PERsoNAL.-Y Yesterday we received a
call from H. S. Magoon Esq. .,of Darlington
who has just returned from a visit to his
old home in Tennessee. He reports the
southern whites to be as intensely disloyal
and as bitter against the U. s. Government
as during the war. The conduct of An
drew johnson, and the release of Jeff.
Davis in particular appear to have had a
very bad effecton the.state of things there.
They attribute the leniency which has
been shown them to fear rather than mag
nanimity. Negro schools are springing
up in all directions, and are progressing
finely, the negroes being intensely anxious
to learn, and in most cases making won-
derful progress. At present there appears
to be far more signs of progress and ad-
vancement on the part of the blacks than
the whites.

Jack Ryan and Martin Broderick, two game

After the ring was formed aud preparations

turkeys.
The bruisers came together again. however,
and, pulling up stakes, removed five miles fur

escaped being hacked to pieces by the stars OF
the rural district. They fought ninety-eight
rounds, to the great delight of the spectators.
For fifty or sixty rounds Ryan had the advan-

with a vim, and won the fight Both were

he would oppose Salnave. Considerable excite
