The Historical Association.

An interesting account of the recent
session OF the Historical Association in
Washington city is related in the editorial
columns of the Washington Republican of
the seth of April, in which Maj. JEDI
Hotchkiss was a prominent figure. 1t is
as follows
with the proceedings of last night the
third annual meeting of this association
came to an end. The society may be con-
graduated upon having achieved a distinct
success in the line of investigation marked
out. A careful attendance at many of the
sessions has demonstrated that the mem
bers who had been appointed to read
papers kept to their texts with a stronger
conscientious feeling than usually actuates
many of those who have the honor to
belong o ascientille or any form of learned
society. This desirable result may have
been due partly to the necessity of keeping
constantly before ones eyes the fact that
Hon. George Bancroft is president, and
allows no deputy to perform his duties.
This distinguished historian kept the ball
of paper--reading in a constant roll He
rarely, only indeed under very peculiar
circumstances. allowed discussion, and
Immediately upon the conclusion of one
paper he jumped up and announced in
concise, sharp terms that "short paper
would now be read by Mr., -" And it
seems a very reasonable conclusion that
the person who has gone to the trouble of
preparing paper for such society as the
Historical should know more about the
subject than those who, under sudden
inspiration, rise to discuss it.
ssMr. Bancroft took a lively interest
all the papers, and they were all worthy
of attention for other reasons as we'll as
| common with Cleopatra-th infinite

cannot overlook: Yesterday forenoon
Major Hotchkiss, of Staunton. Va, de-

| illustrated on the blackboard, and with a
running commentary that was very anus

! Stonewall Jackson, owing to his superior
knowledge of topography, was enabled to

1.-The whole story was told in vivacious
style, with now and then scraps of poetry
in memory of some great leader. At tae
conclusion Mr.. Bancroft rushed forward to
the major, caught him with both hands,
ana it was interesting to think that the
historian was congratulating gentleman
who had just explained how badly some
northern generals had ''been left. y

his past exhibitions nothing more remains

How to Build Up a Cftv.

Col. d. F. Houston, of Roanoke. ar
rived in Staunton last week, and favored
us with call. In conversation with him.
we learned that Roanoke had an encour-
aging prospect before it., and the promise
Of more active and enlarged business op-
erations than at any time in its history.
One secret of the success and progression
that city, Col. Houston said, was the fact
that every available dollar of it's citizens
was invested in enterprises for the benefit
of the place-that every project that had
merit in it was taken hold of and worked
for all it had in it, and no suggestion was
disregarded which could contribute to the
growth and prosperity Of the CITY, We
could not help, IN our mind, drawing a
contrast between the action, enterprise
and work of the people of Roanoke and
those of Staunton. There the capital of
the citizens is invested in public and pri-
yate enterprises, which give employment
to labor; in the manufacture of some
thing to sell, that brings money into the
city: that enables workmen to build
houses, in which to live, or pay reasona-
BILE rent for houses furnished them. What
labor brings in this way is disseminated
through all the channels of trade and eve
~ branch of business made thus to realize
the benefits. In Staunton it is quite diff
ferent. Naturally no location in the State
is better adapted for manufactures. We
have rail communications in every direc.
| tion-a rich agricultural section to fur
nish supplies cheap-schools, churches,
and everything but the investment of the
means. to constitute centre for enlarged
manufacturing endeavors. But our men
of means prefer bank, insurance, OF build
ing association stocks curb stone broker
age or the erection of costly business
houses. which are really not needed, for at
this time we have number of excellent
store rooms empty. If the surplus CAPT
tai which we have were invested in some
useful manufacturing line, which would
! give employment to labor, the effect would
soon be seen in increased activity in bust
ness, a demand for dwellings,, as we'll as
vacant store rooms, live market for the
product Of the farm, and great reviya
of trade and increase of prosperity gener
ally. We want manifested the spirit that
gives life to Roanoke-the spirit of venture
in useful enterprises, by which others than
the capitalist would be rewarded, and the
whole community share in the results
That is the way to build up a city. 1t is
the only way that Staunton can be dragged
out of the old ruts and made to perform a
good commensurate W it'll her natural ad.
