Afii' Knitxh. t.'tr. -A Wasliiugtou cor- respondent cJ' the N Vork Time- w Sunday as follows: LaM evening I took tea with au old Itali gentleman whom I met at Sickles' prison, and who, though be has mingled little in the world posse -es a most refined and cultivated mind He told me that for thirty years lie had he the intimate friend of Mr. and Mrs. Sickles' family, ami his story of those years was at tho present moment so interesting, when so many fictions are floating about, that I thought I would give it to you in the simple touching words in whicli he told it. Mrs. Bagioli, lie told me, the mother of Mrs Sickles was born in the year 1319, at Croton Falls. Westchester county. Her maiden name was Cooke. At the age of fourteen she came with her family to New York, nnd was short ly after adopted by the well-known Italian poet and nuthor, Lorenzo da Ponte. She was a bright and somewhat beautiful girl, and very shortly after her adoption was married to An touio Bagioli, a composer and professor music, who was a visitor at Da Ponte’s bou,- M. Bagioli is a native of Italy, but has reside in your.city.for thirty years, and by those who know him, is said to be much respected and esteemed. Mrs. Bagioli bore to her lm-baud an only child. Therese Bagioli, the unhappy wife of Daniel E. Sickles, upon whom was lavished her parents’ undivided love. No ex pensc was spared to afford her all those ac eomplishments which form the best accompa niment of Beauty. She was educated at the best schools of New York, and, finally, sent to the Manhattanville Convent of the Sacred Heart. Da Ponte’s son, Lorenzo da Ponte Jr., resided at this time with his father, and was professor of belle* UUret, philosophy and literature in the University of New York.— With him, as with Dugatd Stewart, in Scot land, were placed several young men of edn cation. Of this number were Mr. Earncs, this city, Mr. Bigelow, of the Evening Post, aud Mr. Sickles. Tho Bagiolis also resided in tho same house, and continued to live there after the death of Prof. Da Ponte. Living in the same house in which his wife was born, Mr. Sickles saw her grow up from infancy to womanhood. Their association gradually rip ened into love. Ho pressed bis suit upon her father, who at once made serious objections to tho match, not from dislike to Mr. Sickles, bnt from the belief that bis daughter was too young for marriage, had seen nothing of the world, and was of a mind too unformed to read correctly her own heart Parental opposition in this, as in so many other deplorable cases, only ended in a clandestine marriage, which was performed before Mayor Kingsland, the Mayor of the city of New York. The consequence of this secret wedding soon made concealment impossible, and the marri age, after the full confession required by the Roman Catholic Church, was solemnized again, and received, the seal of religious ratification from the hands of Dr. Hughes, the Roman Catholic Archbishop, at his private residence. The fruit of that wedding was one fair child, with a face like her mother's, who. unconcious iy.at this moment suffers, perhaps, the deepest injury from her mother’s surrender to sin. It is, to day, precisely twelve mouths since that father and mother, now so deeply stricken, were making with affectionate zeal the gayest preparations for the christening of this child for whom, tho President, Mr. Buchanan, and the charming Mrs. Senator Slidell bad volun tarily sought the sponsorship. It is a singular coincidence that this little girl, Mrs. Sickles, and Mr. Sickles himself, were all three only children, over whose miserable fate three liv ing mothers now hang broken hearted. Tim Big Bolt-Tailca Bull-Fly of MISSOURI. The following short speech lately delivered before the Missouri Legislature, is well worthy of the leader’s perusal. It is short, but to the point, and enlivened throughout with the rid. teutons: Mr. Pitt offered the following : Resolved, That the Speaker be authorized to cause to be printed and posted, one hundred bills, announcing the eighth of January, 1859. Mr. Abney. I move to lay that resolution on the table. -Mr. Pitt.—Mr. Speaker, this House passed resolutions, sir, to celebrate, in an appropriate manner, the 8th of January. This is a reso lution simply asking that notice be given to the public of that day. AVe have declared intention, and now, when we come to publish it, some gentleman is suddenly seized with tho “retrenchment gripes,” and squirms around like a long red worm on a pin hook. (Laugh ter.) Gentlemen keep continually talking a- bout economy. I. myself, do not believe in tying the public purse with cobweb strings, but when retrenchment comes in contact with patriotism, it assumes the form of “smallness. 1 Much economy is like that of Old Skinflint, who had a pair of boots made for his littlo boy, without soles, that they might last the longer (Laughter.) I reverence “ the day we cele brate.” It is fraught with reminiscences the most stirring; it oriugs to mind one of the ~est events ever recorded in letters of liv- firo upon the walls of Fame, by the strong _ it arm of the god of war.'

