of what took place after the conclusion of III,
fight;
The ring was Instantly filled with Morrissey,,
friends, who sarrouoded him, yelling AID scream
leg ttetr congratulations in his ears. He was tc,
lar gone TO speak but he made an attempt 60 smile
which was a most CHASTITY thing to see. His ey,
was nearly closed; his mouth cut and lips swollen
bis tongue visible through the blood; aud his nos.
literally battered Fat 20 his face Heenap, saw,
his swollen liss, from the severe supper cut" ht
received, scarcely showed q mark. His exhaus
tion was entirely due 20 his being OUT OF condition
aud to his own tremendous exertions, and not tt
any punishment he received from his adversary.
ihete was the utmost enthusiasm among tht
Morrissey people after the fight, and the friends

ihe resnlt are better satisfied with him than ever
ne having proved 50 satisfactorily his pluck ane
ability, aud profess themselves willing to bet more
money than ever on him.
iieenan and Morrissey were placed side by side
on the same wagon after the fght aud drawn TO,
mile or 80, when they we're again taken on board
the steamboats, and proceeded 10 Buffalo Tn,

House. where he washed his face, aud then took
supper With some friends. His face shows nd
marks save very slight discoIoration under one
eye. and his lips slightly swollen from a blo "
which cut his lips against his teeth. Hisieit hand

aorrissey is not TO be seen aud was so badly hur,
that he will not probable be removed from Buffalo

At present the feeling of all who witne.sed the
battle is that Morrisey's winning was solely due
to his undonbted pluck and astonishing power OF
enduring severe punishment, aud not in The least
degree TO any science displayed by him. All the
fighting was done by Reenan, who received not
one blow to Morrissey's twenty, and had he been
in proper condition 10 fight the result might
have been very different. Within eight hours af.
ter the battle Ueenan offered 81 900 to $500 that
Morris,ey is rot the better man of the two. the
point to 10 decided in the ring within three months
bu: he fouGd no takers.
Morrssey has declared his intention to retire
from the RUG, and to fight no more, but HeeDau
will never rest satisfied unti be has either beaten
Mr.. Morrissey, or until that gentleman has pumel-
cd into him thorough conviction that the Ben cia
Boy can never become the Champion Of AmericG.

hanging rocky gorge 1000 fes. below, when, to
his surprise, he heard the g0nnd Of hard breathing
Just behind. Looking over his shoulder be bebeid
a stranger sing by his hands and feet, and vet
telling steadily aud nanf1iIy up the same fearful
