They report at Apalachicola a force of three thousand men, with three thousand mort to arrive shortly after they left, so that we may calcu late upon there being six thousand men at that point now. They speak in no flattering terms of the character of these troops, but say they are raw backwoodsmen, who, although they would fight to the death in their own way, refuse to drill or be drilled; their officers have no control over them whatever, and they are suffered to do Artiaga; had a crew of five when captured by the rebels, out of Key West.

This brought on a rally, in which King had the best, whea they closed, King getting heavily on the side of Mace’s nose, and then threw him at the ropes. ROUND TWELVE. Mace’s left eye was nearly closed, and his mouth and nose much swollen and bleeding. King had also his noso damngod, and his right eye nearly shut. Some little sparring was finished by King fighting Mace boldly to the ropes, where Jem hung for some time, and some heavy thumping ensued, until Mace roached the ground. Time, twenty-seven minutes. ROUND THIRTEEN. Mace came up blowing, King bleeding from the nose. Some little sparring for wind, until King went resolutely inand succeeded in getting the left on the mouth, and repeated the same left band dose on the cheek, which brought on a close, in which some good hall-arm blows were delivered, until they fought tothe ropes, when ‘Mace got down. aristocracy. Jem Mace, who is by far the better known of the two combatants, having fought many battles,and won the champion’s belt, is two inches un six, feet, and on rday morning weighed eleven stone Six pounds. The fighting weight of his antagonist was twelve stone soven pounds,and his superiority in height was evea more apparent, he being two inches over, instead of ‘und feet, and therefore no less than four inches ‘than Mace, The name of this powerful giant is ig. He has been a sailor, and subsequently a gauger at the docks, and this was his third fight. Though bet- ting was two to one on Mace,everybody seemed to expect @ battle of come duration and severity; and the issue quite justified the prevalent belief that king would give his more experienced foe considerable trouble. The locality was reached before half the London world was up and stirring, but some time was occupied in pitching the ring, and in other preliminaries, such as tho stripping of the men and the toss for places. This last proceeding was little more then a formal ceremony, a3 there was no sunshine to avoid, and no rise in the ground, which was as fine @ piece of turf as could be desired. ‘Those who have explored Surrey as they should do—on fe ‘know that Godstone owes in some measure its pieturesqueness to the sandstone quarries with which it abounds; but the view for miles around is a most de- light(ul one, even under the dismal aspect of yesterday's weather, many of those who had travelled thirty miles to witness a sight which would have better graced a low skittle ground—supposing any such to exist beyond the ken of the constabu -—found time to notice the natural Deauties by which they were surrounded. It was seven minutes past mine when the men shook hands and got to work. King, who shqwed a determination to gain the victory, if by any chance it were possible for him to do so, suc- eaeded in drawing first blood, and also in obtaining the first knock down blow. His display of prowess and of an unleoked-for amount ef pugilistic skill, had the effect of reversing the order of the betting, and the same odds wich been laid against him were now offered in his ‘avor. the fortunes of the combat varied somowhat as round succeeded round, King was generally thought to have the best of it, The punishment inflicted on either side waa very severe, and so nearly equal that the ablest judges were puzzled to decide which man had suffered most. gIn this way, much to the satisfaction of all true lovers of ‘<a good fight’"—which means, of course, a par- ticularly and sanguinary one—the struggle was maintained, with immense bravery and endurance on both sides, for upwards of an hour. Even to the last .a slight advantage seemed to have becn kept by the man King. But he was not destined, on this occasion at least, to achieve such honor as crowns the es fo champion. In the forty-second round, after a ba: ght of an hour and eight minutes, the men clozed fell.

Maco was only venturing upon what is quite a new theory of pugilism, and in the boasted pint days of the ring, the mere fact of his making @ match with so big a man would have struck the whole pugilistic world with astouishment. After King’s battle with Broome proficient critics must have seen thag Jem would have been fighting at great edds against Lim, had he not shown such form in his lute encounters that he was considered almost inviacible. King, as explained in the narrative above, certaiul: possessed every physical advantage. His length of roach being enormous, and his superior size and strength naturally gave him, during some portions of the fight, such apparent advantages that it was thought he could scarcely lose, Strangely enough both have beon under the suspicion of having a white feather, and poople who have ever entertained the idea must be astonished aud gratified at the extraordinary game manner in which the battle was fought from end to end. ‘The champion, how- ever, was not seen to the greatest advantage, King’s rushes anc superior strength and reach evabiing him te boro Jem down, with a deceptive a;pearance of punish- ment at times, though it became clear after the first two or three rounds that it was no gift. Mace had few opyortunities of displaying his defence, in consequence of the young ono’s charges, togaihor with Jem having hurt his right shoulder in the sixth round; but his superiority in wrestling was cleariy manifested iu nore inatances than one, the more especially im theanas- terly manner in which he gave tho cruss-bultocks, King himself sreenny tenn more upon his advantage in weight and size tl on his science, in part of fight, it was apparent that he thought he eould overwhelm his antagonist. ‘Tom delivered vory straight with his left, and was re- markably busy at in-fighting. Still. as we thought would be the case, he gradually tired towurds the conciusion of the fight, while, on the other hand, Mace began to fight much better, and must have, seen his error, in not being first to lead’ off,as the onsia: ght of so heavy a man should never be waited for. Upto the time of the tall which left King to the, cajl of, time. the impression ‘was that he was having much the best of the contest: but the lasting qualities of Mace renders it difficult to suy when he is beaten, as it is quite closr that, like Sayers, be would come up as loug as hewas able to stand on his legs, and might thereby bid deflance to heavier who tire thomselves by the operation of their own heavy machinery, Still, it must be admitted that Mace did not perform up to the expectations of his many admirers, but looking at how King beat a good game big one like young Broome, the fight of yesteruay, with uny defects it, may hhave had, must stamp Jem Mace as one of the most ex- traordinary pugilistsof the present day, He was asked to do a thing which afew Sit] since would hi been looked upon as an impossibility, viz :—To give away a stone and a half in weight, nearly aix inches in hoight, and something considerable in the reach “‘to boot.’” King, although beaten, is inno ree which he appealed to them as Yankee sail them to act up to their reputation.

