Maj. N. H. Hotchkiss.

Perhaps no Railroad man under the grade
Of President is better known by fame and
sight especially in the Middle States, than the
gentleman whose name heads this article.
His Editorial Excursion of last Summer is
rememb bered as one Of the happiest conceptions
and most brilliant success. He is on better
terms with the Press-a kinsly power-tban
any man in our knowledge. In fact, he is a
sort of Prime Minister to this Autocrat.
His position as Travelling Agent of the York

treless energy and great TACT We do not hes
itate to say that we don't know who could "fill
his shoes" or wear his hat as the Freight Solic-

hand ofa friend. The representations Of his
route are made with interesting and pleasant
arguments, that rarely fail to convince the
shippers. He has wonderful art in getting

cess in this direction lies in a native endow-
ment Of quick perception Of the point" and
Of that open, manly. brusque, but honest state
meut Of his case. The lines he serves may be
congratulated in their choice Of a live agent.
Outside Of his Railroad business, Hotchkiss
deserves well of Virginia for his efforts to
spread through the North such information as
would invite the best class Of settlers to our
State. he is big immigration society 10 him

1t was certainly a hish-toned duel, and
was conducted with that dignity and decerunl
that might have been expected from the eml-
nsnt men who participated in it. The design
of Mr. Clay was to kill. Mr.. Randolph's en-
nifty would have been amply compensated by
moderate injury to his ensmy's legs. Neith-
sr accomplished his object, and each was con-
tented with the result. Such is homer when
estimated by the killing code.
The parties to this conflict and all who par
ticipated in it have long since gone to that ac-
count where mans courage, displayed at the
muzzlc of pistol in vindication Of his honor
counts for naught. There are but few per-
sons remaining here who have any personal
recollection of tho event. We have the old
landmarks, however, to recall most vividly
the time, the places, and the actors

house is occupied by private firm now, but
the timeworn counters and desks remain, and

From the Christian Union.
OCTOBER VIOLETS.

We stood in the edge Of the forest,
The friend of my heart and /,
Where the sunset glow OF the naples,
Met the sunset glow OF the sky.
The breath of the coming winter
Came down from the pine-clad hill;
Its shadow crept over the landscape,
And over our hearts its chill
We talked Of our sunny childhood,
Of hopes that long ago
We had watched with the opening blossoms
As lightly come and go.
The dreams of our early morning
Like the dew had passed away;
Our skies of gold and crimson
Had turned to leaden gray.
In the years that lay before us,
Half seen through the distant haze,
The winters grew drearily longer,
And briefer the summer days.
Like breath from the far-otf, Southland,
Came a fragrance faint and sweet,
And behold blue violets nestled
Low down in the grass at our feet.
As brightly they bloomed in their beauty,
AT the close of this autumn day,
AS when they were tenderly folded
In the blossomy arms OF May.
Then one to the other spoke softly:
80 friend, let our grievings cease
Let us take to our hearts with gladDess
This message of light and peace.
Let us lift our ewes to the future
With a steady, trustful gaze,
For violets still are waiting
To bloom in October days"
