Attempt to Blow Up a Republican Meet ing. Savannah, April 5. The Republi can meeting at Valdosta, Ga., yesterday, was broken up by a band of liegulators or Ku Klux Kalu. Powder was placed under the building in which Dr. J. W. Cluff, the Republican candidate for Con gress, was to speak. Murder of a Radical-Supposed by the Kuk-Kluk. The Columbus papers contain all the particulars of the assassination of George W. Ashburn, with the testimony given by a number of. witnesses before the Cor oner's inquest. Nothing is known of the identity ol the parties. All that is testi fied to is that a body of men from 25 to 50 in number, all disguised, surrounded the negro boarding house where Ashburn is ia tllis citJ where he has made a pro was lodain"-. hmkft mn hi donr niter per representation to Gen. Sheppard. In his refusal to open it, when a number ofjtue,r fil shots were fired bv a portion of the par- ty, three of which took effect, one in the forehead, of which he instantly died, one in the natez, and the third in the leg. None of the witnesses could identify any of the number engaged in the transaction. The press of Colnmbus repudiate the idea that any respectable man in Columbus had any connection with it, and intimate that Ashburn fell at the hands of enemies in his own party. The Mayor has offered a' reward of 500 for the discovery of thc murderers. TENNESSEE. Kuk-Kluk Outrage in Maury County. Nashville, April 3. Last Wednes day an ex-Federal soldier named Graham, well-known in Nashville, was driven out of Mount Pleasant County, Tenn., by a Kuk-Klux mob. He had gone to the place with a view of securing employ- menf as a Office he teacher. While at the Post- was surrounded by a "au of 15 or 20 armed Rebels, who demanded to know where he was from, and what was his business. He politely and frauk ly answered the questions, when he was told that they had determined that no d d Yankee who had fought against thc South duriug thc war should live in Mount Pleasant, aud he must, on pain of death, leave the place within five minutes. He was followed three miles from town, and cursed, tantalized, and repeatedly threatened with instant death. The mob was headed by Mixon, the town, consta ble, who claimed to have 90 men under his commanded, who would swear that no Radical Yankees should settle within his lines. Mr. Graham returned to this city yesterday. Outrago by the Kuk-Kluk Upon a Peacc - able Citizen. From The Nashville Press and Times. A man named Pat. Haney, living near Waverley, on thc Nashville and North western Railroad, in the early part of the Rebellion, was persecuted for his Union sentiments so much that he had to fly from his home in thc dead of night, and walk barefooted all the way to Nashville. He remained here in the Government employ until everything appeared quiet and safe, when he took his family, out again to his little farm to pursue his old life of rural industry, as be foudly hop cd, in peace. But his Unionism was not forgotten ; thc services, hc rendered thc Government in his humble way were not ed down against him. His patriotism was remembered with feelings of hate and a desire to punish. The hatchet was not buried. Some time ago a mysterious document was left at his house by a troupe of masked cavplicrs. The document bore a cross-bone auda death's head, aud other mortuary hieroglyphics, aud contained a poremptory notice to leave.

