The Sght betweeo Owen Ocogheghan, of this city, and Oon lOrtm, the Ohamplon of Oolondo Territory, came off early on Tataday momlng, the IBth Inst., at s place, called Oheeae Oreek ■boat throe mllei tron Sonth Amboy, N. J. This match hai, created some Interact In sporting clroles, In conseqnence of the high reputation as a boier, wbioh Oram had bronght.vith blm toMev York, In defeating Enooh Bavlafor the Ohamplonshlp of Uie Ring In Celorado Teirllory. Oeoghegban, at the time of ^«m'B arrival here on a Vbit from the far west, was looUng ont for a onslomor, his repeated ohallenges to parties lo this olty not hiring eUolted ua response Ukely to lead to business. Oram's AM en (he Newtbrk sparring stage was oonseqnantly looked brward to with much interest, as It was anpposed that some ap> proximate Judgment uf his pngUlatlo qnalitfea conid be formed Oram seeing him eet-to with, the glOTOS. Bis flntappearance was at JoeCobum's eihlbitloie at Hoztrt Hall, when he put on the gloTes with JnokDath. His perroimanee was not thought anything extraordinary, far although he showed great aatlvlty udwresUlng abilities, he Was hardly equal In aolenoe toOdId Jack. Some time afterwards, Oeoghegban, who was anxious for B light; challenged him, and after some paper warlkre, both par- ties met at the Oumn office, and at last draw up and signed aitloles to light for the sum of $350 a aide, leavtag It open to be lBoraa8edto$900aBldeonorbefon the day of fighting. Oram at flnt objected to fight In the neighborhood of New York, as he ras under the impratslon that be, being a perfect stranger, nuld not have a fair show, and dedued that if he won the toss ior choice of ground, he would name some locality near Pitts, burgh. Pa. Qeogbeghan assured him that he eonld rely on luv&g a fair, square show, and would freely oIto up aU claim to the stakes If It turned out otherwise. At this meet)ng, Oram manifested a trait In bis oharaoter highly honorable to him. He triskedtoputuplhewholeof the money at the time, but the gttnrpai^not being prepared Just then, offered to s^ke$IO, any foiqt; Hla' 9rit^ jitob was with a youog fellow with an un- Sronoonoabls Dqtoh name, for (300 a side, wl^oaa oonrage, how- 4tir;°obzad'eiit at his elbows before tbs day, and a forfeit was the ooh'soonsnee. He was next matched sgalnst the .olever Ed, Houhsy^ D;? Bock, bat the Interference of tho bluebottles prarentM their getting off to the appointed flghUng grouQd, bo a room light waa mntaally agreed upon. They met at a prlrate hoif^e'iiiOberryetnet, April IBth, 1801, and after flghtlDg 40 ruands In 01 minutes, the seconds of Touhey threw up the spougo forhlffi. Touhey had by far the beat soleoce, nailing his opponent hearlly on the face OTsry time ho rushed In, bot Owney's superiority of wieslllEg gained, him the victory, as he eould tbrowTouhey every round with violence oii the floor,and the repeated heavy &Us at last had their effect in entirely weakening bio. Since (bat time, althodgh he boa repeatedly challesged otherpuglllats in the city; yetln conscqnence of not fteing able to come to terms, he has been unable to got on a match until the preaoDttlme. . ■ m ' The place sdeoted for the fight waa aapotnear Oheeae creek, Middlesex Ooimty, N. J., about three mUes from South Amboy. The steamtng John Traoy- was chartered by Harry Hill; of the' Houston Street Exchango, to convey a select and limited number of gentlemen to the plaoe: It being given out that a fishing ex- clusion wss the nominal object of the trip, at $3 a head for the , oumcy. The rendezvous was the 01tyElotel,ln JsiMy Olty, and )y 3 o'olAOk, A. H., after a smart chase by the blue bottles, we ftund ounelvee on board with some fifty others, the minority belonging to the tapper strata of sodoty. After a long and tedl- cos voyage we found ourselves opposite tho appolnted spot, but unfortunately the tug had run on a sand-bar, and the passengers wera obliged to land in small boats; a proceas which oconplod sometime. On landing we met BamBavls and Dan Kerrigan, who infarmed us that the Bght had not commenced, nor was there any prospeot of Its coming off, as the Sheriff wss nresent, and hod read the atatnlo lawa of New Jersey against pme fighting, womlDg all' present—and especially the prlndpalji—of the con- seqnescee that would inevitably follow if the fight was penlsted in. Oram was willing to go to another spot, but Oeogbegan was determined t^ fight then and there.' The sheriff; Indeed.niad ar* rested Ban Kerrigan, who was cue of Orem's tralnera