The Democratic convention to nominate a candidate for Congress in the 2d Ohio district to fill the wacancy occasioned by resignation of General Hayes, met at Cummunsyille yes. terday. The resolution of the Ohio State Gon. vention and the Kentucky resolntions of 1793 were adopted as the platform. The delegates being about equally divided between Genera Ammon, late an officer in the army, aad Dr. Ferguson, an anti-war civilian, got into a squabble, and the convention’ broke up in a Tow without nominating. Commissioner Rollins, chief of the Interna Revenue Department, was present at the se- eret meeting of the New York Metropolitan Bosrd on Monday, and great excitement pre- vailed among the inspectors in consequence, as it was generally supposed, that his presence ‘was for the purpose of ordering a wholesale decapitation among them. Nothing of the sort is known, however, to have been the re. sult yet. A new Fenian Congress, under the auspices of the Stephens and O’Mahony branch of the organization, commenced its session at No. 14 Broadway, New York, Wednesday, Mr.O’Uon- nor, of Boston, in the chair, and about two hundred delegates trom the different circles in attendance.

Sheridan's special order No. 122 annuls certain contracts awarded by the late Coun- cils, and declares the same null and void, and the city of New Orleans released from any ob- Jigations resulting therefrom. Gen. Sheridan bas not complied with the request of the Uity Councils to remove certain officials declared by the Councils ineligible under the reconstrac- tion act. The strike on the Mobile and Ohio railroad has assumed formidable proportions. Theem- ployees. many of whom have not been paid for eighteen months, assembled at Jackson and stopped ali the trains. A company of military has been ordered to that point, and the agents of the road fear that Gov. Brownlow will take Possession ef all that portion of the road in ennessee. The leading gamblers of New York held a private meeting Wednesday, for the purpose of taking measures to protect themselves against the encroachments of the anti-gambling society. It was finally acreed, after some pre- Uminary discussion, to tax each establishment one hundred dollars to raise a turd for the employment of lawyers and other purposes. Several shop-keepers doing business near the corner of Broadway and Fulton streets, New York, have just made an alliance for the parpose of initiating legal proceedings againat the Loew or Fulion street bridge, on the ground that it is unwieldy, impracticable for the purpose intended, and, on the whole, is a first-class nuisance. Accounts from southern and central Ala- bama state that the army worm has made {is appearance on a number of cotton farms, but, so far, bas done little or no damage. Ifthe ‘weather continues dry and hot, as it has been for five or six weeks, not mach damage is locked for from them. ‘The political contest in California is very bitter and exciting asthe election araws near: Efforts are making to concentrate the Union vote of San Francisco ou one Legislative ticket.

The New York Express of yesterday after- noon saye :—At daylight thie Morning another ize fignt came off; the principals belne the Fourth ‘Ward pougilists Jim Kelly and Mike Allen. Both the men.met two monins ago and fought over one hour. Kelly at that time win- ning the fight. Allen, not satisfied with the result, sent forth another challenge, which ‘was immediately accepted, the arrangements made, and this morning sgreed upon for their meeting. Both men are about thirty years of e. Kelly rather the heaviest. SThe Fourth Ward sports Were all up and “doing” Wednesday evening. eager to witness the affair, and the betting was largely on Kelly, still Allen had many friends wh» were conii- dent that ne would get the better of his oppo- nent this time. The location selected was @ little east of Bath, L. I, in a very romantic spor. The principals with theif seconds, left the early in the day, and quartered themselves at & well-known sporting house on the Coney Island road. Abvut 11 o’clock at night the friends and knowing ones met at Jerry Smith’s saloon in Brooklyn, where, at 12 o’clock, five large stages were in readiness to convey them tothe fighting grounds. They reached the headquarters of the principais about 2 o'clock, and at daylicht proceeded to the spot selected, the ring Daving ready pitched, Bill Kehoe acted as referee, and at a little past feur both men jumped into the ring with their seconds, fully equipped for the encounter. A heavy rain storm haying set in, the whole party were completely drenched, especially during the fight. In fact, as soon as time was called, it came down “almost in buckets full,” and many bad to retreat tea shed to shelter themselves, THE VIGHT. 