §• ir Austrian Empress 'much of it. It is stated in her ep j itaph that the nourishment of her body .was absorbed by the capillary [ vessels, and that her hair in a short space of ten months grow, on its being shaved, to the extraordinary length of three yards.” today and To-Morrow, To«day wo gather bright and bountiful flowers-—to morrow they are faded and dead. To-day a wealth of leaves shade us—to-morrow, sere aLd fallen, they crumble beneath our tread. To-day the earth is covered with a carpet of green- to-morrow it is brown with the withered grass. To-day the vigorous stalk only bends before the gale- to-morrow leafless and sapless, a child may break the brittle stem. To-day the ripening fruit and waving grain to-morrow the land is taking its rest af the toil. To-day we bear the sweet song sters of the meadows and forest, the buzz and hum of myriad in sects—to-morrow--breatlie softly —all nature is hushed and silent. To-day a stately edifice, com plete in finish and surrounding, attracts the passer by--to-morrow a heap of ruins marks the site. To-day there are cattle upon the thousand hills—to-morrow they fall in slaughter. The fashion of the world passeth ! away, but let Christ dwell within us, and ihougli we may pass away like the faded leaf and the sapless stalk, we shall rise in newness of life. “No chilling winds nor poisonous breath Can reach that healthful shore.” Virginia. —The Radicals are ! pressing homo the idea that Demo cracy in Virginia means nothing but Radicalism after all.

STOWE AND LORD BY RON We fail, so far, in all our list of I over two hundred exchanges, to find one defonce of Mrs. Stowe’s attack upon the memory of Lord Byron. ihe alleged crime is everywhere (treated as a moral impossibility, the charges without evidence, and the publication without excuse. 1 here is a feeling prevalent, re vived by the attack of Mrs. Stowe, that Lord Byron’s assailed sister was the object of a most unnatural jealousy on the part of Lord Byron’s wife. Tho sister stood by the brother before he was married, and long after. She was devoted in his service and to his memory, when absent, and Byron was not slow to acknowledge and encourage this love, which, in its way, is as pure and holy as that of the truest hus band to the most sainted wife. It is true, Byron wrote to his sister the most impassioned letters, and two or three affectionate poems. Here are two stanzas to bis sister Augusta, but who—except a woman against a woman—would dare sug gest an unlawful thought or desire even in these warm words? Mrs. Stowe has magy amiable and excel lent brothers, no doubt devoted to her, but who woyld venture to as sociate any but the truest love from tliom to her ? BYIION TO ms SISTER. Though the day of my destiny's over. And the star of my fate Inch declined, Thy soft heart refused to discover The faults which so many could find; Though thy soul with my grief was ac quainted, It shrunk not to share it with me, And the love which my spirit hath painted It never hath found but in thee. Though human, thou didst not deceive me; Though woman, thou didst not forsake; Though hived, thou fbreborest to grieve inf; ’ • .- slandered, thou never couldst shake. Though trusted, thou didst not disclaim nm; , ./irmrgirqnrtea, it gfjp me. "•<** not to defame Nor unite, that the world might belie. From the wreck of the past which hath perished Tbits much I at least may recall, Tt hath taught me that what I most cherished Deserved to be dearest of all, In the desert a fountain is springing, lu the wild waste there still is a tree, And a bird in the solitude singing, Which speaks to my spirit of thee. Extraordinary Self-Immola tion.—The following statement ap pears in the Pall Mall Gazette: “Ail the extraordinary proceed ings of the many fanatical sects whose rapid increase has excited bo much anxiety in Russia are fairly thrown in the shade by a terrible act of self-immolation which is re ported from the government of Sar atow. A few months ago the prophets of anew religion made their appearance in that part of the em pire, preaching self-destruction by fire as the only sure road to salva tion, and so readily was their dread ful doctrine received by the ignor ant and superstitious peasantry, that in one large village no less than seventeen hundred persons assem bled in some woollen houses, and, having barricated the doors and windows, set the buildings on fire and perished in the flames. The authorities are doing all they can to stay the progress of this new mad ness, but their task is obviously a difficult one. The punishments which the law can inflict must have little terror for enthusiasts who deliberately choose a death so hor rible as the true road to Heaver- Mr. Peabody’s Las'” Donation. —The Richmo- Enquirer of Wednesday ■“J s : , . << ..afement has appeared in news-papers that Mr. Peabody has given to Washington College ?6(),0(‘0. This is a mistake. Mr. Peabody has a claim against the State of Virginia for about 930,009; and he has given that elaim to Washington College.” Madame Stowe’s sensational ar tiole on Lady and Lord Byron, has created great excitement in Eng land, and, as in America, it is uni,, versally denounced hv the Tress.
