Another Outrage by Ku-Klux i'm Ten.
ncSsee.s

We learn from reliable authority that
on Tuesday night, daring Ku-Klux out
rage occurred i'm Williamson county.
About six or seven miles from the town of
Franklin live two Union men, named Levi
Thompson and William Fleming, both &C.
cupying the same house. At late hour,
their dwelling was attacked by large
gang Of the Ku-Klux, clad in regular uni
form. They came, evidently, to murder
the two men in question, and were only
prevented from carrying their design into
execution by the determined resistance of
their intended victims. The outlaws first
demanded admittance, which was denied
them. They then fired volley into the
door and window, fortunately without eff
feet. The two men inside with their fami-
lies were, of course, terribly alarmed, as
well they might be, for, looking out, they
discovered the dwelling surrounded by q
large number of masked and disguised
men, swearing, cursing and threatening in
the most fearful manner. They did not
lose their presence of mind, however, and
seiziilg every opportunity, fred upon the
ASSISTANTS, and are confident that they
wounded at last three Of them. The Ku-
Klux set fireto the outhouses. and burned
up about thhty barrels of corn, and other
property. They threw lighted balls of
cotton, saturated with coal oil and other in
fiammable substances, upon the roof of the
house, for the purpose Of setting 1t ON fire,
but in these efforts were baffled, as it strenu.
ously refused 70 ignite. The determined
resistance Of Thompson and Fleming final
" drove off the Ku-Klux; but they retired

Anecdotes of Mrs. Kemble.

Thefollowing anecdotes of Mrs Fanny
Kemble were told by Boston gentleman
at the Union Club the other evening: In
1851, Judge Henry Bishop, of Lennox, had
very vicious horse, which, among other
bad habits, had that of lying down with
his rider, kicking and biting in most
violent way. So the Judge sold his horse,
but not many days afterward he was sur
prised to see him standing at the hotel
door at Lenox, with side-saddle on his
back Having learned that Fanny Kem-
BILE was proposing to ride him, the Judge
felt it his duty to demonstrate with her.
So he waited until she came down, and
then informed her plainly as to the char
acteristics of the animal, and hoped she
would not think of mounting him.
"There is a. great deal Of difference be-
tween you and /, Mr.. Bishop" said the lady.
When you are on the horses back he
knows you are afraid of him, and when
am on his back he knows he is afraid of
me-" AT another time Mrs. Kemble was
passenger on train from Boston to New
York; ustrbehind~ -herv-was~vseAted an
elderly lady, who became greatly annoy ed
by the sparks and dust that came in
through the open window raised by Mrs.
X. In lady-like manner the old lady
closed the window, when the reader of
Shakespeare turned around and exclaimed
in such a startling emphasis as reused the
attention ofevery intlse oer, - Nbnnh,
if you do that again, I'll break the glass
Up went the window, and the old lady,
trembling with alright, took back seat.

ton to be held at Chicago on the 10Th

issued, for deliberation upon the national
questions and the selection of a stand
ard-bearer for the coming Presidential
campaign.

troll it,

They have revived the spirit of the re-

Those enemies of the country in the

unrepentant rebels in the South have per-
sistently opposed you through the war.
They discouraged enlistments, leaving
you unsupported i'm the most trying ext.

that they might diminish the sinews OF

hardships; as mobs the,, fought against
you in our streets, dive ting the troops

The following are said to be the facts re-
garding the duel in Washington, between
General Lawrence and Baron Kusscrow,
of the Prussian Legation:
At dinner party, few weeks ago, Mrs.
Lawrence was bantering the Baron about
young woman TO whom rumor says the
Baron is engaged to be married. During
their conversation the Baron took oflense,
and eXcitedly made a hasty and somewha {
imprudent rcply-for which, however, in
the course OF the evening he apologized.
y few days passed, and in a conversation
with an attache of the Prussian Legation,
relative to tho language at the party, Gen
eral Lawrence made a remark which
seriously reflected upon the character of
the Baron. The, attache tried to induce
the General to withdraw his offensive re-
mark; but he refused to withdraw it, and
emphasized it instead. The attachc then
told General Lawrence that he should feel
compelled 10 inform the Baron, who was
his personal friend. He did so, and the re-
suit was that the Baron challenged the
General. The meeting was at point near
Baltimore; distance, fifteen PAGES; signal,
TO fire by clap of the hand, to he given
by one of the seconds. Immediately after
the principals had taken their position,
and had signified that they were ready, the
signal was given. The Baron fired too
soon and too high for effect Then Gen
cral Lawrence coolly turned To the seconds,
and remarking that he presumed himself
too late, he turned and fired into stump.
The principals would have made another
essay, but the seconds intcrfered, and the
difference was settled on the spot 1t may
be remembered that General Lawrence
who Is son of Hon. William Beach Law
renee, of Newport, Rhode Island-lost his
arm at the time of Terry's capture of Fort
Fisher He then distinguished himself by
