Cool, Si'iiiNd, near Petersburg, Va., Mirrh 22, 1S(7. Near the Cockade 1' Virginia, to with Petersburg, there lias, been during the last week one of the most spirited contests in the arena that lias been witnessed for many a long day. The "early bird" had been chal lenging hia neighbor in vain; for the booming of the cannon and the whirr of the Minio ball had almost stilled him into silence; but at hint the echo caught the sound, and it was answered shrill, clear, and defiant. Virginia challenged North Carolina, and after due pre liminaries the combatants met at Petersburg on the l!)th instant to settle their unanswered differences. Notwithstanding the unprece dented inclemency of the weather, a large crowd of sporting gentlemen assembled at Cool Hiniiig, which is situated near this go fthead city, to decide on the. respective merit. 4 of the historic, valiant warriors of the two states of Virginia and North Carolina. The number assembled was, I suppose, about five hundred, iuostly of the sporting fraternity, the exceedingly rainy weather and muddy ground preventing others from wit nessing the port. The pit was forty feet in diameter, and (which tended greatly to damage the fun) was out of doors; but of such great interest was the affair, large numbers were present each day. Virginia was most ably represented by Robert Allen, a magis trate of the city of Richmond, a great sports man, who, in the handling of birds, is not to be surpassed, and who, for reliable sport, may be thoroughly depended upon. North Caro lina was well represented by several gentle men who enjoy a sporting reputation, and who also displayed skill in the management and pitting of their cocks. Baltimore, Philadel phia, and even New York, were represented by members of this fraternity, and a large amount of money changed hands outside. The prize was on the "main," each and every light being 6100 per side. On Tuesday morning the contestants met, and the "show" took place, each party dis playing their birds to the greatest advantage. In this North Carolina took the victory. Thirty-one cocks aside were shown, and twenty a side matched those from the North State being liner in appearance, and heavier in every instance. The lightest bird shown Weighed four pounds four ounces, and the heaviest six pounds ten ounces. North Caro lina by this exhibition had the choice of the light; and they compelled Mr. Allen, of Rich mond, to fight a red cock against a North Carolina grey, both weighing four pounds and four ounces. This being the open ing light, a good deal of interest was excited, and the spectators pressed forward eager to witness it. Not much betting was yet in dulged in. The birds were both in good con dition, being neatly trimmed and heeled with two three-quarter gall's. They came up game, and after an excellent display of genuine pluck for seventeen minutes, Mr. Allen's cock won, his antagonist dying immediately. This ended the first day's proceedings. (SECOND DAY. The weather was again exceedingly in clement; but, nothing daunted, the parties appeared again upon the scene with their birds in line trim. As to-day the sport was to com mence in good earnest, Mr. Allen, of Rich mond, and Mr. James Falkin, of North Caro lina, were equipped for the pit. The birds were all game and some of them very tine looking. In the majority of cases the North Carolina cocks weighed most, the show giving them this precedence. The first fight Mr. Allen pitted a handsome Virginia bird, weighing four pounds eleven ounces, against Mr. Falkin's North Carolina bird, weighing four pounds twelve ounces. This light was very spirited, but lasted only forty seconds, Mr. Allen's cock winning, Falkin's being killed. The second fight soon took place, outside Vetting being quite brisk. A Virginia red cock, four pounds fourteen ounces, was now pitted against a North Carolina grey cock of five pounds. Fighting very spirited, both birds true game, lasting twenty-seven ininutes, when the North Carolina bird was declared the victor, his antagonist dying. A good deal of money here changed hands. The third fight was not of .long duration Mr. Allen now pitted a Virginia "pile,' weighing four pounds fourteen ounces against a 'live pounds North, Carolina black. In this Allen was victorious in one minute and ten seconds, the North Carolina bird being killed. The fourth encounter was between a Vir ginia "pile" of five pounds, and a North Caro lina bird of five pounds two ounces, lloth birds looked well and fought spiritedly for two minutes, when the Virginia bird killed its an tagonist, and was declared the winner. Betting dull. A Virginia black red, of five pounds two ounces, was now put against a North Caro lina .bird of five pounds four ounces, same color. The betting was very good, olds being given against the Virginia bird. The fight lasted fifteen minutes, North Carolina being the victor. Considerable sums changed hands. The closing fight of the day, being the sixth, now came