eration of Mounted Rangers was ascertained to be a controlling necessity. The Republic of Texas also owes a large debt of gratitude to her Mounted Rangers, for valuable assistance in releasing her from the yoke of Mexican bondage. Taking all the evidence on record about such troops, we are constrained to admit their efficiency as adjuncts to regular armies, and in the belief that when Virginia does strike a blow at Federal usurpations she means it to be one that will tell for good, we may express the confident hope and wish of the people that Mounted Rangers may be allowed to share in the glory of the achievement. A fine corps of Rangers was organized in this city Saturday night, and the following officers elected: Col. J. Travis Rosser, Captain; H. Lindsey, First Lieutenant; J. M, Monteiro, Second Lieutenant; C Drewry, Third Lieutenant; A. Mitler, First Sergeant; A. A. Monteiro, Second Sergeant; A. O. Brummel, Third Sergeant; M. Conway, Fourth Sergeant; Dr. M. B. Carter, Surgeon.

ance of the ugly weather, the usual preliminaries were arranged, and the fight commenced. As we were not a spectator of this refined exhibition, we cannot enter into details; but we bear that the match was for $100 aside; that they fought twenty two rounds in thirty-five minutes, and that the Irishman was declared the victor. Indeed, it has been stated that the Englishman was a "used up" individual; in two words, badly whipped. This is all we have heard about the matter. We have since received a communication from a witness of the fight, who says it took place on Drewry's farm; that one of the principals was a "Plaster," and the other a "New York boy;" that they fought 26 rounds in 25 minutes, and in the last round the "New York boy" hit the "Plaster" between the "wind and water," and made him "go under like an eel." It is further stated that about 300 spectators were present. Who will say now that Richmond is behind the Northern cities in the great elements of civilization?