Gentlemen, let us show our liber ality on patriotic occasions. Why, some men have no more patriotism than you could stuff the eye of a knitting-needle. Let us not squeeze five cents till the eagle on it squeals like a locomotive or an old maid. Let us print the bills and inform the country that wc are at full of patriotism as Illinois swamps arc of tad-poles. (Laughter.) I don’t believe in doing things by halves.

HCDERiaff, ‘Dear me,” said Ford I-angdon, as he tossed aside the stump of an old cigar and leaned hack reflectively in liis easy chair, “what a sweet nui sance it Is to be in love ; |>o- i ti vely all my affairs are going to ruin and I am not able to prevent it. ’Twas only this morning tliat I endeavored to figure up some neglected accounts, and had to give it up in despair. You see; Ed,” continu ed he, more particularly addressing his com panion, who was composedly replenishing the grate with anthracite, “it went on reiy well at tirst, but presently I began to think about Nel lie, how she looked when I last saw her, wheth er she was not vexed about something when we parted, and then the figures began to multiply and disappear until I had to commence over a- gain, and finally desist.” ■ “Well, Fred, why don’t you end it, and know whether you are to be happy or miserable for the future, at once F* “I mean to; but, you see; I’m so afraid of “O, bother! you’d get over the effects of it in a week. In my opinion it would be the best thing that could happen. I’ve been “through the mill,” and, let me tell you the more you show your love the more women tyrannize; at tirst everything is sweet, smiles for looking and kixscs for asking, but when the Cur syren thinks you are inextricably involved in the meshes of her charms, a change at once comes o’er the spirit of the dream, and you may discharge a balloon full of sighs before you bring down a single smile. Now just try his new brand; push tho spittoon a little nearer, and I’ll tell some thing that happened to me before I knew youF‘ “1 shall he delighted, I’m sure,’’ said "Fred; “but give vs facts, Ed ; that is, don’t spin your yam too literally as you proceed.” “I promise you I wont, you only listen!— Ten years ago I was of your age, studying with old Doctor Clark in New Yon;, and found it about as hard work to conquer the hidden mysteries of medicine as you did yesterday to balance your accounts. Yes, somehow. I’d got the idea into my head that Emma Claverly was perfection; tliat a glance from her eyes eclipsed Venus, and that a smile from her rosy mouth was the fairest flower nature could offer to gaze upon. “Every spare hour found me hovering around the little rose-embowered cottage in the extreme suburbs of the city, where she and her paternal relative resided. ' I had the good fortune, as I then considered it, to be acquainted with her papa, and surely tho infinity of snuff I took, and the quantity of old fogyism I discussed, to creep into his good graces would have killed any one but a 1 over.—Yet 1 don’t believe the dear old gentleman ever for a moment inspected that I loved Emma. Be that as it may, he al ways went to sleep after tlie second game of backgammon whicli I endeavored to consummate with all decent celerity. “Eiuma soon found out I was in Iore, and I believe enjoyed it amazingly. Then 1 had a peat deal or the sentiment clinging to me, and 1 remember, one evening departing with the determination to stifle the little rascal who had so skilfully used me as a target, because Emma had played with the kitten the whole evening, to the entire exclusion of every thing else; but the next evening found ine tlicre again, and I could see the sly little maiden's eyes sparkle as she enjoyed the sport. “I assure you, Fred—confidentially, of course —I have