The Rain Of Yesterday aud Last

Itis recorded in the annals OF the IA

that when, after enduring SO long the

simultaneously they shouted, " ThOiaS'd :

So We imagine the farming people
wherever the glorious rain Of yesterday

to cry out in tones Of exultant gratiGca-
lion over the timely rescue Of their wan

Having lost nearly all their fruit pros
pects by the frost, and suffered so much
injury to the wheat, ii was indeed dis.

For some days past there has been a
noticcably discouraged tone to the reports
Of crop prospects in the Ohio Valley, and
the country east and west Of it, on account
Of threatened drouth. This tone derived,
no doubt, some Of its sombrc hue from
sympathetic relation to the grasshOPper
panic prevailing in the West. We are
happy to notice that there is now change
for the better in both particulars, and we
hope that the general business Of the
country, which has been so much de-
pressed all spring by the laIcness Of the

more favorable outlook for the farming

THE DAVIS IMMIGRATION.

The Washington Chronicle is delighted at
the sloyaltsD evinced by the people and press
of the North and West, in the insult offered
to Mr.. Davis. It has another long article ON
the subject, beginning as follows:
aOne good effect has followed the move.
ment to have Jefferson Davis appear before a
N+theTn audience-an appearance ostensibly
for the purpose of giving his notions on an
agricultural, or some kindred topic, but for
the more hidden object of gratifying the old
copperhead sentiment-and that is, the bring
ing forth of the settled views of the people,
as regards the heinons features of the rebels
lion, and the criminality attaching to the un-
repentnnt instigators thereof. All through
the Northwest, whereof a good, staunch,
Union sentiment prevailed through the war
where soldiers were gathered by the thousand,
and sent forward to fight the battles of our
country, in defence of its integrity and our
houored aag-the invitation to Davis, the arch
traitor, has been branded as . proceeding,
which, If carried out, would be an insult to the
loyal Masses"
Now, if the Chronicle does not .tlet up"
soon, We shall begin to suspect that this whole
affair was trick of the Radicals to arouse
the old war ieeling-unhappily for them, now
dying out. May it not be possible that all of
these invitations to Mr.. Davis were given in
the hope that he might accept some of them,
and thus give occasion for the hue and cry
that has been raised, to arouse sthe loyal
masses 2' We begin to think that there was
cat in that meal tub. and it has drawn the
FIRE of the whole ..loyal" North.
