DEAR SIR, a recent letter bearing
Mr.. Summers signature, occur certain
statements regarding the treatment of
our friend, Frederick Douglass, at the
hands of the President of the United
States and of the Dominican commits
sion. AS these statements were so evil
IDENTIFY inspired by political bitterness,
and as their injustice has been shown by
Mr.. Douglass himself, it did not seem
worth while to answer them. | simply
regretted them as unworthy the hon
ored name of Charles Sumner. But as |
have evidence that some colored men
wish to know the exact truth, permit
me to give it as conclusively as possible.
First-When the commission to st.
Domingo was appointed, President Grant
attached to it two special secretaries.
As one of these he chose General Franz
Sigel. and as the other, passing over
multitude of white men anxious to 90,
he selected Frederick Douglass-thus
rising above old prejudices and recog-
niZing the rights of colored citizens, as
no President save Abraham Lincoln had
ever done.
Second-Having chosen him, orders
were given-orders understood to pro-
coed from the President-that Mr.. Doug
lass should, in all respects, be treated as
honorably and provided for as comfort
ably as the most favored persons in the

LAKE GEORGE, n. y, Aug. 8.
Editor Rutland Herald Il arrived in
this quarter of the globe last evening by
stage from Glens Falls. My journey
here was quite pleasant, although the
day was terribly hot. The ten mile
stage ride from Glens Falls here gave
me fine opportunity to witness the
scenery along the route and to notice the
two great points of interest to travellers,
civilians Monument and ''Bloody
Pond" The first of these you will rec
ollect marks the spot where Colonel
Epbraim Williams was shot in his men,
orable fight with the French and Indf-
ans, Sept. 8th, 1855, and the second of
these places, Bloody Pool, was where
the English surprised body of French
and Indians at refreshment in the even
ing of the same day, administered them,
throwing their bodies into this pond Cor
rather pool, as it only covers few acres
and without inlet or outlet which so
discolored the water that the next morn
ing it was very bloody. Hence the name
''Bloody Pond"
On my arrival at Lake George, [
learned that President Grant and party,
was expected on the boat, from Ticon-
deroga. Very soon the cannon COM
menced booming, announcing his APP
proach, Quite little commotion was
stirred up by this announcement among
the quiet denizens of Caldwell, and
groups of citizens and guests of the ho-
tells, congregated at the wharf to well
come his arrival. The boat soon landed
and the President and suite were escort
ed to the Fort William Henry House.
The General looks jaded somewhat
and tries the best he can to avoid the
crowd thronging to see him, He is, of
course, more discussed and commented
upon by the people than heretofore, and
hence his aversion of the general public

Lake George has an enchantment that

ed Sacrament, while the ancient Iro-
quois named it ''Andia-ti-roc-te" literally
There the Lake shuts itself" Truly is
this fact, as you will find on visit
here. The watershed shuts close down
on either side and the lake is in a basin
surrounded by high ranges of mountains
there being only two or three feasible
approaches to it, one from the south,
one from the west or southwest and the
other north by the way of TicOnderOga.
1t lays $50 feet higher than Lake Cham
plain into which, debouches, and this
fall is effected within one mile of its
outlet. This fall of $50 feet, in a dis
lance of one mile, must give fine oppor-
tunities for mill privileges near TicOn-

