"THE RING."
A Hard Fought Battle.
Williams "Defeats" Andrews in Nine Rounds for 8250 aMile.
Owiryj to some little misunderstanding between these two heroes of the "hempen ring," Patsey Andrew, for some weeks past, has been trying to get a match with Jacky Williams, which earnest endeavors terminated happily to the entire satisfaction of all "sports" concerned, by a meeting of the parties at the Terre Haute House, in this city, night before last, at an early hour of the evening, when all preliminaries were arranged, the fight to take place in the above named hotel, with no one present except the parties, seconds, referees, stakeholders and a f#w friends, who were permitted to enjoy this "strawberry festival" as arrange. It being agreed that the men should put in an appearance atpreceisely 11 o'clock P. M., and fight at "catch weights" for §250 a side. Thereupon the "necessary wherewith" was immediately put up in the hands of "Hen" Dealing, who was chosen to act in the capacity of stakeholder, and "Mickey" Usher putting up the "rocks" for "Patsey" while "Jackey" produced the "needful" on his part. A referee was soon agreed upon in the person of "Johnny" YVilkinsoif? "Barney Jenks" was chosen by "Jack" as second, and "Mickey" Usher "esquired Patsey" and
Looney" Gilbert was chosen timekeeper. THE MEN.
Patsey Andrews first saw light in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, about 23 years ago, stands 5ft. 10in., and pulls down 150 avoirdupois when in figlUing trim. Previous to the fight, he had, Tor a week or ten days, been training uuder the supervision of "Sammy" McDonald, his trainer, at Strawberry Hill, the scene of the late tragic(?) duel, where he remained up to the day of the fight, making that his headquarters. This was his
debut
All the preliminaries having been arranged, at precisely 11 o'clock Patsey "shied his castor" into the ring, amid the applause and admiration of his friends, who were decidedly in the majority. But a few moments passed until Jack's "slouch" fell within the "ropes" and in a short time the men squared for
THE FIOIIT.
Round 1. The gladiators faced each otlier for some moments, each watching for his chance. Jack seemed to play a waiting game—Patsey a little uneasy. Some sparring, each feeling his way and watching for an "opening." Jack made a pass with his left "mauler"—was stopped by Patsey, who "caught him" on the left cheek—drawing "the crimson." (First blood for Patsey.) Jack quickly rallied—a clinch followed, Patsey "going to grass" with Williamson top. (Betting still "2 to 1" on Patsey, with no takers.)
Round 2. Both men came up eagerly— eyeing eaeh other with a ferocity, which indicated that they meaut "business"— Jack lead out with right and left, doing but little execution. Patsey responded with a desperate rally, landing his right mauler squarely on Jack's "mug," which caused the "claret" to flow profusely. Both clinched and went down together.
Round 3. Both came up to the "scratch" in "time," Jack "smiling faintly." Mom sparring, Patsey using his arms and "maulers" likegreat piston rods, when he struck, and catching Williams under the left eye, leaviug a cataract there which threatened soon to clo«e "that peeper." Jack promptly returned the compliment with a "rib-roaster," which sent Patsey to his own corner, Jack deliberately walkiug to his own corner to have an application of the "sponge" made to his rapidly closing "optic."
Rotmd 4. Patsey cleverly *''got in" on Jack's damaged eye again with his right, which was nicely returned by one on Patsey's fifth rib, which produced a "deep sigh" from that representative of the "manly art." Rapid exchange—a clinch, and both were down.
Round 5. Williams prompt to the scratch Patsey coming up on call of "time," (saying to his second that he did not want to fight any longer, but that was no go with "Mickey" Usher, whose money was by this time getting inadaugerous condition.) Considerable sparring, Patsey striking wild, Jack "closing in" with a "right-hander," which immediately hatched a goose egg on Patsey's under jaw, knocking him off his "pins" and landing him in his own corner. (First knock-down for Williams.)
in
the "magic circle," and on the night of the fight, appeared in fine condition, not having an ounce of superfluous flesh and "stripped well," it being apparent to all that "Patsey" w.is in decidedly the best "trim" for the "sport," his condition being very creditable to his trainer.
