il 1 r dial O W giva below the testimony of J. B. Haakini xiamber of Congrats, for lb defence, !n the trial of Daniel L Sickles at Washington : Jobn H. Ilaskin, M. C, recalled. 1 re member a visit which I made to tbe bouse of Mr. Sickles j ibis was io April, 18."8; Mr. Kickles had left this city the previous day for New York or Albany; 1 called at tho re quest of Mr. Sickles to see if bis wifu wanted anything. Q. Relate tbe circumstance. Witness. A few days alter Mr. Key bad called at my house to converse with mo in regard to the correspondence, Mr. Sickles whs called to New York on business; belore going he came to my seat io tbe House, and desired ma, as having beeu familiar ft ill) himself and wifo, to drop up occasionally to see bis wifo, and ascertain it' elio wanted any j tiling ; tbe duy following 1 had occasion In I iro with my children and wife to Uourgetown j to get some shoes, and when we got opposilu j the I'resulenls bouso, Mr. rjickles' requubi occurred to uio-j I drove up to his door, helped my wife out iu a hurry, rushed up stairs, opened the front door and tbe door of the little library without knocking; on enter ing the little library I found Mrs. Sickles end Mr. Key seated at a round table, with a largo bowl of salad on it; she was mixing it ; there was a bottle of champagua und glasses on the table; laughter, which was suppressed by tbe officers ; 1 excused myself for my abrupt entrance ; Mrs. Sickles got up Hushed, nnd invited us to take a gluss of wine with her ; after sitting there for a mo ment, 1 hastened away with my wife ; on entering tbe carriogo, or immediately after entering it, my wife said (an attempt to inter rupt the wituess being ineffectual) "that Mrs. Sickles is a bad woman." Q. Did yon have any conversation with Mr. Key at that time in that room 1 A. Very little. I think Mrs. Sickles on that occasion introduced ir.y Rile to Mr. Key. Q. Did your lady ever visit there after wards ? A. No sir. IJ. Did you see Mr. Key and Mrs. Sickles ct any time after that ? A. Yes. Ij. Where? A. Shortly after that, in riding through tbe cemetery near Mr. Corcorau's country residence, 1 met Mr. Key aud Mrs. Sickles in the cemetery ; saw them nt tbo theatre once or twice; and once or twice on the avenue. C. You have alluded to this correspond ence and its termination. Did you speak to Mr. Key about it ? A. Mr. Key came and tulked to me about it. Mr. Carlisle. That does not strike us as material Mr. Urndy wanted to show bow Mr. Koy expressed. himself towards Mrs. Sickles, but he would not insist on the question. To Mr. Ould. This salad and champagne interview was between 4 and C o'clock in tbe afternoon. Mr. Brady. I propose to ask bow, after this correspondence between Mr. Sickles and himself, Key described Mra. Sickles bow childlike she was and how innocent, and what paternal relations he occupied towardg her ; that she was a mere child, and that be looked oa her as a father. Is there any ob jection to that ? Mr. Carlisle. Certainly. I hud not tbe slightest objection that Mr. LI ask In should pronounce bis judgment of a virtuous ma tron, or the conduct of this woman in April, 1858, though not strictly in evidence, bat 1 do not see what Mr. Key's description of Mrs. Sickles has to do with this case. Mr. Brady. It is a difficult defence to conceive what lino of remark or argument tbe prosecution may pursue as to the rela tions between these parties. We know that when the relations of a man and woman are called in question suggestions are frequently made about tbe buebaud being too confiding. too indulgent, too kind, and that is some times turned into a pretext in extenuation ol the act of tbe adulterer. I desire to show that Mr. Key bad communicated to Mr. llaskio, aud intended Mr. Ilaskin to impress on tbe mind of Mr. Sickles, that Mr. Key claimed to regard Mrs. Sickles as a young person who stood toward him in the relation of a child, and that he was almost in tbe situation denominated in law in loco parentis ; and that, to prevent any possible suspicions on the part of Mr. Sickles that bo could have towards that girl anything but honorable in teutions, he made this declaration to which I refer, and which was communicated to Mr. Sickles. 'J'he Judge- It does not appear to me that anything Mr. Key said on tbe subject of his relation with Mrs. Sickles can be evidence in this trial Mr. lirady. Well. I have made tbe offer. It is understood, and 1 do not propose to argue it. Mr. Graham. The court will note our ex ception to its exclusion. Mr. Curlitlu to the witness. You are not mistaken about the point of time? It is as long ago as April of last year that you found Mrs- Sickles entertaining Mr. Key iu ber own bouse, in tbe absence of her husband? The wituess. No, sir, I am not mistaken bbout tbe lime. Mr. Brady. Did yon communicate to Mr. Sickles this fact which you have related on tbe stand ? Witness. Never, sir. To Mr. Carlisle. She was mixing the eutad for him ; there was a large bowl con tainiug salad with a lurge wooden thing to mix it; she was using the wooden thing; laughter. J Q. A nything particular about that ? A. Nothing particular. L- And the champagne was ordinary ? A. Yes, ordinary champagne. Mr. Ould. ilow much of it bad disap peared ? A. 1 think about baif bad disappeared. Here the court adjourned. Mi-sic in ocr 'IIomks. The Baltimore American says with truth, that whatever adds to the attractiveness of home has a value which may not be measured by ordinary stan dards. Our homes furnish objects for all our aims aud purposes, aud they linger lougesl iu our memories if we lose tbein. And tbe as sociations that cluster arouud household me ia ories are not only a defence against tbe as saults we suffar in tbe world without, but also an antidote too much or tbe evil we encouo ter aud a solace for many a sorrow. There is so much that is unreul aud courentioual, vvorywhere except at the family beartb, that it is only there that our maiks are laid aside, and we appear iu our true character. Ifsel iishness cuuld be bauished from our houses and if each member of every family could be luduced to do all iu bis or her power to miu ister to the general enjoyment, then our bou ses would bo the bappie,t plucei below the heaven . 1 1 would seem that the experiment might easily be tried, but iclhsbuesi ii very nearly a univoral disease, nnd men are usu. a'ly less amiable at borne than any bur el.a.

