Mon LAW in TENNEssEE.-J. L. Hex

Captain in the sih Michigan Cavalry, was
mobbed at Pulaski, Tenn, whittier he had
gone on business, on the 9th of Sepiem-
Der, and barely escaped with his life. He
was beset while in stole by crowd OF
from thirty to fifty men, more than half OF
whom were armed, led by bushwhacker
named Pilaut. The scene which ensued
is thus described by a correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Gazette;
Pilaut, who was the leader, now COM
menced throwing at Capt. r., when the
Captain drew his pistol, cooked it, and or
dered him to desist. Pilaut instantly
Jumped back out Of the door, (all BUSH
whackers are cowards) drew his pistol and
called on the noncombatants in the drug
store to get out Of the way. While clear
ing the store Pilaut walked back and forth
before the door, as if on guard. That's
right, PiIaut, shouted the crowd, walk
1 your beat. Yes he answered, the

CRoP RETURNS FOR THE PRESENT |
YEAR.-The returns to the Department
Of Agriculture state that the corn crop
has deterioated from early frosts and ex-
cessive rains, but the quantity of the crop
is larger than ever was chronicled in the
country. The yield of wheat will not va
ry much from 143,oO0,000 bushels, show
ing a small percentage of decrease, which
is fully compensated by the comparative
ly superior quality of the grain. This is
100000 bushels more than the crop of
1852 and within 100000 bushels of
product in proportion to the increased
population. The dlminution in the South
is most apparent. The estimates point to
less the 100000 bushels in eleven
States heretofore unreported, fraction
less than ive-tenths of the crop OF 1859.
The California wheat harvest, of which
little note has been publicly made in con-
nection with the present crop, is excessive.
In 1860 the product of the young State
was nearly 100000 bushels. Now it is
seriously claimed by leading California
agriculturists that'the surplus for export
will nearly double that quantity. 1t is ev-
ident that the entire wheat crop will ex
coed by several millions that of 1859,
when the yield was reported at l73, 104,-
924 bushels. Then there was five and
half bushels to each individutl. In 1856
the estimates point to five bushels to each
inhabilant. There is 10 ground, then, for
apprehensions Of a scarcity, and little ex-
cuse in the amount of the crop for starva-
ton prices.
The yield OF oats is extraordinary and
the quality excellent. The indications
point to an Increase of from 1,497 ,072
bushels in 1859, to 271,912, 695 in 1866.
1t is the only crop in the South that man.

A Novel Contribution.

AT a late meeting in the city of W.
Mass, Rev. Mr.. -, being about to take
a collection for benevolent purposes, urged
his brethren TO give according to their
first impression. "Do not wait TO think
the matter over and over to see hoto small
a donation you can make and not be goad-
ed beyond endurance by your conscience"
The sexton PASSED around with the box
TO take the contribution, and as he passed
he came to lady of wealth. but who hap
pened then 10 have very little money with
her. She put her hand into her pocket to
take what she had and the first thing she
perceived was a nice ripe pear, and quick
er than thought she said TO herself, I'll put
that in with what money | have. The
second thought was, 1t won't do,"-the
third, My pastor told me to heed my
first impression" and in it went with what
money she had. The grave sexton looked
rather curiously at the novel contribution,
but passed on suffering it to remain in the
box. When he completed his work and
counted the proceeds he announced that
they had contributed S, and this nice
ripe pear, holding it before them. He
hardly knew what to do with the pear but
it was proposed TO sell it TO the highest
bidder and put the funds received into the
contribution, and to the great surprise and
qualification of the sexton, the pastor, and
all present it sold in very few minute:
for upwards of twenty dollars.
The moral Of this singular incident
leave each reader to draw for himself
For the truth of the story am prepared
to vouch. NovUM.