She is admira- bly adapted for Louisiana waters, and will no doubt ren- der important servies, ‘This morning the steam transport Oriental, from Anna- polis, arrived, having on board the Forty-seyenth Penn- sylvania regiment, Colonel Good commanding, destined for this place, and forming part of the brigade of General Brannan. As the steamer came to the wharf the band ‘was playing one of our national airs, and crowds soon collected to witness the disembarkation of the new regi- ment, It was seven o’clock in the morning when the steamer arrived, und at nine o’éleck the regiment disembarked, iato one of the principal streets, where they cked arms while the location of their camp was selected. ‘About noon the order to ‘fall in’ was given, and tho regiment, over one thousand strong, preceded by their superb band of twenty-three pieces, marched to their eu- campment, which mm the opposite side of the barracks to where the Ninetieth New York tz encamped. The men of this regiment are sturdy Pennsylvanians, and although thoy presented the appearance of landsmen coming from sea Voyage, still it was evident that they were of the “right Stripe,” and would not be found wanting when their services are required. The Forty-seventh entered the service of the government on the Ist of September last; immediately after they were ordered to Washington, and from thence into Virginia, where they were attached to the third brigade of General Bmith’s division. ‘The regiment appears to be remarkably well officered and in a high state of discipline, Their arms are the Minie musket, the best weapon we have. I have no hesi- tation {2 pronouncing them one of the finest volunteer regiments I have ever seen. They left Camp Griffin, in Virginia, on tho 23d of January, were transported to Au- papolis, and from that place embarked on the Oriental on Monday, the 27th ult., at four in the afternoon, and, after a rapid and pleasant passage, arrived here as before stated. It was a most agreeable change for them, coming, as they had, from Virginia, where everything was covered with snow, and the mud knee deep, to midsummer, where the roses are blooming and trees covered with fruit. Their first night on shore they spent in the open air, with the heavens for a roof. Now their camp is rapidly assuming its proper form, and will soon be ready for inspection. Before the regiment landed the officers called a meet- ing for the purpose of expreseing their feelings towards the officers and crew of the Oriental. The following is a copy of the proceedings:— Sreamsurr Oprextas., Ker West, Feb. 4, 1862. Ata meeting of the officers of the Forty-seventh Penn- sylvania Volunteers, held as above indicated, previous to their disembarkation, on motion of evant Colonel ti, W, Alexander, Surgeon F. W.

Judge Steele, the oldest resident, Was permitted to remain on the island, he being old and infirm. ‘The following is a list of the articles captured at Cedar Keys and brought on board the tteras:—One sail boat, coppered and rigged complete; one launch and ferry scow, four stand of colors, five © Mpasses, one quadrant, two clocks, one spyglass, ‘one six-pounder field piece, one hundred and five shot for do., one hundred and twenty eightcen-pound shot, two arge truck wheels, two small do., three revolver pistols, eventeen muskets and bayonets, four spades, seven shovels, ene broad axe, one shotgun, double barrel; one frame house, yellow pine; five frame beds and three cot ivames, one old jib, one new main sheet, four blocks and whips, one bbl. of rice, half bbl, of beef, four turkeys. The occupation of Cedar Keys was a very brilliant affair, deserving the highest praise. the more so because accomplished without the loss of life or firing of a gun. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the officers and crew of the Hatteras for the admirable manner in which the entire affair was conducted. The landing party was m charge of the r, whose name I am at present uuable to furnigh, but hope to de so by the next oppor- tunity. It a to be regretted that the Florida's draught of water was too great to permit her to approach within ten miles of the harbor; still her boats were armed and manned, ready to aid the Hatteras had agsistance been wanted. The destruction of so many vessels and so much property will have the effect to teach the people of Cedar Keys and the adjoining locality a very severe lesson. At least one thousand barrels of turpentine and rosin were de- stroyed, and the greater part of the tresselwork bridge connecting the Keys and 2 Is is to De regretted that n0 troops accompanied this oxpedition; for, after the navy had dome the work, the army could have occupied the place permanently. As it is, the Hatteras left there for Ship Island, and the Florida was compelled to eome here for coal, thus leaving the place ready for the occupation of the rebels, which will nodoubt be done, and the place be fortified, if troops ROUND FOURTEEN. This round was a short and active one, the exchanges being well delivered on both sides, until they closed at the ropes, where Mace was busy getting well on the nose, and went down, as it was thought, suspiciously. An ap- peal of foul was made, but not allowed. ’ ‘Time, thirty minutes. ROUND FIFTEEN.

King tried again, but was countered sharply on the nose; this riled him, and, rushing at Mace, he bored him down at the repes. ROUND EIGHTEEN. The mon on coming up looked cautious, and sparred for an opening. King at length led of with his left, and Mace, in getting away, slipped down, but immediately jumped up and renewed the round.
