MESsRS. SICKLES AND PEABODY.

Having published tie card of George Peabody, esq Of
London, in reply to letter written from that city to the
Boston Post and transferred TO these columns which letter
proves have been written by Mr. Sckes, the American
secretary of legation at London spread before
readers the final correspondence between these two gentle
upon the facts in dispute 1t will be recolected that
the occasion of the letter in the Boston Post the cee
braton ofthe 4tb of July at Richmond London, on
the last anniversary of that day by party of gentlemen
invited by Mr.. Peabody, among others the American min
lister aud the other members Of the American legation
When published that letter spoke of some of the
proceedings at that celebration in terms of proper repre-
henson deriving impressions not only from the letter
in the Boston Post but from other reliable Mr..
Peabodys reonde to these several statements and espec
ally his reply to the letter in the Post copied in the
Union without comment because preferred waiting for
ample disclosure of the whole truth both sides
This we believe be furnished in the correspondence
printed in this mornings Union All the material allega-
tons in the letter the Boston Post well all
own information the subject have been, in opinion
by this correspondence. The facts that APP
pear to be beyond dsputeapar from the personal
Issue between Mr. Sickles and Mr. Peabody--are fol-
lows,
That the last At-ofyuly dinner London a
private affair composed of the friends and acquaintance
of Mr. Peabody but was intended national celebration
This fact greatly wcakens Mr. Pcabodys attempt hold
his guests responsible for Directing to his programme
H. That the order of arrangement changed by Mr.
Peabody after the American legation and himself bad
agreed to it,
H. That at an American celebration of the 4th of July
in London composed mainly of Americans full of the
thusasm which that day always inspires the Chief Ma
gstrate of the United States toasted after the English
sovereign and the national song Of America muated
are led suppose please few English gentlemen
at the table
w. That after Mr. Peabody had consulted others to
his programme and had induced the Americans abandon
other celebrations of the day, he could not complain if
censure followed his effort make the affair entirely his
own, and to enforce and different order of things
at the table.
IN regard to Mr. Sickles justice to him requires frank
ly to say especially after the which has
sssaed by portion of the whg press that he has borne
himself with much dignity and tao, throughout this whole
business and that he successfully repes the accusations of
his adversary

CORRESPONDENCE.
UNITED STATES LEGATION,


London, October 90 1854.
In giving publicity the following correspondence with
Mr. Peabody unnecessary add thing to the very
full exposition of facts which he has not yentured to
deny attempted to dsproye-contaned in my letters to
him of the 4th and 18th instant except to notice in the
brefest the two positions assumed by him in his
last note.
He repeats the assertion that addressed anony-
letter to the editor of the Boston Post Mr. Pea
body knows this statement is not true.
The effort represent the vaunted national entertain
men given the 4h of July last to the Americans in
London, private dinner, is subterfugean after
thought resored to for the purpose of escaping from
the responsibility rashly avowed by Mr. Peabody in
his public letter to the "Boston POST 1t that
Election has reversed his maxim; he is of
swords" but deeds After ALL ridiculous to
expect anything else
1t will be amusing most Englishmen to learn that a
London merchant sent to the Queen to borrow portraits Of
herself and Prince Albert for private dinner party given
at tavern,
The Americans who were asked to attend certainly
thought they were join in a national festival 1t turns
out however that they invited to help Mr. Peabody
celebrate the successful result OF his perseyerng efforts to
get couple of pictures from a palace.
If his dinner mere business advertisement, la
Barn of he had right conduct the proceed
ngs according to his taste In this point Of view,
Mr.. Peabodys recent claim to be considered
linstitutionn is likely 20 he questioned.
In dismssing this subject there at least one satsiac-
ton of which be deprived and that is the conVc-
ton that it will be long very long, before the Americans
in London can be induced take part in another attempt
Banner could not be sung without revision where the
Declaration of Independence could not be read ana where
the name OF Jefferson would not be mentioned.

The year l717 is memorable in the histo-
ny OF New England, on account of the unu-
sual quantity of snow which fell February
10Th and oath of that year. In those two
storms the earth was covered with snow from
ten to fifteen feet and in some places twenty
feet deep. Many houses Of one story were
buried, and in numerous cases, paths were
dug from house to house under the snow drifts.
The visits were made by means of snow shoes,
the wearers having first stepped out of their
chamber windows. One gentleman, wishing
to visit his SHADY love- walked three miles
with snow shoes, and entered her residence
as he had left his own, namely by the cham

the sickly sentimentaIty engcndered by the

gress Of the anti slavery crusade We take
the following passage from his speech:
81 will not say that the honorable senator
from Massachusetts, mir. Sumuerl has adop-
ted the Asiatic in preference to the Attic
style, because ! would not do him injustice
upon any occasion; but will say what is the
truth, that this pseudo philanthropy which is
now. to sono extent, prevailing the public
mind Of the North, was unknown to the hardy
morality of our forefatEers They were prac-
teal statesmen that could deal With all the
elements ola different society with justice, and
not rhetorical bialectica ions who would make
such elements themes for their mere eloquence
and professions of philanthropy such as
would free the slave, and afterwards subject
him to starvation--a philanthropy that is
heated into flame more to hate the white race
than to preserve the black-a philanthropy
Of adoption more than Affection one that pro-
fesses much and does nothing, with long ad,

choose. 10 letter recently published she
argues the question, and lays down the laws
of good taste 10 regard 70 the cut and color

says: hold that women shauld wear this
costume whenever and wherever they choose
TO do so, either in town or country, in doors

If the male part of creation should find any
trouble in determining our sex, let them quit
shaving their faces, and then the difficulty
will be obyisted.
