SETTLEMENT OF THE PRESS DIFFICULTY. it will be seen that we are again Teceiving our telegraphic dispatches from the Assoc: ated Press Agency, the Craig concern baviog given up the busin-ss of furnishing news to the papers. Craig's campaign was a short but spirited one, and his Washington agents, Mesers. Evans, Ashley, and Whitely, were indefatigable in their endeavors to make the affair a success, and to give satisfaction to the newspaper fraternity. It is due to them to make this acknowledgment in parting. We now r ‘RD to pleasant association with the experienced and courteous Associated Prees Agency bere, Mr. L. A. Gobright, and Besassistants, Messrs. Holland aad Sargent, Altogether, the press of the country is likely to be benefitted by the imbroglio, as it ha caused the infusion of more energy and promptness in the conduct of the news-farnish- ig business.

There bas seidom been such unanimity of opinion as is expressed by the ablest Repub lucaa journals on the subject of the impeach- ment of the President. It is argued that per- sistence in the effort to arraign the Chie Executive of the nation will complicate the difficulties which already distract the country. and lead to financial embarrassment and grea” distress. We have already quoted the New ‘York Tribune om the subject, and a corres- Pondent of that paper, writing from here ia reference to the speech of Mr. Loan, charging President Johuson with be: if in league with the assassinators of President Lincoln, and as guilty of all sorts of horrible crimes, says: “Few (in the House of Representatives) were Razine a attention to bim until Mr. Hale, of lew York, interrupted him, and mada tne t of order that his language was disgrace. 4 and an insult to the country, unless he could positively prove what he was saying. The overruled Hale’s point of order, and the epeech continued for thirty minutes, noone apparently paying any attention to what | be was sayin; ——— THE PATENT OFFICE. ‘The great inerease in the business of this of- fice during the last three years keeps the presa- nt force of examiners and clerks baeily em. ployed, and it is utterly impossible for them to @Zamine cases as fast as received.

On the line of the Northern Oentrat was startled early on Monday morning last by the sudden infiax of several hundred persons of the “rough” persuasion, from this city and Baltumore, who had gone thither to witness the exciting pugilistic contest between Sani Collyer, ot Baltimore, and Jehn Mc(#lade, of New Yort, tne fight being for the champion- ship of American light weights and the stakes, S2.00aside.

Some extended their explorations for miles around the village. arousing the old Dutch burghers, aad de- MAnding 2ecommodations for the night.

Both men were in fine condition, but there was a hardness and ity about the appearance of Collyer’s bh which prejudiced a majority in his favor. Collyer was trained by Aaron Jones, a noted English pugilist, at Chestnut Grove, near Bal- Umore, and McGiade by Daa Kerrigan, a. Red House, New York. Both bad been in training for two moaths, and went through the usuai course of muscular education. Daylight came, | and at ten o'clock the train from Harrisburg Po ae agp its burden of New York and Phils- delphia sports at the station, Sweiling the crowd to at least one thousand persons. Considerable delay then ensued, owing to the non-arrival of «Mac,” who had been named to seiect the Renting ground That individual finally arrived ia s sleigh from Harrisburg, and immediately proceeded up the railroad ta selecta site forthe ring, which he finaliy did at & point about one mile from the town. Men were them set to work to construct the ring, the snow, which was quite deep, was cleared away, and everything being in readiness, the crowd wended its + in the midst of asnow storm, up the railroad track, all fortified with rails and boards testand upon durmg the fight. A number of old countrymen, with their old-fashioned mule teams, atiracted to the spot by the (to them) strange proceedings, ventured to arive near the ring, when their wegons were at once taken possession of by the spectators, who desired to obtain a good view of the fight. The trees in the vicinity were also dark with human forms, all await- ing with the greatest anxiety the appearance of the principals in the fight. Pending their arrival, the crowd beguiled tne time by vari- ous callsof “police,” “here they com clear the way there for Uollye1,” and other expres. sions in common use among the genus rough. At balf-past eleven asieigh containing Co! yer and bis backer arrived, and afew min- utes after his cap came sailing into the ring, amid the cheers of nis friends.

All the preliminaries having been adjusted ard toe men stripped, Collyer advanced to Mc@iade’s corner, Offering to bet him $100 on the result of the fight. This McGiade refused, saying that be had no money. The amount was quickly raised, when Collyer Proposed to increase the bet to another $1u0, whch was accepted by the friends of McGiade, At Il 4, at the call of “Time,” both men were Promptly up to the scratch, and Kound 1st commenced.

Through the exertions of the referee, _ jet_was finally restored, and the fight resumed. From this ap to the 45'h round McGinde invariably went dowr. either by a chuck or to avoid punish- ment. McGinde exhibited at this stage severe marks of punishment, his eyes being nearly closed, bis moss broken and bloady, and his breast and shoulders severely tojured by Sam's terrific blows. 46th and Last Round McGtade was appar- ently exbausted, and came up slowly to“time ” After some f-inting Sam let go his dexter land- ing itom McGlade’s brokea nob, who retorted by atvene blow on Sam's ribs and going down to escape & Swinging messenger trom his antago- ist.
