THE COMO OF AMERICA. A GLOWING DESCBA-PXTON OF BEAXJ j XIFUL LAKE GEORGE. A Slepndld. Hotel-Eirchantlng Scenery -Historical Association*-Tue Pinna? cle, ??c. [FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.] FORT WILLUM HEXRT HOTEL, ) LAKE GEORGE, N. Y., August 29. f '?Scenes must be beautiful, whtcb. dally viewed, Please dally, amt whose novelty survives Long knowledge and the scrutiny of years." [Cowper. This la the loveliest region I have ever be- j Held. And the lines above are true, for I have j seen persons in my travels who say they have been through the lake as many as fifty ii m es, and yet they experience new pleasures and witness new beauties on each trip. The distance from Saratoga Springs to this hotel Is about forty miles; thirty by rall, and ten by stage. There are two routes-one by Glen's Falls, which ls the one I took, and of Whose distance I now name, and the other by Whitehall and Lake Champlain. To make the "round trip," one Is as good as the other, for the traveller must go the one and come the other. The whole route is about one hundred miles. In taking tbe Glen's Falls route, the traveller will do well to secare a seat upon the top of the coach, and thoa be tLe better pre? pared to get tbe foll benefit of the lourney, both In enjoying tbe scenery and the mountain J breezes. Before starting, however, the tour? ist should visit the falls on the Hudson near by. The river makes a descent of about sixty feet In a regular succession ot falls. When tbe stream is fall, the sight ls magnificent, andyone that well repays lbs trouble ol a| Journey. The bed and walls of the river are j composed of blue, fossiliferous limestone, and the scenery ls bold and striking. The ad? mirers of Cooper should not fall to explore tbe falls, and visit the cave under the rocks below, where the novelist lays the most thrill? ing scenes depicted la "The Last of the Mohi? cans." It was tn this cave that Hayward and 00m found refuge; where David struck his pitch-pipe. aHd sang the "lile o? Wight" to j the chiming ot tho music of the falls. ON THE ROAD TO TBS LAKE. Leaving Glenn's Falls, which of Itself Is a beautiful town of fl ve or six thousand Inhabi? tants, all of whom are said to be strong for Greeley and Brown, tbe coach robs on, through a beautiful undulating region, whose scenery cannot fail to charm the eye. Soon after leaving tbe'Falls, French mountain rises to the,view, and alter passing the batch, at about three miles from the lake, is seen a | beautiful monument to Colonel Williams, who was killed In tbe battle of Lake George, fought oa this spot on the 8th September, 1766. The monoment was erected by the j alumni ot Williams College, upon the rough boulder upon whieb, lt ls said, Williams stood when he received bis death wound. Colonel Williams was burled near where he fell. The grave was opened about thirty years ago, and lam informed that his skull ls In possession of a physician In Sooth Carolina. A little farther on may be seen "Bloody Pond," where Baron Dieskaee's troops halted after their defeat, and where, at sunset, they vere again attacked and routed with much slaughter, and, lt ls said, mingled their blood with the water of this shallow pond, which ls j covered with beautiful white lilies. About a mlle from the Village of Caldwell, which ls the name of the town In which Is situated the Fort William Henry Hotel, the ?oath or upper end or Lake George comes In sight. I pointed it ont lo a fellow-passenger, not knowing that it was Lake George, and re? marked to him what a beautiful stream of water lt was. We both admired it mach, and supposed we were within a couple of hundred yards of it, bat we were mistaken, as lt seem? ed DMeoede from os as we endeavored to ap? proach IL The view at this point Is one of | ! extreme beauty and grandeur, yet down the lake I saw finer. A CAPTIVATING CARAVANSERAI. Arriving at tbe hotel, I made ior the office to register my name, but I found about fifty ? ahead of me, and I had to walt. And not only J had I to wait, but a walter took me by tbe j armand led me to the foot end of a line made hy these flay men, who were standing In sln gie file. Jost as is done In large cities at the poetofflce. I was much amused daring the time I was standing in line, and gradually moving myself nearer and nearer tho coveted pen, to see others who were unfortunate tn being behind me, listen to their different re? marks, Ac., of whom there must have been near a hundred more. When the last man got a chance to take the Initiatory step in