On niy arrival I found Mr. Sickles in his bedroom, lying on his face on the pillow overwhelmed with grief. Some time clasped before I could obtain from him an ac count of the cause of bis affliction. He kept exclaiming, “I am a dishonored and ruined man, j *«*>• Vi and cannot look you in tho fiicc.’’ Finally he disclosed to me the following circumstances:— On Friday. Mr. Sickles received an anonymous letter, stating that his wife was in thc habit of meeting Mr. PI Barton Key at a house on Fif teenth street, in a negro neighborhood. Through an agent Mr. Sickles had ascertained that Mr. Key had. rented a house in that neighborhood, and was in tho habit of meeting a lady there corresponding in dress and appearance to. the wife of Mr. Sickles. Being possessed of these facts, he stated them to bis wife on Saturday night. She said at once “ that she perceived she was discovered,” and thereupon made a full confession of her guilt in writing. By this confession it appeared that this criminal inter course had been going on since April, 1868, sometimes in thc absence of Mrs. S., at the house of her husband, and that at the commence ment of the present session of Congress Mr. Key lind hired an untenonted house on Fifteenth street, where they were in the habit of meeting oH , -v- .. v— frequently. » | , cvcning J XL?

Noiv why would not a persimmon tree, (let me ask Mr. Gitnbrcde,) stamped upon note paper, or graven on a seal, be a pretty hierogly phic for secrecy ?

The latest popular demonstration of the kind that we have seen reported, is a meeting of the planters and oth ers of Beach Island and the vicinity, on Wed nesday, the 9th inst. We give below their resolutions: Whereas, much has recently been said in regard to the importation of Africans into the country and we believe it to be proper that an expression of public sentiment should be made in regard to the matter.

