TO TIE FREEMAN,

NEW YoaK, Dec. %. The steamship Jura
from Liverpool the 10th via Londonderry the
18th, arrived this morning In the great fight
between King and Heenan at Stourbridge on
the 10th inst King won in twenty-five rounds
lasting thirty-one minutes.
The Times says there was little science on Ell
Their side. lleenan's game was throughout to
close ana put the hug on 50 as to crush his
antagonist by dashing him violently to the
ground Kings tactics were different, and
more credltable. Ii was rumored that Heenan's
shoulder was broken.
The Tme's says the prize fight was fair,
stand-up affair, and ended in the decisive victo-
~ of King. 1t hopes it will be the last great
fight Heerau was badly punished The earli-
er rounds were decidedly favorable to Heenan,
but King showed the most endurance.

The question ofa method by which those

may be enabled to enjoy their rights of
suffrage, is one OF great interest. to the
people OF this State, aud has justly excited
their attention. / do not doubt that the

in the general desire that those who SO
nobly endure fatigue and suffering, and
peril life in the hope that by such sacrifi-
ces our national Union may be preserved
and our Constitution upheld, shall, ifpos-
sible, be secured an opportunity for the
free and intelligent exercise OF all their
political rights and privileges. The Con-
stitution, of this State requires the elector
to vote in the election district in which
he resides; butit is claimed by some that
a law can be passed, whereby the vote OF
an absent citizen may be given by his
authorized Representatives. 1t is clear to
me that the Constitution intends that the
right to vote shall only be exercised By
the elector in person.. 1t twould be an

MYSTERIOUS nrsAppEARANCE. - A
young lady, by the name of Miss Annie
Benner, whose parents reside in De Witt
County, Illinois. left her home about the
first inst for this city, as she said, for the
purpose OF visiting an Aunt of hers re-
siding here, but undoubtedly, as her
parents supposed. to visit soldier from
Illinois who was here in the hospital
She arrived safely in our city, and spent
the first night with her Aunt. Ia the
morning she expressed desire to take a
walk around the city and visit the hos
pitfalls. Her Aunt told her if she would
wait until afternoon she would accompany
her, but she could not be persuaded to
this and insisted on going alone, saying.
however, that she would postpone visit
ing the hospitals for the present. She
LEFT the house about 8 o'clock she did
not return to dinner, and towards evening
her Aunt, who had become somewha,
anxious, started out in quest of her -
After numerous inquiries she heard tha.
the young lady had been seen walking
about on the bluffs above the camp ground
at four O'Clock and acting very strangely,
and since then no one has seen her and
no information can be gained concerning
her. Her parents have become almos,
distracted about her disappearance, and
her father was in our city Yesterday in
search OF her, but could obtain mo cl,.
as to what had become of her. Fe.r.
are entertained BY her relatives that shs
was disappointed and did not find he,
"bold soldier boy" here as she expected
and has gone in search Of him elsewhere
or that she seen him and not finding hin
feeling toward Ter as she expected, wa,
led to commit suicide by jumping int.
the river. This however is hardly prob
able, if the young lady was in her righ
mind, which she appeared to be Will.
here We will wait until more ex
tended search is made before We come t.
that conclusion. Perhaps there will be
some startling Developments made which
will astonsh even the knowing ones O
