NEW YORK, AUG. 29, Evening.
(Per the Hibernia.)

Confederate papers received at Morehead city
state that President Davis has decided, after a
consultation with the Governors of the Confe-
derate States, to call out 500,000 black troops, who
are to receive their freedom. and 50 acres of land at
the end of the war.

1 A large sloop of war of 10 guns, flying
the British flag, swept past the blockading
steamers at Wilmington, North Carolina. She
immediately afterwards hoisted the Confederate
flag and entered the port.
This is the fourth war vessel which has run the
same blockade at that port within the last six
weeks.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-LAST EVENING•

The near approach of the St. Leger, or any other great
event, necessarily draws together the majority of subscri-
bers to the Subscription Room ; and taking into considera-
tion the vat ions counter-attractions at this essentially sport-
ing period of the year, the attendance at llyde-park Corner
this afternoon was quite up to the average. The down-
ward tendency of Lord Clifden during the two previous
days served as another inducement, and on their assembling
in the room Lord St. Vincent's horse was put up at the
long odds of 20 to 1, at which figure he remained for some
considerable time, no one feeling inclined to come to the
rescue ; but just at the finish 100 to 6 was accepted about
him twice to a " pony." An impression, however, pre-
vailed that it was only an attempt to stay his downward
tendency ; and although he left off at the price quo'ed
below, his lordship was pronounced almost on all sides
"gone." The Ranger, who had been supported in the City
on Saturday and this morning,was again in immense force,
anything over 7 to 2 having been accepted, but at the close
layers would not increase those odds by a fractional part.
15 to 2 was booked several times about Avenger, one well-
known speculator having backed him to win £2,000 ; but
before the lawn was cleared 7 to 1 was the highest offer.
Golden Pledge met with some support at 9 to 1, but at half
a point more even the winner of the Ebor Handicap would
have had a host of friends. Borealis was frequently in-
quired after, and at 100 to 6 was supported to
money : while Blue Mantle, who " touched" those
odds once or twice, had some strong opposition from a well-
known bookmaker, who laid 20 to 1 several times, from
which Captain Lane's horse scarcely rallied during the
afternoon. Mogador, who was said to be such a wonder-
fully improved horse, had an equally wonderful demon-
stration made against him, 1,000 to 15 being offered. The
subjoined list of prices at the close will sufficiently indicate
the tone of the market.