improved of late. Of course nothing
can be done by way of the Introduction

LETTER FROM A CIVIL ENGINEER-TIIE
MORIAIT AND CHEvER IRON MINEs-PE-
CULIAR PONTOON BRIDGE AT TIC0NDER-
oGA-PERILs OF SURVEYING ALONG
TIE LAKE SHORE BLUFFS, ETC.
We have had the pleasure of reading
q private letter dated at WillsbOrOugh,
n. Y. Aug. 5. which contains so much
valuable andinteresting information con-
corning Essex county and other regions
northward, that we make copious eX-
tracts therefrom for the benefit of the
readers of the Times.
!. W. Curtis. the writer, is a well
known engineer Of this city, at present
engaged in surveying the route of the
New York and Canada railroad. He
says:
I started on the 22d of June from
Port Henry, on the west shore OF Lake
Champlain. 40 miles r.Orth of White
hall. The principal business of this
village is irOn-there is. a blast furnace
with two stacks, which turns out about
100 gross tons per day The furnace is
owned by Withebee, Sherman d Co.,
who have a railroad from the port to
en- miles to the southwest, expressly to
draw this ore. Before the road was
built the ore was draw by teams on
wagons, one team draw ing as much as
II cross tons at one lO3d, while an ay-
erage wagon load is Only five gross tons,
so that the enormous size of these vehl-
Giles can be imagined.
The iron mines Cra in the town of
Moriah, ard employ from three hundred
to six hundred men in turning out about
twelve hundred tons of ore daily, a large
portion of which is shipped by canal
boats on the lake. The Whitehall and
Pittsburgh railroad has its north ter
minus at Port H enry, and the pig iron
is mostly shipped by rail to all parts of
the country.
The Whiteha II and Pittsburgh road
is controlled by the Vermont Central,
and crosses tho lake at Ticonderoga, run
ming thence to Rutland. The lake is
crossed on pile, bridge, with draw in
the center of bout five hundred feet.
This latter is sort of pOntOOn bridge,
which swings round out of the way,
when not wan ted for the railroad use.
The descent f. .om the pile bridge to the
pontOon is ar 'anged somewhat after the
manner of f erry-boat bridges, so that
when the ira in strikes the float and set
ties, the incl inc will 90 with it and keep
the cars all right. The assent from the
pontoon is similar in principles. In my
judgment i is very poor piece OF en-
cheering nd cannot last long, as the
ice viii lii t the piles, when the lake
breaks up and destroy the bridge.
After Il aving the furnace and going
north wit hmy line, very steep bluff of
rocks. al encountered, which extend

BENNINGTON.

Our village is filled with city guests,
who delight in spending the heated term
among the Green Mountains. Really it
is enjoyable.
Stone & Murray's circus will exhibit
in this place on Friday. Also it being
the "Giorious Sixteenth" many eminent
and patriotic orators from abroad will
be present and address the people,
among whom will be Hon. George F.
Edmunds, United States Senator from
Vermont. A flag will floatin the breeze
in honor of Grant and Wilson, display
ING our national cOlOrs.
The Father Matthew Society will
hold their annual ball in Library Hall,
on the night of the Esd. A good time
is expected.
The Putnam base ball club of Troy,
will play a match game with the Actives
of this place, next Friday. The Actives
challenge any club in the State to play
with them.
The weather continues warm and
sultry. The thermometer, two days last
week, indicated upwards of 800 in the
shade.
The graded schools will commence
Monday, Aug. Goth.
The Methodist Sunday School made
their annual excursion to Troy, last Fri
day. The day was particular fine, and
everything passed off in harmony, and
we, with scores of others, pronounced it
an enjoyable occasion.
Grant and Wilson! it makes ticket
which embodies much of national and
political distinction. Greeley will not
be elected, we firmly believe; he is not
the man for the office, as can be
amply demonstrated by the proceedings
of his former life. Grant has proved
true to our glorious union, and will.
Friends, then do not be wavered by the
corrupt Tammany rings of any Greeley
alliances. Vote for, and be in favor of
the right man. Sustain and protect the
right in all cases is only reasonable re-
quest, and one that can easily be full
filled. God protects the right, therefore
we are sure that our brave General and
President will be reelected.
Prof Woollet, the celebrated elo-
cutionist, is expected to visit this place
some time during the month.
AS a neat device for marking and
printing persons name neatly and
beautifully on clothing, ETC., we know of
nothing more handy, convenient and use
full, than one of S. NJ Bowles' (of Ben
nington unique stencil plates, which are
advertised in another column of THE
HERALD. Every lady and gentleman
should possess one, and his inducements
are very reasonable. 3D."

THE HERALD has become a 71ecessity.
All through my boyhood days at the
''oId homestead" in Benson-afterwards
while attending school in different States
then during a sojourn of several years
in that proud and great Western city,
Chicago-from there returning to the
old Green Mountain State, and while
holding a position under Uncle Sam,

TIE HERALD has been my constant com
panion; and even now while surrounded
by the "Bulls and Bears" of Wall and
Pine streets, I look for the weekly COM
ing of THE HERALD with eagerncss
second only to that of receiving news
direct from home.
And now am l rendered doubly happy
since my tacorjte puts in daily appear

$50, and were Boosting that the Grant

Fatal ACCIDENTS. On Monday, Aug.
9th, an Irishman, named John Gallagher,
was killed at Brinsmaids shaft, at
Mineville, n. Y, by a chunk falling
from the roof and striking him on the
shoulder and side. He lived only about
two hours and half after the accident.
On Saturday night last stranger,
whose name we are unable to ascertain,
was killed at Millers pit while riding up
in the car At one point the roof is
very low, and being ignorant of the
danger or careless, he was caught and
crushed between the car and roof.