often thought that women seldom love really; with them it seems more a pleasure of triumphing over some unfortunate beau until lie become* too earnest to please longer, and then cut the silken bonds, caring little whether there arc other invisible bands that time alone can sever. However, to ray stoiy. “One evening I found I had a rival in the Held, a regular pink and cream looking lady- killer, who nursed a delicate moustache and im maculate shirt bosom, and tlie tint hour of our acquaintance, during a discussion, patronizingly called me my “dear hoy.” I made up my mind to bring matters to a focus pretty soon, and, early the next evening, being dressed to kill, took the cars with the firm determination to ven ture, anil, If relUsed, to do something desperate; wliat that should be I had not quite resolved I got there in due time and found the fates jropetious; Emma was all alone, her papahav- ng gone to see an old friend, as she demurely informed me. Somehow I never felt it so diffi cult to talk as just then, it was my tirst attempt in that line, and therefore couldn't be wondered at I distinctly remember repeating three times over what a delightful evening it was, which no body contradicted, ami at length blundered out a request for my Cair enslaver to accompany me on a walk; to this she replied, shortly, in the ne gative. I then said I had something particular lo communicate, and that was the reason I wish- ed her to accompany me out “Well, say it here.’ replied she. I took her at her word, with a sort of nervous courage, and commenced to recite a well written declaration that I had committed to memory for the occasion, and almost half got through when I perceived her smiling I tell you, Fred, I felt more blood aliout my cranium just then,than usual,and I am afraid I finished rather abruptly. “I am taken so much by surprise, Mr. Al len,” saidshe, (I could swear the littlo hypocrite had ticen expecting it for the last month) that I really do not know what to say.” I implored her to say yes, but slic was perfectly obdurate, and tlie most 1 could obtain was that she would let me know. ‘Thus matters rcniaincd for a month or two, and, evening after turning, I asked her to say yes,—in lact I got quite in practice, and from those first initiatory lessons learned to do the nutter up in proper style, but all in vain. Em ma would tell me not to tease her, and Fd go away more inlatuated than ever. Just then my 'father whom you know lives near Charles- ton, S. C., was token suddenly ill, and I re ceived a letter requesting my immediate attend ance. A steamer sailed on the following day, and I got all ready, and then, bad as you may think me for it, went to see Emina, resolved on carrying her consent by a coup de main. But she defended the outposts gallantly, and tho ut most I could obtain was a promise to write if she resolved on a favorable answer. I went, and the novelty of the journey drove Emma a little out of my head. When I arrived I found my lather last recovering, and in a week or so was as well as ever; as I had not been home for a year, of course they made considerable of a fuss, and among other excitements, gave a par- for my especial benefit, to which the neigh boring chivalry and beauty were invited. It was there I met Matilda Merton, and the glance of her eyes shattered the armor thas the visions of Emma had hitherto clothed me with; and when I came to know and converse with her, Emma's power was entirely destroyed. the post office I met him returning with a smil ing countenance beaming with the conscious uesa of hai iug performed every thing right. ••Three davs after I had the pleasure of learning that Miss Merton had been engaged for six months to a lieutenant in the navy. After that 1 departed for N.

