A Pueilistic Adventure.

Railway travelling has its jokes as well
as its peris, in Canada as. we'll as in the
States, where every train IS the stage oil
a comedy, and sometimes tragedy, es-
pecially on the Erie. An incident
which blended the farce and the tragedy,
in fact case of waking up the wrong
passenger with a vengeance, occurred
on the Grand Trunk night express west
lately. A Southern gentleman, accom-
panied by his wife, son, nurse, and three
or four daughters, was proceeding west
ward, and took berths for the
whole party on the sleeping car.
Himself and wife occupied berth
at one extremity of the car, while the
daughters and nurse we're compelled to
seek slumber fnot that they found it) at
the other end, the cars being so crowded
that two contiguous sections could not
be obtained. The eldest daughters, aged
eighteen and nine respectively, occupied
the lower berth, the nurse and her
charges the upper. Towards midnight
the nine.year old woke up, and went to
the drinking fountain for a drink of
water; returning she went to the left
hand berth instead of the right, when,
oh, horror what sight met her gaze
Her sister, as she supposed, was snoring
peacefully with her face near q mas
culine face, abundantly bearded. She
tottered to her sire and whispered the
horrible tidings In his ear. The sire
arose, the hot blood of Southern chivalry
boiling in his veins, and rushed to the
indicated berth. 1t was damnably true
the same hair, the same gray poplin
dress-there was no room left for doubt,
and be let the slumbering man have be-
tween the eyes, straight from the shout
der, blow from the injured fathers arm
which would have felled on OK.
The astonished man awoke, and
strove to defend himself from the
shower of blows, but the surprise and his
cramped position prevented him. The
lady, faithless viper, awoke, screamed
my husband" to the amusement Of the
pugilistio parent, who at once imagined
a secret marriage. And from the oppo-
site berth, the only original daughter
screamed papa" Tableau. The father
was covered with shame, and rendered am
pie apologies, which the assaulted at first
refused to accept, wishing for blood. At
last the matter was quieted. Next morn.
ing the parties met at breakfast at TO-
bourg, where the ladies' formed an ANAL

ATLANTA.

ATLANTA, GA, August l9.-The Re-
publican celebration, yesterday, closed
with a torch-light procession, between
ten and eleven o'clock. In the afternoon
a drunken and unruly negro was arrested
by two policemen, in front of the Ma
tional Hotel. The policemen were pro-
ceeding to the guard house, when mob
of negroes pursued and attempted a
rescue; the policemen resisted, and the
negroes collected, and using clubs, they
we're knocked down, and the prisoner
escaped. At the same time some person
in the mob gave the word to " fire" and
the negroes did so, wounding a police
man. The FIRE was returned by the po-
licemen, and discharges followed in
rapid succession. One negro was killed
and two wounded, but they rallied again
near the guard house, and again moved
forward to attack the police. By this
time, the whole police force and large
number Of citizens were on the ground,
prepared for the conflict when the ne
groes said that it was their intention to
protect the lawful authorities. They then
rapidly dispersed. At one time appre'
tensions Of riot were quite serious.
Gen. o. o. Howard, Commissioner Of
the Freedmen's Bureau, left here last

Tn. AFFAIR at waynssboro.

A gentleman In every way worthy o
condolences aud respect furnishes The
Nashville Union and Dispafeh repre-
sentation Of affairs in Wayne county, the
scene Of the recent disgraceful and I'M
provoked firing upon white citizens by Q
sheriff's posse;
He states that while at Clifton, a vii
lace u Wayne county, situated on the
TennaSsee river, on Saturday last, three
gentlemen from Waynesboro arrived IN
the village and reported substantially
that the negroes, some two or three hun
bred ia number, were drilling with
arms atthe Furnace as previously stated
by us. That party Of twelve or
fifteen masked horsemen rode TO the
Furnace and demonstrated against the
military maneuvers, and suggested TO
the negroes that they turn over their
arms to the proprietor Of the works
that they might be IN turn transferred
TO the State authorities, remarking at
the time that II armed persons were
allowed 10 march and countermarch
through the country that the direst
calamities may result from it. The
negroes being approached IN this mild
and pacific manner readily assented,
saving as they did so that they had been
adpised by white men to commence drill.
ling, that the militia we're to be called
out, and of course every man must be at
his post After this result. the horsemen
rode back to Waynesboro peaceably and
quiet
Arrived in the town they we're net by
a murderous volley Of musketry from
stockade near by the Waynesboro Jail,
fred BY the sheriff and his posse,
who during the absence of the horsemen
at the Furnace, had collected bis crowd.
The result of the volley was the wound
ing of one man seriously in the shoulder,
two others slightly, and the killing out
right of four horses. The horsemen re-
turned the FIRE, but it is thought without
effect, as their assailants were shielded
by the stockade. They then turned and
rode of, and soon after dispersed for
their homes.

White Militia.

"As far as we can learn" says the
Nashville Banner, of the 18Th, the
disposition of the Radical leaders is not
at present to muster in any negro troops.
In this case, over three-fourths of the
militia would be recruited from East
Tennessee, and the pecuniary benefit
thereby derived by that section OF the
State would be immense. The fierceness
of the East Tennessee members is mainly
attributable to such consideration
For our own part, we believe that the
mountain boosters will find their native
air much more heslthful than that of
either Middle or West Tennessee.