Jack Williams was ushered into this "breathing world" at a very early period of his existence, about twenty-five years ago, somewhere in the State of Kentucky "scales" about 145 stands five feet eight inches. He is a "clever light weight." having taken his first lessons in the "manly art" from Tom Sayers, while sojourning in London a few years ago. He may, however, be donsidered like his opponent, a "novice" in the "noble sport," having engaged in but few encounters in the "fistic arena." Although he was not in as good condition as Patsey to enter the "hempen circle" and did not "strip" anything like as well yet, with the exception of being a little "beefy" his muscles were well knitted, his eye clear and his skin the personification of muscular health, and presented a spend id physical "make-up." The betting was "two to one" on Patsey, but Jack's courage soon showed that he was determined the "best man should win."
x* „T'
Round 6. Jack prompt to the ^cratch, smiling with confidence now of winning the battle. On time being called, Patsey walked slowly up to "position" to "take his gruel" looking exceedingly "groggy." Jack led off, planting another "rib-roaster" on the person of Patsey. (Claim of foul by Patsey's second, but not allowed by the referee.*j More sparring—Patsey landing a few more "stingers" iu the neighborhood of Jack's "curtained windows"—both "going to grass."
Round 7. Jack prompt to the call of time, his left "goggle" rapidly closing to the "light of day" and liis right hung in deep mourning. Patsey came up slowly, showing evident signs of severe punishment. This round was a repetition of the former—"give and take" being the order of the day—neither exhibiting any science—Patsey receiving his usual "rations" of "right and left" banders—while Jack's face began to resemble a photograph of a nice round of beefsteak—the round ending by both going to "mother earth" and seeking the "bottle."
Round 8. Both slow to the call of time. Jack having things about his own way, commenced to "push" the fighting, feinted with his left and struck out with his right, giving Patsey a "deadlier" on the body and escaping a return from Patsey 's ri^ht, who went down to avoid punishment.
Round 9, and last. Williams first to "toe the chalk," (betting now "10 to 1" on Jack.) After some delay, Patsey came staggering up with a slow step to receive his friendly punishment. Jack forces him to his corner—getting him in "chancery," and pumuieling him in a terrible manner—Patsey slipped away— some sparring, when he "let out" at Jack's closing "sky lights" with his left, which was nicely parried and receipted for by one uuder the right "optic," which sent him in a helpless condition to his corner. When time was called again, Patsey failed to cfl^e to the mark, whereupon, the sponge was tossed up from his corner, as a signal of his defeat. Fight lasting 27 minutes.
REMARKS.
This was a hard contested ring encounter and casts great crediton the pugilistic fame of both principals and their trainers, being conducted strictly on the rules of the •'English prize ring," and for the credit of the profession be it, said, the "best man won." A collection was taken upfortue vanquished gladiator, at the close of the fight, the "winner" giving ••?50. The men will take a benefit at the Theater Comique on Saturday night next, at the close of the performance, when they will both appear and take a "friend'y set to" with the gloves.

Ax INGENIUS RUSE.—In going our rounds yesterday afternoon in search of items we were surprised to observe one of our acquaintances, (who is a one horse polititian of considerable influence in certain circles) with his right arm in a sling. Knowing his reputation for cowardice we could not account for his arm being in a sling on account of any pugilistic mishaps. We ventured to ask him what ailed his arm. He confidentially informed us that nothing ailed his arm that it was only an ingenious device of hiS* own to prevent his right shoulder being dislocated by the handshaking, incident to a city election, from aspiring candidates.
MAN HURT BY THE CARS.—We hear that a man, whose name we could not learn, but who got aboard the E. & C. train in an intoxicated condition at Sullivan last evening, and in attempting to get off while the train was iu motion, was precipitated under the wheel, and had his head crushed in a shocking manner. He was properly cared tor, and hopes are entertained of his recovery. Our information is that no blame attaches itself to the railroad officers, but that the accident was owing entirely to his intoxicated condition.
WORTHILY COMMISSIONED.—Judge T. B. Long yesterday commissioned Col. Robt. Stewart as Bailiff" to the Vigo Criminal Circuit Court for a term of one year, under the provisions of the new Fee and Salary bill, which provides that such appointment be made by the Judges of the Criminal Courts. Bob has served his country in the dark hours of her need, and merits the appointment. May he fill the position as ably as he has served us on the field of battle, and the city will have reason to be proud of his services.
THE ALBINOS.--Dowling Hall was crowded to its utmost capacity last evening, by all classes of our society, from the bon-ton to the beggar, as is always the case with a minstrel entertainment in this city. The performance was novel and entertaining, but aside fr«m the incomparable McKee, the song and dance man, and the singing, it was no better than that given by the average troupes that perambulate the country.
GEORGE FI&NCIS TRAIN, the man of destiny, and who claims to "hold" in the palms of his hands" the destiny of the American nation, will be at Dowling Hall Saturday evening, when he will be pleased to see every lover of liberty and human equality, irrespective of sex or. color. People of Terre Haute turn out en masse to greet this great genius, the oracle of the liberties of mankind.
