The North and the South.

The agony is "Peytona' has beaten "Fash-
ion" and the South snaps its fingers at the North in
perfect paroxysm OF satisfaction and delight The
excitement which prevailed throughout the city yes
terday in relation to this "race was quite unparal-
leled. Probably the greatest concourse of people
ever seen IN the North that collected on the
course, and thousands and thousands in the
city were animated by an interest equally intense
We had arranged with some care an express from
the ground to the city, and were thus enabled to
publish the result OF the in advance of all other
sources OF intelligence. Our ''extra" went off like
lightning, and the excitement produced by the news
OF "Peytonas" victory may be much more easily
imagined than described
The South then has gained the day. II is great
triumph This enables the South to stand three
20 two against the North. And thus always does
the South come out victorious in fair, OPEN
straight, up-and-down fight Occasionally it is true,
the South has been cheated, duped, over-reached
by the thlmble-riggers of the North; but when the
chivalrlc and better elements of human nature get
fair play, the South is certain distance all compe-
ttors There is bone and muscle in the South
there Is blood, pure, healthy and proud blood-here
Is spirit, noble, bold, manly, impulsve spirit.
"Peytona' was bound to win, and we heartily
share in her triumph We have tasted of the luxu-
ry of leaving all rivalry behind and there is some
thing in the achievement of this gallant race-horse
akin to the glory and excellence of successful hui
man effort that attracts our admiration and wins r-
resistbly our regard.
The North has been licked, and licked deseryedly.
Never have been well whipped meaner set of men
than most of our clubs of Northern sportsmen--
Selfish-narrowm inded-ilberal- minds as
contracted as n VINEGAR cruat ond d,cnoc,t;ons &c
acid as its contents-have they not well-earned
sound drubbing! That they have, and verify they
have got 1t. Look, for instance, at the "Jocky
Club" of this city. What mean, sneaking con-
temptible, smal-soued little clique! Why, conquer
ing "Peytona" has more SOUL spirit, and noble
blood in her bounding heart than could be found in
aquarter of century in the miserable carcase of
this club. Contrast with these Northern Jockeys
the sportsmen of the South, and what falling off is
there The Southern men are manly fellows
Whatever is in them, be it good or bad, comes out
without any disguise. They are the true nobility of
the turf" And what they are IN the sports of the
held, that they also in the arena of politics and
In all departments ofnellectual gladiatorshp Sue
cess to the South-the gallant, chivarous, whole
souled, manly South! Health, strength and vigor,
and an hundred additional triumphs to "Peytona %
training" and everlasting laurels TO her skilful
rider!
And has not the North been well licked? Half
million OF dollars has been lost. That's the way to
reach the tender sensibiities of the Northern men,
AS the touched needle trembles to the pole, so do
their souls forever turn to that great nervous centre
OF sentiment and feeling-the pocket. That is the
only accessible avenue to their humanity, and in
thatt N
vengeance Half million of dollars! How
the poor creatures bleed! The shock vibrates
IN every nerve. 1t will take years of thimble-
rigging to make up the loss to many of our respesta-
BILE, honorable, LIBERAL upright, loafng Northern
Jockeys" And then, how freely the South will
spend its winnings! "Peytona" didn't fly round
the "Union Course" so fast as her liberal support
ers will dash through their tens" and "fifties,
till they reach the last dollar. The hotel-keepers-
the charlottesville professors of the biHe-and all
the practical philosophers who kindly reduce the
plethora of the votares of pleasure and the turf >
felcitating themselves on the victory of the
South. The Southern men, say they, will spend
their last cent here whilst the Northern and Eastern
men, if they had won, would have buttoned up their
pockets and "mizzled'
We advise the Southern men to keep the whip
hand OF their respectable brethren, now that they
have got it, Why should they not at once hold a
convention, and settle politics, religion, notification
the tariff, abolition, every thing, now that they have
got the cash and possess the vantage ground? BY
all means let them settle the affairs of the Metho
dist church, which 30 heavily burden the spirit o
poor Mr.. Clay. Men of the South, ponder this well
Are you not now bound to knock the Northern mer
everywhere into cooked hat, and in every field to
give them touch of "Peytona 70
The PUBLIC HEALTH-THE STREETs.-The new
city authorities must attend to the streets II the
citizens allow them to neglect the measures SO ne
cessary at this season Of the year for thoroughly
cleasing the city, they really deserve to suf-
fer Many of the streets and even Broadway, are in
ashockngly filthy condition, and the oathsome exha-
latDns quite sufficient to originate some terrible
epidemic. White street, Walker street, and the
other streets which cross Broadway in that region Of
the city, are loaded with all sorts of filth-the car
cases OF dead animals, and the offal and garbage OF
hundred kitchens. The whole city, in fact, from
Union Square to the Battery, requires thorough
cleansing. Let the Corporation see to this imme
dately New York possesses the means of being the
cleanest, heathiest, and most agreeable city in the
world and II II be not so, II is altogether owing tc
the regulations of the authorities. They may de-
pend upon it that we shall not permit them to negec
their duty in this amportant particular with impu
nifty.
HISTORICAL SoorETY.-A long debate on the no
menclature OF this wonderful countryside mos
amusing, philosophical, funny, original, quizzical
entertaining, spirited, that we have heard for years
took place last night at the meeting of the Hstori
cal Society. We shall give full report of il to
monow-look out for something rich and racy.
