Btjbenback'b Btation, Butler county, Ohio,
August 317 A. M. Commencing at midnight
lust night, the Hamilton and Dayton depot whs
the theatre of unexampled excitement. Tbe
depot soon filled with an eager and restless
throng, but the long Hues of empty cars were
kept locked, and not till half-past 2 were they
opened. About thirty cars In the depot were
devoted to the excursionists, and five minutes
after they were unlocked every seat was taken,
and the aisles crowded by persons unable to
obtain seats.
TbouRh there was a creat deal of noise, Jost
ling, hurry and bustling, no disorderly conduct
was noticeable. By.three.Q'clock not less than
IMiO persons were on tbe train. At 330 the train
glided away on Us Journey. The cars moved in
two trains, every car of which was densely
filled. The members or the press congregated
In one car, filling It to repletion.
Representatives are present from New York,
Bt. Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit, Day.
ton, Cleveland, and many other places. What
ever element of the roughs or rowdies was on
board, it did not make Itself obnoxious, nor
even suspicious. Tbe proportion of respecta
bility was in the majority. It would not have
been easy to foretold from appearances what
mission the excursion party was on. It looked
as much like a big political delegation or a
general stag plc-nlo party as anything elxe.
At 20 minutes 4 the trains passed Glendale,
and at a quarter before 6 A. M. ran Into Hamil
ton, It being then broad daylight. Here a stop
of twenty minutes was made, and a cloud of
passengers made a peaceable but eager raid on
a German saloon for their morning bitters.
The train started again and a few minutes
after t) reached the point of debarkation, which
Is Brlslnbard's, six mfles north of Hamilton
and thirty-one from Cincinnati. The site lor
pitching the ring is in a pretty grove of oaks
and walnut trees on the west of the railroad,
arid but two miles walk from the track.
Jerry Douavan, Jones' trainer, appeareu on
the scene, and at this hour the men are still
forming the ring, and the two thousand per
sons assembled are as good-natured and orderly
as if on a picnic. Many are engngea tu reading
tbe morning papers, which have Just arrived.
Others are carrying fence-rails, with the futile
expectation of forming seats. Many prominent
Clncinnatians are present.
The morning is a gem or good weatner. xne
air is cool and elastic, and tbe sky is un
clouded. The sunlight has an autumnal clear
ness, and altogether the morning is a strange
contrast to the bloody speotaele soon to be
enacted In the ring now being traced. The
outside ring is about one hundred and twenty
feet In diameter, ana the inside, ring or tue
regulation size, is on a level piece ot forest
sv. ard.and is surrounded by an amphlthreatre of
trees, which form nearly a complete circle. The
indications now are mac me ngnt win oe wit

845 A. M. The ring is now formed, and all in
great confusion. The spectators are deployed
In a large circle fifteen feet from the Inner
ropes. The reporters nave seats three from tne
ropes. Between the general lookers-on and
the reporters is a cordon of ring-keepers armed
with heavy cudgels. By actual count, the re

