To the Yankees. We had accordingly some skirmish-
ing Cor the last few days, and large group Of visi
tes, in anticipation OF some difficulty Ut the Ma
CARA celebration, left hero this morning, by the
cars IN order to be present on Tuesday at the oeo-
bration.
There are great variety Of attractions here, in
the shape OF scenery, for tourists AS peaoe
full negotiations" restore that balance of mind to
which the philosophers at either side of the IS.
Lawrence never would aspire, it is fn contemplation
10 celebrate the affair by . grand masquerade at
Rouses Point. This topic has been gravely dis
cnssed at one of the sttings Of tlfe sojourners in
council.
Among the numerous visiters here, notice tho
names Of Hon James Monroe, of the Senate; Henry
II Bartlett, New York; w. A. McAlpin. lady and
daughter, Albany; M. III. Grinnell, lady, three

Of ninety degrees in the shade in your diggins
Chateaugay is prominent point Of attraction for
tourists 1t is distant from here about forty-fve
miles, and forms the grand feature on the works
upon the line of railroad between here and Ogdens-
burg. A large valley or gulloy has been filed over
to the immense height Of ninety feet SO as to form
q compact and solid body of earth, over which the
road is laid, and the cost must have been i'm
mense. Colonel Schlatter is the engineer.
Northern New York does not seem to be much
known about the city of New York-its capabilities
snrpass many places that have been cracked up to
the skies, by persons having personal interest in
the matter. Before the opening of the Ogdens-
burg railroad, it was completely shut up from all
intercourse with the States during the winter
moDths-but now the cars are loaded ut all times,
ard business and travel are kept up uninterrupted
~ through the year. There is good deal of CON-
petition between Buffalo, Oswcgo, and Ogdensburg
for Canadian trade, since the opening of this road
but the facilities and advantages are strongly in
favor Of the new line, which will shortly be met by
a corresponding share Of enterprise on the Canada
side, where company have broken ground near
the celebrated old wind mill, with mind to build
new road ria Byown. This will DO found vast ad-
vantage. Canadian flour is the great staple of trade
from the provinces-the supply daily is immense.
Much trade is carried by tho boats from here to
Whitehall, distance of 1875 miles through the lake.
The scenery along is truly picturesque and tourists
and pleasure parties daily crowd the boats to enjoy
the refreshing and balmy air from the Surrounding
hills and mountains
The LuDdy Lane demonstration is looked upon
as an offset to counterac the late movement of the
British government in relation to the fishery ques-
tion. So say some Britishers l have met here and
who "long to see another breeze with the Yam
KEGS" Frequent alterations have latterly taken
place between subjects and citizens on the borders
in consequence of the present difficulty on this ques
tion, and it will be hard to heal old sores.
To all passers- by, with anonymous, synonymous,
or other travelling sobriquets Of every style and
fashion, would wish that when they drop a line to
the NEW YORK HERALD, they would deal with the
same candor, and entertain the respect for its
worthy proprietor, as does VICTOR.
