The Great International Fight.

The excitement respecting the great inter-
national fight, has created much interest here.
as in other quarters. People may say what
they please about the brutality of the thing,
the lowness Of such an exhibition. and is de.
teriorating effects upon society and the rising
generation, but courage and gallantry will al
ways be admired and worshipped so long as
the world lasts. Men who never hitherto took
the least interest in such a contest as a prize
fight, or the performances of the P. r., have
in the late fight between Heenan and Savers
been led entirely away by their enthusiasm.
1t has assumed a national interest on both
sides Of the Atlantic; and the conduct Of
the Englishnen in breaking up the fight at
the time when Heenan had won it, as is stated,
is disgrac eful, and has caused a great deal of
bad blood on this side, ridiculous as it may
seem.
The fact of Heenan challenging an expert
enced pugilist, who wore the belt Of victory,
and crossing the ocean to fight him, presents
a picture OF heroiSm which must be admired.
That he won the fight seems plain but we
doubt il it was ever intended that he should
leave the ring as victor by assent of the um-
pire.
We perceive that large sums of money have
been subscribed for Savers in London, and
that the American captains there subscribed
$1,000 for Heenan. Heenan says he will not
leave England without whipping Savers. 1t
is said that the fight will again come of. The
last account, however, says that Sayers will
not be able to use his right arm for two months.
While all accounts say that Heensn iran like
a deer" for a hundred yards after the fight was
broken up, to show that he was as fresh as
ever, the London Star admits that Savers
was obliged 10 be borne in the arms Of his
friends to the cars. A letter from Heer,n

held in the House of Commons.
l~ieenan has received anonymous letters,
stating that if he ever entered the ring again
in England he would not leave it alive-he
would be shot down like a dog.
Three days after the fight %lIeenan was out
riding, looking perfectly well.
There are many among the English who
advise that Sayers present the belt to Eieenan
for the gallantry he displayed, and that IIee.
nan then give it back to him. Heenan says
that is all very pretty, but he says he has
been accused Of want of courage. and that he
does not intend to go back without the belt

doubtless be renewed in two or three weeks

East Hours of the Conventions.

The following are the last proceedings Of
The Conventions at Charleston, and immedi-
ately follows the latest given in our paper last
week. 1t will be seen that each has adjourned
to meet respectively at Baltimore and Rich
mond on the 1lth and 18th Of next month:
CHARLESTON, May 3.-The National
Democratic Convention met this morn
Ing at 10 o'clock.
The delegates were busily engaged,
during the early part of the day, in dis
cussing the condition of affairs in their
convention.
Tho late day, and the limited number
of delegates present, made 1t impossible
to proceed with balloting.
A resolution was offered providing
for an adjournment, to meet i'll Balti-
more ON tic 18th Of juno next for the
purpose of nominating candidates for
President and Vice President.
A~resolu ion was presented requesting
all States unrepresented TO fill their va
cancies.
Both of the above resolutions were
unanimously carried, and the convention
adjourned to meet III the city of BaIti-
more on the day appointed.
The train which left this city this eve
ing took away many of the delegates
and visitors to their homes.
The steamship Coa~tzacoalcos left yes
terday evening for New Orleans, via
Havana, with a good list of passengers.
