At early dawn on the morning of the 28th instant, upwards of thirty thousand anxious and excited spectators, your cor respondent included, assembled on the spot where the great “mill’’ spoken of in my last letter was to transpire. Appearance of the Men. The Magnesia Boy was first in the ring with his seconds and appeared as bloom ing as a rose. He was dtessed in nankeen pants, with a Blue flannel overcoat, straw hat and a pair of spurs. Pluggins soon arrived, clad in India Rubber clothing and wore an immense brass breast plate weighing 48 pounds. The combatants stepped nimbly into-the ring and kissed each other, while the seconds tossed a button—not having a dime about them— for the position. Pluggins won the toss and immediately The .men assuaied their respective STANDS. Ist Round. —The Boy parried with his left and let fly a right hander which miss ed Pluggins pocket book about a foot, and so disconcerted him that he retired to liis corner and took a chew of tobacco. [SOO to 1 on the Boy.—] 2d Round. —Pluggins came handsomely to time and after a few feints struck out right and left, the Boy dexterously man aging to avoid blows. More feints when Pluggins stumped his toe against a root and fell very hard to the ground. The Boy immediately took a seat upon the body of his prostrate victim and com mence i reading a copy of Walker’s “Champion.” First knock down for the Boy.—[2ooo to 2on tlie Boy.] 3d Round. —Time being called, both men came to the stand. Pluggins ad vanced upon the Bov and struck him a left hander on a pocket in which he had a bottle of red ink. The bottle flew inro fragments, and the insane crowd, yelled first blood Pluggins. The Boy bleeding profusely from his pocket, was carried to his corner and sponged off.- -[2 to 1 on Pluggins.] 4 th Round. —The Boy slow to time.— Pluggins very much excited. Parrying and feinting on botli sides. The Boy got in a left hander and knocked Pluggins hat off. Pluggins dragged himself slowly to his corner and had his hat replaced on his head. [Cries cf “where’s Pluggins new.] s in Round. —Pluggins brought to his position in a wheel-barrow. His hat was very much damaged. The Boy came boldly up and with scarcely an offort, knocked a hole in Pluggins’ hat which completely confounded him, and he crawl ed to his corner and had his hat sponged off. | Shouts of “Go it my Magneash”— “I am betting on you” “Give him fits” &c., &c. 6 th Round. —The Boy all right. Plug gins hat very much swollen. Caution on both sides for a while when both were clinched and fell. While down, Pluggins took some crackers and cheese from his fiocket and very calmly partook of lunch. Cries oi ‘ go in Pluggins”—who’s afraid,” & c. 7 th Round. —Pluggins hat very much better and generally refreshed. Boy look ing fatigued. Pluggins retired to the ropes and threw a brick at the Boy which knocked him off his pins and fractured one of his spurs, when ho was taken to bis corner. [This round created immense ex citement.] B th Round. —Both men slow to time. Pluggins bleeding from the hat and the Boy eyeing Pluggins very close struck at him with his left hand aud spit in his face which brought Pluggins to the ground. [2OOO to 1 on the Boy.] 9th Round.— Similar to the last one only more so—Betting extraordinary on the Boy. 10 th Round.— Pluggins very furious rushed on tbe Boy aud tore off his coat tail. The Boy mangled and bleeding from the effects of this round was carried to bis corner on two straws: [Cries of foul play—&c. 11M Round. —The Boy gaining strength came handsomely up and struck out with his left at Pluggins hat, which he. missed but killed two horses standing by. Plug gins down. 12/h Round. —Both men in good spirits Pluggins struck out with bis right and the Boy caught his fist in his teeth, hold ing it there. Pluggins drew a dried her ring from his breast pocket with the evi dent intention of stabbing the Boy bat was prevented from so doing. Another tarry and the Boy down. [Hurra for lnggins.| 13/A Round. —Both men appeared tired of the amusement and felt like asking each other’s pardon. The Boy opened his mouth and Pluggins fell very hard to the ground. [“Three cheers for tbe Mag neash.'*] 14/A Round. —Men came to time slowly. Pluggins stooned to get a brick and the Boy down.

