The Young Lecomtc- shcrrod.
If a turfman were seeking beautiful specimen,
the very crime de "a creme Of racing blood, he
wonld most assuredly pause before the noble Lee
comte colt, owned by Hon. ]. s. Hunter and his
son, s. ]. Hunter, Esq, which won the two-year
old stake, on Tuesday Of last week, in 1850 He is
a splendid, bright chestnut, Of fine size, and Of
that unmistakable contour which denotes the very
highest breeding and the most perfect condition.
In appearance, and, far as he has been tried by
performance, he has shown himself a most worthy
son Of q sire whose place is among the first in the
American turf roll, and Of a dam whose produce
have made her name almost a stopping point in the
pedigrees. His action is as elegant as it is good
his stride long, regular and steady. In his race the
other day, it seemed to that he simply took his
pace and kept 1t steadily through the mile, winning
against at least one two-year-old which possesses
very unusual turn Of speed. As far as an opinion
can be based on run Of a mile, in the two-year-
old form, we may safely say that Sherrod promises
to exhibit hereafter the staying as well as the
speedy quality Of his strain He certainly ran that
(ong) mile like q race-horse, and no one who saw
him at the time doubted his ability to repeat in the
same or less time. And it may be added that the
track, though fast on that day, was SO hard as to
make it very trying to horses feet.
II We chronicle the purchase and running Of Sher-
rod by the Messrs. Hunter as most favorable
omen in Southern turf matters, and as being, be-
sides, particularly credahla to the spirit and lber
atty OF the gentlemen mentioned. The price they
paid was q long one $500, we belieye-bnt that
amount, judiciously invested by discriminating
Judges Of the racchorse, in a colt is much more
apt to be speedily returned than $500 or $1,000.
We long to be able to record the purchase by Ala
bamians hereabouts Of at least o dozen brood
mares, and at least as many colts llies and year
lings Of the very best families, as proof of the
suscitation Of the turf in Alabama. If our wealthy
planters will at once proceed to breed and to foster
the turf, the Mobile and Montgomery courses will
soon furnish them markets, and Club will soon
spring up and be firmly established at Selma.
Judge Hunters fine colt, spoken of above, was
named by him last spring, in New Orleans, in COM
pliment to Mr.. Sherrod, of Lawrence county, one
Of the most genial and accomplished OF the younger
members of our present House of Representatives.

A BEAUTIFUL DISCLOSURE Eng issnae,a and the
H1epsessible Conflict. Abotionism will sometimes
make q man do some very mean things but, in our
Judgment, the very meanest thing it can make him
do (next to stealing slaves at honey is to be court
ing and inviting, if not begging foreign assistance
to excite and keep alive disturbances at home Yet
this would seem to be just what some of the Re-
publican leaders here have been doing when they
hired Col. Forbes, a foreigner to go to Kansas, in
order to keep up an irrepressible conflict ameng
our brethren and countrymen there. Nay, more
than this. Evidence is now coming out that this
Republican fghting-m Forbes was deputed by
the anti-slayery societies in London to head the
movement there and It follows, therefore, that his
Republican friends in giving him money and putting
him in commission acting in concert ,edt the
protested enemies Of our country IN foreign land.
OF course these allegations will be met by the
more inscriptions of the Republican journals as
usual with fiat denial, or with such equivocatons
and presentations as will be thought to break the
force Of so disgraceful fact; but it will be of no
avail. We have witness on the stand whose dis
interestedness and credibility have never to our
knowledge been impeached; and what he has to
say therefore, must be accepted true, until it is
disproved by authority equally respectable.
We allude to the London Morning Star, a journal
in quite as good standing in England as the New
York Tribune or the Albany Evening Journal here.
