The frequent and terrible accidents on
the railroads of this country have put in
motion new class of adventurous. When
ever traveller sets out upon journey by
favor Of his being dashed to pieces, the
agents Of the life insurance companies
keep the probabilities of such q catas-
trophe constantly before him. If the in
discreet pdte'Jdmnids does not provide for
disconsoate widow and large brood Of
hungry children, it is not for want Of ad-
monltion that the duration OF 4ife, ordina-
rily uncertain, is proverbially 80 upon Anne
rlcan railroads and steamboats,.
Upon many Of the leading lines Of rail-
roads there are now agents Of life insur-
ance societies, who wander from car to car,
like the venders of newspapers, psriodi-
calls, cakes, apples, vegetable ivory and
cough drops. 4 passenger. wearied with
travel, has probably stretched out his legs
and composed himself for q comfortable
nap, tlatterinS himself that there will be
no railroad massacres that day. Suddenly
the agent Of life insurance company taps
him on the shoulder, and presents for his
perusal q printed catalogue Of shocking
railroad accidents. This pleasant reading
he is then left to inwardly digest and en-
JOY at his leisure, and by the time his
Imagination is thoroughly aroused to a
sense OF his perilous condition, and when
he expects every moment to have his body
f1attened like q pancake, between the
heavy timbers of two passenger cars, the
insurance agent comes around with
every facility for effecting an immediate
insurance OF his life for that day, or
for that journey, at rates which
range from ten cents upward If
the passenger is very much frightened
he becomes reckless and cxtrayagant and
expends a dollar for the maintenance of
mis- bereaved family; but if he is naturally
penurious, and believes that his time to be
smashed has not arrived, he invests ten
cents, and is assured that when the fact of
his demolition is proven to the satisfaction
Of tho insurance company, comfortable
sum will be placed at the disposal Of his

stropoious darkey:
can occurrence at the depot, this after
noon, about o'clock, threatened for a
time to produce some confusion. number
of negroes, who were about returning home
on the train, had congregated at the depot.
difficulty occurred between the conductor
and negro, who, thinking injustice was
to be done him, fred into the crowd from
revolver, injuring a man. The white
negro and belabored him severely. Finally,
the Chief Of Police, Mr.. Barnard Campbell,
arrested him, and protected him from the
assaults of the mob. The offending negro
is now in jail. The occurrence has, how
ever, prcjudiced certain class Of the
white population against the whole body OF
colored people here. Thus far, however,
no other disturbances have occurred"

Labor frum Abroad.

A gentleman from the up-coantry, on
yesterday, inquired Of us what was the
prospect, or what would be tho mode, Of
obtaining foreign laborers for the cultiva-
tfon OF his lands. We are unable to give
him information, but we learn from our
Exchanges, especially from Virginia, some
experiments in that State have been very
successful This is the more gratifying
when we look back upon the conduct Of the
negroes since their day Of jubilee, and look
forward to what is likely to be their course
hereafter. Fortunately, in the foreign
labor which is now daily vending its way
to the South, We can find an element Of
labor to replace that which has been de-
stTesed, we fear forever. It cannot be
otherwise than subject Of anxiety, in the
minds Of those who look upon this immi-
grafton as a moans Of re-devcloping the
resources Of the South, to form some just
conclusion upon the quality Of the immi-
:grHIfts who have recently cast their for
tunes IN that State and in other States Of
ehe South. We find in the Danville Times
little insight into the probable chances
OF success to DO obtained in tho employ
ment OF foreign labor, as recorded in the
case Of planter Of Halifax County, yir
ginia.
Upon farm Of this gentleman are eight
Danes, several Of whom arc mechanics.
Their mechanical requirements, however
willing they may bo to work and 20 be in
structed, operate against their skill as
agriculturists, and hence the planter who

extent in the effort to discover how to adant
tsho knowledge that they do possess to tho
sort OF labor for which he designs them.
They arc represented, however, as willing
and quick to learn, and this fact, as evinc-
ing desire to earn their bread by consci-
entious labor, is happy change from the
inert, slothful and thriftless negro who
formerly titled the fields.
There -is an antagonism, it aopears.
already between tha foreigners and the
negroes, and the planter has wisely kept
them apart. These Danes have also proved
themse3ves to be honest and trustworthy,
and their employer is spared those depre-
stations and petty thefts that abound upon
plantations where the negro is the laboring

foreign labor seems to work successfully
and favorably.
The only apprehension that seems to be
telt, is as to the aptitude Of the immigrants
so our agricultural labor. We think there
aeed be none on that score. The Germans,
wherever they have settled in this country,
have proved to be successful farmers; and
whatever agricultural knowledge or skill
maybe wanting in other immigrants, they
viii soon become adopts under tho direc-
lions OF our own planters and farmers.