A Card from Mrs. Therese Yelverton.
To the Editor ot the N. Y. Tribune.
rilr: A friend having forwarded me a copy of
your Journal, 1 cannot retrain from acknow
ledging to tbe editor, as also to his readers, the
deep gratification which tbe perusal of his arti
cle upon my case has afforded me. I was not
prepared for the kind Interest manifested for
me In that distant land. I had not anticipated
that the cry of my wrongs had awakened so
powerful an echo on the other side of the
Atlantic. In my solitary struggle for right
and honor (for solitary a woman de
serted by her husband must ever be), I Utile
deemed, even In the silent watches of the
night, that the eyeso. a great nation were fixed
npon me, observing my perilous course, mark
lug if I should stand or fail in the battle of life
noting whether I should sutler and be strong,
or succumb a victim like so many other poor
victims, not merely to man's perfidy, but to a
?;reai social wrong a nation's iniquitous, uuso
ete, and effete laws remaining on tbe statute
book a cloak for infamy ot tbe deepest dye. I
had not fully realized until now, that tbe sym
pathy of the Just and noble sustains, though
unknown, the oppressed martyrs as well to
laws as to religion. But It Is suddenly revealed
to my wearied soul, like a 'right opening In
tbe heavens wben the storm 1 bt the darkest,
tbat one ray of sympathy from out the
vast chuos of dim distance, is 11-- .he light dis
covered by the bewlldnreu mariner, thrilling
hope through his heart's core, for It tells hiut
of another heart regarding him and bravely
responsive to his own. True as it is that "union
is power." so also Is sympathy strength. How
olUn the clasp of a friendly baud, lu the hour
shield than a buckler of steel, or eoatof mall!
I'leosant it la to me, whose pleasures are nam
bTed few, to grasp this mysiio stranger-hand
of a great people, whoso highest aspirations
tend ever towards truth and Justice, as exem
plified by their brilliant, arrow-like ascent
among tbe nations of the earth, there
to reign and rule by the omnipotence of
will. For all that springs and flourishes and
strikes upward, comes from a germ sound and
true. The love of rectitude marks the grandeur
of soul, tbe highest approach to the Divine
under the type human. Woe, It seems to me,
shall wait near man or nation who falsifies his
conscience for reasons of expecUenoy who
makes or administers laws agaluBt equity, to
enslave a million of consciences to enslave a
political policy of a so-called religion of
Btate, to sanction by law that marriage
vows are mockeries if (according to the
19th of George II) they have been exchanged
between Protestant and Catholic, Ignorant
at tne time of law or fact. Klther party can re
pudiate the marriage by setting up a previous
profexsion of religion; and yet, to decide
whether this legal monstrosity be right or
wrong, has required seven years of litigation
before the Courts of the United Kingdoinl To
decide whether bigamy has been committed by
a man who, assuming Catholicity, marries a
Catholic lady, and subsequently adopting Pro
testantism, marries a Protectant, has required
all the legal acumen of the kingdom, at a cost
of 120,000 at a cost (alaM who shall estimate the
amount?) of misery. The latest, not the leat,
decision declines in tbe discretion of the
Court to ascertain whether such facts are
rlgbt or wrong, but leaves the question open to
another seven years' litigation under tbe
mantle of Justice. In Scotland it has been my
unfortunate destiny to become tbe victim to
mouldering, barbarous laws, viz., of putting to
silence, by which a man has been able to keep
his first wife at bay for seven years, while he
eDloys tbe fortune of the second. This, also, Is
a knotty point, which It has taken tbe court
seven years to decide. Suffice it to say, they
have not yet accomplished the feat of putting
me to silence. Buob, however, are the facilities
lor polygamy available by the Irish and Scotch
laws. I pray you to excuse my Intruding upon
your valuable space with private as well as
public grievances: but your kind interest must
form iny apology, and I beg yon to accept the
assurance of my sincere appreciation.

