TO "ME EDITOR OF TRP HERALD, Tnotice in the Heraup of this day an article on the prize ring in connection with the coming fight for the Englieh championship between the Benicia Boy and Tom Sayers, to which is appended a lester from Jamez Massey, Loth as Im to intrude upon your valuable space, or enter into ‘'n paper war’ with anybody, as my name is freely used both in your article and the opiatie of Mr. Meeecy, I must beg the favor of your affording me suffl- cient space to set myself right with both the Engliso and American public. | Through your columns T openly challenged Tom Sayers | to fight me, after bis battie with Heevan, no matter | { whether Je won or lost, and at any time or place he pleased, a6 long as be gave me suificient time to cross the Atlautic, and a week or tivo’s subsequent prepara- tion. That match is, | presume, made by this time, as I forwarded the necessary instructions to my friends and backers in London to make ft at once, and also the money Ke the firet deposit. So much for that. Witn regard to the challenge of Tum Paddock, I have also accepted that, and on his own terms, namely: to Cyht Dim im the same ring and on the gamo day az the cusm- pion battle between Sayers and Heenan, aud [ have every contidence that, as yousay, 1 shal! beable ‘to retrieve my Jost laurels,” With respect to the letter from the editor of Beil’: Life, which you quote, concerning the time at which Heenua ebovid Dgbt Sayers, my opinion has been previously ex- | pressed in your journal. J havo only to repeat that thi matcb {8 wot a contipnation of mine with Sayers, but an entirely new one, and tbat according to the rues of the ring, Heenan is ‘not compelled to Dght Sayers prior to “within six mopths from the date of signing articles.” iz he chooses to fight sooner, that is his optiun. Inow come tothe letter of Mr, Mussoy. On the first occasion woen I met Sayers, it is true I was, as he says, in as One condition as it was possible for a man to be, aud the best proof of it is, that I foug’t on until dark, waen ther vo declared he could not see bis wate, and tho fight was postponed for a month, though I was ready to have gone on in the dark. n the ovtasion of the postponed battle, I repeat, I was ( sutfering from severe iudisposition,” produced, as I m still irmly convinced as ure many of my friends in Engiand—by being drugged previously to the fight, but not as Mr, Massey would soom to imply, by the connivance of either of the sesonds (Alec Keene and Jack Hicks), for two more honurabie men do not exis) in the English prize ring, and I nover for a mo- ment intended, directly or indirectly, to charge them witb anything but wha: was true and straightforward, They did all for me that men could do; but there were others, luss Scrupuious, from whose machinations [ suffered. It is uot ior me to apeak of my abilities asa boxer—on which Pa Mussey castsaslur—TIleave that te ethers, Mr. Sayers sluded, Who Will have the opportunity of testing them. Ineter, to my recollection, spoke to Mr. Masey, fram the 1b of May, 1862, until within a few weeks since io | New York. He was’ Tom Sayers’ spond, and in the presence of a friend of mine, 9 Broadway tratesman, he Ireely averrod that “he waa the man wie gt mao whip- yed—not Sayere—and that they hai wp send for hia (9 second Sayres, and gavo him dfry sovereigas for the job, and that it was through bis being the socond of Soyers that I was beaten.” I can produce the gentleman who heard Mr. Massey make this staterovnt, butat present T withhold bis name, for obvious reasons: Mr. Massey knows litte or notbivg of me, as [haya always attended to my own business, and nos allowed other people to interfere with it. To put matters in @ nutsbotl, T caro not which I fight Orst—Sayers or Paddock. Jam roady and willing to fight them both. If I fight the latyr on the same day and io the same ring ag Heenau and Sayers, I will moet Sayers whether he is wianer or loser that day threo moatha; aud after that I am quite wiliiag t9 accommodate asy of my 0.0 opponents or avy new ones whe choose t) caine forward at intervals of three montha. I have been in tho ring over since I was fifteen, and was pitted against older and abler men, when I was com paratively an inexperienced boy; yet tha records of the ring wil sbw (and 1 say it without egotisin) that few mb» have fought longor and stronger battles; nor is there & map living who can say through my whole career that J was ever guilty of a wrong ach Mowever, ag I have expressed My Willingness to fight ail my battles over © Public, to whose judgment T appeal, upity of judging whet Tam,sir, AARON JON PMOLADELPA, Dee, 27, 1850, Naval Intelligence, A portion of the Marine Guard of tao’ Unis) su teamer Troque ng at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, wore trausferred on shore, and arolieving sent wom tho No definite oruc ¢ Nor tay o n Mariag barrac THE IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT.

Previous to the remarks of Robert McLean, Eaq , tho prisoner delivered his defence, He atvempted to argus the evil of slavery, and to try and convince the Court tbat he was right in preaching against it. He was twice requested by the Court to stick to the point at issue; that they were not here to listen to a digcuseion on slavery, but to hear what he had to gay in reply to the charges eld egaingt him of violaiing the laws of North Caro- na. ‘The prosecution requested the Court to let him go on. ‘The prisoner then continued his remarks at cousidera bie length: on abolition, until the Court told him that st nat Netened loug enough to that strain, aud desired him to speak a8 to the charges drought agaiust him.

[From the Norfolk Southern Argus, Dec. 28.] Among the papers of the late Jobn wn, ‘ound upon the Kennedy farm after his capture, were maps of eight of the United States, viz: of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missiesipp!, South Carolina and Ten- nese, ‘These maps were such as are to be found in Morse’s large bound atlag. They were entered according to act of Congress in the year 1842, by Sidnoy & Morso and Samuel Breese, in the Clerk's ¢ of the Southern district of New York. Each of the maps had a table of the population of every county of the State, taken from the census of 1850, pasted on itsgide.

From setters to Brown aeen hy 0s, we came to the conclusion that the localities mark- ed were those which had been visited by abolition emis- saries, and were found to contain slaves ready for insur- rection, it would be well for the magistrates residing in these localities ju Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina to keep a strict lookout upon all suspicious stravggrs, aud cauge the immediate departure of allcha- racter@™®vho cannot give a good accouatof themséyves. Pedlars, mercuntile drummers, book agents and teachers in search of gitvations, should be watched. Lat not tha lesson taught by the fanatic Brown be forgotten by the South. Let the militia be thoroughly and effectively or- ganized in every Southern Stato. Eternal vigilance is the price of our peace and happiness. + —_—_____.. Institution of a Rector.
