SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING.
THURSDAY.

The third day was as springlike as its predecessors, and
the Heath again a scene of happy life and activity ; but as
the races did not commence until 2 :o'clock, other amuse-
ments were sought in the morning by sojourners in New-
market. Many owners of studs had parties to look at their
horses in the stable, while speculators were busy in and
about the rooms. Claire and Schism were well supported
for the Cesarewitch, and Predictor came into the market
at 35 to 1. Of the seven items on the card, each produced
a respectable field, the most interesting being a Produce
Stake, for 2-yr-olds, in which a new candidate for honours
made his firet appearance, and won very gallantly. An-
other highly-interesting race was a Half-mile Handicap, in
which Nutbush stood at the highest weight, got badly go at
the start, and won most cleverly. The day's sport con-
cluded at 5 o'clock, with a Royal Plate on the Beacon
Course, which the American horse Optimist won, after
making nearly all the running, and leaving two of his four
antagonists to walk in at their leisure.

Sweepstakes of 5 soya each ; for 2 •yr 'olds, Cat 101 b; 3-yr-
olds, Sst 81b; 4-yr•olds and upwards, 9st. The winner

Mr. Savile's Guilder, 4 yrs, 9st (Aldcroft) 3
The forowing also ran:—Discretion, Dr. Pusey, Balle-
rina, Broad Arrow, Reporter, Snake, and Antioch.
Betting-4 to 1 each agst Nunnery and the Anxiety
filly, 6 to 1 each agst Discretion and Guilder.
The flag was lowered to an admirable start. Nunnery,
being the first away, made the running at a good pace, fol-
lowed by Discretion, Dr. Pusey, with the others, lying in a
cluster two or three lengths in their wake. In this way
theyran to the end of the rails, where the Anxiety filly and
Guilder joined the leading horses, who came on nearly in a
line to half way up the distance, where Discretion and Dr.
Pusey were beaten, the Anxiety filly and Guilder joining
Nunnery. A fine race home ensued between three, which
ended in favour of Nunnery by a length, three lengths
separating the second and third, Antioch was a bad fourth,
Dr. Pusey. and Discretion, side by side, were the next two.
Reporter next, the others beaten off a long way; Snake
being last of all. The winner was claimed by Mr. Rayner.
The Rutland Stakes of 30 soya each, 20 ft, for 2-yr-olds ;
colts, Bst 71b; and fillies, Bst 31b. The winner of a sweep-
stakes of 200 soya, including the winner's own stake,

Mr. T. Valentine's Carisbrook, Sst 71b .. (G. Fordham) 3
Capt. Lane's Breechloader, Bst 71b (A. Edwards) 4
Betting—Even on Master Fenton, 5 to 2 agst Carisbrook,
and 4to 1 agst Exchequer. After the first ten or a dozen
strides the favourite went to the front and made tho running
at a fair pace, followed by Breechloader, Exchequer, and
Carisbrooko, in the order we have given them, but laying
wide of each other. Opposite the Old Duke's Stand Exche-
quer passed Breechloader and followed closely in the track
of the favourite, but without ever being able to reach him,
Master Fenton winning very cleverly, Carisbrook, who ran
by Breechloader half way up the distance, finished third,
Breechloader last.

Handicap Sweepstakes of 10 sous each, 5 ft if declared, &0.,
for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Last half of Ab. M. 17 subs,
three of whom pay 5 sous ft.
Mr. llawksley's Nutbush, 3 yrs, Sst 121 b (G. Fordham) 1

each agst Pardalote and Hesper, 8 to 1 agst Restes, 10 to 1
each agst Little Lady and Woman in Red, and 12 to 1 agst
Mayfield.
Some considerable delay occurred at the post through
several of the animals breaking away, among which East
Sheen, Mayfield, and Little Lady were conspicuous. At
last the patience of the spectators was rewarded by the flag
falling to an admirable start. The first to show in advance
was Fravola, who jumped away with a clear lead, which she
hell but for a brief period, for before 100 yards had been
traversed she was headed by Little Lady, who, with May-
field, Nutbush, Confidence, and Restes, in close attendance,
camp on with the running, Fravola, next the rails, heading
the rear division. In this way they ran to the brow of the
hill, where Nutbush, in company with Confidence, joined
the leaders, and half way down took a clear lead, Little Lady
going on third, with Mayfield lying next. The quartette
finishing a close and exciting race home, the favourite land-
ing his owner's colours by a neck, a head only separating
the second and third, and a like distance dividing the third
from the fourth, Fravola was fifth close up, East Sheen
sixth, and Woman in Red next.
First Year of the 14th Triennial Produce Stakes, of 10 sous
each; colts Bst 71b, fillies Bst 41b; the owner of the second

