A ROMANTIC SToRY.-The Richmond
Dispatch chronicles romantic story, deriV-
ed from gentleman for many years en-
gagged in the prosecution of military claims,
who obtained the particulars from de-
scendant of the parties that form the sub
iect of the narrative. Early in the revo-
lutionary war a man named Lane enlisted
in company raised at Manchester. Va,
to serve three years. The company went
Moth and joined Washington's army. TAX

was severely wounded at Brandywine or
Germantown, and during the battle and
after was taken care of oy brother SOL
dier TO whom he had become greatly attach
ed as himself. The terms of service hav-
ing expired, these two soldiers were dis
charged and returned home, devoted and
inseparable friends. In the meantime the
tide of war rolled on TO the South, and
they again enlisted to serve IN General
Lincoln's army, at that time engaged II

did their duty bravely- AT last Lanes
coarade was wounded in turn, and wa

the repeated stopping 0f blows, and Heenan's
hand also became much swollen from the re-
peated use he had made of it.
"a. Sayers hit out rapidly; twice giving IL
to Heenan, both on the nose and mouth.
Heenan, however, followed Sayers up and
struck him heavily on the mouth, and sent
him TO the ground. f
50. The two soon closed, and Sayers, get
ting hold of Heenan by the neck, hit him Sc
verely over the left eye.
80. The two closed; Sayers was thrown.
81. Heenan gave Sayers ono on the mouth,
the latter falling. f...-..
39. Sayers closed and fell.
80. Heenan gave Sayers one on the head
when he had almost reached the ground
A foul blow claimed but not persevered in
being considered an accident.
40. Heenan got his arm around Sayers's
neck, and to all appearance was strangling
him. Cries Of 'Let him 60" were raised
Heenan, however, stuck to his hold, and the
ring was broken in.
The greatest confusion prevailed. The
umpire was carried away in the throng, and
the fight was prematurely brought to close
neither having been declared the winner
The contest lasted two hours and eight
minutes.
LONDON, April ls-P. M.-There is a ru-
NOR this morning that the men will fight
again, but nothing authentic has transpired,
and there has not been meeting of the par
ties interested.
New YonK, April 2s.-The Times corre-
spondent says, ~ visited Heenan last night,
and found him most comfortable and in ex-
cellent spirits. He is anxious to fight Sayers
as soon as possible, II he is not satisfied with
the present result.
"The Indignation of the Americans here,
and in fact large portion of the British pub
lie, is loudly and vehemently expressed.
'The ring was broken into by pack of
thieves, who used the excuse to rob every
one. II was well known that Mr.. Heenan
would not be allowed to carry the champion 5
belt out of the country, and the Englishmen
who had bet their all ON Sayers, as soon as
they found that their champion was losing,
resorted to the most unfair means, keeping
Heenan back and pulling him down.
"Ameetingo of the Americans will take place
in London tonight, and you may expect to
see some controversies in the papers.
"Mr. George Wilkes will demand the belt
for Heenan, and will furnish testimony to
prove that he is entitled to il. Of one thing
your readers may be certain = Heenan' s
rights will be properly attended to, and his
position will be maintained to the last
The Tribune says: "a gentleman now at
the st. Nicholas, and who witnessed the
fight, says that when Heenan had got Sayers
into such position that he must inevitably
have won the battle, John Morrissey cut the
ropes, and let Heenan fall to the ground"

The EXCITEMENT IN THE CITY ABOUT THE
RESULT OF THE FIGHT.-The excitement on
the reception of the news of the Sayers and
Heenan fight in the city, yesterday morning,
was intense, and for a time even the interest
felt in the Charleston Convention was en-
tirely swallowed up. The bulletin-boards of
the daily newspaper offices were besieged
and the sidewalks blocked up until dark,
while the extras and evening papers sold by
the thousands as rapidly as they could be
struck off.
Every body agrees that Heenan won the
victory, though the $4,000 depending on the
fight are still in doubt. The city talked of
nothing but the great mill, and he who
thought pugilism other than an all-absorb-
ing theme, must have found himself wofully
mistaken

ATTEMPTED SELF-DEsrRUcTIoN- YOUNG
MAN FOR THE THIRD TIME SWALLOWS Poison.
Charles Young, who, our readers will remem-
Der, was implicated in the death of Cordelia
Calkins-whose melancholy demise under
the influence of medicines taken for the pur-
pose of producing premature parturition, a
few months ago, excited so much sympathy
yesterday, for the third time since that I'M
fortunate affair, attempted self-destrnction,
by swallowing a large dose of laudanum. As
in the previous instances however, his pur-
pose was discovered and thwarted. He has
doubtless suffered several thousand deaths,
and we are sure that it would be more hu-
name to allow him to succeed in his efforts
than further to prolong life which must
ever be curse to its possessor.

prostration, after ten o'clock. About the
affair there seems to be a mystery.

A PoETEss ASKING TO BE UNpERsToop.-
Elizabeth Barrett Browning wishes it stated
that the verses in her "Poems before Con-
gress," entitled "a Curse for Nation"
which the Press published recently, are lev
eled-not against England, as is generally
thought-but against the United States; not
on account, she now tells us, of any remiss-
ness on the Italian question, but on account
of the negro matter. America will doubt
less survive Mrs. Browning's cursing, though
she were as gifted in profanity as Templar.

THE LATE STABBING AFFRAY ON THE LEvEE.
Daniel Corbit, who was arrested night before
last for stabbing another named Thomas
Ford in a quarrel at the steamboat landing,
was yesterday committed to Jail to answer
the charge of assault with intent to kill,
before the Court of Common Pleas, in default
of $1,000 bail. Both the parties were deck
hands on the steamer Queen of the Vest and
the otfense seems to have been given some
time since. Ford's ear was taken off in the
affray, but his injuries are not such as to pre-
vent his ultimate recovery.
