Written for the Baxner. BATriiNKILI, Olt ONDAWA, AND SAN COIK. UY QEOROE W. IIARMAX. In your issue of Oth June, 18S7, i3 nn Item headcd "Manchester," respecting a change from "Battenkill" to "Ondawa" of the name of tho stream which, start iag from ita several headn in Dorset nnd Peru near the sunimit of the water sheii between Lake Champlain nnd the Iiay of New York, flows aoutherly and west- erly to the State of New Yotk and then northerly and wenterly into the Hudson River near Schuylerville. Appended to the item are coniea, flrst from tho facile pen of Charles Ilallock that "Ondawa is the baptismal Indian "name" and "Battenkill from the name "of a Dutchman who once ehantied on "its banks;" second from a contribution to the press by tbat distinguished arch- toologist, the Ilon. Jamea Gibson, of Sa lem. N. Y., in which he BUggests the Dutch word "baten,"siznifyiug fertiliz lng, combined with "kill," meaning i stream, as tho origin of the modern name in Dutch; and tho Enghsli word "batten," signifying to fatten, or to fer- tilize, as tbe origin of the same name in Engllsh. Judge Gibson also says that the preaent name or the stream is said to have been derived from ono Bartliolo mew who lired on ita Lunks; and waa gradually ehortenedintoHatts; and that a "churcli at Ureenwich was long called "tho 'Batta KillChurch';" but he thinks the name could not have been derived from Bartholomew. I should heaitate longbefore calling in quostion the conclusions of my learned frieud. Still.I must say tliat, the transi tion from Bartholomew through Bart to Batt is quite easy and in harmony with the shortening of numerous words by elimlnating tho r. Every one, by a lit tle reflection, can call to mind inatauceB of thekind; liko that of a well known gentleman in thisregion.whosochristian name bcing Marcus, is never, when both syllables aro not pronounced, called oth' crwise than Mac, Judge Benson, in liis work upon the nauies of places, saya that the stream in que8tion waa nanied from the christian name of Bartholomew Van Ilogeboom, first settler abovo Stillwater. On the other hand it 13 claimed that the stream was named from ono Botts, who lived Bomewhero in its neighborhood; and it is true that the church beforo referred to was called "Hottskill Church;" and the writing of its name "Battskill,'' by Judge Gibson was, as he says, u mistake, It is probable that the Du'ch bestowed upon tho stream which before had been known as Ondawa, the name, llattcnkitl; iu the flrst syllable of which, the English tonguo, following the Dutch pronouncia tion, gave the broad aound of ct eo nearly like 0 ns to be mistakou for it and so Battskill became Bottskill. I have known several people who pronounced the present name of the stream as i( written Bottenkill. I do not think.bow ever, that the English had anything to do with bestowing this name upon thu stream; but took the name prcviously given by the Dutch nnd pronounced it as best they could. If they had searchcd their dictionaries to flnd an appropriate name and had decided to call it Batten, bardly would they have compounded the English vcrb with the Dutch noun, kil. My theory of the nomenclature of this stream is this : The Indians, pcrhaps of the Mahican nation, passing up tho Mahicanituck, (Hudson,) came to a tributary stream ol no mean proportions, ilowing between hills and rocks,in allusion to which, they called it Ti-on-cen-do-gah-e; and to the falls upon it near the placo now called Galesville they gavo the name Di on on dah o ira, otherwise, Di on on-dc ho ire Following up the stream, or, perhaps, approaching it at another time, from the eouth, by a route lying nearer to the mountaina on their right, they found it in the vicinity of what now is Cam bridge, just cmerged from the passes of the IoftyTaghkanick range,and bestowed upon it Ihe name Oii-(fa-U'ct,pronounced On da-xcah, or On-dah-u-ah; though I think the former the correct mode; meaning "Flowing from tho moun tains;" a near approach to the meaning of tho name flrst given. So carly as 1G87, the eiteof the present village of Schuylerville was called Ser achtague, wliich by ita more modern name of Saratoga, is eaid to signify 'Swift water;" which exists in that lo cality. Subaequently, tho Saratoga Pa terit waa issued, comprising tha present towns of Saratoga and Sjratoga Springs west of the Hudson nnd Easton east of it. Tiio atream wbose name ia in ques- tion conatituted tho northern boundary of tbat patent, east of the Hudson, and came to be called