Betting-5 to 2 agst Hurricane, 3to 1 agst Old Calabar,
5 to 1 agst Lorelei, and 11 to 2 agst Vilette.
Vilette jumped away, with a slight advantage, waited
upon by o,d Calabar, Hurricane, and Paresseuse, with the
others in close attendance into the cords, when Old Calabar,
with Lorelei on the whip hand and the favourite closely
laid up, came on with the running, and won very easily by
a length and half, a head separating the second and third ;
the Emerald colt was fourth, the Melbourne colt fifth, and
Viletto sixth.
Handicap Plate of £5O, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. A,F.
Mr. W. Robertson's Boabdil, 3 yrs, sst 101 b (car Cat)

Betting-3 to 1 agst Boabdil, 3to 1 agst Knutsford, 6to
I each agst Cantab and Prince Imperial.
Cantab, with Solferino at his girths, jumped away with a
clear lead, closely attended by the favourite and Prince Im-
perial, with the others lying close up. On entering the dip
Boabdil rushed to tho front and took a decided lead, which
he held to the end, and won in a canter by two lengths ;
a bad third ; Cantab was fourth, and Cant at rico next, the
others beaten off a long way, the last of all being Miss
Emma.

Optimist made the running to the ditch, where ho was
pulled back, and the lead was taken up by Bevis, followed
by Dulcibella, Optimist, and Avalanche, Conundrum last.
In this way they ran into the new ground, where Bevis shot
his bolt, and the favourite once again carried his colours
to the front, and, with Dulcibella and Avalanche close up,
came on with a slight lead, which he increased on reaching
the brow of the hill, and won in a canter by two lengths,
Dulcibella awl Avalanche finishing a close race home for
second, which Lord Stamford's mare obtained by a head ;
the others were beaten off half a distance.

ABOLITION INEVITABLE.

, wo-

The most superficial observers of American affairs are
saying now that the beginning of the end of American
slavery has arrived. Betbm informed persons know that the
beginning of the end was on a certain day 30 years ago,
when a handful of citizens determined that slavery should
cease, and that the end itself is now near. The last week
has thrown new light upon various parts of the field of ob-
servation which none can long pretend not to see, or to in-
terpret in all ways but the right.

A most interesting question has been what the President
would do about Gen. Fremont's proclamation announcing
freedom to the slaves of rebel proprietors in Missouri. For
many days the Northern millions were keeping anxious
watch, dreading the recall of the popular general. The Pre-
sident was never .an Abolitionist; he had taken all possible
pains to make this understood before his election ; and he
has since given every possible evidence of his intention to
adhere to his construction of the Constitution, and to the
supposed opinion of the majority of the Northern citizens.
Nobody, therefore, could have been surprised if General
Fremont had boon removed as soon as a recall could reach
him. But the President took some days to consider—
t hat is, to inquire—and the feeling of public satisfac-
ticrs at what Fremont has done is so wide-spread, hearty,
and unmistakeable, that his position as General of the West
cam rot be assailed from Washington. He has nothing to
fear ,from that quarter ; and Mr. Lincoln declares with all
franks less that he will not undertake to control the policy
of any of the generals charged with the responsibility of
any important section of the war, because the vigour and
wisdom o f their action depend largely on their indepen-
dence in their own function. He believes Fremont's Pro-
clamation to transcend the scope of the new law ; and ho
has written to ;the General to say so, and to request him to
modify the term, of his manifesto. But he leaves him free
to conduct his can Ipaign in his own way, and to judge of
the right course to pursue as to the slaves as circumstances
arise. It would be easy to show why events must take a
particular turn in Missouri, whatever may be the military
conduct and fortunes of the respective parties; but it is
more important to turn to what is actually going forward
in parts remote from the field of war.
From the time when General Butler made himself the
exponent of the perplexity and indecision of the Govern-
ment and the people about the treatment of the negroes who
turned up on the march of the forces, there has been a grow-
ing conviction that the thing most needed was that all
parties should know one another's minds. Fremont's act
has set everybody saying this, and consulting how to
ar rive at a general understanding. To the President, above
all, it is necessary that the people should explain them-
selves; and they are bestirring themselves to do it. Steps
had bees taken before by far-sighted citizens to make tho
abolition of slavery the avowed object of the struggle, on
the ground that slavery was the cause of the sectional strife,
and that it could never again be assumed to be compatible
with republican institutions. Suddenly it appears that
almost everybody is of the same mind, and that it only re-
mains to settle what plan shall be proposed to Government,
and what organisation shall be formed, to communicate
with Government first, and to support its action afterwards.
The citizens aro in consultation in the towns, and meet-
ing for conference in country places ; and we shall soon be
seeing how they express themselves in laying open their
minds to the President and his Cabinet. One memorial
which lies before us is sufficiently clear in its terms to show
that there can be no going back—no settling down again
under the compromises of the constitution ; while the
businesslike character of the Northern mind appears in
singular contrast to the confusion of those persons on
both sides of the Atlantic, who fancy that negro eman-
cipation means servile war, massacre of whites, ruin of
plantations, and extinction of industry, instead of being
the only security against these calamities, which no other
means can avert.

