NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, captured. General Sheridan says, “Bismarck is the greatest man in Europe bya long way, and he is every inch a soldier, too;” and his strategy with the Paris Commune justifies this opinion, & Colonel Fisk and the Bostonians. The good old Puritans of the Hub are ina towering raze of virtue, all on account of that graceless scamp, Fisk. He wants to parade through Boston streets on Sunday, and they won't let him, whereupon he pretends that his chief desire was to have regimental prayer in Boston Common, and so throws the blame of persecution upon the devoted Puritans. Of course he will finaily get some place to pray (even Fisk should never be in need of that), and the holy Christians of Boston will have bis prayers thrown at their heads for the next year to come. These good old Puritans, no doubt, have an idea that the Ninth regiment is composed mainly of its colonel, a harlequin or two, a female drum corps and a half-dozen lawyers, the rank and file being chiefly made up of ballet girls, They have heard enough to war- rant such an idea, and we do not wonder at their protest against public worship by such heterogeneous iniquity in the consecrated Common. The crusade against Salem witch- craft was inaugurated under less provocation than is represented in this duplicate desecra- tion of Sunday and the froz pond. The mere presence of so sinful a regiment and so irre- claimable a colonel must have kept the sainily soul of Boston in a con- tinual tremor, and when these evil doers from dreadful New York actually threaten to flaunt their unseemly banners in the light of the Lord’s own day, and roll their ungodly drums and raise their unholy voices in impious praise of the Boston Jehovah, and that, too, under the very shadow of the old oak of liberty in the great Boston Common, where the anthem of the free has always been chanted—when it comes to this, the pious people of Boston ex- pect nothing less to befall their city than the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah. As the saints never enteriain angels unawares or otherwise, this would be peculiarly uncomfortable, and they propose to ward off the evil as best they may by driving out the evil regiment. It is the game good old religions fervor that used to bung up the beehives on Sunday to keep the bees from working, and spill all the cider to keep it from working. It usually bas the effect of keeping even the spirit of grace from work- ing, also; and, indeed, if that New York non- descript, called ‘the old thing,” has a habita- tion or a name in Boston, doubtless this same Teligious zeal, bent o1 Sunday idleness as a means of salvation, keeps even it—the old thing—from working. However, Fisk will have his prayers, and no one can pray more appropriately or with more earnestness or for better reasons than‘Fisk, and the Puritans will stand aghast until it is all over. Then they will discover that self-righteousness is up- seemly, and that when the Pharisee told the publican “Iam better than thou,” the publi- can was too modest, or he might have won * much money from the Pharisee on that point.

Minister Sagasta combated the motion. He de- nounced the International Society for its aMliations with the Paris Commune, saying that it aimed at the destruction of the basis of society; thatit wanted to inaugurate in Spain a reign of disorder by carry- ing into practice those socialist theories which led to the horrors of Paris, Other members spoke in condemnation of the In- ternational, and after a feeble opposition by the republicans the motion was re;ected. Reports have been current that there is a sertous disagreement 1a the Cabinet. In spite of the King’s attempts at conciliation a Ministerial crisis is ex- pected. 3 WEATHER REPORI.

Twenty-four Hous, The barometer has falien on the Pacific coast, and in Kansas and Nebraska, It has risen on the Lakes and eastward to the Atiantic. The pressure is now pretty aniform over the country east of the Rocky Mountains. The temperature has fallen slighuy in the Eastern States, out is elsewhere sensibly stationary. Light winds are now reported from all the stations, and have so been during the day east of the Rocky Mountains. Partially cloady and clear weather has prevailed north and east of the Ohio Valley, but light rain is now re. ported on Lake Ontario, and the very warm weather of Thursday afternoon, extending from North Carolina to Alabama is now followed by threatening and rainy weatner in the centre of that region, where a storm of some violence very possibly prevails. Probabditities, It 1s probable that on Friday the barometer will fall throughout the Mississ!ppi Valley, with increasing cloudy and threatening weather. Light winds are probable for the Lakes and Atlantic coast, and fresh southerly wind on the Gulf coast. The storm which 1s now passing over South Carolina will partly extend up the coast beyond North Caroiina.

EUROPEAN MARKETS. WASHINGTON. Unfavorable Prospects for the Cotton Crop of 1871. The New York Central Railroad Tax Case De- cided Against the Company. Inspection of Life-Saving Stations on Long Island. Important Amendments in Regula- tons for Officers of Lake and River Steamers. WASHINGTON, June 15, 1871. The Cotton Crop—Unfavorablo Keports from the South—Decrease of Acreage. The Bureau of Agriculture has received returns from nearly three hundred counties, representing the most productive districts of each of the cot- ton States, and showing tne comparative acre- age and the condition of the crops in the first week of June, A diminution in the | area planted in cotton appears in every State except Florida. The most careful analysis of the returns, with due regard in making averages to the extent of cotton production in the respective connties, gives the following percentage of reduc- tion in comparison with last year:—Virginla, thirty per cent; North Carolina, fourteen; South Carolina, thirteen; Georgta, twelve; Alabama, thirteen; Mis- sissippl, fifteen; Louisiana, eight; Texas, fourteen; Arkansas, sixteen; Tennessee, twelve. These State averages reduced to a general average, the assumed acreage of the respective States being an clement in the calculation, will place the reduction of the cotton of 1371, as compared with that of 1870, pe- tween fourteen and fifteen per cent, equivalent to nearly amillion and athird of acres. ‘this would leave between seven and @ half and eight millions of acres as the present area in cotton. The average yield has not, in former years, ex- ceeded 150pounds per acre, That for 1470 was more than 200 pounds, The condition of the grow. ing plant Is below an average in nearly every State, The spring has been unusually wet and cold, retard- ing growth, causing many of the plants to turn yellow and Gje, and obstructing cultivation. To a large extent replanting has flilea the vacant places of ‘imperfect stands.” The weather bas recently been more favorable, and it is nop impossible that an average condition may be attained by the commencement of the packing season, The condition of cotton in 1869, a year favored with an abundant yield, was only a little better than the showing of June this year. While the prospect is slightly unpromising, there Is nothing In it of a decisive character. The percentage below an average condition 18 as follows in the respective States:—North Carolina, 10 per cent; South Carolina, 8; Georgia, 1 Jabaina, 17; Mississippi, 16; Louisiana, 10; Texas 7; Arkansas, 17; Tennessee, 10, In Florida the condi- tion is three per cent above an average. An official estimate of the result so early in the season would be an absurdity, The influence of the future rains, floods, frosts and insect enemies cannot be calcu- lated in aavance, but in view of the extremely favor- able circumstances affecting the crops of last year, there cannot be expected in whe present year apon a reduced area a crop exceeding three and one-half millions of bales. An early frost or the prevalence 7 a satisfaction to underwriters and others interested im nsuring property and life, Congress appropriated $200,000 for the purpose of relitting the stations with improved apparatus, for which legislative ‘action the HeraLp is given the credit of having faitufuly exposed the true ,condition of things a& these places, The report of Captain Faunce wilt fully bear out the statements published tn tae Heravp, as far as bis lanors have extended, He will recommend the increase of stations on the Long Island coast and the change of location In two already established, placiog them in better localities, Captain Faunce will next visit the tfe- Saving stations on the coast of New Jersey, and, im accordance with his report, the amount appropri- ated by Congress wili be duly expended vy the Secretary of the Treasury, Return of the President.
