Observation-Disclosures IN NEw-oRLEANs.
Neworlcans, July 5.-"The Picayune's' dispatch
from Jackson, Miss, says that Governor Lowry has
sent the following telegram to all sheris the south
ern border Of Mississippi where it is possible for the

necessary on both the Northeastern and the Nashville
and Louisville roads. Send reliable man TO
New-Orleans TO telegraph you on what
road and what moment the excursion
starts. If your force is distant from the telegraph
Office, have relays to give you the information. If you
wish win have armed troops at easy distance from
you to aid you in preserving the peace or arrcstng
the parties. If the fight takes place on Mississippi
SOIL will pay 81 900 for THO arrest and delivery OF
Sullivan and Kilrain to the sheriff of the county Of
its occurrence. The payment OF this reward applies
to officers as well TO private citizens. Reply at
my expense"
Governor Lowry asserts that he is determined not
TO allow the fight TO take place on Mississippi soil,
no matter what the effort requires In the way OF
money and troops.
TIE arrival of sullivan and the enthusiasm exhibited
ty his friends in this city has in no wise dampened
the ardor of friends of Kilrain, and instead of
detractng from their number, Sullivan's arrival ap-
pears TO have increased them 1t is noticeable
fact that while the central portions of the city dis
posed 10 side with Sullivan, the upper regions
largely in favor of Kirain.
The rooms which have been set apart for Kilran
and HIS seconds cool and pleasant, and in
handsome two-story frame dwelling adjoining and
owned by the club. They gallery rooms, have
southerly exposure, and elegantly fitted up with
Victoria bedroom sets trimmed with blue silk Kill
rain and his seconds will be able to enjoy greater Sc
clusion than do Sullivan and his trainers they will
not have go out into the street at all TO 60 to and
from the gymnasium. Kilrain will remain in his
quarters until he goes to the of the battle on
Monday. He and his party are expected here in the
morning.
John l.. Sullivan and his immediate retlnue are
comfortably established ct private boarding house,
No. 60 North Rampart-st, opposite the rooms OF the
rymnasc clubs where the redoubtable fighter takes
his daily exercise The house is besieged from morn
ing till night by a crowd of curious men and boys
who patiently wait for hours the bare possibility
OF catching glimpse OF him. Sullivan now
weighs cog pounds, and the severe training he
underwent before he arrived here has been abandoped
although he will take exercise than an ordinary
man could endure without complete exhaustion.
To those who can only see him in fancy there is
doubtless something ludicrous in the idea Of man
of suivan's massive frame indulgng ia such school
girl pastime as jumping the rope. but there is no
suggestion Of absurdlty in the spectacle He skps
one foot at a time and he does it with the grace
and airiness of ballet girl. lie Skipped a
thousand times without stopping, and was not adiby
or visibly putting when he got through lhat ought
ccsed a bystander, aud so, indeed. it would seem.
sulyan is reported 10 be the only man who ever &C
oomDIshed the feat. The nearest approach TO 1t is
ESQ skips by man weighing lao pounds