be? coming a guest at this magnificent hotel I knew not, for I did not walt to Bee. And now a word as to th e;ho te i. It ls one ol the finest buildings used as a hotel, I ever saw, and grand and most ample In its accommoda? tions and appointments. It will accommodate , atone time one thousand people. It cost $375, 000. and u kept by Messrs. T. Boesslle & SOD. It has been open now its fourth season. Board ls five douars per day, bat every ac- j commodatlon is so fine and complete that no one stopping there thinks the charge at all extravagant There are from eight hundred to one thousand people here at the present tuna. The hotel presents the most beautiful iron* I ever saw. Its piazza affords a de? lightful place for promenading. A band ls constantly discoursing most delightful music both night and day, and the dance ls kept ap tiff twelve o'clock at night. . ' FIRST TTEW OF THE LAKE. AtTthe hotel, looking north, west and east, a scene m presented which the English languages in its purity falls to correctly de? scribe. It most be seen to be appreciated. I, .haye no Idea of the beauties ol Paradise, but I should" not hesitate to wager a small som, if j I ever indulged In tbe luxury of betting at all, that they would dwindle lato utter Insignifi? cance when compared with these BOW pre- I seated to my view. Upon the east side of the lake is French Mountain; at the south end, a Utile ways off 1B another, called Rattlesnake Cobble, and on the west ls Prospect Mountain. In order to obtain a very extended view of the lake, it IB j necessary to climb some one of the mountains on the border. It ls said the finest view may be had from Battlesnake Cobble, but I will not hans the time to-go up and enjoy it, as my furlough ls now nearly out, and I must be back home Inside of a week. It ls said that three hours will suffice for a trip np Cobble [ Hill, though it Is said the snakes are very numer?os; while to ascend Prospect Mountain will ordinarily consume the greater portion ol ?day,... The water in the lake ls as clear and trans? parent as crystal. Yon may see fish down in It at the depth of fifteen and twenty feet! Great schools of fish come up all around the wharf. . Being at home somewhat a successful and devoted disciple ol Isaac Walton, I made arrangements with a boatman and fisherman this afternoon to go out fishing. I was to pay him one dollar per hour. We were gone out two hoars, and caught fifty-three fish, some of | which were very floe, and most ol which I caught myself, and all o? wblcb I gave to the boatman as I could not get them cooked, and yet he charged me two dollars. But out here, If a- An expects to see the sights and enjoy tbe 1 ax a rles, he mast expect to pay for so doing, Mid that handsomely too. "THE COMO OF AHERICA." Long ago the beauty of Lake George began to attract the attention of travellers, many of I whom were foreigners. It was even thea the general opinion that no lake exceeded lt In loveliness. By some visitors lt was called "the Como ol America." and others compared lt to the lakes of Westmoreland and some of the Scotch lakes, while all agreed that it must \ eventually become a popular resort. The pre? diction has been more than j us., a ed by the thousands of tourists who now annually visit Lake George. This lake ls adorned with no Ivied ruin or lordly hall. Besides Caldwell, which IB a small place, there are only four villages- j Bolton, Dresden, Hague aod Ticonderoga. Here and there the boatman finds a farm? house or cottage, bat he may sail for miles among certain districts without seeing a siga o? haman life. And yet there IB no lack o? an? tiquity. Among the lofty hills he will find peaks that were laid bare belore Eden bloomed, towers more ancient than Babel, and nature-curved crags that rejoiced In the sun's rays before Memnon began to S1D?. ITS HISTORIC ASSOCIATIONS. As with scenery, so with historic associa? tions, in which no lake can bc richer. There ls hardly a spot, either on land or water, that has not been the scene o? some warlike exploit or heroic adventure. Forming In Colonial times a rjrtot the great highway between Canada { anTNew York It was often the chosen battle- j ground of tbe French and English, who, In connection with hostile Indian tribes, waged a barbarous war on each other. Often was (he lake frayehedjhy the soldier, the savage and the monk. Hither came the brave Mont? calm, the pious Father Jaques, the good Roubad, Rigaud, St. Orvla and Ccercelles, together with Abercomble, Hene, Lord Am? herst, Putnam, Rodgers