The citizens thus combining and consulting perceived
that something decisive must be resolved on and announced
immediately. There are nearly 2,000 fugitive slaves at
Fortress Monroe, and many hundreds more in the camps
about Washington. The North Carolina slaves are throng-
ing to Fort Hatteras,. and General Fremont also has his
hands full. During the summer months and warm weather
these negroes have had work in the camps and on the de-
fences, but the cold weather is now at hand, and prepara-
tions must be made for housing them through the winter.
The most timid and even pro-slavery citizens declare that
the only possible course is to employ these negrocs as la-
bourers (as labourers are in the North) for the present what-
ever terms may be made with their owners for the future.
This led, some weeks ago, to the discussion of the terms
which would be practicable hereafter, and it then appeared
that there would probably be manifested, on any proper
summons, a prevalent willingness to supply the money
necessary for working the plantations of the South, on
condition of the freedom of the negroes. Staunch Aboli-
tionists, who would deny to all eternity the possibility
of property in man, and who would not pay a cent
for any number of human beings, are yet willing
to help in starting the method of free labour in
Southern fields. It is well understood that the slave-owners
will gain, in a pecuniary sense, by any peaceful and orderly
emancipation of their slaves. The value nominally adher-
ing to the slave practically resides in the land ; and the
market value of land increases to at least the nominal value
of the slaves upon it as soon as those slaves become free
labourers. Further, the wages of free labourers amount to
much less, as every slave-owner incessantly declares, than
the maintenance of the enslaved negro population on the
estate. Thus, emancipation is good for the fortunes of the
planters; but, as capital may be wanted during the inau-
guration of a new system, it is for Northern citizens to say
whether they will contribute this aid ; and it appears that
they Are ready and willing, as far as can as yet be ascer-
tained.
But how is it to be done ?
This is a question which events are 'answering every
day. Wherever the armies go, slavery becomes necessarily
extinct. The owners and overseers are absent; the slaves
ask for work and wages; there is no possibility of driving
them off now ; and there will be no possibility of rendering
them up to a new slavery hereafter. The rallying Points
are already numerous, and there will be more as naval expe-
ditions obtain a footing for the North all round the Southern
coasts. While this is going on at the circumference, the
inhabitants of the high land which,forms the central region
are perceiving their opportunity for abolishing slavery,
which they have desired to do for a long course of years,
and have proposed whenever they saw a chance of being
listened to. There are plenty of the old school of slave-
holders in the interior—men and women who regard slavery
as a curse, and who detest, as heartily as any Northern
people, the doctrine of the new school, that slavery can be
the basis of a republic in the 19th century. These are ways
in which emancipation will take place with or without the
sanction and good will of Government and people.
But neither Government nor people desire or choose that
such a process should be left to chance. They see that no
sagacity, no prudence, no zeal, no forbearance can be too great
for the occasion ; and under such a conviction the people at
least are advancing towards maturity of counsel, however it
may be with the Government. The view is, that the northern
millions should, through Congress or Cenvention, obtain
from the Executive a declaration of the personal freedom of
every individual within the bounds of the Republic, where-
ever the flag appears ; that wherever the flag advances tho
reorganisation of the Slave States should be effected, un-
less undertaken by the persons in residence, by the labour,
care, experience, and, if necessary, the money of the
Northern citizens, who have prosperously achieved the
abolition of slavery on their own soil. Those who under-
stand the existing organisation of estates in the South will
see that the proposed plan is simply a modification of that
which already exists. There are Northern men on almost
every plantation as managers. They are not favourable
specimens of anything but Northern capacity for manage-
ment; but they do prove that much. A better order of
agents would organise the labour on estates so as to pro-
duce more wealth than ever before, while extinguishing
the fatal social and political evil which has broken up the
Republic. Such an agency would be at once a protection to
whites and blacks during the early days of the now period.
" The South will not submit to be so dealt with," we
shall hear on every side. Of course the , new school of
slaveholders will not, except at a consequence of defeat in
war. It is a question whether a large proportion of the
older aristocracy will not hail such a deliverance from the
incubus of their lives. Here, however, occurs the consi-
deration of pressing actual importance—whether a distinc-
tion shall be made in the next proclamations between the
slaves of loyal citizens and rebels. The reply will probably
be that no such distinction should be made, for two rea-
sons at least—that the North hss had enough of a Southern
policy of masked batteries, of hypocrisy, and treachery,
such as this distinction would encourage ; and that there
can never be thorough loyalty to a democratic republic on
the part of slaveholders—slaveholders who cling to that
sort of " property" after such a quarrel as is now grounded
upon it.
Whatever may be the policy decided on, it is a
sign that the true cause of the struggle is coming
to the front when the men of the North are offering "all
they have at stake in the great crisis for the reorganisa-
tion, as the flag advances, of the States now convulsed by
treason, anarchy, and despotism"—the constitutional basis
of the new method being theg( equal legal lif erty which
affords the only guarantee of union, the only security of
industry and wealth, and the only possibility of peace."—