Saratoga River. In my judgment.this namo was not npplied to thia stream by the Indians, but by tho English, induced thereto by its proximi ty to tho Saratoga Fatcnt, At what time it waa thus first appllcd, I am unablo to say. In May, 1719, Capt. Eleazer Melven, rcturning from a scnut to Lake Cham plain, in passing from what isnow North Dorset village, southeasterly, over tho Green Mountain to the West River, crossed several streains which he, in his journal says, ho "aupposcd to be the "bead of the Sarratogo river." Judge Gibjon tells us that, "the colo - ' 'ny of New York early granted the "landa on the south bank of this stream "to Dutch people cxclusivcly. The pat "cnteea, or their grantees of tho same "race.and speaking the Dutch language. "entered upon the occupation of these "lands beforo August,1745.?" This being so, tbero would seem to be no doubt that tbe Dutch, alone, bestowed upon the Btream tho name of Battcnkil; but at what precise time, may never be ascer tained. Tbis, its now name, had not reached Capt. Melven, in 1743. In tho State Llbrary ac Montpelier in an English ullas of the British posses aiona in America after the peace with France, of 1703. and upon two of thu maps thia stream is called "Batlcn Kill; and I am not aware of its having been otherwise designatcd, since then, until somewhat recently, tho old and very eig nificent name of On-da-wa haa again been appiied to it, though it haa not come into general uso. The lover of the beautiful, the rnmantic.and tho historic, would desire that it might. Kindred to this eubject is tbat of the small stream which runa from White Creek and dischargea into tbe Walloom aack just below tho village of North Hooaick. In the year 1C09, .Samuel Champlain discovcred the lake which btars his name. After that time, but how soon, I have been unable to ascertain, Frencb Jesuit missionarics, seeing that the U'ui lomschock, as the Indians called it, join ed with tbe lloosick, nearly at right an gles, and that tho small stream referred to joined with tho former at an ungle of about forty.five degrees.thus forming two resemblancea to their sacrcd cm blem, npplied to the small stream and to the circumjacent territory tho local ues- ignation of Saint Croix stgnifylcg Uoly Cross, I bave the authority of I'rof. A. L. Perry, of Williams, who has expended much research upon the ar chtoology of the Hooaick valley, for say. ing tbat thia name waa "appiied to both 'banks of tbe Walloomeack. from. the lleld ot tho lirst lialtlo of iiennington 'to tho mouth of the Walloomsuck, and 'then along the north bank of the lloo 'sick as far as Englo Bridge. The name 'gradually cnntracted from tbeso ex 'tremo limits to the neighborhood of 'the present North lloosick, tho old mill "on Little White Creek, and just about there." The French pronounciation of this name was San Croi and when in later years, the English came into tho possession of the country, probably they pronounced it Ss.n Croiks, which, by dropping the llpal s and elimlnating the r became San Coifc. The locality is designated under the following spcllinga. On each of the two maps before memtloned, in dates rong ing between 1702 and 1770, appears the namo "Sanhick Fall." In "The Vision 'of Junua. the Benningtonite" from the Connecticut Courant of Sept. S2, 1772.its inhabitanta are called "Saintcoichitea." On 13th Aug't, 1777, Jonas Fay, Vice President of the Vermont Council of Sifety, writesit "St. Koik." Aug't 14, 1777, Lieut. Col. Bauni, in his dispatch to Gen. Burgoync. spells it "SancoicK." And on Aug't 10, 1777, Puul Spooner, D. Sec'y of the Council of Safety, in on or der to Col. John Williams, spells it "St. Cork." While L'euf. Gllcb, an offlcer under Bautn, in his account of the bat tle, spells it "Sankoik" and "Sankoick;" Col. Breyman, in his account of tbe af fair,tpelli it "St. Coyk;" and General Burgoyne, in hia letter to Lord George Germaine, writes of "a place called San "coix Mills." It ia probable that, in all these inslances, tbe epelling was phone tio; each one cnmposing the name with letters expressive of tho eound as it fell upon tho writer's ear, Notwithstanding thaso mutations, the little stream still retainantuong its many names, its original of Saint Croix pro nunced according to the taste or fkill of tbe speaker. Tho old mill, which Ilaum capturcd with its storcs of grain nnd flour, is now standing and in activc ue; and the sur rounding hamlet is called by ita French namo, or by the suggeativo sobriquet of "DubUn."