Paris, August 16, 1867.
WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
A Proclamation of Amnesty to be Issued
by the President The Full History of
the Sickles Affair.
Washington, August 30. There is reason to
believe that In a few days the President will
Issue an important proclamation of amnesty,
supplemental to that Issued on the 29lh of May,
1865. It will not proclaim universal amesty,
but will enlarge the fourteen classes named in
that proclamation. Among the classes excepted
by tne latter, out which, l am assarea. win oe
Included In the coming proclamation, will beall
persons wno snail nave Deen military
or naval officers of the Confe
derate Government, who !are below
tbe rank of Brigadier-General In the
army, or captain In the navy; also all persons
wno are or suau nave Deen pretenaea civu or
diDlomatio otlicers. or otherwise domestic or
foreign agents of the Rebel Government; also
Who nave Deen engagea la any way in treating
otherwise I ban lawfully as prisoners of war,
persons found in the United States service as
officers, soldiers, seamen, or in other capacities.
Other details are yet to be arranged, which may
delay the issuance of the proclamation for at
least a week yet, but it is probable that It will
be decided to pardon all persons except high
officials who may be on bail for trial, before or
after conviction.
The Cabinet to-day had before them a com
plete record of the proceedings between Gene
ral Grant and General Sickles relative to the
latter's course in North Carolina in interfering
with the process issuing from a United States
Court, and which eventually led to Sickles'
prompt removal by tbe President. This record
It was decided to publish, aud It will be given
out in Monday's papers. Tbe correspondence,
however, with General Grant, which is spicy
and Interesting, will not be made public at the
same time, though it was read at to-day's
Cabinet meeting. It appears from this that
wben General Sickles' military officers pro
hibited the execution of a civil process
from the United States Court, the
United States District Attorney reported
the fact to the Attorney-General, and
General Grant was informed of it. Believ
ing at that time tbat be had tbe power to annul
or modify the orders from military commanders,
General Grant telegraphed to General Sickles
to modify his Order No. 10, under which his
subordinates obstructed the United States
Courts, so as to obviate such obstructions In
future. General Sickles replied to Grant ask
ing that tbe latter's order of supervision might
beheld in abeyance until he (Sickles) could
explain by mail. When this explanation
arrived it appeared to be a plausible state,
roent, showing tbat Order No. 10 protected
tbe people from summary executions for
debt, and that it gave great satisfaction to
the States of North and South Carolina.
General Grant thereupon telegraphs Sickles
tbe Important faot tbat he withdraws bis
order to him to modify Order No. 10, thus leav
ing the latter in force. At this remarkable stage
of affairs, the United States Marshal of Norta
Carolina steps in and again attempts to serve
tbe civil process, but Is resisted by Sickles, by
virtue of tbe continuanoe in full effect of his
order. These facts were reported here, when the
Executive directed the United States District
Attorney to procure an Indictment against one
Daniel . Sickles for a violation of tbe orlmi
hal laws of tbe United States in obstructing a
United States Court. General Sickles, hearing
of this, at once telegraphed to General Grant lu
a spirit of fierce denunciation of the step, declar
ing that he(Slckles), as commander of a military
Clin rlct created by an act of Congress, was not
amenable to any grand Jury or United States
Marshal or United States District Attorney,
and Intimated that be would answer to no in
dictment founded on tbat charge. It does not
appear, I beltove, that General Grant answered
this, but it does appear that the President of
tbe United States gave an order on last Monday
which removed Sickles, and thus vindicated
tbe Judiciary of the Government, and secured
tbe execution of a process issued by the highest
Judicial officer in tbe land. The full corres
pondence, of which the above Is an abstract,
will probably be made publlo in due time.

As soon as we learned the details of Bridget

reporter to Newmarket, N. J., where Dr. Wil

upon Dr. Corlell, whom he found at the house
In which the tragedy was enacted, and con
versed freely with him concerning tho state

