RUNAWAY YEsrERD4Y. = Yesterday
evening, about the hour. Of four o'clock,
Mrs. Green and Miss Mary Finn were
coming into the city, riding in carriage
drawn by horses apparently very gentle.
All at once, while crossing the Charles
ton depot bridge, some part Of the We
hicle broke, which frightened the horses.
They at once dashed off at such rate
that placed the lives Of the parties in
eminent peril. The horses, with carriage
attached, started up Jefferson street, and
had not gone but short distance before
the carriage was upset, and the ladies
thrown out with the driver. The ladies
were badly bruised, but not dangerously
hurt. The negro driver was so badly in
jured that it was necessary to carry him
away in wagon. The extent Of his in
jaries could not at once be ascerlained.
The horses were then freed from the car
rage, and came up Jefferson street at
such rate that every one was apprehen-
sive Of more damage before the frightened
pegasus could be stopped. When near
the corner of Third and Jefferson, the
horses, with the tongue of the broken
carriage, ran into market wagon, threw
the little boy who was sitting on it to the
ground, and knocked off wheel, which
was sent spinning and dancing down the
pavement The steeds, breathing FIRE
from their nostrils, were suddenly brought
to stop, having collided with lamp
post.

LIFE INSURANCE. We wish to call par
ticular attention to the card of the
Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
Company which appears in this number
of our paper. Life insurance is becom-
ing so general, and its benefits sought
after by SO many of our people, that the
selection Of good company becomes o
matter Of paramount Importance. 1t il
folly to sly all companies are equally
good. That company whose expenses
rule lowest, and who exercise the
greatest care in the selection of its risks,
can certainly furnish insurance at less
cost than Que whose expenses rule higher,
aud when less care is taken in the selec.
ton of business. Our friends Carpenter
&IWhite are active, enterprising agents,
who will take pleasure in pointing out
the very decided advantages of their
company to all who may call at their
Office, As Madison street, Kit Williams

WHITTIER ARE WE DRIFTING?

"HAthEh AhE WI DkIFflNG?'
These people who have always
viewed with anxiety and alarm the
accession of military men to high
civil offices may well be startled as
they witness the proceedings of the
military regime which now has its
headquarters in the White House.
An ambitious General is our Presi-
dent, The Secretary of War is a
General, and the Secretary of the
Navy, in point of fact, is Admiral
Porter. The Presidents Secreta-
ries append to their signatures the
titles Of Brigadier General or Col
onel. Almost the first act of the
new administration was to make
certain changes in the military
DISTRICTS and our Washington adj
vices show, day after day, how
completely military affairs absorb
its attention. Regiments are being
consolidated, and regulations about
discipline and uniforms in the navy
are being issued thus early, as
though these things were of the first
importance The President has FOR
years past had 4 body-guard,
and the citizens of the capital
are as familiar as those of St.
Petersburg with the jingle eff spurs
and the clank of sabres. Does
all this signify nothingr Does
the difference between Washington
as it is and Washington as it was ten
years ago, Indicate only a change of
fashion and habit, asks the Baltf,
more Gazette, or does it mark the
decline of constitutional govern
ment and the decadence of republic
can institutions When the Long
Parliament set aside the ancient
constitution of England, who sup
posed that Cromwell would soon he
her absolute lord and master
When the National Assembly over
turned the throne of France, who
imagined that creatures like Marat
and Robespicrre would soon rule
over her, and shed the blood Of hel
best and nOblcst like water Greece
had her dcspOts in her time, ano
Rome when mistress of the world
was the slave of tyrants. Why
should we expect immunity from
the fate of all the free nations tina
have preceded us in the past three
thousand years Why should Their,
not be ten military districts her,
"a well as five? Public virtue an,
sleepless vigilance are all that cal
save this nation from losing all tina
is left of the government bequeatll
ed us by our ancestors, and tina
virtue and vigilance as yet are lyin
dormant.