the Rauger, John? sen, Williams. "King Hendrick" and Stark, nod a multitude of others who ? are Invested with historic renown. The story of their deeds contains all the elemen ts ol romance. Cjoper ia his novels has lovest ? ed the lake with a thrilling laterest ; but the literal history is otttlmes stranger than the I overwrought Action. The Imaginative mind [ can easily reanimate tha lake with the splen? did armies of Abercrombie, Amherst and Montcalm, numbering from nine to sixteen thousand men each, and sailing lo boats and batteanx, marshalled ia beautiful array, with all the pomp and circumstance of war. How peacelul it appears to-day at the head of the lake around the ruins of Fort George and the grass-grown site of Fort William Henry. Yet here, through long and bloody wars, the cress of st. George waved defiance to the Lilies of France. Here torts and palisades went np, opposing trenches were dug, and mines sprung. Here the iron-mouthed can? non from tbe narrow embrasures of Macro belched oat death by day, while the hage bomb with Its fl ry trail came shrieking from the camp of Montcalm by Dight. Here, too, was the scene ot tbe massacre of the English by the French Indians of St. Francis. But now all signs of bloodshed and strife have passed away. Tbe hapless victims are for? ever at rest, and tbe descendants of the Abe? naki?, from the ancient village of their fathers, now unconsciously pitch their tents, and pursue the harmless trade of the basket maker over their graves. OLIDI.VG OVER THE LAUGHING WATERS. But taking the steamer Minnehaha, we glide down the centre of the lake, leaving behind a long line of foam. The high, wood-covered mountain on the east side is French Mountain. It terminates in a beautiful point called Plum's Point. A lillie over a mlle down the lake, on the west side, close to the shore, ls the first island we pass. It is called Tea Island, nod ls aperfeot lillie gem. In 1828, a "tea-house" i was kept there to accommodate visitors, and ' hence its nam?. A mlle and a half further on ls Diamond Island. It is said that, when this country was first settled, the island was over? run with rattlesnakes. One historical account | which I have read says that the people sel? dom ventured upon lt. It 1B called Diamond Island on account of the beautiful quartz crystals obtained. Sllliman, In his book ol travels, says: "The crystals are hardly sur? passed by any In the world for transparency and perfection of form. They are, as usual, the slx-slded prism, and are frequently ter? minated at both ends by six-side J pyramids. These last, of course, must be lound loose, or, at least, not adhering to any rock. Those which are broken off have necessarily only one pyramid." Beyond Plum's Point ls Dunham's Bay, where some say Coloael Brown landed after J bis defeat at Diamond Island. Coe mile be youd are the Three Sisters, thouarh but two islands are now to be seen; and a Utile way] east ls L >ng Island, where Rodgers camped one winter's Dight In 1758, after having been defeated by tbe French. In the bay, further to the right, is the hotel called "Trout Pavil? ion," a great resort of those who are food of floe fish. AB we pass on to Bolton, which is tea miles from Caldwell, we leave on the west side the islands the Three Brothers. To the right Is a large and heavily wooded Island, called Dome Island, on account of Its resem? blance to a dome. West of Dome Island ls Recluse Island, ? lovely spot, commanding a fine view of the lake la all directions. This island ls now owned by Rufus Wattles, Esq., ot New York, who bas erected anon lt a very aloe private residence, and lt ls the only one I saw on the islands of the lake. THE NARROWS. But time and space foll me to particularize all the incidents and historical tacts connected with these Islands. I, therefore, can only name them as we paes along. The next, is Sloop or Ship Island, the next ls Bolton Vil? lage, where the Minnehaha stopped to take In passengers. Tbe next is Fourteen-Mile Island, the next Green leland, then Hog Island, and then we come to Tongue Mountain, which, for a d', stance of six miles, forms the east side of Northwest Bay. As we approach Fourteen-Mile Island, we get a first view of | wbit is called the Narrows. At tbls point the sides of the lake approach each other, and the space between ls neatly filled up with clusters of islands of various shapes aaa Blzes, so that { the steamer is. obliged to wind carefully through. At a distance no passage can be j seen, and the Islands, covered with