Come, let’s be moving on towards the academy, or we won't hear much singing to-night.” The Mirknnsaw Traveller. Our friendly and gratify tug-coimnendful cor respondent “ Saw Dust,” of Pass Christian, Miss., must pardon us for presenting a some what reduced copy of his clever sketch, where in wc have endeavored to preserve the spirit of the original: In the early settlement of Arkansas, a traveller, after riding seme eight or ten miles without meeting a human being, or seeing a human habitation, came at length, by a sudden turn of the wood-road, to a mis erable “shanty,” tlie centre of a small clearing, in what had originally been a Black-jack- thicket,” whence the ouly sound that proceeds is the discordant music of a broken-winded fiddle, from the troubled bowels of which the occupant is laboriously extorting the monoto nous tune known as "The Arkansas), or Hack ensack Traveller.” Our traveller rides up to within a few feet of the door, which was once the bed-frame of a cart body, now covered with bear skins and hung upon two big wooden hinges. After much shouting, the inmate ap pears, fiddle in hand and evidently “wrathy” at being interrupted in the exercise of his art llie following colloquy ensues, tho indefatiga ble fiddler still playing the first strain of “The Arkansas Traveler,” which in fact he contin ues, at sadden intervals, until the dialogue, as will be seen, is brought to an unexpected con clusion. If this be not seeking lodgings under difficulties,” we should like to know what might be legitimately so considered: Traveller: “Friend can I obtain accommo dation fov the night with vou ?” Arkansas “Artist,” “ No, Sir—'nary ’com- modation for the night with you ?” Traveller: “ My dear sir, I have already travelled thirty miles to day, and neither my self nor :ny horse has had a mouthful to eat; why can’t you accommodate me for to-night ?” Ark. “ Artist,” “ Just case it can't he did. We arc plum out of everything to eat in the in the house: Bill’s gone to mill with the last nubbin tf corn on these premises, and it’ll be nigh onto the shank of to-morrow evenin’ afore he comen home, unless sutbin oncommon hap pens.” Traveller : “ You surely have something that I cin feed to my horse; even a few pota toes would be better than no food.” Ark. •’ Artist ” “ Stranger, our catin’-roots 'gin out about a week ago; so your chance U slim thar. Traveller: But my friend I must remain with you, any way. I can’t go any father, whether I obtain anything to eat or not. You certainly will allow me the shelter of your roof ?”' Ark. “ Artist“It can't be did, old boss. You see we’ve got only one dried hide on the premises and me and the old ’oaian alius occu pies that; so wbar’s your chauce ?“ and he'u take keer of him. Ole woman, you call Sail and Nano.- up from the spring; tell Nance to go into the spring boose and cut off a good big piece ov harsteak; to brile for the stranger's supjKT; tell Sail to knock over a chicken or two, and git out some flour, and have sum flour doted and chicken lixins for the stran ger. (Bill heaves in sight twenty four hours earlier than he was expected a half hour be fore.) Bill, O Bill! there's a stranger here, and he plays the turn of the “Hackensack Traveller;” go to the corn crib and git a big pumpkin, and bring it to the house, so the stranger can have suthin to set on and skin a tatcr 'long with me and the old woman, while the gals is gettin’ supper; and, Bill take the boss and give him plenty of com; no nubbins, Bill; then rub him down well; and then, when you couje to the house, bring up a dried hide and a barskin, for the stranger to sleep on; and then. Bill, I reck- hc’II play the turn of the “ Rsckcnsack Travel ler” for us.” Tho pumpkin was brought; the “ taters ” were “skinned" and eaten; tho “ turn * of the “Hackensack Traveller” was repeatedly played, to abundant edification; and the “gals” finally announced tliat “ supper was ready;” and al though instead "store-tea,” they only had “sax- fluctea doing," without milk; yet the repast was one to he long and gratefully remcmebered. Tlie traveller remained all night, and was pilot ed safely over the “ big creek ” early the next morning. Of trutli, “music has'charms to soothe the savage breast!”—Knickerbocker. A Tougb nn. A good story is told in an Eastern paper of a drunken husband by his amiable spouse. Af ter trying various expedients, she at last be thought herself of a plan of reforming her lord. She engaged a watchman for a stipulated reward to cany Philander to the xvatch-housc, while yet in a state insensibility, and to frighten him a little when he recovered. Under this arrange ment Philander woke about eleven o’clock at night and found himself lying on a pine bench, in a strange and dim apartment liaising him self upon his elbow, ho looked around untjl his eye rested upon a man seated by the stove, smoking a cigar, ‘Where am I ?’’ said Philan der. “In a medical College," said the cigar smo ker." ‘Wliat a-doing there ‘Going to be cut up.' ‘IIow came that T ‘Why, you died yesterday, while you were drunk, and we bought your body to make an anatomy 1 It’s a lie, I’m not dead.’ “No matter; we bought your carcarss of your wife, who had right to sell it, for its all tiic pod she ever could make of you If you’re not dead, that’s no fault of the doctors, and they’ll cut you up, dead or alive.’ ‘You will do it, eh !' asked the old sot. ‘Ay, to be sure we will—now, directly,’ xvas the resolute answer. ‘Well, can’t you let ine have something to drink before you begin ? This last speech satisfied the watchman that Philander’s xvas a hopeless case, and as his reward was contingent on successful treatment of the patient, he was not a little cliagrined at the re sult ; so, with no gentle handling, he tumbled | tlie irrcformable drunkard out of the watch- house.

