yERDMONT AND VERMONT.

I" Yerd-mont" was name given to
the Green Mountains in October, 176S,
by the Rev. DR.. Peters, the first cler-
gyman who paid visit to the 10000
settlers in this country, in the presence
of Col. Taplin, Col. Willis, Col. Pc
ters, Judge Peters, and many others,
who were proprietors of large num-
Der of townships in that colony. The
ceremony was performed on the top of
a rock standing on high mountain,
then named Mount Pisgah, because it
provided to the company clear sight
of Lake Champlain at the west and of
Connecticut river at the east, and over
looked all the trees aud hills in the vast
wilderness at the north and south. The
baptism was performed in the follow
ing manner Priest Peters stood on the
pinnacle of the rock, when he received
bottle of spirits from Col. Taplin I;
then haranguing the company with a
short history of the infant settlement,
and tile prospect of its becoming an
impregnable barrier between the Brit
ish colonies in the south and the late
colonies of the French in the north,
which might be returned to their late
owners, for the sake of governing
America by the different powers Of
Europe. lie continued: we have
here met upon the rock Etam, standing
on Mount Pisgah, which makes part
of ne eor'lttstia0 hiH, the spine of A STA
Africa an America, holding together
the terrestrial ball, and dividing the
Atlantic from the Pacific oceans--to
dedicdte aud coasecrGte this extensive
wilderness to God manifested in the
flesh, and to give it new name worthy
of the Athenians and ancient Spartans
which new name is Verd-MOnt, in
token that her mountains and hills shall
be ever green and shall never die
He then poured out the spirits and cast
the bottle upon the rock Etam." The
name of Vermont was not Immediately
accepted and adopted, for on the l5tl
of January, 1777, the name Anew Con
necticut was adopted at the Westmin
ster Convention, and it was not unit
June 4, 1777, that the name Vernon
was adopted at the Windsor Conven
ton.
DR., Thomas Young, of Philadelphia
has the credit of furnishing this nam'
for the territory known as New Hamp
shire Grant.

Frenchman, wrote to Ethan Allen il

To THE EDITOR OF THE BANNER.
SIR:
have lately received from England three
very interesting old books relating to the
american War" published soon after its
close, and written by two officers attached
to Burgoynes's army, and SURRENDERED as
prisoners of war Mt Saratoga.
In these Centennial days they have pecu-
liar interest, especially one of them. 'IsYb's
American War" published in 1889, iE'which
reference is made TO 'THE AFFAIR ATlBEN-
NINGToS," quite at length. and givts the
British view of its Importance as ahPtinR
the results of the war.
After speaking of the uninterrupted sue
cesses Of Gen. Burgoyne from the time II his
arrival upon the shores of Lake Chamilain,
in June 1777, to his reaching Skeenesbro in
July. he says;
Such was the rapid torrent of success Ehich
in this period of tho campaign swept away
all opposition before the British army. The
officers and men were highly elatedlwith
their good fortune. They considered their
trials to be nearly at an end. Albanyto be
within their grasp and the adjacent Erwin

the loss of TiconderOga opened throughout
