THE GREAT PUoILlsrIC BATTLE.

THE GREAT PUGILIsTIC BATTLE.
The encounter between Heenan and King
In the ring in England, for 5000 side, was
appointed to come off last Tuesday. The
"Benicia Boy" will have fair play on this oc-
casion, for he seems to have been adopted out
right by the English nation. The last Bell's
Life received here speaks Of those who term
the fight an International one as idiots"
Considerable interest is felt in the affair In
this country and Heenan is the favorite at heavy
odds. A Agentleman In this city, thoroughly
acquainted with tho capabilities of the Boy"
offers to lay 5000 against 81, 400 on him. The
same gentleman has made a bet Of 8 to 20 that
Heenan beats King within thirty minutes.

He Recommends Further Taxation
TO Put Life into the Rebel
Finances.

FORTRESS MONROE, Dec. 1l.-Jen. Davis
msssage..to Congress, December 9Th is despond-
ing over the losses of the stronghoids Of vicks.
burg, Port Hudson and other points. He says
there is no Improvement In the relations With
foreign countries, since last annual message,
on the contrary, there Is creator divergence 10
the conduct Of European nations, assuming .
character positively unfrendly. The marked
partialty by Great Brtian In favor Of our enc
mics, is strongly evinced In their decisions ra-
garding the blockade, as well as their marked
difference of conduct on the subject Of the
purchase Of supplies BY the two bclligerents.
This difference has been conspicuous since the
commencement of the war. The public hnan-
Gee demand tho strictest and most earnest at
tention.
A prompt and efflcacious remedy for the
present condition of the currency is necessary
to a successful performance Of the monetatlons
of the Government.
He recommends taxation instead Of further
sales of bonds or issues Of Treasury notes.
The holders of currency now outstanding can
only be protected by substituting for them
some other security. The currency must be
promptly reduced to prevent the present In
dated prices reaching rates more extravagant.
He calls upon the people to come to their
rescue, and recommends putting an end to
substitution, and modifying the exemption law
and add forces to their army largely and
promptly as possible.
He regrets the suspension of the exchange Of
prisoners.
Communication with ns-Nississippi Is so
obstructed as to rende: 1t difficult to comply
with legislation vesting authority in the erecu-
tion of government.
The enemy refuse proposals for the only
peace possible between us, and the only hope
we have now Is the vigor of our resistance.

4 general order has been issued from the
office of the hGlutaut Gcusral, defining the

hoped that by vigorous effort her quota may