foliage, resemble a tongue of land, stretching across the lake, forming, what appeared to me, as aa Impassable barrier. At first, I . looked lo vain for a passage through, but on a nearer ap? proach, the passage widened and the little rifts In the woods, here and there, opened like celestial gates. Then "The shaggy monad no longer stood Emerging from entangled wood. But, wavd-enclrcled. seemed to floa\ Like castle girded with its moat. Yet broader floods extending still Divide them irom the parent hill, Tili each, retiring, claims to be An Inlet in an island sea." THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN" ON THE LAKE LOOMS Ce. The next islands are the Hen and Chickens and Flea Island. Passing through the Nar? rows, we fiad ourselves In tbe very heart of the lake and surrounded on every side by scenes that delight the eye. Block Mountain, the highest mountain upon the lake, looms up directly before us. According to barometrical calculations, lt Is 2878 feet above tide- waler. It ls banded around Its sides with alteraste fines of maple, pine and birch, which thin out by degrees as they rise, until, two-thirds of j the way up, the bare rocks chiefly appear, sentinelled here and there by a lew dead trunks, while the top of the mountain stands oat completely divested of verdure, and dark, threatening and bare. Around Its scarred and rilled sides, often swept by fire, we see the work of time and weather, which "Down the lake, tn masses, threw Crags, knolls and moonda, confusedly hurl'd, The fragments of an earlier world." AN INTERESTING ANECDOTE OF RODGERS, THE RANGER. The next Islands are Hatchet Island, Half Way Island, Floating Battery leland, Harbor Island, Vicar's Island, Sabbath Day Point, Odell Islands, (a cluster,) Cook's leland and then Rodger's Slide. This latter ls a steep, smooth precipice of naked rock, Inclining at a sharp angle, In the face of the motin tains. At J ihe foot the water ls quite deep. It received Its present name, lt ls alleged, from the fact lhat Rodgers, the Ranger, was once surprised by the Indians and made his escape on the Ice. The story runs as follows: In ihe winter of 1758 Rodgers was surprised by some In? dians while out on a scout and put to flight. Shod with snow shoes, he eluded pursuit, and coming to ihls spot saved his life by aa la-1 genlous device. Descending the mountain until he came to the edge of the precipice, he threw his haversack down upon the ice, un? buckled bis scow shoes, and without moving them, turned himself about, and put them on his leet again, with the heels In front. He then retreated the way he came until he reached the southern brow of ihe rock, where he found a ravine, down which he escaped and sped away on the Ice towards Fort George. The Indians in the meanwhile came to the spot and seeing the double set of tracks, concluded that they were made by two J persons who had .thrown themselves down [ the cliff rather than to fall into their hands. Bat on looking about, they saw Rodgers die appearing In the distance on the Ice, and be? lieving that he slid down the cliff, concluded that lie was under the special protection ol the Great Spirit and gave up the chase. Rodgers was a New Hampshire man whose brutal character is illustrated by his deeds. Alter the French war, be went to England, and, while there, dined la company with some officers, who agreed, over their wine, that the person who could tell the greatest falsehood should have his bill paid by the others. When Rodgere's tura came, he told the company that his father was shot by a friend, who mis? took him for a bear; that his mother was fol? lowed in the snow, on a stormy day, by a hunt? er, who supposed he was following the track of a panther; and that, when a Bmall boy, he travelled on foot In the woods ten mileB with birch brooms on his shoulder, having nothing to guide him but marks on the trees. Judg? ment was at once uproariously given In his favor by the company. But, as I am already more lengihythanl anticipated, I must desist, thoueh I had made notes of many other points of interest The lake is about thirty-four miles In lengih; Hie greatest depth ls two hundred feet; the great? est width ls four miles, and Its elevation above the sea Is two hundred and forty feet. I ad? vise all travellers who come anywhere near this beautiful lake to go and see lt by all means. It must be seen to be appreciated The pen cannot describe lt The thermome? ter is down to sixty, and the blankets are necessary to sleep comfortably at night S"! A. M.