A WoMAN's FIGHT WITH INDIANS
The following is from the Tehama Cali
formal Observer: "L. Hessick, who
runs pack train between Red Bluff and
Hayfork of Trinity, gives the particulars
of daring exploit of lady. Mrs. Sa-
rah Donelson, formerly a resident of Red
Bluff, is living in a log house Oh the trail
with her children and her father. A few
days ago her father went out hunting
stock, and Mrs. Donelson was looking af-
ter her poultry a short distance from the
house. Suddenly five Indians made their
appearance. Mrs. Donelson started fol-
the house, and was intercepted by two In
dians. Throwing them from her, a third
caught her by the shoulder. She knocked
him down, and reached the house in safe
ty, and barred the door. The Indians
rested one or more rifles on the window,
| leveled at The woman, who approached
them, took down her fathers rifle and re-
turned the fire of the Indians through the
apertures or ohinks' of the log house

Democratic Progress.

The Democratic party opposed the con-
stitutional amendment abolshing slavery,
but after it had become the fundamental
law Of the land, began to turn in for it, as
the especial champions and friends Of the
President, and to see them, with so much
solemnity, assume the guardianship of that
great act of freedom, one would not sup
pose they bad been the great support of
slavery and barbarism for the last quarter
Of century. Yet so it is and now we
find that Mr.. Brigham of Hydepark, the
leader Of the sixteen democrats in the
Legislature. has introduced joint reso-
luton in the House, that if the Southern
States will come forward and adopt the
amendment proposed by Congress at its
last session, which is of course the " con-
gressional policy" then such States should
be admitted. In other words, the democ-
racy having seen the hand writing on the
wall in the late elections, they are now
preparing to adopt the congressional pol
icy and soon we shall see them, after bav-
ing done all they could to defeat it, max
ing themselves its special champions. The
policy of Congress has been found to have
more strength in the country than even
its friends first supposed, and it is likely
soon to become part of the constitution
of the country. Mr.. Brigham, however,
may be a little in advance of the main
body of his party, and it may be also that
he has another object in view. He lives
in the third district, and is the democratic
candidate for Congress, and as the politi-
cal elements in that district have not been
SO thoroughly harmonized in the Union
party as was hoped, there is a bare posi-
bility that he may slip in between the
split of his opponents, and especially SO if
he can succeed in diverting some Union
votes to himself. 1t certainly looks lit
tie as if he was " swinging refund the cir
cle." We apprehend no danger, however
and it may be that we misjudge the cause
of this progressive spirit thus manifested
but we congratulate Mr.. Brigham on hi
present state OF political progress, ant
trust he will keep on tillhe shall find com
plete salvation.
That our readers may see and Judg
for themselves, as to the position now &C
cupied by the great democratic party o
Vermont, we quote the resolution offere
by Mr.. Brigham as follows:
Resolved BIZ the Senate and House 0
Representatives, That if the Souther
States lately in instruction, will adopt, i

Canada and the Fenians.

The Canadians have just tried at Tor
onto, two Fenian prisoners, Robert Is.
Lynch. said to be Colonel IN the Fenian
army, and Rev. John McMahon, and con-
demned both to be hung on the 18th day
of December next. Lynch is an Episcopal,
and Mcmahon Roman Catholic priest,
and the defence of the first was that he
was simply present as newspaper cor
respondent and the other as spiritual adj
wiser to the sick and wounded.
The trial and condemnation OF these
two prominent persons has created con-
siderable feeling, especially in Fenian
circles. on this side of the line, and large
meetings of Fenians have been held in
various places. and threats OF retaliation
freely made if the Canadians carry the
sentence of execution into effect. Efforts
are also being made to induce our govern
ment to use its influence in behalf of the
prisoners. Should the Canadians, with
that perversness and logged obstinacy so
characteristic of the nation to which they
are colony, still persist in the execution
of the Fenian prisoners, there will I'M
doubtedly be renewal of the Fenian ex-
element, and the Canadians may yet find
Il to be for their interest TO take little OF
the advice they so freely lavished upon
this country during the rebellion.
