Before another issue of the RE-
ooRDER, the big fight for a purse Of
$40, 900, the Diamond Belt, and the
Championship of Che world, between
John l.. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain,
will be over. They will fight next
Monday on a spot near New Or
leans; great many people in Dur
ham as well as m lions throughout
the country will await with solici
tude the result. IL is said that Sui
livan is unquestionably the harder
hitter and probably the hardest hit
ter ever in the prize ring; and if his
lungs were equal to his arms, Meth
er Kilrain nor any other known
pugilist would have a chance off
cess against him.
We hope 10 zee all the old
soldiers here tomorrow, mingling
together and talking over old times;
they have often met amid the roar
ing cannon and flashing musketry;
but they will meet tomorrow to pre-
pare and make a downy pillow for
their heads, on which they may quiet
ly rest. When the South said the
country was trembling on the brink
of rum, these veterans were the
first to go out and the last to come
back. Many brave man left his
home never to return-fell like
wheat before the sickle. Ii is inter-
esting TO hear an old soldier tell his
experience IN the late war. While X.
+. Webb, an old war-horse, and a
large tobacco buyer relates warstories
his daring eyes flashes fire as though
he heard the bugle's call to arms.
The enemy took the laurels from
the Confederate's crown and twined
them round their own banner, but
it put no change on Col. Webb,
Il. w. York, OF Chatham, and thous-
ands Of Others in the Old North
state, who met with an iron will in
that fierce conflict.
A young Durhamite created
quite q sensation on the excursion
train Saturday a week-ago. He
looked out and sa d he saw sight,
and his comrades looked, but saw
nothing unusual; but his eyes con-
tinued TO dance and sparkle: the
cute little Heary was laughing in
his sleeves, for he was satisfied that
Charley was frightened at nothing;
but Charles, poor fellow, did over
reach the mark, when he said: "for
God sake, look; did YOU ever see such
a field Of collards." All. the fault
was in him; it was nothing but a
ield of line tobacco. Brother Walk
