The following letter was sent this afternoon to Judge Fisher, district attorney, by Judge Robinson, acting solicitor of the Treasury de- partment : “* T enclose herewith copy of the evidence and report submitted to the department in the mat- ter of an investigation instituted by the Secre- tury of the Treasury touching the causes of the burning, x the 8th of August, 1873, of the steamer Wawaset. You are hereby instructed to institute the necessary suits against any and all persons who have in your opinion incurred a penalty or for- feiture growing out of the navigation or de- struction of this vessel, and for the enforcement of which the United States can be made a party or is interested. It 1s not the duty of this office to instruct you in regard to the institution of any criminal pro- coedlngs in the premises. The institation of such proceedings is a matter which must be left te your own discretion, in view of the evi- dence submitted.

The village is seme three miles from the lake, and the gangway was hardly ashore before a stampede ensued for the or which were Nag stationed about hall a mile up the hill. While passing throngh the narrow channel we observe: the water receding from its usual level, reaching a point at least twenty inches below, its greatest depression being about amidships, caused, I presume, by the displacement of water by the boat and pad die wheels. A few heifers were standing in the water, and chewing the cud of contentment, as the boat passed. Suddenly one of them ob served the shallowness of the water, soon after the fact that none existed wh was betore upto her knees. She uncasily moved around, and placed her nose to the muddy bot tom.

The road passes down the banks of the river, affording a fine view of the rapids, the whirlpool and the precipitous banks by which the water is confined to its channel. ne is for- cibly reminded of the perils experienced by the brave Robinson, who is to the falls what Ida Lewis is to Newport, when he successfully con- ducted the Maid of the Mist from the foot of the falls to Lake Ontario. It will be remembered that this little vessel was constracted at the falls to carry venturesome people into the very SPRAY AND SEETHING FOAM at their base, and frequently ventured so close that a portion of the boat was hidden by the mist from the sight of those on shore. The speculation proved a losing one, and she was sold, conditioned upon her safe delivery at Lewiston. Robinson, who, by his rescue of a number of persons from death and his perilous fests above the falls has acquired a national fame, was employed to navigate the vessel, which he did safely, having passed over a por- tion of the distance at the rate of twenty-five THE RUTLAND MARBLE QUARRIES. At Whitehall we diverged to Rutland, Ver- mont, acityof marble, il, to a considerable marble city, that article being exten- sively quarried in the vicinity. There are ten companies engaged in the business, and more than a million dollars’ worth of the rough stone Was quarried last year. Some of the veins have been followed to depth of 300 feet. This trade affords employment toa large number of peo- ple, and constitutes the wealth of the city.

From Lewiston to Toronto is a pleasant four hours’ ride across the lake. Approaching the wharf, we observed a handsome man with mut- ton chop whiskers, in a blue cloth uniform, with a helmet-shaped hat, something like those worn by the Prussian army, surmounted by a small plume; his sleeves and shoulders orna- mented; chin-strap down, and with a com- manding military air. We wondered who he could be, and concluded he must be an im portant custom-house officer, and were con firmed in this belief by our impression that offi cers of the British civil service are uniformed. We were content in our wisdom, until he tarned around, when what did we see but the familiar baton! Hewasa policeman! We are now of the opinion that polished shoes, white gloves and evidence of discipline would not be a bad thing for our police. DOWN THE ST. LAWRENCE. At Toronto we were transferred to a vessel of Business required us to call upon a person whose residence was given as in Mendon, Ver- mont. Upon the map, Mendon is a village some four miles distant from Rutland; but upon in- quits we ascertained that this Eee of Men- lon is known as the “city of Mendon,” while Mendon proper is some eight or ten miles square, being a sub-division of a county.similar to what is known in the west as a township. By usage this sub-division becomes known as (ast Mendon, West Mendon, &c., and you may go to Mendon and still be many miles from the ol ject of your search. Such was our experience. hile at Rutland a reunion of Vermont vol- unteers was taking place. Their jollity extend- ed throughout the night, and was not conta- gions. We speak from cxperience, for we re mained awake, necessarily, and did not feel a bit humorous. RUTLAND VERSUS SARATOGA HOTELS. From an extensive acquaintance with hotels, east, west and south, we claim the right to ex- press an opinion, and that is, that the Berwick hotel at Rutland has the best table, the clean- est rooms, tho handsomest ladies—yes, ladies in the dining-room as waitresses—and ‘the most obliging gentlemen in the office that vou wiil find anywhere, for $2 per day.

As we left, “Big Hill Joe,” chief of the Osages, was juietly awaiting the result, caring little about fe He would rather fight than not, and is a brave chief, well educated, (he was ten years at a Catholic college,) and has 800 brave and fear- less warriers, well mounted and armed. He says he don’t fear ‘God norman.” There is no doubt but he would have made it lively for us. A big Indian pow-wow is going on at Fort Sill, about Satanta and Big Tree. 1 hope Governor Davis, of Texas, will not release them, for just ‘as soon as he does trouble will commence on the frontier again, and of course away goes the cavalry after them. Our present post is a pleasant one, but I am afraid if Big Tree and Satanta are released we wont have much use for | pminraeary posts or quarters, but take ours in the open air the remainder ef the summer, and perhaps @ part of the winter.” [y REPLY toa question submitted to him, the Acting Solicitor of the Treasury department bas decided that a Canadian steamer cannot take excursion parties from an American port to Canadian ports, even if she travel partly in Canadian waters, or touch at American ports with such an excusion, without first comp! ying with the act of 1793.

Their enlisted men are good enough material if they were drilled, but their officers are a worthless set, being possessed of little education and less honor. The infantry use muzzle-loaded gans, and the field batteries are composed chiefly of smooth bores. The Mexican army was improved in the Maximilian campaigns, but it is not a great deal better than it was in the Mexican war, and itcould not now make as good a fight against us. with our improved arms, as it did from Rutland to Saratoga by rail, and remained at that delightful and fashionable resort just long enough to avoid declaring ourselves insol- vent. ‘They are commodieus, comfortable vessels, but are not elegant in fimsh.

Tue St Lawrence is ABLE.—The Commissioner of Indian Affairs yesterday received a letter from Fort Sill, writ- ten August 2ist, one day later than the reported massacre, from J. M.
