The Travelers' Insurance Company, of Hart
ford Conn.,, was the first to successfully Introduce
In this country the practice OF Insurance against
Accidents, of whatever kind, whether they occur
in travelling, in hunting, fishing, sailing, riding,
skating, in the street, store, effce, or while work
ing in shops, mills, actories on the farm.
A General Accident Policy covers every posi-
bleform OF casually including the risk In travel
ing, also all forms of dslocatIons, broken bones,
ruptured tendons, sprains, conclusions, crushings,
bruises, cuts, stabs, gunshot wounds, poisoned
wounds, burns and scalds, freezing bites of dogs,
unprovoked assaults by burglars, robbers or murd-
erers, the action Of lightning or sun stroke, the
effects of explosions, chemicals, floods and earth
quakes, sufocation by drowning or choking.
This company has been in successful operation
since April LIST, 1864, and up April 1866, had
issued over JortyJfce thousand policies, and paid
over fourteen hundred l0sses-in addition to the
large sum of $92 500 realized to twenty nine
policy holders, for S5f2 received in premiums
GENERAL ACCIDENT POLICIES.
The best policy for every man, whether he trav
els much or little, is General Accident policy,
which insures against every possible form of casu
atty, at all times and places.
An annual premium of $40 or $I2 according to
occupation), will secure General Accident poli-
cy for 81, 000 of fatal accident, $40 per
| week during disability caused by accident mot
exceeding twenty six weeks Tor any one accident.)
| An annual premium of $50 or $50 will. like
manner, secure policy for $4,000, or $50 per
/ week compensation.
| Any other sum, from $500 to SIC, OOO at pro-
| portionate rates Where policies issued
against loss of life only, the rates are much lower
liberal discount on three and five year policies
| ONE MONTH GENERAL ACCIDENT POLL
| CIES.
| This company issues very convenient form of
One Month General Accident policies, at the rate
| of 81 per thousand-with SIS per week compensa-
ton tor each Thousand insured. These much
| better than insurance tickets Cor travellers and
others desiring short risks, they can be taken
| in any amount from $500 to 10000; they cover
| all accidents and each policy Ia registered, so
that the insurance is good IN case the policy is
lost or destroyed.
For mechanics and others who cannot easily
| spare the amount of an annual premium, but
would like to insure by the month, these short
time policies are Ftiust the thing To any per-
son who buys ak one month policies in any one
year, policy for half yeaLwiii be gwen with

Pnbiit iMcctim'g,

we publish this morning a report
of tho public meeting held in Winns-
boro on Monday last The nature of the
proceedings may bo best understood
hy an examination Of the resolutions
themselves. tt must be conceded that
in comparison with other meetings in
the Ssatc, this was temperate and
moderate, and we were relieved at the
emphatic and earnest manner in which
the chairman of the committee pro-
tested against any idea Of reputation
and recognised the just rcsponsia
biiity of debtors-bnt We think clear
ly that the tendency of this whole
movement is dangerous and that tic
highest security with which debtors
can be invested in view Of existing
constitutional impcdimcnts, consists in
the lorbcarancc, patience and spirit of
Cancellation and compromise, that
most indisputably has existed on the
part of creditors, and which wifi pro-
per encouragement could be elevated
into controlling public sentiment.
We think it due the opponcnts of
this movement, to state that tho last
regular resolution, the 9th, is tho only
one that received the entire approval
OF tho assembly. The Others were all
nnrosnJ
