Mill Between Allen and Gallagher=Nino Rounds Fought—Allen the Victor—Both Men Badly Punished—Particulars of the Fight. PEEVLY STATION, IRON MounTarn, R. K., i August 17, 1369. The long pending mill between Tom Allen and Charies Gallagher came off to-day near this place. The steamer Louisville, with the prize fighting party on board, reached Foster's Island, Iil., afew minutes before twelve o'clock, All was quiet on tne trip down. Gallagher took up his quarters in the cap- tain’s office, and was the recipient of much atten- tion. Allen was quietly stowed away in @ state- room, and slept soundly during most of the trip. ‘The total receipts from the trip were $1,532, being $1,000 less thau at the McCoole-Alien fight. The ex- cursion boat was chartered for $442. The battle ground is the same as where McCoole and Allen fought, The following were among the noted sports in attendance:—Patsey Reardon, Tom Kelly, Ned O’Baldwin, Sherman Thurston, Billy Carroll, Ed Duffy, Ben Hogan, Jim Coyne, Mike McCoole, Butt Riley and Nelson Dunham, But very little betting was indulged in on the trip. Several small fights, resulting from thé operations of pick- Pockets, took place, All the “plug uglies’? wero armed with clubs, and they used them desperately. The ring was formed in a grove, amid the swelter- img raya of a burning sun. Jim Kearney was ap- pointed ring master, and twenty ring keepera were appointed to preserve order, with Baracy Frayne a3 General superintendent, Dad Ryan was 8p- pointed umpire for Allen, and Jack Looney for Gallagher, Tom Kelly and Ned O’Baldwin were seconds for Gallagher; Jim Coyne and Butt Riley for Allen, The trees in the vicinity were lined with spectators, and in one or two instances limbs broke, causing serious accident to boys. At twepty- five minutes to two Allen entered the ring—his caster being shied therein by Butt Riley—followed by Jim Coyne and Sherman Thurston. Allen wore @ look of confidence, and was closely attended by Billy Carrolt and John Pierson, his backers, At fourteen minutes to two Gallagher entered the ring, accompanied by his seconds, Charlic looked as cool as @ cucumber, and was received with immense cheers, Coyne and Kelly tossed for choice of corners, which was won by Allen, giving him great advantage, as the sun shone fiercely in the opposite direction, Dad Ryan made a speech, and said that owing to the dif_iculty of getting one man for referee he proposed that three referees be selected, the decision of the majority to be final. (ea of “No, no; one man,” by the crowd.) Ryan's proposal was not favorably received. Wes- sell, Murray and others were proposed for referee and declined serving. Tom Kelly said, on behalf of Gallagher, that he would consent to the stakeholder appointing a referee aud submit to his decision. Larry Wessell finally consented to serve as referee. A dovere dispute arofe among the partisans of the men as tO what constituted a gouge. Order was temporarily reato re by twenty-eight minutes past two o’ciock, the iiich gétting feady for the conilict, stripping, &c. Kelly exhibited Gal- Jagher’s colors (green), which were received with fiéthendous enthusiasm. ‘The crowd commenced cheering for Gallagher, who was in his corner. When tie men stripped both seemed in perfect phy- sical condition, Allen wanted to bet $100, which was not taken. At forty minutes past two o'clock the fightcommenced, and, after a series of desperate rounds, was won by Allen. The following are ihe detatis:— RouUND 1.—The men eyed each other very cau- tiously, each taking a minute survey of the other and trying to piant a sockdologer in a tender spot. The sparring on both sides was very dune, and both men displayed splendid wind. Gal- lagher took one irom Tom on the breast, wich didn’t scem to disconcert Lim much. both men were husbanding for a campaiga, and were cheered by their respective partisans. Their seconds approached and sponged the princt- pals, each of wom moved nimbly avout the ring, waiting for au opening, Charley finally got in a heavy blow on the mug, which set the claret fow- ing and sent lomto grass, First blood and first knockdown for Gallagher, Rounp 2.—The men approached each other smil- ing, Some light exchangea were the first thing in order. Gallagher smiled and Tom looked desperate, It was close work for a few minutes, and both men seemed desirous to prolong the fight. Charley tried to look fresh and Tom was slightly disfigured on the facial organ. ‘They both flnally approached in battle array and Tom received a terrific blow under the lug, which (awe him down. Great cheering by Gallagher's friends. HOUND 8.—The men approached the centre of the ring and eyed each other flerccly. Tom was feeling for @ mellow spot near the neck of his opponent. Charley dian’t see tt. Both men soonjiet go, how- ever, with terrible effect and right square on each cheek; a chinch foliowed and Tom voluntarily went down to avoid punishment. At this stage of the fight several clubs were thrown at Allen from outsiders, one of which struck Allen on the cheek, causing blood to flow. Rounp 4.—Allen came up to the scratch smiling, though bleeding protusely. They went to work in earnest at this round, which proved a desperate one. Heavy exchanges und territic blows were the order. Gallagher here got his first serious blow, square on the potato trap, which caused him'to reel towards Ae corner, and the round ended decidedly in Tom favor.

Dodge a place in the Cabinet as Secretary of War is without foundation: The pres- ent incumbent of that office, General Rawlins, has no notion of resigning. He says he has heard nothing from the President intimating that his resig- nation would be accepted; nor, though ne had a let- ter from General Dodge to-day, was there any men- tion of the matter.

It ts saia that just after the result of the Virginia election became known Chief Justice Chase wrote a confidential letier to a prominent politician in Ten- nessee, an old friend of his, wherein he expressed much gratification at the defeat of the bitter enders in Virginia, and rejoiced over the success of the conservatives, ‘The Chief Justice ex- pressed the hope that results similar to that in Virginia would be produced in Tennessee, Missis- sippi and Texas, and strongly hinted that in his opinion the republican party had served its day, and the time was at hand when @ new conservative party should be formed which would embrace the moderate men of ail existing parties. This letter was kept very quiet for some time, but after the Tennessee election the gentleman to whom it was addressed seemed to consider the seal of secrecy re- Moved and showed it around quite freely. He refused, however, to give it to the press.
