Yesterday the first regular spring meeting took
place over this favorite track. The attendance
was not very large, in consequence of the grand
procession assembled to give welcome to James
K. Polk. The track was in fine condition, and
we were pleased to notice that the proprietors had
the ladies' apartment fitted up in the most delight
full manner
The race was one mile heats, for purse OF $780,
for which there were three entres-A. Lecomts d
Co.'S b. f. Nadir, w. J. Minors b. f. LIE De5utante
and ID. F. Kenner's oh. C. Harktoruard-Nadi,
being the favorite against the field
The first heat was dead between LIE Debutdnte
won by Nadir in ISL Harhforararq running second
The third heat was won by Harhforuard, who had
splendid start, in l:52l, which raised the spirits
Of the eldtakers considerably, but to the horror OF
every body Minors fly was distanced. Notwith-
standing the success of Kenner's colt, bets were
freely offered on Nadir's taking the money.
The fourth heat was beautiful. AT the start Ken
ners colt led at most terrific pace close followed
by the filly, whose jockey seemed inclined to hold
himself in readiness to shuttle for the money at the
last turn of the mile, which she did in the most
beautiful style, winning the fourth and last heat in
1:504, to the great delight Of the sharp un's.

The Senator from Texas has issued an address
to his constituents in reply to the charge made by
Mr.. Calhoun, that himself and Mr.. Benton had, in
the vote on the Oregon bill of last summer, de-
serted the cause and the interests of the South.
The address, thong strong in its facts and state
ments, is moderate in tone and temper; and the
general proposition which Mr.. Houston maintains,
viz: that Mr. CalhOun's on the slavery qlles-
ton has been detrimental to Southern interests is,
we think, fully made out and sustained. The as
sumption of the South Carolina Senator, in speak
ing for the whole South, instead of keeping as Mr..
Benton expressed it, sin his own bailiwick,'' is
justly rebuked. We are surprised that Senators
have so long put up with the dogmatsm and dis
unionist courses of Mr. Calhoun and can only
account for it by remembering his former eminent
services, and the unbounded reputation which be-
longs to him in some parts of the country.
Connected as we are with the South in all our
nearest and dearest interests bound by all the
ties that link with the country peculiarly their
own, we cannot but look with displeasure on the
attempt made to get up an agitation on the most
exciting of all subjects. Such an agitation must
end in discontinue or disunion. We must, when
the great question of slavery becomes the master
key of political parties, either yield in despair
determine independence and separate existence
from the North Our only object, consistent with
reason, can be to preserve the slave property we
possess; we can never hope, even if we wished it,,
to extend slavery to New Mexico or California
Whenever we become the propagandsis of slavery,
we leopard the rights we at present possess. Like
the dog In the fable by snaiehing at the shadow in
the water, we drop the substance which we once
firmly held. Oar safety is in silence our policy
" in letting well enough alone" Let not Southern
men be frightened from their propriety by the loud
declarations of passionate politicians, that course
of inaction is OF coWardice 1t is the course
of prudence the course OF wisdom the course of
a courage too confident in lis virtue TO be deferred
from what is RICH; by charges Of cowardice. The
just lives down tie sneers Of contempt itself
contemplate.
We are glad that one leading Southern man has
at last spoken out the feelings and opinions which
many entertain in regard to iir. Cahoun's conduct.
Gen. Houston's address sustains nay heightens bis
previous great reputation.

Mr. kendall On the italians.


