WEDNESDAY,, JULY goth, 1891.
Encouraging Prospects.

The Financial Bulletin, dated July 25th,
issued by Henry Clews s. Co., of New York
city, says that sour agricultural crops, up
on which nearly one-half of our population
are directly dependent, afford upon the
whole a promise of unparalleled results.
The cotton crop seems likely to follow close
upon the great volume of that of last year.
The corn crop, 30 far, indicates result
beyond the average. And the output of
wheat ia likely to surpass all precedent.
What quantity of wheat we shall export, I
leave to others to predict; what quantity we
could export, leave to be inferred from
the fact that, during the year ending July
l, 1891, we exported 106,OOO,OO0 bushels
of wheat and -four, with crop of 400, 0OO,'
600 bushels, which was lao, coo, 900 bushels
less than the probable crop Of the present
year; from which it may be inferred THAT
our actual CAPACITY for export out of this
years crop will be considerably over 200,
100000 bushels, our highest previous ex-
port having been 1s6,OO0,OO0 bushels 10
1881. The average value of our annual
exports of wheat and -four, for the last
seven years, has been sos, 100000, the
average export price Producing the -four to
wheaD having been S7s cents per bushel
Should the exports out of this crop reach
200, 900, 600 bushels and the sexport price
average 81, the value of.our shipments in
1922 would exceed by $o2,0O0,0O0 the
average yearly shipments of the last seven
years. On this basis of valuation, the pre-
sent crop, estimated at $40, 900, 900 bushels,
would give to the farmers, millers, carriers
and handlers total result of $540, 000,0 900
against $372, 800, 900 as the value of last
years crop of 400, 900, OOe bushels, valued
at an average export price of 99.2 cents per
bushel. Results like these, upon our three
great crops, mean an invaluable boon to
our great agricultural industry and to all
other industries dependent upon it, the eff
fects of which cannot fail to be soon felt in
a marked revival of both our internal and
external commerce.
1t affords us pleasure to. publish such en-
oouinSins PlooPOolS AoA pAo Ah10hOoeo VI ouo
country generally, and for the farmers
more particularly. When agriculture is
profitable, and cur farmers are lucratively
compensated for their labor, all other
branches of industry and all classes of peo-
pie are benefited. With good crops, with
prospect of good prices, our farmers have
much to encourage them and they not only
deserve, but need it, for they have had
much in the last several years to discourage
them, and to render them dissatisfied with
their vacation, which is as honorable es it
is important and it is the most important,
because on it depends, not only all other
industries, but the very subsistence of man
in state of civiliz alton.

Gen. J. A. Early delivered at the I'M
yelling of Jackson's statue, July 21st, 1891,

achievements of jackson. He read closely
from his manuscript.
"We are assembled here,' he said, "for

THE sToNEwALL BRIGADE.


SIN 1851 he was appointed professor OF
natural philosophy and artillery tactics in
the Military Academy at this place Lex
ington, Va.) When the accession OF the
Southern States took place, and Abraham
Lincoln, in violation of the fundamental
provisions of the constitution and the eter'
nal principles of liberty, declared war
against the seeding States, Virginia took
her stand with her sister States of the
South, Major Jackson, like all true Vir-
einians, stood by his native State and de-
voted his energies and his life to her serv.
ice, His first act was to conduct the corps
of cadets to Richmond in the latter part OF
April for the purpose of drilling and in.
structing the volunteers who were being
mustered into the defense of the State,
under the supervision of General Lee. On
April 81 he was appointed by Governor
Letcher colonel in the Virginia forces and
ordered to take command of Harper's
Ferry, which had been abandoned by the
Federal authorities after attempting to de-
stroy the stores and machinery at tia,
point. He found the place occupied by
militia and volunteers, of whom he took
command. A brigade was organized, and
Colonel jackson took command until re-
lieved by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, who
was assigned to the command in the latter
part Of May. Very soon thereafter q
brigade of Virginia regiments was formed
and Colonel Jackson assigned to its COM
mand. This was the brigade that after.
ward became distinguished as the Stone
wall Brigade On the Itch of June he
was commissioned brigadier general in
the Confederate service, but still remained
under the command of Gen. Joseph E.
Johnston. About this time Harper's Ferry
was evacuated by General Johnston, as
Patterson was moving with considerable
force from the North, and Mcclellan was
represented as moving from the West to
unite with him. After some maneuvering
of the troops under General Johnston,
which had organized into four brigades,
commended, respectively, by Generals
jackson, Bee, Barlow and Colonel Elzsy.
General Jackson had been fighting with a
part of Patterson's army near Falling
Waters on the second of July. This was
his first engagement; the first radiance OF
that dazzling star hat was destined ere
long to loom in the zenith of the military
armament. Only very small portion OF
his force was engaged, though Patterson
reported that be had 'repuised TO- OU
rebels Jackson's loss was much lighter
than that NJ the enemy
