Fight Between Tom Sayefs aud Jem Mace
xs--r. a-Asayers the Victor.
From the Spirit Of the Times.


We learn from gentleman who arrived by
the steamer City Of New York, that the cell
cbratcd ex-champion and the almost equally
renowned champion have had turn up Y
in the barre Of hotel in Lime street, Liv-
crpool, very recently. Our informant states
that Jem Mace, who is, or was at the time,
under AT. engagement with Pablo Fanque's
circus troupe, met Savers, who is also engag-
ed with another travelling circus, (Howe &
Cushing's) IN Liverpool. 1t is well known
that for a long time past a latent spirit Of
Hostility and Jealous rivalry has existed be-
tween the two pugilistic luminaries, and that
this feeling has been increased, if not actually
cngendercd, by the openly expressed con-
te,nptuous estimation Of the cx-champion for
Macc's purilistic abilities and science. The
challenge which Mace threw out to the gall
liant Tom, after the latter's publicly announ-
ced retirement from the prize ring, coupled
with the We'll known fact that the handsome
annuity (accruing from the munifccnt fund
Of Subscriptions which had been the reward
Of his sallantry in his contest with Hecnan)
which he now enjoys, would be forfeited If he
again entered the ring, has added fuel to the
previously existing fro Of animosity between
them. Their meeting accidentally in a bar
room, one evening, in Liverpool, where both
Of the respective circus troupes were exhibit
ING, and the mutual recriminations which en-
sued, naturally led from a ''war of words y
to one of blows. Both men peeled on the
spot, and the spectators present enjoyed the
intensely exciting spectacle Of champion and
ex-champion of England milling each
other with the yigor and severity that only
deeply rooted personal luminosity can pro-
duce We are told, and can readily believe,
that the fight was an unusually interesting
one. Mace, in consequence Of his regular
and temperate habits, was in far the best
condition; Sayers being, as is well known,
considerable Of a bon risant, with a strong
partially for induging in conviviality, com.
pany, and late hours. His indomitable bull
dog courage, tremendously powerful hitting,
and thorough practical knowledge of fighting,
sat last enabled him to gain decisive victory
over the champion. After half All hour S
hard and very fast fighting, a terrific hit from
the '"auctioneer on the throat, knocked
Mace all aboard, and unable to come again to
the scratch. As soon as it was over, Tom
was among the first in endeavoring to bring
his gallant opponent round, all his luminosity
having evaporated on the defeat of his antags-
onist. Savers himself did not escape I'M
scathed, as Mace repeatedly visited his IDEAL y
with his dangerous left, making his g mark :"
very legibly, while Tom showed that his
right hand had not forget its cunning, by the
execution done on his opponent. ...

made 10y the opposcrs of the Union movement
in this county, it will be seen by the vote
published elsewhere, tl:.S 80 Inlon ticket
carried the day by handsome niajori,ies in
this town, with two exceptions only. The
maiorities would have been larger had it not
been for a third ticket which was put in the
field last Saturday morning for the sole pur-
pose of defeating the Union ticket. The men
nominated were, 50 far as we know, good
mcn,---Union men,-and pcremptorily rctus-
ed to allow their names to be used, and in
circular, over their own signatures, unquali-
fiedly refused to accept the nominations. But
the ticket was nominated merely for the pur-
pose of playing into the hands of Curtis d
Co., who, after having expressed so much
adherence of those Republicans who were
willing to unite with Democrats this fall on a
Union ticket, were perfectly willing to do the
same thing in a certain sort of way, if there
bv they could advance the interests OF their
own clique What jewel is consistency
The Republicans and Democrats who got up
the ticket referred to cared not straw for
the feelings or wishes of their nominees, and
it is but simple act Of justice to Messrs.
Porter. Hackett, Ordway and VanBuskirk to
say that they utterly ignored the ticket on
which their names We're placed, and that they
gave the Union ticket their votes and intlu-
ence. The ticket was not nominated in a
regular convention, but was Matched up by a
few men, in this place, last Friday evening.
GEN. FpEMoNr.-One day the Geographic
dispatches say that Fremont is to be remov-
ed, and the next contradict it. As near as
we can determine, Judging from the telegraph
ic bosh we have on the subject, Government
has concluded not TO act rashly in the matter,
but defer action until the General has had
something like fair opportunity to show his
capacity for commanding. However the
unfortunate matter may terminate, it seems
to us that to supersede or court. martial Gen.
Fremont now, while his troops are in the
face of the enemy and the loyal citizens of
Missouri together with his friends throughout
the Western Department are so confident
of glorious victory at the approaching bat
tie, would be most disastrous in its conse-
ouences. The " estern army have confidence
in their leaders, ability, and till it is fully
proven that that confidence is misplaced, let
FREMONT hold his position. Our opinion is
that he will prove himself competent for
the command he holds, and the conf lence
of his frients we'll founded. E#