There is on certairsubjects, set of stereotyped
phrases which float about over the surface OF So
ciety, picked up by almost every one, and in turn
rejected by nearly all as utterly worthless. Among
these are the common and superficial remarks in re-
gard to the national capacities and pecuarties of
the Italians. We sorry that Mr.. Kendall of the
Picayune is usiIg such stuff to fill up his letters from
Paris, and that instead of writing about what is
passing under his eyes, he gives us balderdash on
matters of which he cannot possibly know much if
anything. Mr. Kendall is residing in Paris, and if
he would take the trouble to observe infinitely and
describe accurately, he might furnish us with highly
valuable and interesting letters on the events trans
piring in the French capital But when he attempts
to tell about what is going on in Germany, and
especially in Italy, his observations are compare
lively worthless certainly, they have hitherto been
deporably trifng In his last letter he undertakes
to criticise the conduct of the Republican and Uni
tartan parties in Italy, and by sweeping sentences
pronounces the Italian people missrably deficient in
all the requisites for selfgovernment and ndepen-
dence. Now, Mr.. Kendall is, if he did but know
it, in the worst possible place for understanding
Italian politics. The French never have correctly
appreciated the feelings the views of the Italian
people, Whether Mr.. Kendall gather his opinions
iioil udHdy pOHtiCldIlS WHO lisp ulelr HnlCdl
opinions in the salons of the Chdussee d'Antin or
from the English sportsmen that lounge about
Meurices and read Galignani in the coffee houses,
he is equally untitled for coming to correct con-
clusion as to Italian capacity or Italian affairs.
French tourists who fly through the different cities
of Italy, taking passing glance at the paintings
and statues of the galleries of art, and listening in
the evening to few notes from the lips of opera
singers, are, when they declaim the Characters
tics Of the peninsula laughed at and ridiculed by
all intelligent observers. From such travellers as
these, Parisians get their ideas of Italy. They con-
sequently think the Italians nation of sight-show-
ers, hotel-keepers, and lazzaroni. Mr.. Kendall
to have got his ideas of Italy from such OBJ
servers; no wonder if he should think them inca
pable of selfgovernment>
The fact is there is nd eople in Europe so diff
cult for a foreigner to understand as the Italian.
Oppression has taught them to be silent and to sup
press their emotions. Hence, you must live long
and intimately among them in order TO learn their
real nature. Mr.. Kendall must leave Paris and put
off Partisan modes of thought before he can tell us
anything true about Italy. Above all, he must get
rid of the habit he has contracted of taking the
superficial for the profound, the appearance for the
reality, the mere expression of an idea for the
thought that lies beneath the form in which it is
enveloped.

DIR. RIDDELL's LEoTURE.-The fifth lecture Of
the series for the benefit of INDECENT females was
delivered at the Medical College last night, by Dr.
Riddell The subject was one of peculiar interest
at the present time, being the all-absorbing topic
| OF gold No one can treat this subject with more
ability and research than the lecturer, who gave
the audience the benefit of mass of facts and in.
formation. The specific gravity of gold, is by the
usual process of weighing in water ascertained to
be 1890. 1t is different from almost every other
metal in not entering into combination with any
substances excepting to very limited extent, and
is therefore generally found in nearly pure state
1t is so extremely malleable that single grain,
which is the 7OO0th part of pound may be made to
extend over surface of 400 square inches. 1t
may be heated to redness without melting, and is
unchanged by the common action of fire. By
means of the galvanic battery, or the compound
blow-pipe, it may not only be melted, but burned
and dispelled through the atmosphere in the form
of vapor. To show this, an experiment was made
with the hydro-oxygen bow-pipe) The best me-
thod Of filsng gold is in crucibles of black lead.
The alloys in which the metal is generally found
do not materially affect its malleabity and due
tty But anthony, hismuih, or tin, even in the
2O0Oth part, will render so brittle as to be unfit for
coming, until the foreign ingredients extracted.
They may be extracted by chemical means Alloyed
with silver it is most malleable, and with copper
next. The French and Mexican gold coins are
aIloyed with copper, the South American with
silver, and ours with copper and silver.
sample of gold was then shown by the lecturer,
which was brought from the mines $50 miles South
of the Mormon city, on the great Salt lake. Another
sample OF gold was from California, and was of a
purity of 1876 parts of gold in 1000 of ore. The
California gold, as comes from the mines, is worth
$l8 05 an ounce; our gold coinage is worth Sl9 63.
Gold, dissolved in aqua regia, forms chloride of
gold The lecturer then described the method of
separating gold from silver, which is the most diff
cult process.
The methods of assaying by the touch and by
specific gravity were explained. Experienced as
sayers can detect gold in an alloy where it exists
only in the 2O0Oth part. Some remarks We're then
made on the method of extracting gold from the
earth by smelling and washing, by which it appears
that the former method sometimes produces 81 times
as much as the latter.
The close of the lecture related to our California
mines, which DIR. Riddell considered would be the
most productive on record, though he deprecated
the effect upon nation resulting from vast influx
of the precious metals

DISASTROUS TORNADO. The Montgomery pa
pers mention rumors of sad disasters, produced by
heavy storm which passed south of that city en-
Wednesday week. Its power, says the Journal, was
but slightly felt at Montgomery, but about six miles
below, in the centre of its track, much damage &C.
Cured to buildings, fences, etc. At the plantation
of J. P. Taylor, in the prairies several buildings
were destroyed - among them, two valuable gin
houses. At Mount Meigs, we also learn its effects
were very severe the Academy there was COM
pletely prostrated and several of the pupils were
very badly injured, one fatally. The high fences
enclosing the park of Col Carter were destroyed,
and the herd of deer, several hundred head, scat
tered. Great damage was also done to the tele-
graph posts, trees, etc. From the great force and
extent of the Storm we fear accounts Of still greater
disasters.
