Historic Ticonderoga.

There are few spots around which cluster
so many historic associations as the little
plot of ground between the lakes on which
stood old Fort Ticonderoga. The whole
region is a historic one, from Crown Point
ct the head Of Lake Champlain, to Fort
William Henry, at the foot Of Lake George,
and Fort Edward on the Hudson but Fort
s'Ty' is the historical, as it is the geographi-
cal, centre Of that wild and mountainous coun-
try which makes the waters so romantic 1t
was here that the English General Abercrom-
bic met with that overwhelming disaster
which gave to the name of Montcalm an I'M
dying fame. No severer struggle ever took
place between the opposing forces of England
and France, and the English arms never suf-
fered a more complete reverse in the fortunes
of war. Out of sixteen thousand men, two
thousand we're killed, it may be said, in one
hour, and under circumstances where courage
or fear was alike unavailing. The coming
celebration Of the Ethan Allen Centennial
recalls the terrible butchery which took place
on this work nine years before Allen
and his Green Mountain boys wrested

the cost of two expeditions and one startling
calamity. In view Of the interest that is
taken in these events at this time CORE
spondent of the HERALD has been over the
ground, and, in a letter which we print this
morning, he recounts Abercrombe's ill-fated
story. 1t is tale which has more than the
charm Of romance, and, what is more, it is
romance that is all true beyond the power Of
the imagination to conceive or Of words to
picture, even in outline, Of tie vivid reality.
In recalling these scenes, SO terrible amid
what is SO grand in nature, we begin to realize
that America has indeed history. Not only
did the Old World contend on these lakes
and among these mountains for empire in the
New, but it was here that the shot fired by
the 'sembattled farmers" at Concord Bridge
had its first fruits Gin the name Of the great
Jehovah and the Continental Congress" 1t
is meet that after the lapse Of a hundred
years we should remember all these things,
and Of all our recollections there is not
prouder one than the remembrance Of Ethan

The --LATEST SCHEME to rob State has been
discovered in Missouri. 1t was based upon
bogus war claims which are ultimately to b
presented to the general government for pay.
ment The discovery in Missouri indicates
the existence Of powerful lobby to press
these claims through Congress- and, as most
Of the States have some of the like kind the
seal of public disapprobation must be put on
this species Of robbery from the outset.

DosISo APoTHEcAREs are a nuisance which

will serve to call public attention to the dan

which ought to be prescribed only by a regular
physician.

The REMOVAL BILLS were the subject of
long debate in the Assembly yesterday, and
what is known as the Senate bill, by which
removals by the Governor can only be
effected with the consent of two-thirds
of the Senate, was finally adopted, with
only one vote in opposition. Though
Mr.. Daily made determined effort to secure
for the Governor the absolute power Of re-
moval he was beaten both in committee of
the whole and in the House, and he wisely
voted with the majority when nothing was
left for him but 70 accept the Senate bill.
This disposes of one Of the most troublesome
questions Of the session. The result Is likely
to be generally acceptable, the powers con-
ferred on the Governor being as great as the
people would be willing To grant to any
Executive.

GENERAL BEAUREGARD. We print else
where communication from a correspondent
who seeks TO set right the position Of General
Beauregard in reference TO the charge that
during the last war he was in favor Of shoot
ing all the prisoners and conducting the war
without quarter. Our correspondent shows
that on many occasions, or every occasion, in
fact, when General Beauregard Ind the oppor-
tuni,y, b. treated his prisoners with hu-
manly. No ono who knows General Boaure-
gard will suppose for q moment that he would
do anything else. It was this that led rs to
marvel that under any circumstances he
would favor the Introduction into modern war
OF customs which, for century Or two, have
only been pactised by Kailirs and Sioux.
The matter is scarcely worthy Of further dis
cussion. and, So iar ~ General Beaurogard Is
concerned We prefer - think only Of hs
humanity and courtesy and courage, and not
Of any Of the foolish purposes he may have
supported ia the hca. and fury Of an unhappy
war.

storm came from the northeast and caught
d portion of the fishing fleet, about nine
vessels, some engaged in lifting their

The PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION.

THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION.
There has been more or less said of late
respecting the next Republican candi-
date for President, and from this time
forth we may expect the interest III the
subject to increase steadily up to the
time of the nominating convention. 1t
is to be hoped that the matter will be
treated with due moderation, that no
sectional jealousies will be engineered,
and that every Republican viii SO have
the good OF. his country at heart as to
be In readiness to support fully and
heartily the nominee of the convention
whoever he may be. There will be a
number of men pushed forward each of
whom will have earnest and eager friends
and as but one can be selected there Will
of course be many disappointemts. It
is these disappOintments which we must
be prepared for, and, when they come,
be ready to accept in philosophical
spirit. We believe that the party, re-
cogniz1ng that the coming election is to
be an eventful struggle and that no
strength can be safely wasted. is deter
mined to place personal preferences in
the background, and to labor unitedly
for the further prevalence of the princi
Piles which have characterized Repubh-
canism and wrought SO much good for
the country.-Senfi3eGt

GERMANS IN AMERICA.-InS7 following
Is an extract from Carl Scurz's speech
al the German dinner in New York:
A few words he would say to them
especially as Germans. He had never
been IN favor, nor was he now, of hav-
ing the Germans in this country clan to-
gether and become separated from the
other elements of the population In
his view the Germans here were all
Americans. Their interests We're those
of the people, their duties those OF the
people, and they should be banded to-
gether and united only by the common
band of American patriotism. Germans
here were among the first TO battle for
