permanent measure of relief. The above-named
will make bankrupt business speciality; will
procure discharges on the most moderate terms,

the different counties on court days, and thus
save parties the trouble and expense OF several
trips 10 Alexandria in beginning and proceeding
with their cases. Discharges can be obtained
here before Register Hill as promptly as in Rich
mond or elsewhere, and at much less expense to

Rochester said of Charles IT,

that,
Gle never said a foolish thing,
And mover did wise one"
1t was Il poor compliment at
best, and so Charles thought !;
but poor as it may have been, we
have ruler who deserves still
less favor. He has said many
foolish things, and this, from his
thanksgiving proclamation, is one
of them:
If some of us have had calam-
tiles, these should be occasion
for sympathy with the sufferers,
and resignation on their part to
the will of the Most High, and
rejoicing by tho many who have
been more favored.
That is TO say, tho sufferers
must sympathize with themselves
and be resigned, and the many
whos have not suffered must re-
joice! Now, that sounds like
business, but what sort of reli-
gion is it2 Isn't it Puritanism
all over?

that he stood not upon the order of re-

All, Simeon, do you mind the
time when you were playing
Confederate soldier in Holmes
County, Miss, in 1867 And do
you remember the poor widow
the briefless attorney from Win
field Chat was you, Simeon)
wanted to marry-her and her
small store Of earthly goods7
Don't You remember telling them
there you knew us, and spoke of
us as a friend for years, when, in
fact, we never met and never
parted7 Did you ever hear, old
fellow, that we were 10th to COM
mend your suit to the poor
widow of Holmes County, hav-
ing never heard of the amazing
lucrativeness of your practice in
Winn parish And how came
your suit out, Simeon Confess
it, Simeon, you were only trying
your little wings then, preparato-
ry for the grand fight you have
since taken! But have a care
how you use your fine feathers,
and occasionally take retro
spect of the good old times now
gone forever. In this retrospect,
let the rustic grace and confiding
simplicity of the poor widow of
Holmes County have place.
You were only Il common private
then, and a very common one at
that, but she smiled at your at
tempted witticisms and halfway
felt she might rely upon you.
If diamonds blaze upon your
shirt front and you are prosper
GUS, Simeon, it was not thus
when you carried a Confederate
musket and talked love to the
widow in Holmes, nor with any
of us who have remained true to
tho past.

TRANSFERRED in the interval continuing
until Capt. Hotchkiss was taken upon
the staff of the lamented Cleburne,
who recognized in the dark flashing
eye of the youthful Captain and in his
extraordinary sclf-posscssion, the i'm
prints of military genius; and that
sturdy old hero, the Stonewall Jackson
of the SOUTHWEST whose blows We're
those of a giant and who never struck
a blow that was not fatal, made Capt.
Hotchkiss his Chief of Ordinance with
the rank of Major.
How Major Hotchkiss discharged
his perilous duties we should never
have learned from him, for he was a
man as modest as he was meritorious !;
but fortunately we have other sources
of information. Maj. J. w. Green,
Gen. Hardee's Chief Engineer, in
forms us that Mt Murfreesboro and at
Kennesaw Mountain he witnessed the
conduct of Major Hotchkiss under fire,
and he thinks no never saw such i'm
perturbable GOODNESS and bravery in
his life. At Kennesaw, being i'll COM
mand of the artillery of Cleburne's
Division, as he was also at Murfrees-
boro', Maj. Hotchkiss was required to
check Il sudden advance of the enemy.
He posted two or three guns on bald
hill, under close fire of the enemy,
set them to work, and took his posi-
ton among the men. Other guns |
wrrc brought up, while shells, canister
and rifle balls We're dealing out death
on every hand, until three batteries
were in position and responding to the
eneny's fire. The man without fear
