BSs- The last few days have been quite
prolific Of ruaaways and disasters. On
Tuesday evening VIM. Owens, better
known as Bob" was driving Mr.. Richard
Rogers team, when they became unman-
ageable, and ran away, throwing him out
and considerably bruising him. .......On
Wednesday afternoon Miss Jenkins, 4
young woman residing on Mr.. Hopes old
farm j. miles northwest of this village,
was helping to haul some corn from the
field. The lines having dropped between
the horses, she stepped on the wagon
tongue to reach them, when the horses
started. running az a furious speed, kicking
and plunging at a fearful rate. Being ua-
able to get off, she rode on the tongue
about quarter Of a mile, when she was
kicked off and run over. Her collar bone
was broken, and she was otherwise very
seriously injured. ....As John Riley ,anoth-
er man. and two girls were returning from
Dodgcvil!e with a two horse team, at about
s o'clock on Wednesday evening, the
horses began to run, and the driver, it is
said, having INDUCED too freely of Dodge
vile whisky, was unable to control them.
They ran until they turned the wagon
over There was stove and many other
articles in the wagon, which. with the four
persons, were all thrown in pile, but
strange to say, the girls were unhurt.

The Negro, Captain Chostsr, at the Court
~ OF st. Peesrsharg.

~ OF St. PotersIssirg.
Mr.. EDIroR: Captain Chester, cap
tain in q negro regiment, in the volun-
teer service of the UnitediStates, fetedyby
the Russian Gear; the Emperor of sail
the Russias" dimes with him, and the
negro reviews the historic regiments
Preobnjensky, Ismailof, and Simeonof-
sky, regiments which put Peter the
Great and Catharine IL on their impe-
rial thrones. ~-."-.-s. -.--..-~
The representative of the United
States at the Court of st. Petersburg
communicates TO his Government the
fact that, having ascertained that the
Gear would receive the negro, he in his
representative character introduced
him.
Now, Chester cannot be regarded in
any sense as representative negro. He
is probably well educated, and has had
some of the savage taken out Of him, by
association with army officers. At all
events, it is no affair of ours whether this
particular negro is introduced to the
palace OF the Emperor, or the drawing
rooms of Her Majesty Queen Victoria,
or the Seraglio of the Sublime Porte.
1t is difficult to please all tastes, and
there is no use disputing about them
But because Chester enjoyed this great
dignity, is his race here in the South,
illiterate and semi-civilized, to have the
complete control of large portion of
this republic? Massed into conn pact po-
litical organizations, are they to shape the
policy and control tho destiny of this
country? Because q negro dimes with o
Russian Emperor, is his race to frame
the laws Of this country? Is the newly
emancipated bondsman to fetter the
limbs of Anglo Saxons? What else is it?
Of whom are our iuries composed? Here,
in Richland, nine of the twelve are un-
educated negroes. In Williamsburg, the
entire panel is composed of negroes. The
lives and fortunes of white men com
mitted to the tender mercies of negro
juries, the foreman even of whom can
not write his name. The offices of the
country are filled with negroes, or their
white auXiliaries, who enjoy Office by
suferance Of their black brethren whom
they invariably deceive and betray.
