YANKEE SENTrMENT.7-Thepeople of Connec-
ticnt ara not Generally suspected Of being; given
TO sentimentS but tks.sss q degree of
ender-hearledness in regard to the destruction
Of their leaty monach, the famous Charter Oak,
worthy of the most romantic community of Ger
many. The Hartford papers yesterday were
put in mourning and we are Informed that the
bells of the city were tolled, at sundown, and
that dirge was performed at noon, by Colts
band over the PROSTATE tree. This touch of ma
ture in our Connecticut neighbors is most credi-
table TO their refinement, and will astOnlsh many
who probably think that the Charter Oak would
be Immediately manufactured into clocks and
nulmegs But We presume that it's precious
wood will be reigiously preserved ami made up
into snuff boxes, canes, fans, and other objects
that can b. kept as mementoes of the venerable
tree.-N. Y. Times, Aug. %.

A YANKEES IDEA OF THE COTTON Plant
A writer in the Augustn Cron'cIe q. sent,nct
of late dale, says: A brace OF rsd.mouthed
Yankees, Just arrived, were going around town
the other day seeing The sights when they
stepped into cotton warehouse 10 look IL the
great Southern staple, and after being shown
several Tiers of bales, they expressed desire to
see it growing. The polite warehouseman
called their attention to = pnch OF luSurlant
eourd vines, telling them that was the stun:
The Yankees gazed with mingled delight and
disappointment. as they inhaled the fragrant
fumes. and were astonished TO hear that the
plant died every year.
Yankee No. i said "Ialways thought it grew
upon trees"
Yankee No. 2, (con.cions of his superior
knowledge,) replied: II knew it grew upon
vine, but guessed it was an evergreen"

Southern institulons"- forming their opinion
from their guesses.