I had was appointed Attorney for the Dis- wa jjj tH | about thirty feet on my way to the Club President Polk, and has held the office ij 0ll se when I heard Mr. S. exclaim, in a loud 1 date of his first commission. Mr. vo j ce --Key, you scoundrel, you have dishonored thoiit the time of his marriage, narrow- 1 mv house—you must die.” I turned immedi- nd a duel witli Colonel May, who lutd a (?iy an d saw Mr. Key thrust his hand in his J“.Dr to MLns. Swan. Mr. Key had an | vest or g ;j c coat pocket, take a step in the di- tedctaanly manner, and was a general j rection of Mr. Sickles, and simultaneously I a society. He had jast a little of that heard thc dischargp of a pistol. Mr. Key then liieh is so distinct from the hustling : ra pjj|y advanced on Mr. Sickles, seized him ind unrest of tho Americtui charac- • w jtj, ) IIS | ( .ft hand by the collar of thc coat, and va- holed fir some cccntricities of man-: ^0,0,5 to make an cflort to strike with sotne- & uuily him rather interesting than I thing in his right hand, which 1 then supposed i* lie had a flair reputation at the liar, j to lie a weapon. Mr. Sickles Kicked into the i rtlly esteemed among gentlemen I n ,iddlc of the street, when ho succeeded in ex-1 e associated as an upright and ; tricating himself from Sir. Key’s grasp, drew a j by professional gymnasts. At ten minutes past seven he stepped into the water, which in another moment was boiling, surging, and rushing beneath his feet. The baldest of the lookers on held his breath in suspense, as the daring man receded from shore He alone seemed unmoved, and passed on, slowly and carefully, avoiding the larger rocks which were made apparent by the eddying current. His steps at first were very short and carefully made, but afterwards became bolder and lon ger. The stilts, of course, were so placed that the current struck only against their sharp edges, and produced but little effect; but the danger from thc sunken rocks, and the conviction that a single false step would send him to death, produced a feeling that was horribly painful. Once or twice be seemed to lose his balance, and a sickening shudder ran through each one of the beholders. Recovering himself he still kept on—still receded, till to our straining eyes he could scarcely be distinguished from the foaming waters. The middle of the river was attained at last; hours seemed to have fied. but it was barely seventeen miuutes since he left the shore. As he approached the deepest and most dangerous part of bis route, the sus pense became more fearfully intense. No word was spoken, except that one man offered anoth er five dollars for a moment’s use of his lorg nette, which offer passed unheeded. Just ns Morelli reached the swiftest and dec|>est portion of the current, he seemed to totter—sink—he threw up bis arms: I closed my eyes. Opening them a moment after, I saw that he was stiiTstandiog. A few moments more nnd he had reached the Canadian bank— and fell exhausted into the arms of two men who were waiting for him. At this hour (3 P. M.) he has nearly recover ed, and though still in bed, received thc con gratulations of dozens of visitors who came pouring in. He left the American shore 9C0 feet above the fall, and came out about 1,000 feet above the Canadian. The money has al ready been handed over to him, and all will a- gree that it was fairly won. Resolved, 2d, While we entertain these views in regard to the institution, and pledge our lives to maintain it, believing it to be con stitutional, of immemorial usage, aud sanc tioned by Holy Writ itself, wc at the same time desire to see the supremacy of the laws upheld, and deprecate their violation from whatever source the infraction comes. Resolved, 3d, That we of thc South, having denounced thc violation of the law in other sections, do not desire to stultify ourselves by committing the same offence, but prefer that “higher law” doctrine (if acted out any way) should prevail in a more congenial lati tude than our own. Resolved, -lth, That we look upon the impor tation of'Africans, under existing circumstan ces, as having a mischievous tendency, calcu lated to produce discord at home and increas ed opposition abroad—a state of things much to be regretted, since it is the true policy of the South to present a united front to the world. New Atlantic Telegkapu Cable.—Profes sor Allan, the telegraph engineer, recently met at the Liverpool Underwriters’ Rooms, a large number of the principal shipowners, mer chants, and others interested in this great un dertaking. Several specimens of his deep sea rope or conductor,” with which he purposes to carry out his system of ocean telegraph, were exhibited. Thc mechanical principle in tlie construction of these ropes, is the reverse of those at present used, the peculiarity being that the whole metalic strength is placed in the centre of thc insulating medium, forming an inextensiblc core, and preserving the insulation from injury by tension. The core or conduct or is composed of solid cop[icr wire surrounded -with steel wires, capable of bearing a strain of 15 cwt without stretching. Its weight is 10 cwt to thc mile, and only 2 in sea water. Thc conducting power is greater, relatively, by 120 per cent than that of thc late Atlantic Cable; and, from its lightness, upwards of 3,000 miles can be conveyed in one vessel. Thc remarks of the Professor seemed to give satisfaction to those present Fort Valley and Brunswick Knit ROAD. Wc learn from the Hawkinsvillc Times, that at the meeting held in that place on the first Tuesday in March, of the friends of the above road, a committee was appointed to obtain sub- ficriptiomi of stock to tho rood, ami that during that evening tho committee obtained subscrip tions to thc amount of sixty-thousand dollars.— This looks like the pcople'in that quarter were in dead earnest. Tlie enterprize cannot fail where such determination prevails.—Columbus Sun. A Typographical Dud. DANIEL B. SICKLES, ....

The Proprietors of Risley’s Compound Extract of BUCHU would solicit your attention to that prepara tion, with a view to its trial in your practice. Coun try Physicians especially, whose facilities are limited for obtaining at all times fresh and reliable prepara tions of the kind, would do well to make a trial of its remedial qualities, and should it prove as represent ed in all diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder and Ure- tha, will it prove not only a convenient form forgen- eral nse, lint an agreeable preparation, so far as re gards taste, Ac u to your patients. The preparation, { rou will bear in mind, was suggested by several em- neut Physicians who wanted u reliable article in a convenient form for their own practice; and by them and hundreds of others it has been used for years, alway with happiest results. In all diseases of the Urinary Organs it is a remedy safe, speedy, ef fectual, and can bo relied upon with the utmost con fidence. And so also in Uterine disease it will be found to be most admirably adapted, and if taken according to directions will very seldom if ever fail in effecting aspeedy and permanent cure. IIARKAL.