We expected as much from the blood thirsty articles in that atrocious Rebel sheet. Now what will the inilitrry au thorities do iu this case? We have full confidence in Gen. Sheppard, and hope that he will speedily investigate the mat ter, and bring the guilty party to imme diate punishment by a military commis sion. If turned over to the civil author ities, escape from proper puuishment may be considered a ioregone conclusion. Mr. Allen A. Williams, colored regis ter, informs us that he was taken out by a portion of the Kuk-Kulx KIan of Tus caloosa a few days ago, who outraged his person in an infamous manner. He bears numerous marks of their treatment and ht the Kuk-Klux left several of their sheets. Hold on, Mr. Devil. In the early days of Indiana thc capital was Gorydou, and the annual session of thc General Assembly brought together about as wild a set of wags as could be found in the State, who had to rely on their own resources for amusement, as there were but few theatres, concerts or shows. The lovers-of mischief had established a mock Masonic lodge, into "which they would entice such as wcre a little green, aud take them through a variety of ridi culous ceremonies, to the infinite amuse ment of the spectators. On one of these occasions, it beUig un derstood that a good natured, athletic young man, about half simpleton, was to be initiated, the room was crowded ; and Judge Grace consented to take the role of Devil a character in which he was pe culiarly happy. To make thc service more impressive, he had put on a false face and a large paper cap, surmounted with horns, and with some chains in his hand, placed himself behind a screen. After taking the candidate through a variety of ceremonies, he was brought to a halt before a screen, and told that he had to confess all the crimes he had com mitted during his whole life. The can didate confessed some trivia! offenses, and declared that he could recollect no more. At tffis the Judge came out of his hid. ing place, and groaned aud shook his chains. Thc frightened candidate relat ed some other small matters, and declar ed that he had disclosed all the crimes that he had committed. At this the groans of the pretended devil became fu rious ; the chains rattled, and the shook his horns in the face of the territied can didate, who, starting back in alarm, cried out : "H-h-hold on, M-mister Devil! I-if I must tell you, I I did Zeiss J-J-JuJyc Grass' tr if e a covjtlc of times !" The.groans ceased, and thc devil dis appeared. Influences of Newspapers on Children. A school teacher who had enjoyed the benefit of a long practice of his profes sion, and had watched closely the influ ence of ucwspiipurs upon the minds of a family of children, states as thc results of his observation that, without exception, thoso scholars of both sexes and all ages who have access to newspapers at home, when compared with those who arc not, arc: ; - 1. Better readers, excellent in pronun ciation, and consequently read more un dcrstaudiugly. , 2. They arc better spellers, and define words with ease and accuracy. 3.

A Schoolmaster, endeavoring to in- struct one of hid scholars on tho naturo " I'll Wait Till it Runs By." Thousands of years ago a story waa told of stupid traveler, who, on coming to a river, sat down uppn the bank, eaying, " I'll wait till it runs by." A thousand times since people haveughed at the simpleton, priding themselves on their own great wisdom. And yet tens of thou sands of times have these people, in re fcrence to the general affairs of life, imi tated the lazy ignorance of the fool, and waited for the river to ruu by. How often do parents, for example, when they witness exhibitions of anger, falsehood and disobedience in their chil dren, shut their cyes willfully to the con sequence of letting the evil go uncor rected, and say to themselves, ' He will outgrow it." What is this but waiting for the river to run by ? The first lessor which a child learns should be that of discipline. No man can succeed in life' or win the esteem of his neighbors, or deserve the approbation of his own con science, who gives away to petulence, duplicity, or other vices; and it is much, easier to check these natural infirmities in youth, rather than in age,-as it is to cross a river near the fountain head in stead of where it widens into an estuary of the sea. The parent who hopes that: such vices will cure themselves, waits in vain for the rivr to run by. A merchant finds his trade declining", a mechanic his busiuess falling off, it lawyer his clients leaving htm, a doctor his practice ceasing; but instead of going, to work resolutely to discover thc cause ' and rectify the error, he sits down, folds his arms, and says, "Luck will turn some day." Does such a man deserve to succeed? Life is a battle, in which vic tory is with him who fights the bravest, perseveres the longest, and brings the most ability to bear upon the campaign: When the British marched on Baltimore, did our fathers lie in their beds and trust -to chance to save them? No! they went boldly forth to meet the enemy, and the God of battles rewarded them with suc cess. So ia the pursuit of life, he tri umphs who deserves it most. Wetlth and fame are the prizes of those who struggle hardest for them. The only way is to pluuge boldly into the current of adverse fortune-, breast its waves, and bufiet your course manfully to the other shore. It will never do to wait till, the river runs by. In friendship if some unknown cause has produced au alienation, don't say, as too many do, " He may get pleased again. as he can, but find out thc estrangc- ment, apologize if you are in the wron; expostulate amicably if otherwise. If you wait till the river runs by, you may wait for ever, and also find the longec you wait, the current ruus deeper. Iu- j your own family never wait until tho. river runs by; but if a wife's feelings are hurt, explain and make reparation at once, for life is too short and happiness too precious to be wasted in obstinacy, sullenness or misundcrstandiug, when a few words will remedy all.

In a western village a charmlug, well' preserved widow had been courted and won by a physician. She has children ; among them a . crippled boy, who haJ been petted, and, if not spoiled, certainly allowed very great "freedom ia debate," The wedding day was approaching, aud if was time the children should know that" they wcre to have a new father.