Weeks glided by, ami I had ceased entirely write to roy former New York enslaver, who had never replied to any of my letters. Miss Merton engrossed the wliolc of my thoughts, and one morning, I was not alittlc surprised by receiving, a letter from New York, evidently in Emma’s liand writing. To tell you the truth, I trembled a little aa I opened it, (perhaps with curiosity) but my suspense was soon at an end ; it merely contained tlie single word, “Yes,'’ written in largo letters, and, underneath, the name “Emma." Now that letter, some weeks ago, would have caused something of nn excitement in the ay of a dozen darkies flying round to pack that peisimtnon tree, and witn my blanket I'll make a bed in the' fence-corner.” Ark. “ Artist,” “ Hitch your boss to that ’aiumon tree ?—in a horn!

Another great Ida Hill land-slide occurred last evening about 8 o’clock, with destructive conse quence, as it broke down and buried up a largo portion of St Peter’s College, in course of erec tion. Tho building was intended to be a very large one; 200 feet in length and live stories high, with two towers. Only two stories had been completed, and the work of construction was in vigorous prosecution at tho time of tlie disaster. The walls of die building served as a harrier to resist the moving mass, and though they arc ruined and buried up, they probabl served to avert the destruction of much proper ty, and perhaps several lives, on lots farther west The side was noiseless until it struck the side of the college building, when there was a fearful crash of walls and timber. The centre of the building is buried up to the depth of sev eral feet At the south about onc-quartcr of the building is still standing; at the north lianlly raore than the cml wall remain. It is said that from $10,000 to $15,000 had been already expen ded on the work—the foundation being very solid. Probably two thirds of, this is a total loss. No workmen had been in the building since tlie previous day (St Patrick’s being a holiday;) hut twenty minutes before the occurrence a crowd of boys were playing upon the beams and walls. The time of the accident prevented a fearful loss of life—over one hundred mechan ics being on the building.—Troy Bad get, March 18. ,'&c., but. as it was.

On Saturday last a meeting of delegates as sembled at Opelika, to consider the feasibility of a Bail Road from Opelika to some point on the Selina and Tennessee Road. Delegates were present from Tallapoosa, Chambers, Russell and Columbus. Thc claims of two routes were presented, and strongly enforced by their respective friends. Thc route from Opelika, or some point on thc Selma Tennessee Road, west of tne town of Talladega, was presented and advocated by Messrs. Me Craw and Slaugh ter, of Tallapoosa; and tliat from Opelika via Lafayette, Jlilltown and, Louina, to Oxford, on the Selma aud Tennessee Rpacl, was presented and advocated by Mr. Smith, of Randolph, and Messrs. Carlyle and Stone, of Layayctte. Each party gave a vety favorable report of the, ad vantages that would accrue to Opelika, Colum bus and S avannah, from their respective routes. In thc absence, however, of any definite infor mation as to the probable cost of the respective roads, or the prospects of liberal subscriptions by tl ic people on the line of the routes, a motion was made by the Opelika and Columbus dele gations. to adjourn the meeting over to the 4th Saturday in April, in order to give the of the respective road- an opportunity tAF'*" sent their claims in a shape, the value Of warn!* would be bolter understood.