And now, tho question arisea.whether the name of this emall stream and of the locality is ot Indian or French origin. In the Iudian compound furnished by my learned frieud are lcttcrs and sounda enough to form tho name by which tho territory involved has gonerally been called; Sancoik: but it would seoin that all the variations in the orthography and pronunclation of tho name aro but corruptions of or aro derived from tho orignal French Saint Croix. Saintwick, Sintvyck, and Sanhick, unquestionably, ate mero variations of the same word, In tho flrst, the pure French spelllng, and in tho third, its pronuuciation, are preserved in their first syllables ; and in the second word of tho trio, a chango from the original U found similar to that made from Saint Clair which we observe in Slnclair, Sin clear and Sinkuier. Tho termination "wiek" In one, and "vyck" in another, aro supposod to be derived from tho Teutonlo "ink." tcyck," "wich," 'icick," 'veilts," or vik," Bignifying an lnlet or bay, and the "hick" found on the maps must be a cnrruption of the others. At the con- fluence of tho Saint Croix with the Wal loomsack is a small inlet made by a re versal in thecurrent of a portion of tho Iarger stream by reason of the influx of tho smaller. Whether this Teutonic termination, or its English derivation icich," or "icick," 8ignifying a village or a street, was subatituted by Dutch or English residents of the vicinity may bo conjectural. And it 13 a noteworthy clrcumstanco that a locality possessing much histoncal interest by reason of its connection with an important battle of tho American Revolution derived Its name from one ot two souicesso very remote from each other.

That a Republican tatber than a Democratic administratiou would be more likely to revise the revenue law and reduce revenues to therequirements oeceeoary for the support of the sover- mtnt, waa demonsttated by the chronic failuro of the Uouse of Representativea during tho controi or a Democratic ma jority ef ten iong yeara to pata any bill reduciiig revenue.

Tbo usual rcmedlcs, while they may rIvo tcraporary relief, are likely to do moro barra than good. What is needed is an Alterative and Illood-purifier. Ayer's Sarsaparllla is iticotniiarably the best.

A Good llluktratiou, The aingul.tr conte.ition of the free traders that the tarilT has no eilect upon wages is refuted, 08 regards iron and steel, Iiv a fact brought out bv John Jerrett'in the North Ainericin Ueview, that the waees paid to worknien 111 those branchcs of manufacture are reg ulatfd nn a sliding scale by the selnns pnce of the product. The free traders do not deny that a reduction of duty would be followed hy a reduction In the market price of the product; that being indeed. one of the chief ohjects which they have in view. But for 23 years ihe workmen In these induatnea have had their wages regulated by the selling pricof iron and steel. It fo'.lows, of courte, that a reduction in tlie i-ehing prlce, incident to a redu -ii m of duty, must be attended by a leduction in azes and ihis hy un immediate and inevitable proces, which no free trader can explain away. Anoihtr mteresling pjint is bn.ught out by Mr, Jarrett. viz , that the im- mene proms ot manuiaciurers 10 wnicu the President aludes exist only In llis Imap-inution. The price of a ton of good flbrom bariron in this country is $4t.4I( in England lt is 31 SU, orf'J.Ut less. But in this couniry the waces paid per ton in converiing plg Iron into bar iron ia about $12.74, the price of pig iron is $18, and the uiargin left to the minu facturer, for nnlenals. wear and tear, insurance, taxes, prollt, etc, is 10 70, In Rutland the wages paid per ton In converting pig iron into bir iron iionly $1.96; the price of pig iron is 11, and the manufacturer's uiargin 15 54 Thls comparison ehows that the American workman receives much more than the English in wages,. while the margin to the American minufacturer ia emaller than that which the English ht.s. This atatpment is strenzthencd by the further coniparisun of the wages of skilled and unskilltd Islwr in tne.-e inuusiries iu me twocountries. Commondav labor is now getting in England frotn43to72 cents per.uay. compareu wun i.u io i m here. l'uddleis are patu J.j m per ton in this country againsl 1 50 per ton in England; and heaters anu roners earn rom t wo to three times as niucn per aay in this country as tne same ciass oi worknien in Encland. .Slilloli'a Coimiinplloii cure.