COMES TO GRIEF.—The "old hen" who run the California gift swindle in this city a few days a week or two since, and who found it too hot for her here, was arrested in Greencast^e on a charge of swindling, a few days since. She suspended operations and "woodbined." If she again comes to this city to establish the gift swindling business, why can't the authorities have her arrested

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY.
WASHINGTON, March 15. Senate.
Mr. Wilson introduced a bill to c-irry into effect the decision of the Supreme Court relating to bounties of soldiers enlisted between May 3J and July 22, 1861. Passed. The bill gives $100 bounty to honorably discharged soldiers enlisted between the dates named.
On motion of Mr. Trumbull, the House bills repealing duties on coul and salt were read a second time.
Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, moved reconsideration of the vote on the passage of the $100 bounty bill. He said he had been informed that the bill would involve the Government in an expenditure of eight millions. He then offered a resolution calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for instructions as to the actual amount of expense.
Mr. Wilson said he would not object to reconsideration. His information was, tiiat the number of soldiers entitled to bounty would be between 4,000 and 5,000, and the aggregate expense about $410,000. The failure of Congress to carry into effect the decisionof the Supreme Court occasioned general disappointment and complaint, and whether the aggregate was larger or smaller this legislation should pass.
Mr. Morrill's resolution prevailed without objection. The following additional bills were introduced:
By Mr. Hamlin, to provide forthe completion of the tympanum in the south wing of the Capitol building, and directing the Secretary of the Interior to contract for the execution of Mills' group of statuary commemorative of a late epoch in American history, and adapt the same to the tympanum in the northeast portico of the Capitol, and appropriating $10,000 for that purpose.
By Mr. Chandler, to define a gross of matches, and for other purposes, providing that a gross of matchesshall contain 14,400 matches, put in packages of 100, or some multiple thereof.
By Mr. Wilson, in relation to additional bounties,providing that the widow, children, or father and mother of any soldier who enlisted for a less period than one year, and who was killed or died in the service, shall be entitled to receive the same bounties.as have been provided by law, when the soldier enlisted for two years.
At one o'clock, Mr. Anthony's resolution to limit business and come to legislation on the South, came up, but was informally laid aside, and the appropriation bill for supplying deficiencies made the first business in order.
At 1:15 the Senate went into executive session and soon after adjourned. House.
On motion of Mr. Wood, it was resolved that the Committee on Foreign Affairs, when appointed, be requested to examine into and report at tl^pnext session of Congress, whether the Territory of Lower California would be a desirable acquisition to the United States and if so, with such recommendations looking to that objict as may seem that committee just and expedient with reference thereto.
Mr. Eldridge gave notice of his intention to introduce a bill for the suppression of Ku Klux in New Hampshire.
The Speaker said that the introduction of such a bill would be in orderonly when the gentleman's State was called.
Mr. Cox suqsequently asked whether New Hampshire was in the bill. Mr. Dawes replied that New York, as much as New Hampshire, was interested in this bill. Passed.
Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, gave no tice of his intention to introduce a bill to protect peaceable and loyal citizens of the United States in their lives and property, and asked that it be printed for the information of the House.
There were objections on the Democratic side of the House. Mr. Peters desired to introduce a resolution.
Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, objected. He would cousent to no other business than that he was instructed to bring before the House.
Mr. Randall asked whether it would be in order to have a dispatch read? Cries—What is it?
Mr. Kelley said to friends around him, it was about the New Hampshire election.
Mr. Butler. I will consent to reading that, if you will let me read another. Mr. Boggs asked to have a dispatch read, received by him, about the New Hampshire election.
Objections were made. Mr. Cox said it was customary to read telegrams during the war.
Mr. Morgan asked whether it would be in order to read a dispatch stating that the Democrats of New Hampshire have elected their candidate for Governor, their members of Congress, and a majority of both branches of the Legislature.
The Speaker replied that it could be done only by general consent. Objection was made on the Republican side.
Mr. Butler, of Massachussetts, inquired whether it would be in order to have read a telegram showing that Ku Klux in Mississippi last night murdered four men.
Mr. Garfield. And that is another Democratic victory. Mr. Eldridge. Theie were killed more than that number in New Hampshire yesderday.
Jdr. Butler, of Massachusetts, sent up his bill to protect loyal people of the United States in their lives and property.
Mr. Cox raised a point of order that a day's notice had not been given of the introduction of the bill.
The Speaker sustained the point. Mr. Peters offered the following resolution.
Resolved
That a select committee of
thirteen be appointed by the Speaker, whose duty shall be to inquire into the condition of the late insurrectionary States, so far as regards the execution of the laws and the safety of lives and property of citizens of the United States, and report the result of their investigations to the House in December