oil". Mr. Allen pitted a "pile" of live pounds four ounces against a North Caro lina black grey of five pounds five ounces. This light was of short duration, but very - fierce, lasting only one and a half ininutes, Mr. Allen's bird being the victor. TIIIUD DAY. As usual, wet and exceedingly disagreeable weather, the ground being mud ankle-deep, and consequently difficult for the animals to light. The first contest was Mr. Allen's Pe tersburg red, five pounds six ounces, against Mr. Falkin's North Carolina black grey, live pounds seven ounces, which lasted live min utes, when Allen's ran clear out of the pit. and the North Carolina bird was declared the victor. The second ficht was between Allen's "pile," five pounds eight ounces, aud Falkin's black, five pounds ten ounces. These two birds looked beautiful, and excited a great deal of attention, betting being brisk. The light lasted seven minutes, when the North Caro lina bird was killed, and Allen's declared the victor. Allen's grey, five pounds ten ounces, wa? now pitted against Falkin's North Caro lina blue grey, five pounds eleven ounoes. This fight was very desperate, and lasted nine minutes, the North Carolina bird being the victor, Allen'B bird dying. This wag the third fight. For the fourth contost to-day a black grey Virginia, five pounds eleven ounces, was pitted against a North Carolina black red, five pounds thirteen ounoes. This fight opened well, and was very Bpirited for thirteen min utes, when the North Carolina ran and Vir ginia was declared the victor. Next Allen's black, five pounds twelve unceB, fought FaJJdn's blue-red, five pounds thirteen ounces. The beautiful appearance of these two birds engaged the attention of every body, and after a glorious fight of twenty seven minutes, the North Carolina bird killed bis antagonist. A good deal of money changed hands on this fight. The sixth and last fight of this day was between a Virginia white, live pounds thirteen ounces, and a North Carolina black, live pounds fifteen ounces. The betting became spirited, and the light was decided in four minutes, the Virginia bird being the victor his antagonist killed, after fighting a minute, with his throat cut. KOl'KTH AND LAST DAY. If anything this day was still more disagree able than any of the preceding days; alter nately tliere was snow, sleet,, anil rain, which, added to the miserable condition of the ground, rendered the amusement rather anything else but an amusement. Still the sport progressed, and it might be said with a greater vim anil more spirit than heretofore. The contest was opened by Mr. Allen's Virginia blue red, five pound fifteen ounces, being pitted against Falkin's North Carolina black red, six pounds. This light was spirited, lasting eleven minutes, when Allen's bird ran, and the North Carolina bird was declared the victor. In the second light Allen was still unsuccessful, lie placed a Petersburg red, six pounds, against a North Carolina grey, six pounds two ounces, and after lighting four minutes the Petersburg bird ran, North Carolina being the victor. The betting was still quite brisk, and a consider able sum changed hands. Again, in the third contest, ill-luck attended Allen. This time be pitted a Charlottesville grey bird, six pounds two ounces, against a JNortu Carolina bird, six pounds lour ounces. These were two powerful birds, and heavy bets were made 011 both sides. Both birds came to the scratch game, and fought obstinately for seventeen minutes, when Allen's Virginia fol lowed the example of the two preceding him, and ran. The fourth contest now excited intense in terest, in the hope that Allen would recover Ins lost prestige, on the part ot the lrgiinans, while the North Carolinians were jubilant over their success, lie now brought out a line- looking heavy bird, six pounds four ounces, and Falkin produced another splendid black, of same weight. The weights being equal, the betting was spirited on both sides, and large sums were staked. The birds, seeming to appreciate the hn- portance of the occasion, went to work vigor ously but guauledly, and alter a most spirited contest ot iorty minutes, both ani mals fell victims, the North Carolina bird being declared the victor. The throats of both were cut. In the fifth encounter Allen was more suc- ccsmui. lie now puied a large niacK red, six pounds, eight ounces, against a North Carolina black, six pouuda nine ounces. Both birds were in a beautiful condition, and the excite ment among the spectators becam intense. Large bets were made, and both parties seemed hopeful of victory. The birds went to work gallantly and fought without intermission for over one hour, whi n the throats of both were cut, aud Allen's was declared the victor, it having survived. Considerable sums again changed hands. The sixth fight was not of long duration. Allen pitted a white bird, six pounds eight ounces, against a North Carolina, six pounds nine ounces. They fought two minutes, when Allen's bird was