Sons of the Covenant.

From the Harrisonburg papers we learn the
following facts concerning the institution in
that place, on Sunday of last week, of the or
der of Bnai Birth, Sons Of the Covenant, by
VIM. Lovenstein, Esq, G. N. A, of this Dis
trict, assisted by Rev J. NJ Michaelbacker,
and Messrs NJ. S. Block, NJ Davis, jr., OF
Richmond. The new Lodge is known as EIah
Lodge No. 204, and is composed of Israelites
of Harrisonburg, Staunton and Charlottesville,
and is under the auspices of District Grand
Lodge No. s, whose headquarters are at Phila-
delphia. The District is composed of Penn
sylvania, Virginia. North and South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida, and in it are 1900 mem
bers. The Lodges Of the District have about
$4,000. 1t is beneficial and benevolent as
ISOLATION, and has connected with it an endow-
ment law, which provides for the payment of
$1,000 to the family of deceased member at
his death. About $50, 900 have been paid out
under this law the present year.
The Order of Bnai Birth has been in exis-
tence about 30 years, and is composed exclu-
sivey of Israelites.

How Would War Affect the South !?

eve can understand says the PETERSBURG
Daily Neocs, ''how the North may be benefited
by war, for it would open her workshops
kinde her fires, give employment to thousands
of her unemployed people, and enrich thou
sands of her manufacturers and SPECTATORS
as did our civil war. But what industries
would it advance In the South. what class Of
her people would it favor, and what markets
will our great staples of cotton, tobacco and
grain seek while our ports are blockaded? We
really ask our filibustering Southern cotempo-
raries for information on this subject, because
we we'll remember that, during our civil war,
these great Southern interests were made to
suffer disastrousy for four long years; and
the first gun fred now ON the ocean with Spain
would produce ideuticaly similar results, for
not cargo of our staples would ever find
transportation to market while the war con-
tinued. We cannot afford to buy Cuba at such
a cost and had better hoe more corn, hill more
tobacco and pick more cotton before we do
more than protect our national rights and
honor This is our opinion"

Narrow Gnage Railroad.

On Saturday week, the editor of the Old
Commonwealth in company with party Of
gentlemen, Including Directors, Contractors
aud members Of the Council Of Harrisonburg.
inspected the work done on the Narrow Guage
Railroad from Harrisonburg as far as Sangers-
vile. He says that all parties were agreeably
surprised at the great amount Of work done
at the practicability Of the route; at the small
cost of the work; and at the good and sub
stantial manner in which the work was done.
Work is being prosecuted on nearly the whole
line from that place to point above Sangers-
vile, distance of Is miles, and IL miles are
nearly completed nearly, that by the 10Th OF
next month the contractors expect to finish
and hand the work over Several of the sec
tons did not cost over 5000, and for distance
of two miles, beginning several miles above
Bridgewater, there is not cut nor fill Of more
than one foot. The whole work from Harri-
sonburg to the top of the mountain the High.
land line-twenty-nin miles, can be graded
for So, 500 per mile, making one of the cheap
est roads in the country. The line through
Highland county will be a very practicable one,
aud the Engineer, Mr.. o. Barrett, says that
the whole route to the coal and iron fields can
be graded at a very low figure

Views of Henry a. Wise.

Gov. Wise thinks the excitement 10 refer
ence to war with Spain is premature. He is
reported as saying:
Let us all wait to be better informed, and
for the action of our own Executive and Con-
gress By the time we have so waited, the
case will have been but niue days wonIer.
People who have fretted themselves into fren-
zy will, perhaps, when the whole facts are
known, and time is taken for cool reflection,
feel rather simple. Is it not time to stop all
flibustering? And, if Cuba is to be acquired,
will it not be we'll to obtain the good will Of
Spain and secure the key of the Antilles by
purchase rather than by arms? | would gladly
see the United States get that Golden
moy mora to the p State States s advise
keep the peace -