1st Round—Kelly, on toeing the mark, threw himself into fighting attitude, went right to work, sending in the first blow on Allen’s ribs, and followed it up with one om the nose; he got in return a slight tap in the month. 2d Reund—Kelly got in again heavily on Al- len’s ribs and head, receiving @ light rap over the cheek. 3d Round—Allen led off and pntin a well armed blow on Kelly’s jaw, but was severely punished by Kelly about the body. 4th Round—Both forced the fighting, Kelly seemed anxious to do“his work up as soon as Possible; he sent in several rib-roasters and one or two on Allen’s face; hegot a mauler over bis left peeper. 5th Round—Allen played very carefal and sent out his right, when the ground being wet he slipped ard fel 6th Round—Allen agnin let fly his right bunch of fives, which was prettily stopped by Kelly, The latter then sent home a teller on Allen's smeller which drew the raby, and ch was duly accorded him. b Round—In this round both seemed a litle timid, and after a few light exchanges Kelly went dow: ‘ih Round—Keilly got im well on Allen’s frontispiece, doing good execution; they then closed and fell together. 9th Round—During this ronnd the rain came down in torrents, bat both men stood up to their work. Kelly sent in a righthander over Allen‘s left eye, and another in the ribs. 1yth Round—Allen did very well this time, punishing Kelly about the face and closing his left peeper. 1th Round—Sharp work on both sides, and Allen thrown. 12th Round —Keily caught Allen in chan- cery and warmed bis man terribly around the bead, when Allen finally succeeded in ex- tracting himself by throwing Kelly. 13th Ronnd.—Littie sparring ‘and Allen slipped and fell. 1ith Round.—Allen got onein the moutnand over the left eye again, while Kelly received several about the body. stb Reund.—Keily again got Allen under bis left arm and punished him terribly about the head, Allen trying to get down, but all to no purpose, a8 Kelly held him up until they finally fell together. 16th Round.—Allen was very slow coming up, and showed that he had received pretty hard treatment. He walked up to Kelly and sent ina right hander. put Kelly caught him over the Jeft ribs and sent him to grass. 17th Round—This was a terribly fought bat. tle, both men doing good execution in the start, but finally Keily got his man foul aga:n. and he let po time pass idle, for he again pun- ished poor Allen about the herd that he finally bad to let bim drop, being unable to hold him up ay longer. At thecall of time Allen could not be in- duced to toe the mark, and bis secoud was compelled to throw up the sponge. was thereupon declared the winner. party then returned to the hotel, and finally arrived in the city at a little past & o'clock. The fight lasted just 35 minute Fourth Day of the Baltimore Schuetzen- fest. The Sun says: The rain sadly interfered with the festivities at the Schuetzen park, and ‘was of course @ serious drawback on the ex- chequer of the association. There was a slim attendance of visitors, but those who did ven- ture out appeared to bear the rain patiently, and took in all the fun as it came along. The shocting for prizes under the shelter of the shooting house, went on at invervals, and the ten-pin alleys were thronged with eager con- testants for the prizes tobe awarded for the best bowling. All ont-door sports were neces- sarily dispensed with, but the inflation of the Flying Cloud” was continu about six p. m. there was sufficient g have ascended, but about thattime the rain came down in torrente. and Protessor Light was advised to defer his rial flight until this afternoon, but murmurs arising among the crowd, who had gone out in the rain expressly to witness the ascension, he concluded to try an ascension. It was found that the balloon would not carry upthe basket in which the seronant stands when the Professor divested himself of hi+ coat,and cutting the basket loose, at abouté o'clock, he jumped across a rope sus- pended below the balloon, when it grafually Tose, and taking a northeastwardiy direction, in consequence of night coming cn it was soon lostto view. 1tis supposed, however, that the daring wronaut desce: cauld conveniently do.

