Thrilling Adventureon the Plains.

A San Francisco prit relates the cir
cumstances of most hroic and intrepid
act, on the part of a lag, which was per
formed last month in te Indian country.
About the 10Th of Marh, q telegraphic
dispatch was publishd in the papers,
telling the story, to te effect that the
Overland Mail stage each had been at
tackled by the Indian near Canon Sta
ton. and the driver killed. On the 25th,
a lady named Mrs Jan Gerrish, with
her child, arrived in Sa Francisco from
the East. via the Oveland Route, and
put up at the OccidentsHotel- She was
the only passenger, betle her little one,
in the very same-rDfl on the box OF
which the driver was sbt by the Indians.
The dispatch, therefor, was true, but
the whole truth was no told. The de-
tails of the affair, as larrated by this
lady, are most thrilling and herself the
principal actor in them Instantaneously
with the shooting of the driver. Mrs.
Gerrish leaped out of ae stage, leaving
child At the same minent, four or five
shots more were fire by the Indians,
one of which struck a orse in the head,
and he fell She instatly cut him loose,
mounted the box, AM seizing the reins,
applied the whip vigor rusly. The driver,
on being shot, fell bak into the boot be
hind the seat. The hree horses were
put to the top of the. speed, and con
tinued running for abat two miles, when
luckily they encounted another stage
from the opposite dseetion. In this
was number of soldirs, who instantly
! came to the aid of theieroine, when she

Connecticut and the President.

The New York Times, in an article
on the Connecticut Victory, has the fol-
lowing lust reference to its connection
with the reelection of Mr.. Lincoln:
The bearing of the election on the
Presidential nomination viii not escape
public attention. The Union Conven-
ton. which has put in nomination the
ticket which has just been elected, also
declared the preference OF the Union
party for Mr. Lincoln as the next Union
candidate for the Presidency. The vote
just given shows that in this, as in other
matters it correctly represents the senti-
ment of the great mass of the State. In
our judgement the same result viii at
tend every similar test OF public opinion
throughout the North President Lin
coin has won, TO an extent never before
equaled except in the case of Washing
ton, the full and entire confidence of the
people in the integrity and patriotism
which he brings to the discharge Of his
high trusts:-and, in . time of war when
great and universal powers are Of neces-
sitv intrusted to the hands OF the Execu-
tive, this is consideration that far out
weighs all others. No man, whatever his
abilities, who was generally suspected Of
being swayed by personal ambition. and
of seeking his own ends rather than the
public good. could possibly have received
from Congress and the people such trans
cendent grants of power as have been
bestowed upon President Lincoln--Ib be
pubic faith in his honesty has been the
Strength OF the Administration, and 1t
wiIl he quite certain 70 command the con-
;inuance in his hands Jef~the power be
has never abused. but has always used
for the public good.

The TOBACCO CRoP.-The entire to-
hacco crop of 1850 in this country was
two hundred millions of pounds; or, more
exactly. 1879, 9,112654 OF this the South
ern States produced Isl, ,99l ,106 pounds
"a very near approximate to the whole,
as it leaves but Ii. 80 $40 pounds for the
remainder of the Union. Now we have
a total crop of tobacco ammounting to
114.192. .653 pounds in 1862 and 26T ,302,
10 pounds in 1868. Main, New Hamp-
shair. Vermont, Rhode Island, New
Jersey. Delaware, California and
Nebraska. which are credited with moth
ing in 1862, yielded 345,37S pounds in
1868, which is certainly considerable
growth for twelve months, and indicative
of large results in the future. If there
remain over 10000 pounds, as is sup
posed, from 1862. we should have on
hand, deducting the estimated consump-
tion-say s0,0o0,000 pounds for the
present supply. At IA cents per pound,
with a continuing foreign demand, We
may export one half in excess of former
years as to value: say S36,o00,o00.

"A sight was seen passing up Vine
street last evening. In the middle of the
street boy in tattered clothes, leading
a blind horse, on whose back were 4
feather bed and clothing, all the ward
robe of a family of six, surmounted by
the youngest boy Of six summers. On
the sidewalk followed an old woman,
sick and tired out, and three daughters,
mostly full grown. They were seeking
the Refugee Relief, where we found them
half an hour later. They had travelled
in this way from Owen county, Kentucky,
seeking more loyal and hospitable neigh
bors. The firemen gave the poor horse
a supper of oats; Main street anctioneer
took the little boy to a shoestore, and re-
Iieyed his sore feet of the dilapidated
clogs that crippled his walk, by fitting
him with good pair Of shoes, and giving
him also a new cap. AS the little fellow
began to feel comfortable in his new out
fit, he looked around inquiringly and said,
1 wonder if they have any jewsharps
here? The kindhearted giver was re-
warded for his trouble. The whole fami
ly will remain at the Relief for few days,
until employment or home is found for
them