declared victor, the North Carolina bird being killed. The seventh being the last fight of the main the only two matched birds left were pitted, being a Virginia blue red against a North Carolina black. This light lasted live minutes, the Virginia bird being killed. Here a large number of bets were settled and large amounts changed hands, both on the single light and on the main. This last decided the contest to be a "draw main," the North Carolinians seeming to bo pleased with the result of the last day's light ing, which redeemed their prowess, and they lelt the field in good spirits. Allen, on the part of Virginia, challenged them to fight in sixty days for ,1000 a side, or even SliljUO; but from this they backed down. In addition to the above three back fights took place, all of which Allen wou. All present were pleased with the sport, and the whole passed oil without even a quarrel. Ar. 1". lit raid. FRANCE. Execution of the Murderer jLemalrc Kxcltlng Scene. 1'aris Correspondence (10th) Loudon Times, Lemairc has been guillotined. It will be remembered that he had deliberately murdered a wouian whom bis lather was about to marry. In court he not only pleaded guilty, but gloried in his crime. lie staled that his "plan" was to murder b:e future Btep-morher aud her lamily, aud then to kill his lather: afterwards he meant to rob the house, and "faire la rioce" afrluiig French, phrase, the only equivalent to which is to "have Borne fun" with the money, and then surrender, lie told toe court tuat a hie of hard work would not suit him, aud he made a speech to the jury, pointing out that his was not a case lor extenuating circumstances, aud told the Court that his juuges would have a great deal to answer for if tney did not senteoce liim to death. The jury, for a wonder, brought in a verdict ol cruilty, without extenuating cir cunistiiiices, uud sentence of death was duly recorded against him. He refused to appeal to the Court of Cassation, and sltibbornly declined to be in any way a party to the efforts of his couiuel to obtain a commutation of punish ment from the Emperor's mercy. His advocate, however, used his utmost endeavors to save the hie of this precocious murderer; but the report of the medical men who examined him win con clusive as to the absence ol any indication ot anything like insanity, and it was deter mined to let the law take its course. For several days past the Place de la Koquette, where executions now take place, had been tLrongf d by that motley crowd which the guil lotine always brings together. Night alter night, In spite ol the sleet aud snow ami frost, thousands had met in the narrow denial street that leads to the diney little square. The per severance ct these amateurs ot the guillotine was rewarded the sinister-looking machine was beins put up by torchlight. Presently a large body on roops aud police were marched un. and cleared the narrow square, so that the crowd, driven into the back streets, was, after all, chtated of its treat to see the fall of the knife, liut some dilettanti, who occupied the windows of neighboring wine-shops, had a full viow of the ghastly scene. As day was breaking, about half-past five, the execu tioner and his staff made their appear ance on the platform, and immediately proceeded to tee that the machinery was in good working order, by twice letting the Knife fall. Meanwhile his attendants brought up a number ot pails of water, and a number of bun dles of straw, which they proceeded to make a litter of under HtirJ around the fatal machine. A little later a blncK, oue-hoise cpruig wagon was driven up. Whilst this was going on the crowd to the street were not pushing or fighting, but quietly singing, "La feninie a bnrbe," "rulluit pas qu'ii y ame," and other ditties ot tne same character. Lernaire was roused from bis sleep at about ball-past 6, and was told that the time had come. He braved tt out to the last he quietly remaikxd that he had been waking long enough. He underwent the fatal toilet, i. e the sha ving of the bair at the back of the bead, and tbe cuttiDg ofl ol the collar of his shirt, without wincing, bciore bis arms were pinioned he wag nskfd whether he should like to take mivthtn. Iletald heshoulrtlike to smoke a pipe to the end, ant he ufcenDed the ncallbld quietly puff ing away at a ohort. black clav pue. On the amlloid the executioner took it out of his modth, and removed a blouse which wns thrown over by" shoulders. He looked around uneoncern . y " !l? "ttendnnts then bound him to the plank. The eye-witness who supplies me with thece particulars felt unable to look on any lonpcr he turned hUhead a'.ido, brard a heavy thud, and when hp ventured to look up saw the executioner's assistants da-diiug great luicket Juls ot water over the platform. The eveainu papers fctnte that he consented toconles his suit, to the prhon chaplain, and to receive the lat sacraments, but nothiuar in hia attitude showed penitence lor the crime he had committed.
