The Yankee Two Hundred Years Ago.

The Yankee Two Hundred Years Ago.
Washington Irving, in his inimical " Knicker-
booker History of New York, - has drawn the
Yankee character to perfection. Two hundred
years have made but little if any changes in
their character. The historian, speaking of the
Manhattan Yankees, proceeds:
In truth they are a wonderful and all prev
alent people, of that class who only require an
inch TO gain an ell, or a halter to gain a horse
(The ThievesD From the time they first gained
a foothold on Plymouth Rock, they began to
migrate, progressing and progressing from
place TO place, and land to land, making a little
here and little there, and cOntrOVerting the old
proyerb, that rolling stone gathers no moss
Hence they facetiOusly received the nickname
of The Pilgrims that IS to say, a people who
are always seeking better country than their
own.
William the Testy had adopted a currency
(about equal in value to Old Abe's) ''of strings
Of beads wrought out of clans, periwinkles, and
other shell fish, and called seawant or wampum." ="
The historian proceeds, "And now, for time,
affairs went on sWimmingly; money became as
plentiful as in the modern days of paper curren-
cy, and, to use the popular phrase, "a wonderful
impulse was given to public prosperity" Yam
kee traders poured into the province, buying ev-
erything they could lay their hands on Gust as
they do now and paying the worthy Dutchmen
their own priee-in Indian money. If the ls!-
ter, however, attempted to pay the Yankees in
the same coin for their tinware and wooden
bowls, the case was altered; nothing weuld do
but Dutch guilders and such Ike metallic cur
ncy." What was worse, the Yankees intro
duced an inferior kind Of wampum made of oys-
ter-shells, Gust as they counterfeit Confederate
notes at this day. with which they deluged the
province, carrying off in exchange all the silver
and gold, the Dutch herrings aud Dutch cheese:
thus early did the knowing men Of the east man
ifest their skill in bargaining the New Amster-
hammers out OF the oyster, and leaving them
the shell.

RAIN IN SUMMER.

It comes The gushing wealth deseends
IIarS how it patters on the leaves
Hsrk how it drops from cottags caves
The pastures and the clouds are friends
Drop gentle, gentle rain
The faiuting cornstalk lifts its head,
The g ass grows greerer at thy tread,
The woods are musical again
And from the hillside springiug,
Down comes the torrent singing
with grateful nature in accord,
A full-voics anthem 10 the Lord
To thank Hon for the rain.

MR.. GREGoRY's SPEECH.

Mr. Gregory cOnteDded that though the war,
as Lord Russell had said, for independence
on one side, it was not for empire bat for re-
venge on the other, in pursuit of which object
every other consideration had been lost sight of
by the North, and he insisted that we had
perfect right to endeavor to put stop to such
state of things. Recognition he considered to
be clearly involved in the resolution of Mr. Lind
say, and he added other instances to those of
Mr.. Whiteside to prove that it was the policy of
this country and the practice Of the United
States TO recognize de factO governments. He
enumerated the titles which the Confederate
States had established to recogniion-in the
long maintenance of their independence, in the
power to carry on their government, as well as
in their commercial policy, and the stringent
provisions they had enacted against the slave
trade, the real encouragers of which traffic, he
maintained, had been in the North. Those who
hated slavery in their hearts must be mad, he
said, to suppose that tho reconstruction of the
Union would be favorable to their views. The
slavery pretext was a gress imposture attempted
to be palmed upon public credulity. The ques-
tion had been asked, if the House adopted the
resolution, and mediation was offered and re-
fused, what should next be done He did not
think it would be refused, but if it were, should
we recognize the Southern States, it would most
probably produce war; but he believed if we
acted in conjunction with other States, we