[Yells of “where’s de Magneasli now.’.J The fight continued from the 15th to the 168th round without auy marked dif ference. 269/A Round —Both men down. This round was very severely contested and for a time fears were entertained that both men had gone to sleep. Second interfer ed and carried their men to the corners. |Exclamations of “they’re some on the muscle.”] 270/A Round. —Tears streamed down the faces of both men as they came to time. The Boy was in the act of wiping his face with his coat sleeve, when Plug gins mistaking it for a blow fell to the ground. [One million to lon the Boy.] 271*/ Round. —Night closed in when this round was being fought and the im mense concourse of people together with tho seconds and friends of the parties re tired from the field and left the combat ants alone in their glory, to terminate the battle as they felt disDOsed. The scene of battle presented on the following morning a most ghastly specta cle. There upon the cold ground, locked in each others emhrace, lay the two brave men dead—Yus dead!—dead drunk. I have witnessed many, very many scenes that would freeze the life-blood “hanow up the soul” and make one's “hail stand on the end like quills on the fretful porcupine” See., See., See., but I hope in the future to be spared such ail exhibition as this and that never again ill I be compelled to recount to your readers i another such brutal and bloody scene as transpired on yesterday. COWARD. What Douglas said cf Lincoln. Lincoln commenced life in an humble position, working for his living as a fiat boatman studying in the meanwhile for admission to the bar. It was not till 185S that he became more generally known in politics. In that year he was an opposi tion candidate to3l'\ Douglas for the U.S. Senate, and on that cmorable event he canvassed (he e.itire State, going into eve ry (Jointly where Mr. Douglas went, and i attaekting his popular sovereignty notions with vigor. The canvass was a very per sonal one, and some of tho hardest blows dealt to the “Little Giant” were adminis tered by Mr. Lincoln. Douglas, in this personal controversy, gave back as good as he received. In one of these encoun ters he gives the following sketch of his opponent, Mr. Lincoln, which is amusing, and, in the absence of more authentic in formation respecting him, will probably seive to enlighten the public as to Mr. L’s previous history'. Mr. Douglas said. . “In the remarks which 1 have made upon this platform, and the position of Mr. Lincoln upon it. I mean nothing personal, disrespectful or unkind to that gentleman; I have known him for pearly twenty-five years. We had many points of sympathy when I first got acquainted with him. We were both comparatively boys; both strug gling with poverty in a strange town for our support —1. an humble school teacher in the town of Winchester, and he a flour ishing grocery keeper it. the town of Sa lem. [Laughter ] He was more success ful in occupation than 1, and hence became more fortunate in this world's goods. Mr. Lincoln is one of those peculiar men that performed with admirable skill in eve ry occupation he ever attempted. I made as good a school teacher as I could, and when a cabinet maker I made the best beadsieads and tables, but my old boss said I succeeded better in bureaus and secretaries than in any thing else. | Laugh ter.] But I believe that Mr. Lincoln was more successful in his business than I, for his business soon carried him directly*into the Legislature. There I met him in a little time, and I had a sympathy fur him because of the up-hill struggle we had in life. |Cheers and laughter.] He was then as good at telling an anecdote as now. He could beat any of the boys at wrestling, could outrun them at footrace, beat them pitching quoits and tossing a copper, and could win more liquor than all the boys put together, [laughter and cheers,] and the dignity and impartiality with which he presided at a horse-race or a fist fight, were the praise of everybody that was present and participated. [Renewed laugh ter ] Hence I bad a sympathy for him, because he was struggling with misfortune, and so was I. Mr. Lincoln served with me, or I with him, iir the Legislature of 1836, when we parted. He subsided or submerged for some years, and 1 lost sight of him. In 184% when Wilmot raised the Wilinot proviso tornado, Mr. Lincoln agai, turned up as a member of Congress I from Sangamon District. 1, being in the Senate of the United States, was called on to welcome him, then Without friend or companion. He then distinguished him self by his opposition to the Mexican war, taking the side of the common enemy in time of war against hia own country [Cheers and groans.