i SWINGS BANK We have heretofore called
Alteration to the necessity of establishing SAY.
ines Bank in this city. There is no institution
which effects more universal good It is Place
of deposit for small amounts, weekly, which, in
the course CT time, accumulate into handsome
fund, accruing from dribs that would otherwise
be unprohtably spent It would especially be
advantageous to the laboring class, not one Of
whom, scarcely. could not spare from his week
" earnings rs, SO or 100 cents to lay away in
this safe depository. In times past, such an in
stitution flourished in our midst. 1t was not
only place to sa0e money, butt was an accom-
mediation to q class of men, who so metlmes de-
sired to borrow small amounts, and who could
always do so without begging or mourning incon-
venience There is ample material in our midst
to build up a Bank of this kind to large proper
tions, and make it public benefaction. Money
now virtually thrown away could be placed in
such an institution, and in the course Of a year
amount to sufficient to make payment on lot,
or contribute to the erection Of a house. Some-
time since q subscription wassstarted to lnaugu
rate such a project, but of late we have heard
nothing of it. II some of our public spirited
men will take hold of it, we believe enough stock
would be taken in two weeks to put the Bank in
operation Every one knows and will acknowl-
edge the benefits to be derived from 1T, and We
doubt not quick and lively interest would be
manifested in it at once, if the proper steps were
instituted
We hope the suggestion will be earnestly act
ed upon Our city is filling up with a class OF
men. who of all others. should take an interest
in it. In q short time. large addition to the
mechanics and artizans of Staunton will be made.
The workshops will bring here many who would
be anxious to deposit portion of their weekly
earnings in an intcrest-paying institution and IN
short time prosperous and paying Bank could
be operated.

1t is rather amusing to notice the figures ofthc
Greeley journals, since the October elections,
working out Greeleys election. We do not care
to reproduce them. We content ourself with the
general remark that he will be the worse beaten
candidate that ever ran for the Presidency. We
are satisfied he will not carry four States, and
would lot be surprised if he did not carry over
two His own State, N. York, will give maj orr
ty of 10000 against him. We regard Virginia
as in doubt. We predicted that the endorsement
of Greeley by the Baltimore Convention would
give this State to the Republicans in November.
We will not be far out of the way when the vote
is counted. The people will reflect fer long
time before they VIII consent to cast their votes
for such a malignant defamer Of the Democratic
party and the South as Horace Greeley. There
he has not the requisite qualifications to rule
great country like This; and if it were possible
to elect him, his hands would be tied, for he
would have against him o decided maj ority IN
both the Senate and House of Representatives.
probably q two thirds majority in the lower
House. They would despise him as . political
traitor-embarrass him more than they would q
str2ig out democrat, and make his administra-
ton disgraceful failure. The South would have
to suffer ior it, as ii did in Andy Johnsons fight
with Congress but there is no danger Of such a
deplorsble contingency. There is no chance of
his election, and we may look forward hopefully
to the next administration fer solid. enduring
peace and prosperity for Virginia and the South
ern States, such as Greeley would be incapable of
giving even could he be cheated.

AN IMPORTANT ENTERPRIsE.-We understand
that Mr.. B. T. Jordan, of Rockbridge, an expe>

company to establish Furnace near Waynes-

the base of South Mountain in inexhaustible
quantities have attracted the attention of Mr..
Jordan, and he is now taking active steps to or
ganize a company for the purpose stated above.
The capital necessary to purchase the land and
erect the Furnace will be about $4,000, which :,
we learn there will be no difficulty in raising
We regard this an important enterprise, and
hope that it will be speedily pushed forward to