and sec- onds, and the latter only escaped by giving Um the slip, snd plunging into the thick woods around. Arriving at the spot we found about a thousand people assem- bled, the roughest crowd, without exception, we ever witnessed, Orem was sitting alone, cool and collected, and apparently Mendleas in the ring, his seconds having deserted htm, and his Mauds, if he had any, evidently too much afraid of the Uwless ohonoten present, to manifest openly their sympathy and feelings. Here ooonrnd the difflomey of getting seconds for Orem, as none wero willing to act for him. At lost Kit Bums was named, and although he openly declared that he had money bet on Ooogb^gan, Orem expressed his perfect wlUlngnoss to ac oept his aervlcas. The other seoond was found InBeddy, who boldly volunteered his aid, so that Oram might have a fair show, And. noW a second dlfllcnlty arose In a choice of a referee; Jim Irvlngi Harry Hill, and the representative of some newspaper being all named, but all refosed to act. At last a person named Ohortey Uocre, whom few knew, and who was evidently pro- foundly ignorant of the roles of the ring, or at the least tuid strong partisan feellnge, either volnnteend or was chosen to fill tbeamce. Nick Smith and Ollpper acted as Owney^ seconds The colors of Orem wera blue silk, with white spot snd white lf}ti,V, Qosgliteui'o green with red border, and embroider' ed harp in sMh comer. At twenty-five minutes past levea o'clock A. it., time wall called, and the men advanced to the torstoh, and shook hands, the OolOrado Ohomploa behi'g greeted with the filthiest epithets and hootings by the brutal crowd outside, while Qsoghegkn was warmly cheered. It was (dearly evideQt that the flgu could only have one termination, from the feeling monifeeted by the mob. Bound 1, As they stood fadng each other, Oram's superior height and ilze was evident; his form is splendidly devdoped, the musolea being very prominent. He was not In that fine cou bted the olicumstances under which the matoh was brought about, we will now proceed to give abrlof aketoh of the pugilistic performances of both men, commenolng with John Oohdie Obbk, or, as he Is generally termed. Con Omm, He was bom In 169S, In Carroll county, Ohio, and branght up at Fort Elnlay, laths sanie Steto, until ha had attained to man's Bitete. Bis father, who was a blacksmith, brought up bis son to the same occupation, and taught him how t(> t>ecome a sclon- Ufic wrestler, hebelng one of the very flnt. artiste In that line In his own native State of Uarylond. Having served his time to the bushtessihe had acquired such great prowess In the wrestling art, that ha atortsd on a tour throagfaoat tho West Bogiging In motebcs everywhere he went, for from 130 to (300 a dde, generally ocmlng off suocessfyiL tip to this time, and evsi dnce,.the present chaieplen of Oolondo made it his doctrine to Unch, taste, or handle not, either spirituous or molt liquors, or ass tobacco In any shone orform. For three eoneraUons his an- Doteisbava, with slight exceptions, followed up this course ef life. After traveUing five years, he fetehed up in Denver Olty, Ciolorado Tenltoty, where be started in the business of a black- smith, and got along lo well, that in a short time he was enabled [0 employ qnito a number of "Jouis," and earned money very kst. He epent most of his leisure time in the BoekyHountains, bnllklo hunting and shooting game, living pretty much like s ffestom pioneer, camping out and roughing It generally.

Of Con Orem wo can only say that ho proved himself as game a mon as ever entered the ring; a fine, fair, two-handed fighter, with extraordinary wrestling abilities, and .remarkably quick on bis feet It reqnired no ordinary amonht of moral as well as ; ihyslcal courage for « abranger'llke him to enter tbo ring In the I ace of such malignant hoatillty as the vlUalnoua crowd around the ring manifested towards bim, but throughout he displaced the greatest coolness and command of temper.

The Issue was predetermined, 11. Oeoghegan's left eye exhlblled nnmlatakable evidences of Orem's visitations. Some time was spent In sparring, to gsln a little wind: Orem remarking, "Then's no use betngln ^hurry, we have aU the day before us." Owney replied, "Unless we do different to this, we shall flght until dark." The expnaaiens of the one-sided crowd wera cUsgracetal and derisive, and by no moons calculated to have an inspiriting effect on the Colorado stranger, but he aeemed to treat them 'With the contempt they deserved.