| When he returned home from that Congress, he found thai the indignation of the people followed him everywhere, until he again retired to pri vate life, and was submerged until he was again forgotten by his friends. He ramc up again in 1854, in time to make tbe Abo lition Blackßepublican platform, In com- pany with Lovejoy, Giddings, Chase and Fred. Douglas, for the Republican party to stand upon. Trumbull, too was one ct our own contemporaries.” Sub-Soiling autl Deep Tillage. Various opinions are entertained bymen of science, in regard to the tillage of the soil, with reference to season, depth, Sec. As one, I have always been in favor of stirring the soil as deep as it is possible to do it uniformly and leave it in a condition to be thoroughly pulverized by the harrow or Jack Frost, before receiving tbe seed. Clayey soils need deeper tillage, as with sub-soiling, to permit the surface water to settle down or run off, than those of a gravely or loamy nature. Wherever the sub-soil is of that tenacity to retain water on its surface for any length of time after the frost is out of the ground, and the giound settled, the sub-soil should be bro ken to a sufficient depth to assist the sur face m becoming uniformly dry, that the plow might be started as soon as spring opens with her warm days and gentle breezes. I have lately been at work on a piece of land that formerly was 100 wet to pro duce good pasture, from the effects of sur face water, Sub-soil, a stiff gravelly clay. It was broken up in the fall of 1856, eight inches deep, with a sod plow, and sub-soil ed with a Hart field plow, ten inches below the bottom of the other furrow. This was something like work, yet tlie result has been more than satisfactory. The piece contained five acres and ninety rods. One i acre was plowed eight inches with a sod plow, and not sub-soiled. In 1857 the en tire piece was planted with corn. Through the season a marked difference was visible and that in favor ot sub-soiling. The corn came up quicker by about two days, was larger when hoed, and much better eared when harvested. It was full one-quarter better as per quantity and quality. In 1858 it was again planted in part with corn and potatoes, and in part sowed with barley; the result, as the year before. In 1859, three acres sown to oats and seeded, and two acres and-ninety rods in meadow.— Notwithstanding the frost in June, the grass was more than an average crop on the sub-soiled part, while on that plowed w[tli sod plow alono it was not an average crop. The oats showed again a dividing line—not as heavy, aiqr yielding as much seed per acre as thar s pait that had been sub-soiled. While working on this piece of ground, i March 23, 1860, with a train and wagon, I judged the part sub-soiled was dry enough for plowing, should such a thing Le deemed practicable, while the other was quite too wet, and water standing on it in Sfveral places. Men may preach that such plow ing will exhaust the soil in a few years; they may preach, but I shall follow my experience, which teaches me better, until “Convinced against my will,” I shall be “of tlie same opinion still.” Perhaps your readers may say I am* too set in my wav. Perhaps not. Experience is tlie best of teachers, in the spring of 1858, I sub soiled the half as a four acre lot to be planted with corn, of a loose, loa my. gravelly soil, with a gravelly sub-soil, ten inches below the sod furrow tvrned eight inches, and the result was visible to every passer-by through the entire season, and more marked at harvest, the ears being larger, better-filled, and yielding move than one-quarter more to the acre. In 1859, the field was sown in barley, wheat, oats, and peas, and a dividing line was again visible through the entire field. These fields were sub-soiled bat once. The gold of the soil lies deep—therefore, we must dig deep, plow deep, pulverize thoroughly, and in season; then wq shall realize our expectations. 11. A. Whittkmore. Fluvanna. N. Y. ‘6O, | Rural*fcew Yorker. Komaaiic Affair. A young lady, beautiful in person and attractive in manner, w'ho resided in the immediate vicinity of Boston, was sought in marriage some years ago by two men.— Olio of these was poor, and a mechanic.