THE PRIZE RING.
| We published yesterday from the New York
Herald of Tuesday, challenge purporting to be
| from John Morrissey to John c. Heenen, of which
Morrssey now denies the authorship. The Herald
of yesterday says:
The letter handed in at office in the usual
manner, and it was signed by Mr. Morrissey's
name, and its terms appeared to be in accordance
with his previous declarations, we supposed it
| genuine, and therefore gave it to the public
Last evening Mr.. Heenan called at our office, and
after expressing his surprise at the haste with which
Mr.. Morrlssey pressing the affair to an issue
left with us the following acceptance of the sup
posed challenge:
To the Editor Of the Herald:
New York, July II, 1860
have noticed with much satisfaction that John
Morrissey declares he will keep the promise made
to me before | went to Europe, and give me a
second meeting in the ring. This in itself pays me
for the time have spent in England, and at once
accept of all the terms he offers, and choose for
the stakes the highest sum he names. In proof
thereof will place in any responsible mans hands
the sum of $4,000 as preliminary deposit for a
match OF $4,000 side, pending the drawing ot
the articles and the selection of a stakeholder.
snuuu nave been pleased, after my long stay abroad
to have had few weeks of leisure to enjoy among
my friends; but as there is no way in which | can
be gratted much as by being guaranteed an
early match with Morrssey, hope they will ex-
cuse me for this occupation of my time. If
Mr.. Morrissey will send me word by note when and
where he desires to me for the arrangement OF
preimnaries will meet him without DELAY: and
the only further wish / now desire to express is
that, like the stakes, the forfeit may be large.
Yours truly, JouN C. HEENAN
At late hour, however, messenger called at
the Herald office and left the following note en-
| closed in an envelope bearing the water mark OF
| the Congress Hotel, Saratoga Springs and with
| the endorsement, ''Deliver tonight, sure:'
To the Editor Of the Herald:
SARATOGA SPRINGS, July II, 1860.
My attention has been called to challenge, pur-
| porting to come from me to John C.. Heenan, in
| your issue of this day. | desire to say in answer
! that am not the author of said challenge nor
| have l authorized any person or persons to issue
such challenge in my name. Moreover, am not
training for fight, but am here for my health and
| have business of more Importance on hand thar
| preparing for such contest. Yours, respectfully
| JOHN MoRRlssEY.
At this late hour it is impossible to ascertain
whether this note is or is rot in MorriSsey's hand
writing, or which, if either, of the two letters
| signed John Morrissey," are genuine. None O.
| Mr.. Morrissey's friends who might identify the
|
gard to MOrrissey's presence in town are so contra
dictory as to be unreliable. We therefore give the
matter to the public in the shape in which it now
stands and await further DEVELOPMENTS in the matter
in order to disentangle this pugilistic imbroglio
SETTING TIMOTHY MEADow-A timothy mead
Ow, which is properly set in grass, in the first in
stance, will last for seven years, and for the frs
| four years will annually increase in productive
| ness. But to attain this very desirable result
| much care, in preparing the SOIL is necessary In

less labor will answer. But it is at all times i'm
! portant that. for timothy meadow, the ground
| whether upland or lowland, should be of tena
cious texture; should be either naturally rich, OF
should be made so by the application of appropriate
fertilizers, and that deep ploughing, and wherever
necessary, ubsoiing also, should precede the har
row and the roller. If the soil of our meadows il
| during what Mr.. Merriam would call s'the heated
term, the grasses will be burned up, and the deli
cate dubious roots which distinguish timothy from
other grasses, will suffer serious injury. Dee]
ploughing and sub-soiling will not only obviat
this, by enabling the roots to draw moisture from
| what may be styled 'the reserve supply" whcl
has thus been stored up below, but will increase
at the same time, the amount of soluble food. Fo
| grass meadow that requires assistance in th
| shape of fertilizers, we know of no better applica
| tion than an admixture of manipulated guano, o
finely crushed bones, and wood ashes. One hundred
| and fifty pounds of guano, and twenty-five bushe
|
bones, with the same amount of ashes, will suffice
for an acre of land. An occasional op-dressipg o
wood ashes, subsequently,, say 10 bushels semi an
nually for the first four years, and the guam
tity annually thereafter, will give, with such prep
| arations as we have already indicated, excellent
| crops throughout the whole period that the timo
thy occupies the ground-especialy if harrow, OF
a scarifer, is drawn over the field in the spring.
Quantity of seed to the dcre-From one to one ant
| half pecks of seed to the acre should be sown.
| Time Of seeding-From middle of August to the
middle of September.-Rural Register, July.
| THE MAYoRALTY.-The Baltimore correspondent
of the Philadelphia Inquirer writes as follows:
we VIII have fierce contest for the next mayor
| atty of Baltimore. Many prominent names are al
ready mentioned as candidates both and al
sides. Prominent amongst those of the Opposition
| or Union party Hon. Thomas Swami, presen
| incumbent, John l.. Chapman, Esq, now membe
of the City Council, elected last fall by Reformer
and Americans. Col George Herring is also nameC
| as in expectancy. John W. Ross, one of our prom
inent merchants, gentleman noted for his enter
prise and public spirit in all respects competent,
| often spoken of in this connection. Mr.. McAllister
self nominated, is out in card, over his own sigma
ture, for the nomination. Mr.. Abbott is also spoker
| of by some. He is a clever, practical gentleman
Col Stewart is also in the field. Mr.. Spcer, Pres
ident of the first branch of the City Council, think
there is chance for him. John L. Ford is a gooC
deal spoken of. Mr.. Balm is also in the ring. There
| are many others of minor note. The Democrats
now since we have new police system, and are
| likely to have fair election, look with hopefulnes
towards getting the municipal government of Bal
timore under their control at the ensuing fall eec
| ton. This they may do. They talk of Hon. VIM.
| G. Harrison in connection with the mayoraty. He
| is an excellent man. One of our very best citizens
