WEDNESDAY MORNING, j..
afErArarE JOCKEY cGUB RAcEs.
Winter Meeting, 1s6I---FIrst Day.

Yesterday introduced not only the new year, but
the equine sports at the glorious old Metairie.
Though the weather was raw and chilly, and the
track so heavy as to forbid the hope of anything
exciting, there was large attendance unexpect-
edly large, everything considered.
There was little Or no excitement about the con-
tests on the programme; so our report need not
be long one.
The first race was the annual sweepstakes for
three year@olds at mile heats. The nominations
were Mr. kenner's Sid Story, Mr.. Foley's Lexing-
ton colt Lightning, Messrs. Broadnax & Cotril's
Albion flly SalHe Woodward, Gen. Wells Le-
comte flIy out of Edith, Mr.. Buford's Lexington
flly, and Capt Minors chestnut fy by Star Davis.
Of these only two came to the scratch-Sid Sto,7,
and Lightning. Sid had it all his own way; he
won the race handily in two heats in the not very
remarkable time of l:50a and ZOO. ,..w
The second race was for o subscription purse,
five Subscribers, at two mile heats. Only Gen.
Wells gray colt WelLs,sooa came up to the post,
and he walked over the track and took the money.

L1NA.--Thc Memphis Bulletin has the following
There was an incident occurred at the G6opera-
ton meeting here, which, taking into view its
pleasant influences, has not been given its due
prominence in the published proceedings. II oc-
curred in the first part of the speech of General
Brown, when at some all''- ion to secession, some
enthusiastic young Carolirian forgetting in his zeal
for his cherished native SOIL the construction of
discourtesy to the speaker that might be put upon
the Interruption, proposed three cheers for South
Brown responded, the gentleman says, three
cheers for SoutI Carolina and 50 say. In the
dark days of peril, in the troublous time of the
Revolution, that gallant State was with us, battling
heroically for independence and the Union, which
her Sumters, aud her Rutlcdges, and her Haynes
and her Marions helped to bald up. She has gone
out from among US now, but we hope it will not be
forever. We hope she will yet return to the sister
hood of States in the old homestead of her and OF
fathers. And too say 'three cheers foI
South Carolina!it
The audience, catching the tolerant and patriotic
spirit of the speaker, gave them with Uins thai
almost lifted the roof, and the speaking went OF
without further interruption.

SEDlTIoN AND REvoLuTIoN.--It is very well to
talk of confronting sedtion boldly, and of enrorc-
ing the law against those who would disturb the
public peace. No doubt tumult caused by a
local and temporary irritation ought to be suppress
ed with promptitude and vigor. * s. But woe to
the government which cannot distinguish between
a nation and mob! Woe to the government
which thinks that great, steady, a long -contin-
ued movement is to be stopped like street riot
This has been twice fatal to the great House
of Bourbon, TMacaulay.

Punch defends on "classcaln grounds the
alleged fact that woman is more obstinate than
a mule. If its reasons appear far-fetched it must
be remembered that they are imported from an
eient Rome, That mule is positive will be ad-
mitted by all; Of this muller, the latin word for
woman, is the proper comparative. Any one, by
careful meditation will see the point of the argu.
ment, and be able to judge of its soundness.

How HAS ALABAMA GoNE.-The Montgomery
Mail OF the 2ath says:

MAIL OF the Z3th says
Our extremely versatile friends of aye Confede-
racionh have been disporting themselves for some
days in the realms of imagination; and among tile
Pigments of their heated fancy, is the statement
that the c0operatonists have carried majority
of the delegates to the Convention of this State.
If fiction be poetic, in proportion to the perpen-
diculArity with which it impugns commonplace
fact, then our discursive neighbors may be con.
sidered to be poets for nothing political is meSe
fixed or unalterable than that the straightout Sc
cessonists have majority of the votes of tbs afore-
said Convention. But in addition to at'unpoeti-
cal fact, it may be stated that several of those
elected as nominal c0opcratonsts are in truth of
that veritable class Of hugaboos which has SO
often frightened our neghbors-honest, earnest
disunoniSts.
The long and short of the matter is, that Ala
hama is about to go out of the Union-and that
quickly. Alabama politics are yet puzzle to the
Confederation, but it will learn something oEBthem
by the end of the first week of the Convt, ions
session.
The Confederation says:
Col. John Elmore, Commissioner to the Republic
of South Carolina in a speech made before the
Convention assembled at Columbia, said that Ehe
immediate separate State Secessionists would eF ct
enough delegates as to be able to control the Con-
venon by forty majority, How stands the case
now? 1t looks verYmach like the immediate Sc
cessionists themselves will be controlled. Ala
bama is not going " act rashly nor precipitately,
but with decision and moderation.

A SHOCKING AocrDESr.-The Memphis Avalan


of Friday has the following:
We are again called upon to record a fatal acci,
dent from the mprudent use of fire arms. Thurs
day night as W. P. Heistand, a well-known butcher
at the south Memphis market,was returning home in
a wagon with his broherinaw Dr.. De Halfway,
loaded gun in the wagon became the object OF
possession by both parties. A friendly scuffe
ensued during which the weapon was accidentally
discharged the contents entering the mouth of the
doctor and passing up through his head, killing him
instantly. The doctor fell into the wagon and his
distracted brotber-in.law hastened for assistance,
hut all without avail. An inquest was held over
the remains by Esq. Mallory, and verdict of &C.
cidental shooting was rendered. De Hallway
leaves wife and several children to mourn his
loss.
