The first regiment of BerdaH's Sharpshoot

Gen. McCleIlan's staff. The regiment Went
through the various descrip tons Of dnll, par.
ticularv rs sklrmsheis, with d gree OF pre-.
cision that, considering tho men have been in
service but six weeks, was quite miraculous
and elected the strongest praise from Col. IL
Single companies have on several occasions
been detailed for special service across the
Potomac, and have rendered efficient service.
The regiment now consists Of eight full com
panles, aud az soon as the Sharp's rifles, with
whc they are to be armed, are received, will
be ready to take th' position Of leading the
advance Of the grand army whenever McCel.

Col Berdan, under the authority furnished
him by the Government, has accepted sixty
companies Of sharp shooters, which are rapid
ly filing up in the vsrous loyal States. The
second regiment i. expected to bs here within
tao weeks, and the Others within the cou's
Of sixty days. The drill, which is principally
conducted by Lieutenant Colonel Mrars, in
cludes several hours march each day under
heavy knapsscks, for the purpose Of training
the men to endure the fatigue Of forced mar

DEAR SIR have been honored 10y your

pirate Committee, to attend and address Il
L niun meeting of the citizens of Chester and
Lancaster counties, to be held at IIaye-ville

rectly estimate the deep interest which feel.
in common with the citizens who will there
be assembled, in the present condition Of our
country This is indeed serious; but our
recent military reverses, SO far from proluc-
ing dependency in the minds of loyal and
powerful people, will Only animate them to
more mighty eXertions in u-tainiug war
which has become inevitable by the assault
Of the Confederate States upon Fort Sumter
For this reason, were it possible, waving all
other topics should contne myself to a
solemn and earnest appeal to my country
men, and especially those without families
to volunteer Tor the war, and Join the many
thousands OF brave and patriotic volunteers
who are already in the field This is the mo-
ment for action, for prompt, energetic. united
action, aud not for the Discussion of pc lcr
propositions These we must know would
be rejected by the States that have seeded,
unless we should offer to recognize their in
dependence which is entirely out Of the
question.
Better eoUnses may hereafter prevail,
when these people shall he convinced that
the war is conducted not for their conquest or
sui iugaton, but solely for the purpose of
bringing them back to their original position
in the Union without imp irirg in the slight-
est degree any Of their constitutional rights
While, therefore. we shall cordially hail
their return under our common glorious flag,
and welcome them as brothers, yet until that
hapI day shall arrive it will he our duty to
support The President, with all the men and
means at the command of the country, in
vigorous and successful prosecution of the

From The n. Y. Spirit Of the Times.
Fight between Tom Sayers and Jom
Mace.

We learn from n gentleman who arrived by
thc steamer Cuy of New York that the cele
hrated champion and the almost equally
renowned champion have had n turn up in
the bar room of u hotel in Sine street. Liv
erpool, very recently. Our Informant states
that Jem Mace, who is or was al the time
under an engagement with Pablo Fanque's
circus troupe, met Sayers, who is also
gagged with another travelling circus Glove
IL Custing'sl in Liverpool Itis we'll known
that for a long time past latent spirit of
hostility and jealous rivalry has existed be-
tween the two pugiistic luminaries and that
this feeling was increased, If not actually en-
gendcred, by the openly expressed cortemp-
tuous estimation Of the eX-champion for
Dlace's pugilistic abilities and science.
The challenge which Mace threw out to
the gallant rom after the latter's publicly
announced retirement from the prize ring
coupled with the well known fact that the
Handsome annuity (accruing from the mus
nifitcut fnud of subscriptions which had been
the reward of his gallantry in his contest
with lIeenan) which he now enjoys, would
toe forfeited if he again entered the ring, has
added fuel'to the previously existing fire of
animosity between them. Their meeting ac-
eidently in bar room, one evening, in Liver
pool, where both of the respective circus
troopers were exhibiting, and the mutual re-
ordinations which ensued, naturally led from
war of words to one of blows. Both
men "peeled' on the spot, and the spectators
present enjoyed the intensely exciting spec
tacle of champion and eX-champon of Eng
land "milng' each other with that vigor
and severity that only deeply-rooted personal
animosity can produce
We are told, and can readily believe, that
the fight was an unusually interesting one.
Mace, in consequence of his regular and tenn
perate habits, was far in the best condition;
Sayers being, as is well known, considerable
of a bon gigdnt, with strong partiality for
indulging in conviyality, company and late
hours. His indomitable bulldog courage,
tremendously powerful hitting, at last en-
abled him to gain decisive victory over the
champion After half an hour hard and very
fast lighting, terrific hit from the "auction-
eer" on the throat knocked Mace all abroad
aud unable TO come again to the scratch. AS
soon as it was over, Tom was among the first
in andeavoring to bring his gallant opponent
round, all his animosity having evaporated
on the defeat of his antagonist. SGyers him
self did not escape unscathed as Mace re-
peatediy visited his "deal" with his danger
Gus left, making bis mark" very legibly
while Tom showed that his right hand had
not forgot its cunning 10y the execution done
on his opponent.