that Induced the crime. Dr. Corlell, as was
to be anticipated on a day that recalled so
vividly tbe occurrence that had made him a
widower and rendered his child motherless,
was In an agony of grief. He spoke passion
ately of bis fondness for bis wife, and denounced
with vehemence tbe woman who murdered
her. Of tbe motive for tbe deed, he said he felt
convinced now tbat it was not robbery, but tbat
Bridget bad somehow conceived the insane idea
that she could supplant Mrs. Corlell in his affec
tions. He dwell upon the absurdity of suoh a
thought, and said that neither he nor Mrs. Co
rlell bad ever treated Bridget with any degree
of familiarity.
Dr. Corlell read the confession of Bridget with
a great deal of emotion. He pronounced false
most of tbe statements in It that were matters
on the face of them of which be must have had
cognizance. He said he first became acquainted
with Bridget wben she was living as a servant
at Mr. Dayton's house, abont a mile and a half
from Newmarket. 8ne was 111 there, and he
was called upon to attend her. He next saw
her when she was living at Wlnstead's, In New
Brooklyn, where he also attended her. He
denied that he bad expressed a wish that
she should come and reside with him, and
denied all ber statements to tbe effect tbat he
bad urged her to leave William Corlell and
come and live with him. He said that
she came to bis bouse, saying that she
was about to leave William Coriell's employ
ment, and asked him to engage her; that he
told her he would sneak to Mrs. Corlell about
It, and did so, and that Mrs. Corlell concluded
to take ber. With regard to Bridget's story, at
related in tbe confession, that he brought tbe
lounge from the sitting-room, and lay on it to
watch ber while she was sick, and that Mrs.
Corlell remonstrated with him at this, and that
be became angry, and remarked to Bridget that
he wished Mrs. Corlell was dead, or out of the
way, he pronounced tbe whole story unquali
fiedly false. He said that Bridget was Indeed
treated with every kindness in ner sickness by
both himself and Mrs. Corlell, and tbat on one
occasion he engaged an old lady named Mrs.
Harris, residing in Newmarket, to sleep In the
room with her, and watch her all night.
Dr. Corlell was so much affected at times
while masilng these statements, that he could
not proceed. He seemed overcome with grief,
and declared tbat he believed he had been crazy
sometimes since the terrible occurrence of the
night ot February 23. He Is In his fortieth
year, and Is a small man, and hardly looks so
old. His neighbors Bay he looks much older
than he did six months ago. There is a settled
sadness on his face that did not rest there,
they say, before his recent trouble came upon
him. Concerning the medical testimony ad
duced on tbe part of the defense at the time of
Bridget Durgan's trial especially in regard to
tbe difference between epilepsy and catalepsy
with the object of Inducing a belief that she
was insane when she committed the murder,
he spoke In terras of strong censure. He ex
pressed a conviction tbat Bridget was In the
place of eternal torments, but that, he said,
could not make good the loss that he had sus
tained through her. If. Y. Timet.
CHIEF JUSTKE CHASE.
Reception la Nashua and Concord.
CoNCOKD, N. H., Aug. 80. Chief J ustloe Chase
left Manchester yesterday morning for Nashua,
in company with ex-Uovernor Brnyth and
wife. At Nashua he visited the New Hamp
shire General Association of Ministers, holding
its annual session there, and was Introduced to
tbe association by its Moderator, the Kev. Dr.
Day, of Hollls. After expressing his gratifica
tion at tbe honor conferred upon him, Judge
Cbase reminded tbe clergymen of the associa
tion of the duty laid upon them to Im
press every individual citizen with a sense
of his responsibility to God and man for
tbe right exercise of his suffrage. The time
was coming, he observed, when all
who were qualified to vote Intelligently would
have the privilege of voting, and it was impor
tant that that privilege should be exercised
honestly, with a pure mind, devoid of selfish
ness or partisan spirit. It was one of the high
est duties which oould devolve on a Cnrlstiao
minister toinculcate this. At tbe close of Judge
Chase's remarks, the association took a recess,
to permit its members to be introduced to the
Judge. Judge Chase arrived in this city by the
early afternoon train from Nashua, meeting at
the station here Senator Fesseuden. who nad
been spending the day in Concord, and was
about leaving for Manchester. On his arri
val here Judge Chase proceeded to the
residence of J. P. Tucker, Esq., where . bril
liant levee was held in tbe evening, attended
by nearly five hundred citizens and many
strangers now sojourning here. Among the
prominent persons present were Chief Justice
Perley, Judges Bollows, Fowler, Perkins, and
Dana, Senator Fogg, Mayor Abbott, ex-Mayor
Willard, Adjntaut-General Head, Generals
Donaboe and Patterson, the Hon. E.H. Rollins,
Mr. Brsuscomb, of Ht. Louis, the successful
competitor of Frank Blair In the last election
of members for the Missouri Legislature; ex-Lieutenant-Governor
Briggs, of Ohio, and
George M. Dewey, of the Jlamingi (Michigan!
Banner. The party was largely composed of
ladies, and a part of the evening was devoted to
dancing, the lawn around the house having been
floored for tbat purpose, and brilliantly illumi
nated by locomotive lights and Chinese lanterns.
Alter stopping a few days In this vicinity, Judge
Chase will return to Rhode Island, aud will
probably visit the fair of the New England
Agricultural Society at Providence next week.