W ar not to be desired

War is always calamity, and we of thu
South need not now welcome one because o
any delusive hopes of lettering our condition
financial or otherwise. A conflict will put no
thing into our pocket. Northern spectators
quartermasters and commissaries, will of course
make money out of it, whilst We Of the Soutf
will have to pay the piper. The revenues o
the country will fall off, and we shall not BIZ
surprised to see the old tax on cotton revived
the tax on tobacco put up to the old maximum
and an advance made on the tax for manufac
turing and selling spirits. We don't want tx
pay any more taxes. which whilst they make
US poorer tend to build up shoddy 10 the North

HE NOVEMBER AGRICULTURAL REPORT. -
The November statistical report Of the depart
ment OF agriculture, now in press, makes show
ing for the corn product quite as unfavorable as
that which forecasted the short crop of 1863
The preliminary report of the aggregate guam
tity in that year indicated total of S74 ,O0O 600
of bushels, which was 900, OOO,0 900 less than the
estimate for the large crop of 1870; and the
present returns point to product of about $685.
100000 The estimate of last years crop Of
Illinois was I'll, 900, 900; the estimate of the
present crop is l32 100000. Only six States
show crop equal to last year, viz: Virginia,
Georgia, Florida, West Virginia, Oregon and
Rhode Island. The percentage of deficiency in
the principal corn-g growing section in comparison
with the total product of last year is as follows
Kentucky, A per cent; Ohio, IL Indiana %
Illinois, 80; Iowa, %; Missouri, 80; Kansas
81. The deficiency for New York is per cent
and for Pennsylvania l6. In most of the South
ern States the crop is smaller than that of las
year.

Money to Become Plenty.

The Lynchburg Vuginian expresses the
opinion shat, without some unforeseen event
such as foreign war, that would compel the
Government to enter the money market agair
as borrower, money must, in the course of 8
few months, be very plenty, and will be let, or
good securities, at low rates of interest. II
that case, would it not be better for those who
are boarding now, to invest in good security al
higher rate than they will be able to secure
when the locked-up currency shall be let loose
to seek investment. That time is surely coming
and we therefore advise those who have money
safely invested now, to let it remain while
those who are boarding all their surplus would
do much better to invest at once, in good secu-
rites, at present rates. We feel entirely salts
fed that time will demonstrate the correctness
Of this theory"

ANARKANsAs TRAGEDY.-On Monday week
at Fulton, Arkansas, one Pickett and two
brothers named Cassidy got into dispute a
bout game Of cards, when Pickett shot both
the Cassidys, killing one and seriously wound
ing the other. Pickett was arrested and start
ed overland for the county seat at Washington
in charge of an officer. A short distance from
Fulton he was shot from the brush and fell to
the ground. Leaving him for dead the officer
went for assistance, and On returning found that
Pickett had revived and was trying to escape,
though badly hurt. He was taken back to Full
ton, and on Tuesday put on the train to Wash
ington. A party of Irishmen endeavored to
stop the train and capture the prisoner for the
purpose of lynching him, but were deferred by
the officers. 1t is reported that Pickett died
Tuesday night.

A CAPITAL Joke
The New York Herald says:

Inc new 0rk HefGid says:
THE opinions gained upon the subject of the
invasion and conquest of Cuba may be sum-
married. as follows: The invading army should
consist of at least $4,000 men, chiefly if not
wholly volunteers. From considera-
lions of economy IN transportation, their
reader power of becoming acclimated the DOS
sibiiity OF withdrawing them from the country
with less disturbance to industry, and the op-
portunlty OF winning back their allegiance to
the flag, the volunteers should be taken prin-
cipaliy from the South"
Exactly But we wish to remark. as we did
at the commencement of the Modoc war: "We
wish 1t to be distinctly understood, before this
thing goes any further, that Captain Jack al
ways was our first choice for President" So,
now, we prefer to let all our neighbors under
stand that this is none of our funeral"
There are some things In Yankee character
we do admire, one is their childlike simplicity
and beautiful consideration for other peoples
feelings Therefore, the Herald, on the eve of
war with Spain, thinks first of "our Southern
brethren" and, lest our feelings should be
hurt hastens to invite us to the entertainment
The Heralds patriotism equals that of the
| well-kuown Union-shrieker who said he would
cheerfuly sacrifice the blood Of every relation
