we do not mean that it is specific in all cases,

MIR. and Mrs. SickleS.

The Hon. Daniel E. Sickles has sent
letters to his most intimate friends, in
forming them that he has resumed his
marital relations with his wife. The
letters were written in consequence
of the discovery that months ago he
resumed the relations in the most in
innate form. The story is thus:
Mrs. Sickles, during and since the
trial, has resided at her outraged hus-
bands country house, situated on Pri-
vate Avenue, leading from Blooming
dale road, between eighty-fifth and
ninetieth streets, and overlooking the
river. Thomas G. Fields, the Public
Administrator of the city, and init
mate friend of Mr.. Sicklcs, took a
house about June LIST, which is three
quarters of q mile or so above Mr.
Sickles' villa, and on a private avenue
leading from the Bloomingdale road.
Mr.. Field had not been long in his
new quarters before his friend Daniel
requested the privilege of occupying
a room, which request was granted.
1t was, however, soon observed that
Mr. S. was in the habit of leaving the
house where he lodged, late at night,
and returning early in the morning
How often he did this it is impossible
to say. But at length suspicion was
aroused and fixed in the right dircc
ton. A few mornings ago Mr.. Fields
happened to be with Mr.. Emanuel b
Hart, fast and fearful friend of the
homicide during the trial, and whom
should they meet but Mr.. Sickles OF
his return from his morning walk
They asked him where he had been
as friends do. He fired up and gave
an answer importing that it was none
of their business. But" said Mr.
| Fields, 1T is my business, if you have
been having clandcstine intercours,
with dishonored wife and living il
my house the while, because it suit
your marital convenience" The up
shot of the matter was, Mr.. Sicklcs in
formed his friends that that was to b.
done openly henceforth which ha'
hitherto been done clandestinely. i
is well understood that Mr.. Sickle
could never have made out cas-
justifying divorce, on the ground o
his wife's adultery. But this new
will surprise some persons.

GREAT FLooD IN MINNEsoTA-We
learn from the Hokah Chief that the
late rains north and west of US, have
produced the highest water in Root
River ever known. At the present
writing it stands two feet higher than
the great flood Of 1854. The entire
railroad line along the valley is sub
merged, and fears are entertained that
serious loss must follow. Families
living upon the bottoms have been
driven to the mountains for safety.
Property is everywhere afoat. At
the highest point, the water stood up
on the floor Of the machine shop of the
Western Works." two feet four inch
cs, and such a fraternal feeling among
bedsteads, chairs, hubs, spokes, rakes,
&c, &c, was never before seen.
The two bridges over Thompson's
creek, leading to the steamboat land
ing, are swept away, and loose prop
erty about the Mills and Works is
scattered in every direction, much of
which, however, will be saved. No
lives lost.
The railroad bridge at the third
crossing on Root River, eight miles
above Hokah was six inches under
water and the river still rising. Sc
rious fears are entertained for its safe
ty. AT Houston, the water is report
ed two feet deep upon the lower floors
of Lynch's Hotel, and that families
are ferrying their effects to the bluffs
for safety. We expect to hear of great
loss at Chatfield, Preston, and other
lows on the head waters of Root
River.

want girl, and others, were put on the stand by
the defence. Most of them were cross-exam-

During the examination of one Of the wit
nesses, the proceedings were stopped by re-
quest of Mr. Stanton, to allow of the retiring
of Mr.. Sickles, whose feelings gave vent in
tears and anguished sobs, brought on by the
nature of the evidence. Considerable sympa-
thy was exhibited by the audience for the pris-
oner, who soon after returned to the dock, and
the proceedings were resumed. A long argu-
ment for and against the adnissibility of Mrs.
Sckles's confession as evidence in the case,
was had. The prosecution opposing its ad-
mission, and as stongly urged in favor by the
defence The debate gave rise to a display
of legal acumen, and no little eloquence, es-
