re- The Virginia Republican Stale
Convention met at Wheeling on the LIST,
and had very harmonious and enthusi-
astic session. Delegates were present
from all parts Of the State, and full State
and District delegations, with allernates.
were appointed. The committee on res
olutions reported in favor Of protective
tariff, equality Of rights among citizens,
opposition to prescription on account of
opinions or birthplace, approving the
homestead bill. and fayoring the plan Of
colonizing the free negroes. The next
convention is to be held at Richmond.

The Heenan.Sayers Contest.

iE- The "great international prize
fight" seems to have turned out pretty
much as the grand Democratic exhibit
ton at Charleston, requiring another con-
test to decide which will win The
friends Of both pugiists claim the victo-
ry, although there seems to be but little
doubt that KEENAN, is much the best
man. WILKES, of the New York Spir-
1t of the Times, declares that the Amer
lean outfought the Champion at every
point, and whipped him fairly. In the
last three or four rounds Tom did not
come to the " Scratch" but HEENAN was
compelled to go and seek him through
the crowd, which he did even after the
referee had retired from the ring. In
these rounds he drove SAVERS about as a
man would boy, and hit him down as
he pleased, and having got the champ
ions head fast under his arm and against
the ropes, had him fully at his mercy, but
was kicked and struck by SAVERS friends,
who dragged the latter from the Ameri-
cans hold. WILKES Indignantly protests
against the treatment which HEENAN re-
ceived, and proclaims him, in pugilis-
tic point of view, the champion of the
world.
On the other hand the London Times
says that the referee left the ring and en-
deavored to stop the battle, at the solicit
tatons of HEENAN's friends, and claims
that had the battle continued, SAVERS
would have been the victor in six min
utes more. Other English authority
states that HEENAN had become almost
entirely blind, and was at the champions
mercy when the ring was broken in
The referee, by the last advices, had made
no decision, but it is thought would I'M
doubtedly declare the battle drawn
There was no prospect of the men again
meeting, and it is to be hoped that the
brutal exhibition will not be repeated.

The Boiling Convention.

Gtr The Boilers from the Charleston
Convention met at St. Andrews Hall,
Charleston, Immediately after leaving the
regular Convention, and continued in
session until after the adjournment OF the
latter. They were heartily cheered by
the people Of Charleston, and guns were
fred in their honor. On calling the roll,
some of the New York Wood delegates
answered, and declared sympathy with
them. But subsequently the latter were
not allowed seats in the convention. Sen

ident, and an organization perfected
The platform of the majority of the Com.
mittee In the other Convention, declaring
for protection of slave property in the Ter.
ritores, was adopted. A proposition tc

the delegates claiming to be the only Ma.
tional Convention. After the adjourn.
ment of the regular convention, dis
cussion ensued relative to an adjournment
to Baltimore also, some delegates con-
tending that they were still entitled to
seats in the other Convention This was
strenuously opposed, and was overruled.
A proposition was then made that com
mttee of one from each State be appoint
ed to prepare an address to the people of
the United States, explaining the reasons
for the action which the Convention had
taken and vindicating its principles but
meeting with much opposition the reso-
luton was Withdrawn, but not until the
President, who opposed it, had resigned
his position and Withdrawn from the Con
vention. ROBERT SCoTT, of Alabama,
was then chosen President, after which
aresolution was adopted providing that an
address be prepared stating the grounds
on which the Southern States seeded
from the Convention, to be published
with the proceedings of the convention
Mr.. JACKSON, of Georgia, then offered a
resolution for Southern Conve ntion, to

THE Iowa Fur TRADE.-All of the
main streams Of Iowa have during the
last winter and spring swarmed with fur
producing animals. Trapping has been
carried on very successfully, and al
though the prices of furs have not rang
ed as high as during some years, larg-
err aggregate income has been realized
than during any corresponding period
One intelligent trader informed us recent
ly that in his judgment enough mon
ey had been realized from this source,
since October last, to pay the entire tax
of the State for the present year.-Du-
bugue Times.