— The other was rich, and not a mechanic. The woman loved the former; the family of the woman liked the latter. As is the casein such affairs, the woman married to please tier friends- Having thus “sold herself,” she ought to have been miserable, but she was not. Her husband’s unaffected love subdued her heart, and his gold smoothed the rough places in the human path. Fortune, feeling that this couple were too happy, fnjwned, and the man’s riches took wings and used them in flight. Thereupon the husband wound up his bus iness, put his wife and children, of whom there were two, at a comfortable boarding house, and then departed for California in search of money, Some letters and some remittances arrived from him at first, then nothing came, and there was a blank of several yoarp. The wife thought herself deserted. The family, whose good opinion of the husband had not lately been so of ten published, tokl her that it was clearly a ease for a divorce. When she had been well aecnstorried to the sound of this un pleasaut word, the disconsolate wife was thrown into the society of tho mechanic level, now prosperous, and still unmarried. The memory of her early, real love cainc upon her, and she believed! with a secret 1 jov thn* !i<* had remained single for lift sake. This thought nourished her affec tion, and at last she obtained a divoice from her husband, who had deserted her, and remained absent beyond the time allowed by the statute. This accomplished, there was no barriei between her and the me chanic of her youth. She informed him that she was his forever, when he should choose to claim her hand. Her feelings could not have been pleasant to learn that, since his rejection by her and her marriage to another, the unromantic hewer ot wood had drowned his passion for her in the waves of time, and that at the time of her handsome offer lie no longer palpitated for her. In fact, Barkis was not willin’. Ae if all this were not embarrassing enough, who should turn up but the husband, who made his appearance in the form of a letter, announcing that he liadaccumulated a daz zling pile of wealth, that be was on his way home, and that she was to meet him in N. York. The letter also chid her for neglect in not writing to him for yearg, and it was clear that he had sent assurances of love and also material aid at intervals during his absence ; where these had gone no one knows. 1 lero, then was trouble. No hus band, no lover. The one she had divorced; the i ther had refused her. Taking coun sel with herself, she packed her trunk, see ing that her wardrobe was unexceptionable, and came to the metropolis. She met the coining man on his arrival, and told him the whole story as correctly as she, natur ally prejudiced in favor ot the defendant, could tell it. The husband scowled, growl ed, looked at the charming face and the becoming toilette, remembered California and its loneliness, and took her to his heart. A clergyman was summoned, a marriage was performed, and anew volume in their life's history was opened. Carrots, Let us remind our readers again of the value of carrots Two bushels of oats and one of Carrots, are better fool fora horse than three bushels of oats; and when used for light work the quantity of car rots may be increased and that of the oats diminished. With such food horses will enjoy good health and spiriis, loose hide and shining coat, and improved digestion. The usual method of feeding horses with oats neither giound nor crushed, is wrong ; oats fed whole are seldom thoroughly di gested ; being held in suspension with large amounts of water, the peristalic motion of the intestines cannot take hold of them, and thus we find in the dung of the horse whole oats, and large quantities of the starch of the oats, which the horse has fail ed to appropriate. This is never the case when carrots are fed with outs, for the pec tic acid of tho carrots has the power of gelatinizing the contents of the stomach, thus enabling the process of digestion to be more perfect. The value of carrots docs not consist altogether in the amount of nutriment they furnish, but in enabling the horses to appropriate a larger propor tion of’ nutriment contained in the hay and oats. The dung of the horse so fed pre sents np whole oats, but is homogeneous in its character, while he is sustained with less amonnt of grain and hay. The Bene plant has similar properties ; a thin slice of this plant thrown into a glass of water, renders it ropy and gelatin ous, and for this reason it is a specific for summer complaint for children. For fattening animals carrots are equal ly valuable, and for milch cows they sur pass any other food. When fed in mid winter the milk is equal in flavor to that produced fro.n clover in summer, while the butter made from the milk is finely colored and highly flavored. A thousand bushels of carrots are sometimes raised on an acre of land, and when we remember that their value when fed with, oats is equal to that of the oats themselves, of which fifty bushels is a fair crop per acre, we can readily sec Low profitable the car rot crop must prove to every farmer for his home consumption. By consulting our article on carrots in the series “Vegetable Garden,” (vol. xi. p. 221) the whole method of theircukure will be found clearly set forth.