Either business or inclement weather, or botb, prevented President Johnson from leay- ing Wasbington yesterday, but should the ther prove clear to-day, it is confidently expected that he will be in attendance.

Tne following are the several rounds: ist Ronod—Both men securing their grip, they watched one another very close, when finally Stonehall threw out bis left pin, which was quickly canght by Jerry, but the former gotclear. They began to feel of each other, Stonehali workmg around his man, when suddenly Jerry got a lock on his right leg and almost succeeded in throwing Stonenall, bat the latter, with the activity of a cat, made a spring and recovered himself, Qoneiderable mManwuvering then ensued, when Jerry got in 4 back cut into bis left leg, and sent Stonehall te mother earth ina jiffy. The resalt of this round raised Jerry’s stock, and the betting be- came even. 2d Round—Stonehall now played very care. ful. and watched his man very . Neta muscle conid be moved but what Stonehall caught. They worked one another about for some time, when Stonehall made a blundering dash at Jerry, and the latter taking advantage of Jhe same, putin a side cnt, and again laid out his man amid the cheers of Jerry’s ad- mirers. 24 Round—As they both took hold two to one was offered on Jerry, but only one or two taken. It was evident that Stenehall must show his hand in this round or lose the game. As soon as he seized his grip he tried to force bis man to the leadoff, but all to no purpose, as Jerry could not afford to be played with. Stonehall then made a lunge with his right leg butfell shirt. Jerry drove the like with the same result. Finally Stonehall bs Jerry's left who at the same time lost his bal ance, when Stonehall bore him down upon hi back, laying him quietly at fulllength. This round was the signal for applause by Stone- hall’s friend: 4th round.—Jerry came up somewhat ex- cited, and was admonished to keep cool; they soon got into position, when they both struck out, and Jerry getting the inside lock wrew his man beavily upon the turf. winning the purse. Stonehall immediately jumped to nis feet, and proposed three cheers for Jerry, which were given with a will, after which the crowd partook of a sumptuous collation. It is understood that they will have another match next week.—N. ¥. Express. Suicide Prevented—An Interesting Case, ‘The Nortolk Virginian states that an interest- ing case. illustrating the antido.al powers of belladonna in pois oning by opium, occurred in that city on Sunday night, inthe person of a young married woman, about twenty-two years of age, who had taken within a small fraction of an ounce of l2udauum, with suicidal intent. ‘The Virginian gives the following particulars of the case: The time that had elapsed after taking the poison could not be ascertained, but it was sufficient tor the patient to hive passed beyond the first tran ofsymptoms. The dark suffa- sion of the countenance had given place to ex- treme parlor, the hot, finshed skin had become cola and clammy. the labored breathing had become slower and interrupted, and the pulse thread like and indistinct. Under these cir- cumstances, Dr. Jackson, the physician in at- tendance, feeling unwilling to wait for the slow action of an emetic, and doubtfal whether one could have been administered in such extreme stupor, determined to test the power claimed for belladonna as an antidote to opium. and ac- cordingly administered sub-cutaneously, its active principle, atrophine. Some effect was almost immediately preceptible—in five min- utes the sensibility of the stomach began to return, and a distreesing retching occurred—in ten minutes the pulse was found to be more distinct—in fifteen minutes the face was found to be recovering its color, and soon became flushed, Ina few minutes more she opened her eyes, the pupils ot which had been yery much dilated, and looked anxiously around the room. Conecionusness must have somewhat returned by this time, for she now remembers that cir- cumstance. An emetic was not until now ad ministered, after the effects of which she sank into a natural sleep, from which she woke on Monday morning. quite conscious, and only feeling “a little weak.” This isa valuable case, a8 affording addition- al evidence of the claimed virtues of this re- medinl agent. As probably no poison 1s so fre- quently resorted to by the suicide as opium. and as there ie no article of the materia medica so frequently sdministered by mistake. a relia- ble antidcte hes always been a deeideratam, and the accumuiaung evidences of the power of the agent used on this occasion (belladonna) render it mere than probable that it has at last been discovered.
