The sequel Of the facts thus recited IS
so inevitable, go thrilling, that 1t writes
itself and cannot fail, believe to make
an indelible impression upon every
mind
In the first place, it was simply impOs-
sible that Booth, or Payne, or Atzerott, or
Herold, or anybody else, could have de
termined uuOn the assassination Of Pres
ideat Lincoln at the theatre until they,
or one ofthem, knew that Mr.. Lincoln

In the second place, the messenger
| from the White House announcing that
the President and family desired a box
| for that evening did not arrive at the
theater until some time in the forenoon,
and Booth could not have heard OF 1t
until he came, two or three hours later,
for his letters.
In the third place, Booth had then just
Quilted, Mrs. Surratt's house, where he
left her starting for Surratsyille, in the
country, whence she did not return until
night Her absence rendered it impos'
sible for Booth to have any cOmmunica'
ton with her about his bloody project.
Ia the fourth place, not one Ofthe Othel
prisoners could have been informed OF
or are shown tohave taken any part what
ever in the affair. No trace Of any meet
ing or correspondence between Booth anl
others, save Payne, Herold, and Atzeroti
or between the latter three and other su5

The question is as to the ablest and
worthicst, and men like not to identify
themselves with the less and the mean
or. They ask if safety is not with the
noble, with the true, the strong. Is
not honor with that which has been

honor in the affinity for paltry expert
ments in men? Is the Pierce or the

A New Summer Resort.
ALBURGH SPRINGS, VII
July 6, 1868.

1cVCa
Although the place at which am at
present soiourning may be comparatively
unknown TO your readers, I feel justified
in saying that it is destined to become
one of the most attractive and fashion
able summer resorts in New England.
II has every natural requisite which a
iirst-class watering place in the interior
should possess-the lakes, the mountains,
the charming drives, the picturesque
scenery and homelike hotel now opened
seeker, it has the best mineral springs in
America, and If the repeated statements
of the first physicians in Boston and New
York are to be credited, the best in the
world.
There are, they say, none in America
possessing such efficient and varied heal
ing properties. One needs only to drink
the waters himself or observe their effect
upon others, TO be convinced that they
are right
find here parties rowing and sailing
in the bay-St Albans-fishing, &c q,
seeming more like at hletes than invalids,
who assure me that for years they had
been the victims, some of scrofula, some
of kidney affection, and others of rheu-
matism, &C., and had sought relief in vain
until they came here.
understand that the proprietor of the
springs-a wealthy gentleman in New
York, who has hitherto refused TO adver-
tised this water-intends, the coming
season, to open his commodious hotels
here, and to put the Alburgh Water
into the hands of druggists throughout
the country.
The air here is very cool ard bracing.
| see the mercury quoted in your paper
rs standing at 81 . to 90 in Boston,
| cannot realize here that we are having
any warm weather. The refreshing breezes
from up the long sweep of Lake Cham
plain, which gratefully Ian US every after
noon, make us forget that we are in the
midst of a sultry summer and that dog
days are near at hand.
Yesterday had the pleasure of dispor-
ting myself in trim little yacht on the
bay. The scenery shall net attempt
to describe. II is of the kind which, to
be appreciated, must he seen hope
you and many of your readers will some
Jay have the pleasure Of spending a hap.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 10, 1865.
EDITOR REGISTER-Dear Sir: The
thermometer has been among the
"ninetics" here for the last ten days or
more; yet mt night we have enjoyed re-
treshing breeZes which contributed
much to our rest. We have not been
blessed with Il good shower for two
weeks, and one would be greeted with
much satisfaction, rs our streets are dry
and dusty, and all nature here shows
the great need of q drcnching rain. But
in spite of the state of the thermometer,
picnics, excursions, base ball matches,
and pleasure parties of all kinds are the
order of the day, and every hour in the
day one is routed from his required
quietness and urged without any mercy
TO engage in some one or all of them
but | find that the only prudent place
for ones comfort at the present state of
the weather is TO keep quiet in the
shade and cool if possible.
To-day, ! expect, will prove tn he the
WarmcSt Of the season here.
No demonstration has been INDUCED
in hero tn lead one to believe that the
nomination at New York was satisfac-
tory to those who hoped for candidate
that would have some sort of Il chance
for election; but quite to the contrary
many OF them who were enthusiastic
prior to the result of the Convention
have lost all hopes, and coolly make
known their intention to support the
popular ticket-no doubt, wise con-
clusion. Tho hill now before the house
proposing to reduce the army and its
officers cXcitcs much feeling among
those interested, and they indulge in
the hope that the Senate will not con-
cur; but the strong strides which they
take towards reducing the public eX-
penses make positions look dubious in
many instances. Trusting that | hav.
not presumed too much upon your pa
thence, | will drop my pen and desist
ere tire you. Respectfully, u.