— Working Farmer. A Game of Euchre. A constable at Williamsport, Warien co., Ind., whilst paying a visit to a yonng lady living a few miles in the country, last week, proposed a game of euchre as the evening’s entertainment which of course was accepted by tlie young lady. When the cards were dealt, the lady proposed a bet of fifty dollars to wliieh the constable demurred. The lady protested that she would never play with a gentleman un less there was some stake up, bnt the gent still dcmnrred, when, as a compromise, the young lady proposed that they should play, and if she beat him he would marry tier, which the gallant constable eonldn’t do otherwise than accept. At it they went, and the lady proved to be the win ner. The constable soon recolleeted that he had some official business to attend to, aud left with a solemn promise to return “soon.” Hours flew by, but the constable forgot to return. In the morning, the young la dy, nothing; daunted, proceeded to town, presented herself before tbe Squire, with an application fora marriage license, which ’ of course the Squire refused, until evidence Terms—sl,so Always in Advance. was produced proving a bona fide agree ment, when it was at once issued. Hugging the license to her bosom; the lady proceeded at once to the father of the young Lothario, laying her distress before him, and demanding a fulfilment of the contract. The young gent was not come at-able. Nothing discouraged, and believ ing a constablo was all honor, anfl determ ined to have her stake, Bhe stuck td her future father-in-law for three days, without however, the young man coming to time —when a compromise was affected by paying the disconsolate lad} ttvo hundred and fifty dollars to fill the breach Thus ended the game. The question is who got euchered. Size of the liuniau Itace. Tim largest circlo of the terrestial globe of uniform temperature is tho equator. Those running parallel to this, as, forex ample, the tropics, polar circles, &c., di minish as they approach either pole. The stature of the human race,- especially that of men, likewise leSsfens, thofigh not to the same extent at all. from tile equa torial and tropical* regions toward tho poles. In ilie warm latitudes are found races of men of large dimensions dwindling in the cold regions of the high latitudes, so that it may be affirrned that men grow low in proportion as the latitude is high. But women are more uniform in size than men, being of nearly equal height in places wher.* men vary very much in size. In regions where males arc much taller than the average, the womOh contintie bf about the same medium dimensions. The fact, too, appears from historic mon uments, that the size of the race in gener al has not varied from the earliest ages, and that men and women are now of the same dimensions as they were hefbfe the period of Moses. This, we suppose, is amply corroborated by r the evidence af forded by the thousands of mummies, which have been reContly Unrolled after lying hidden for thirty aod forty centuries, porhaps, in the catacombs of Egypt. Burglary.—A bold anct stiefcessful at tempt at house-breaking was perpetrated in our town on Thursday night last. The storehouse of Mr. Wm. Bracewell waS for cibly entered through a rear window, and about $22 abstracted from the till: Suspicion, hacked by strong circum stantial evidence, attached to one George Taylor, whom it was thought proper to arrest. His arrest was promptly effected by offitcr Craig, in whose charge he was on his way for commitment, when, taking advantage of the thoughtlessness of said officer in releasing his grasp upon him while recovering his cane, accidentally dropped, he made good his escape, withstanding he was vigorously pursued. Said Taylor was a resident of this place, and is a young man about 18 years of age, Lawrcnccville Ncwu A Real RtUshd Os A Joke. —A man lately received twenty lashes well laid on. at the whipping-post, in an English town. The culprit, instead of bellowing wheh fte constable applied the lash, laughed im moderately, which made the angry officer lay on with harder force. On giving him the twentieth blow, the angry officer could stand no longer. “Well, here, mister,’* said the.offeuded officer, “I’ve done my duty, and I can lick you no more, but I’d jest like to know what it is that's so fan ny!” “Fnnnv!” roared the other, “why it’s excellent.
