Frightful Accident.

On Monday last the carriage of Mr.. William
Gamble, containing the two Messrs. Beers of
Richmond, was coming into town, and when
near the residence of Mrs. Warden the horses
took fright and ran off Nearly opposite the
pump, at Mr.. Bickles corner, the carriage was
upset and the horses got loose. The running
gear of the carriage was very much broken, and
the top completely smashed; yet, to the aston
ishment of every one who witnessed the occur
renee, the gentlemen inside escaped unhurt, ex-
cept a few trivial bruises. The negro driver was
thrown off when the upset occurred, and, &C
cording to his own account, the carriage made
summerset over him. His injuries are quite Sc
we're, but not dangerous. The horses ran into
team lower down the street, and but for the
strenuous exertions of several by-standers anoth-
er catastrophe would have occurred

BENTON in the Field.

Ex-senator Benton, one of the candidates for
Governor of Missouri, is stamping the State,
and takes occasion to say some rather severe
things about the Democracy. Having been o
jealous Democrat all his life, his opinions and
testimony in reference to the party are entitled
to much influence He denounces the Pierce
administration, the Cincinnati Convention, the
Platform, and almost everything connected with
the party; but nevertheless supports Buchanan
for the Presidency. As Buchanan approves all
that Benton denounces, this conclusion of the
latter is very inconsistent and remarkable, and
no wonder the organs at Washington accuse him
of insincerity.
There are three candidates for Governor of
Missouri in the field-Benton, Anti-Benton, or
Simon Pure Democrat, and American. The
Benton and Anti-Benton parties also have sepa-
rate electoral tickets for President although both
profess to support Buchanan. Under these cir
cumstances there can be little doubt that the
State will go for Fillmore.

Trial of Herbert.

The trial of P. 7. Herbert, member of Congress
from California, for killing Heating, is creating
a good deal of excitement in Washington City.
The first jury were unable to agree upon YER
dict, and the second trial is now in progress
The friends of the prisoner are making every
effort for his acquittsl, and on the other hand
the friends of Heating have employed Mr.. Pres
ton, of Baltimore, to assist in the prosecution
A number of Californians now in Washington
have published card stating that Herbert has
always borne good character. Their object is
to counteract reports which are unfavorable to
him

The revolution in California.

The proceedings of the Vigilance Committee
in San Francisco have almost grown to the Dig
nifty of revolution. At this distance from the
scene, with imperfect information, it is impossi-
BILE to come to satisfactory conclusion in regard
to the matter We dread everything approach
ing to the rule of the mob, and are slow to ex-
press approval of such proceedings. Many OF
the best known and most respectable citizens OF
San Francisco, however, have taken size WIN
the reyolutionists, including the Hon. Baille
Peyton, the Hon. William Duer, Judge Tracy,
and even Judge Shattuck of the Supreme Court
From the facts before US there appears to have
been no alternative but the course which has
been pursued, or o complete surrender OF every
political right and property and life, to the un-
principled men who for the most part had OBJ
tanned the management of affairs. By system
of frauds upon the ballot-box, hired ruffians had
succeeded in electing their employers to Office,
and public justice was utterly prostituted. The
"Ballot-box Suffers" used boxes ingeniously
constructed with false bottoms, so as to contain
fraudulent ballots, which were turned out in any
required number. 1t is said that three thousand
votes of this kind were counted at the last cleo
ton.
The Vigilance Committee, sustained by an
overwhelming majority of the people, have de-
termined to maintain their position until the
general election in September, as they are I'M
willing to restore to the hands of the present city
officers the powers of the government. Cover
nor Johnson had made some Intellectual efforts to
suppress the Committee; but being feebly sup
ported and denied the use of United States arms
by Gen. Wool, he has probably abandoned the
attempt.
The descent of the Committee from power
will be perilous 1t is very easy to get up o
popular excitement, but to restore law and order
is q more difficult work. The termination of
the affair is waited for on this side of the CONT
nent with great interest not unmingled with ap-
prehension.
Trade was at dead stand in San Francisco.
Nearly all the merchants were members of the
Committee, and the most of their time was de-
voted to their proceedings

The Four Races.

Sunday morning last persons belonging to
the four great divisions of the human family
happened to meet under one roof in the Pres
byterian Church in this place. The large ma
iority of the congregation belonged to the eau
casian race, and there was one genuine Native
American, one Asiatic, and sundry Africans
We doubt if there was ever such an assemblage
here before. The Asiatc was young native
of China, who came over with Mr.. John Points
lately returned from that country

Speaking i'm Richmond.

After the adjournment of the Wing State
Convention, at 10 o'clock Thursday night, sew
eral members were called upon to address g
crowd assembled in the Capitol Square. Mr.
Goggin, of Bedford, spoke with his usual ability
and was followed by Messrs. Magruder, of Abe
marie, Bell, of Augusta, and Davidson, of Rock
bridge, all of whom, says the Whig,made capital
speeches, and were loudly applauded through

Infnrmation Wanted.

Thomas Ginity, the son Of an Irishman in the
employ of Col. d. S. Young, near this place, left
home without permission some five weeks ago,
and has not been heard of since. He is about
fourteen years of age, of sprightly appearance
fair complexion, and has remarkably fine teeth
He is supposed to have gone in the direction Of
Buchanan or Lynchburg, and the papers pub
hshed in that quarter are requested to notice
the matter The youths absence causes great
anxiety to his parents, who are not able to adj
vertise in the usual way. Information address
ed to Col. Young will be thankfully received.

The whip Convention.

We publish this week the proceedings OF the
Wing Convention which met in kichmond on
Wednesday last. The Convention was respect
able in point of size. and eminently so on account
Of the character and talents of the gentlemen
composing it. Among them were several gentle
men of distinguished ability who have Deen IN
retirement for years past, but are now called
forth by the exigency of the times. Inc pro.
ceedings of the Convention were dignihed and
harmonious; and the sentiment in favor OF Fill
more was not only unanimous, but most en-
thusiastic.
1t will be observed that the Convention a
dopted measures to secure an active partlclpa
ton in the Presidential canvass, and also recon-
mended National Convention to be held IL
Baltimore, in September, to promote genera
reorganization of the party. We sincerely hope
that the proposed reorganization will be accom-
plished
The Democracy will now be driven 10
change of tactics with reference to the VIC
Line Wings" Their recent fullsome laudatioh'
appear to have had but little effect upon the
followers of Henry Clay. At present the policy
seems to be- persuade the Wings that the Rich
mond Convention was composed of Know No
things in disguise. This trick will impose upon
no one-certainly no one in this county. There
were seven delegates from Augusta, not one O
whom has any connection with the American
party, and nearly half of them have always beer
its determined opponents, never having voted
for an American candidate for any office The
trick will not succeed-the Wings have made
up their minds to vote and work for Fillmore.

DEsERT1NG HM.-A New York correspondent
of the Macon Telegraph, a Democratic organ,
confirms our opinion of the detection from the
Buchanan ranks and testiies to the fact that
Mr.. Fillmore's chances for the Presidency are
better than those of the former gentleman. The
writer says:
"When hear solid conservative Democrats
sneak against Mr. Buchanans platform, or refuse
to commit themselves to him, it looks doubtful
as to his carrying State North of Mason and
Dixon's line" -,
Shall the South waste her vote on such a
chance, and thereby give the election to Ere,

save the country. 1t is the only chance.-Gry'