The counsel for the defence bad insinuated that the public prose cutor was actnated by a thirst for blood, and that he buuted down the prisoner to ven geonce. Mr. Stanton disclaimed mat ing sucb a charge. Mr. Ould said hr conld let his arguments and conduct iu this case go before tbe Court and before the world in contrast with the dis reputable rant wbich this counsel (pointir.g to Mr. Stanton) bad exhibited. There was no place where gentlemauly feelings could be better shown than in a forensic contest of this nature, and so there was no place where vul garity and rudeness could be better exhibited.

Sensation in the Court. No one bad a greater dislike to personal anti pulhies and personal controversies than him self. No one an intenser scorn of tbe person who gets them up, or of the method in which they are got up. He stood here under the solemn responsibilities of his oath, and had endeavored to do his duty faithfully os a pub lic prosecutor. He had not now Bnd never bad a prejudice or ill feeling against the prisoner at the bar. If however, he believed that the prisoner ut the bar bad imbued his hands in a fellow creature's blood, be would not be restrained from declaring it.' He did not call murder gentleness, or malice good feelings. Ho had only rises now for the pur pose of relieving himself from an ospersion which had been wantonly, and, he believed, vindictively mailu against them. Ihe exi gencies of this case, perhaps, bad demanded that before this be should have vindicated himself from the aspersions made against him in the course of this case. He was glad to hove the opportunity of doing so now. Mr. Stanton, who was seated beside Mr. Ould during the latter's returns.?, rose, ear nestly saying 1 know my duty to my client, to the cause, to so draw u oside by any such personal considerations. 1 am not to be drawn from the principle of law by any such resort of the counsel lor the prosecution. I will leave his course and place to be judged of by tbe whole world. If bis course is justi lied by his being public prosecutor, be it so. I ray the law he presents here is not adapted to the state of society. 1 said the law, cr rather the principle on which be claims it, would lead my client to tho gallows by those who aro malignantly seeking for his blood. 1 have not the honor of his acquaintance, and after his language just uttered, do rot desire it. I Ins sentence was welcomed by the stomping of many feet by the auditors with out the bar. The uoise was interrupted by cries or "order"' from the U. S. Marshal and the officers. Order was soon restored. Mr. Stanton, resuming, repeated that such a law os that insisted on would rouduct bis client to the foot of the gallows, und that there were private prosecutors here.

Upwards or twenty min utes were consumed in taking the division, and as tbe moment for announcing tbo ro sult approached, tbe excitement rose to tbo highest pitch. The great bulk of the mem bers, as usual, on returning from their divi siou lobbies, resumed their places on either side of the chumber, but a large number of tbein had assembled in a dense crowd at tbe bar. At length the tellers made their ap pearance, aud tbeu there were cries of 'Or der, order I and 'Bar, bar I' As the tellerB took their places, it was seen iu au instant on which side tbe the majority lay, and as they advanced to the table a vociferous cheer in anticipation of Jjie actual result, rose from tbe Opposition side.

The time is coming when the parent who consents to have his daughters continue hand sewing, will bo regarded as wanting io affection for them. rARRFIi. IIEHUINO & CO'S PATENT CHAMPION SAFE.

Extract from a communication from Dr. North, of Saratoga Springs, lo the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, dated June the 6th, 1851 : "The New Empire Spring is working charm ingly for Scrofula. Do the profession know that there are twelve grains of Hydrioilate of 6'oda, or Iodine, in a gallon uf water - double Riiv othr Spring! .There being only a trace of Iron in the water, I send my consumptive patients to that Spring imhe-iiatingly, hitherto with most satisfactory results." Empire Spring, hj R. .. Allen, M. D , it Resident Pttysiciun, Saratoga Springs. This fountain bas more than answered the expectations of its friendn; as a beverage, our inhabitants who have drank it daily far several years past, cannot be induced to make a substi tute of any other spring. As a cathartic and alterative, my pant experi ence compels me to say, thut in my opinion it has tio superior here or clreivhcre. Its exemp tion from clay, and the small relative (juantitics of iron which enter its compoMtion, render it one of the best if nut the very beat mineral water lr commercial purposes; while its ability to with stand Ihe trying iii!luenrrof warm climates ami sea voyages, inake it a very desirable water lor bottling purposes. These properties, together with tho genlle manly care of its present proprietors, have given it a circulation and use abroad which has herel fore been unj recedentcd iu the his ory of cele brated mineral v alert'.
