ESEnGr.-The longer live, the more certain
am that the great difference between men is

This quality will TO anything that can be done

Mr.. KEYS character, had made out his dis
missal, and was only waiting to select a sue
eessor, previous to sending in the document to
the Senate, when Mr.. KEY met his death.
1 visited SIcKLEs tonight in the prison
He appeared to be in good spirits, and has been
visited during the day by many of his friends
and Congressional colleagues. He positively
refuses another examination, and declares his
determination to remain in prison till the day
of trial He asks no favors from the law.
A despatch was received to-day, from New
York city, to the friends of Mr.. SICKLEs,
sympathising with him in his sorrows. Pub
lie opinion in that city Is said to sustain MIR.
SIcKLEs In his conduct.
Mr.. SIckLEs' affection for his daughter
weighs heavily. upon him. He feels that his
hopes are blasted, and that his home is bro
ken up
The Mother of Mrs. SIcKLEs, Mrs. BAG
IoLI,) and the mother of Mr.. SIcKLEs arrived
in the city tonight. Mrs. BAGfoLI will take
charge of her daughter, while the Mother of
Mr.. SIcKLEs will take under her charge his
daughter.
Public opinion is universally in favor of Mr..
SICKLEs. The counsel retained by him en-
brace the fol~lowing-named gentlemen Messrs.
STANTON, RADCLIFFE, Chiffon and Ma
GRuDER. DAVID PAUL Brown, Esq, of your
city, is not retained, as has been reported.
The remains of Mr., KEY will be taken to
Baltimore tomorrow afternoon, at three and a
half o'clock, and will be inferred from that city.
This evenings train brought many friends of
Mr.. SIcKLEs from New York.
Col. FoRNEY, the editor of the Press, and
who was intimately acquainted with all the
parties, says:
We forbear all comments upon the causes of
this melancholy tragedy, leaving the courts to
unravel the mystery. It is but just, however,
to say that the intimacy between Mr.. KEY and
Mrs. SIcKLEs had been remarked in Washing
ton circles for a year past, and had been the
occasion of more than one disagreementin the
families of the parties. During the last Con-
gress, notes passed between Mr. KEY and Mr..
SICKLEs on this subject, which were followed
by a complete reconciliation, and Mr.. KEY Wis
tied as usual at the house of Mr.. CKL
having dined with him at a large party not
more than ten days ago.
The last time the writer of this article saw
Mr.. SICKLEs and Mr.. KEY together was some
ten or twelve days ago, at the residence of the
former, the lady herself being present, with
other company. No event that has happened
in this country for many years will occasion
Nmore widespread excitement. The youth of
the parties, the beauty and popularity of Mrs.
SIcKLEs, the numerous connections, political
and personal, of the principal actors, and the
fearful lesson which the whole circumstances
of this case must give to society, will form the.
subject of comment for years to come. Mr..
SIcKLEs is proverbially cool and collected, not
apt to be moved by sudden passion, and is of
a generous and confding nature, devotedly at
tached to his friends and ready to serve them
at any sacrifice.

rhe A.hIand POST OFFICE.

Ar. Editor: 1 would like to make the inqui-
~ whether the Department furnishes the Post
Master here with his Office rent; and if SO,
whether upon proper representation being
naade,a more capacious mud-hole, within the
iinits-efthe eerperation,g could not be found z
A corps of skillful engineers might possibly find
a location more Inaccessible on account of the
mud and defective walks, but the undersigned
has doubts upon the subject. MuD.
paW9We can inform Mr.. "Mud" that the
Post Master here pays his own Office rent, and
that the Office would probably have been re-
moved, two or three years since, to a more ac-
cessible room, and to one of greater security,
If such a place could have been rented. If
our correspondent would cast about, and make
an effort to secure a proper room, at a rent that
would justify the Post Master in paying, he
would discover that it is a much easier matter
to make complaints than it is to make the prop
er change.
Congress having adjourned without making
an appropriation for the erection of Post Office
Buildings at Ashland, it has been determined
TO remove, temporarily, at least, the Office to
the room over the store of T. C. BUSHNELL
Go. ~
This room is larger than the present one,
more accessible and more safe. The only OBJ
lection to it is, that it is necessary to ascend a
fightof. stairs in order to reachit. New stairs,
however, have been constructed, which are
easy of ascent, and the stairway will be covered
and lighted by gas during the evenings.
The Office will be continued in the new room
until a proper basement room can be procured.
The work upon the Rail Road will probably be
resumed during the present season, and it iso
high importance that the Office should be in a
place secure against attacks by burglars and
thieves.
