Republican Meetings. Tuesday night the
township conference will meet at the col
ored Baptist church. Thursday night a
mass meeting will be held at the same
place. AT this meeting the delegates will
be elected to the nominating convention,
which is to be held at Chester on Monday
next, the 4th of September. All are re-
quested to come to the meeting Thursday
night, and send the right men to the con-
vention, who will put men in the field who
will command respect and bring success to
the party, and not men who will, if put in
the field, not only affect the reputation of
the party, but defeat it.
Yesterday morning at s o'clock we took
the excursion train from Richmond to Pc
tersburg. This train was well filled with
all colors, and some of them looked as if a
few hours from the hot bricks would be of
great advantage to their health. On reach
ing the Cockadc city, the large crowd was
soon dispersed, some going one way and
some another, some to the house of God,
and some to the homes of their friends.
We took a carriage at hotel de Jarratt, and
went six miles into the rural district of
Chesterfield, to the house of our friend, Mr..
Yates, a gentleman of high standing.
We were gratified to see the corn looking
so fine. We were told that it would not
bring more than twenty-five cents bushel.
We arrived in Petersburg in the afternoon
in time to take the train for home, which
we reached safe. Nothing transpired dur
ing the day among the large crowd to cause
a blush or a sigh Of anguish.

bath schools yesterday good attendance

higher duty which claims my attention
more than politics--the work of Christ
which work, l am led to believe, is calling
for more men to push it forward.

F'igltfM Ruaa,oay.--A horse attached
TO small wagon, in which were seated
three persons, all colored, became frightened
this morning, on lower Broad street, in the
neighborhood of the new school-house, and
ran away down the hill at furious rate.
The terrific rattle of the wagon behind
him and the clashing of the gearing against
his heels, increased his fright, and he
plunged headlong down the street at the
imminent peril of those who happened to
be in the street, as well as to those who
were in the wagon.
Near the corner of Twentieth, Layina
White, colored lady, attempted to jump
out of the wagon, and in doing so, she was
thrown to the ground with great violence,
and received severe, though probably not
fatal injuries. She was picked up in an in
sensible condition, and taken to a house
near by, and properly attended to.
The horse. dashed ahead, the colored
driver and another colored woman MAIN
tanning their positions in the wagon. Be-
tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets,
the driver succeeded in running the horse
over the curbing and sidewalk against a
high board fence, thus ending the wild race.
The wagon was pretty badly wrecked, and
the horse was considerably cut and bruised
