The report of the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture for last month is at hand with facts
worth knowing. The wheat crop is certain
to fall off this year the Commissioner fears
by As 600, 900 bushels. About / $50 900
more acres have been planted with corn this
year than last, and the crop at the West is
looking very well. A million more acres
have been planted with cotton, the caterpil-
lar and ball-worm have not been heard from,
and the yield ought to be between 500 900
and 1900, 900 bales. There will be an aver
age oat crop in about halo the states. The
production of tobacco promises to be about
the same as last year. Except in Maryland
and Pennsylvania, the apple crop bids fair to
be unusually large. The reports from nearly
all the grape growing districts are rose-col-
ored in the extreme. With peaches, unhap-
PLY, the case is different. Delaware will
not produce her usual crop, and Illinois and
Michigan fall off, the one five and the other
ten per cent.

Last week the emigration to New York was
unusually small, evidently a result of the
war in Europe. Not more than one-half the
usual number of emigrants were landed at
Castle Garden, the decrease being chiefly
among the Germans, who are the most de-
sirable of any nationality which is repre-
scented.

The Republican State Committee of New
York, with large number of prominent
men of the party, met at Saratoga last week
to attempt to reconcile some of the diferen-

Il is reported that their efforts were quite
successful, and if the good temper which
prevailed there will last, there is an excellent
chance of disappointing the fond aspirations
of the Democrats.

that the act allowing foreign built ships to

The new census very eonclusively proves
that the actual number of voters in New
York City is some 10000 or 5000 less than
the votes actually cast there at the last two or
three elections. Add to this the large num-
Der who are kept from the polls by sickness
or Indifference and the sum total is so large
it almost looks as though some fraud had
been practiced. OF course Tammany is not

THE KINGS ExANPLE.

An incident connected with the King,
which has only just been reported by the
Berlin press, deserves mention here. The
official declaration of war arrived from Paris
at seven O'Clock on the evening of Friday,
the 18th, and at eight the King arrived at
the Potsdam depot in Berlin, where many
thousands of people had met to welcome
him In the waiting saloon, Count Bis
marck, who, together with the Crown Prince,
Generals Won Room and Won Moltke, was in
the royal suit, read the latest telegram to
the King, when he replied solemnly and with
a deeply earnest countenance " After this
there remains nothing further for me to do
than to declare war" The Crown Prince
then went to the window, opened it, and
cried to the assembled crowds a. His Maj
esty the King has declared the war" A
roar, Down with the French was the
response of the vast crowd. In answer to
BurgOmaster Leydel, the King said that the
war was a great evil, but '' with the aid of
God, and with justice on his side, he hoped
the fight would soon be won

THE WAR FEELING.

has never been 80 earnestly and deeply
aroused as it is at this moment For days
the desire of all Germany was for peace; no
one had the slightest idea that France would
declare war against Prussia. When the tel
egram announcing that " the war is de-
ciared - came, feeling of sadness, might
say, overspread the whole German heart /;
hut this was followed OF once by universal
feeling of deep indignation at Napoleon's
threats, and an enthusiastic acceptance of
the gage of battle, the marks of which
have shown above. 1t remains to give you
few extracts from the German press, to show
YOU how deep and universal the feeling is.

parties strive with the constitutional jour

The tenor of the European news seems more and
moro warlike, Prussia having given her consent
to the candidaturo OF llohonzolem. IL really
seems that Napoleon means war, and if it ensueS
he Is to command in person, and viii attack prus-
STA unprepared if he can. The violence and i'm
pudence of his demands are such that, even it
complied with, they must be resented MS insults /.
hut they are not likely 10 be complied with nor
does he wish them 20 be apparently.
lie has long wanted an occasion of waragaiust
Prussia, and suffered terribly in 1s66 because he
could neither find nor make one. lie has now
forced one but it would seem from the tone OF the
London Times that England and the rest of Eu-
rope will condemn the grounds Of his action.
The moral onormity of precipitating war at
the present time is unsnoakable, and tic guilt Of
twill rest wholly with Louis Napoleon, it he
perseveros in his apparent policy Within fort
night, unless things changcat once, he will march
an army of 200, 600 men or more toward the Prus-
sian possessions on the Rhine, and it is there that
the first decisive battles must be fought. Prussia
will not be caught mapping, in spite of her pres
ent calm, and the first shock Of the armies will
be terrific. Possibly the emperor expects a spec
dy mediation by the other great powers, on the
basis of each comhatant keeping what he has
conquered, and, for this reason, wishes to put
himself in possession of the left bank of the
Rhine as soon as may be. The next day or two
will decide whether war is to be declared and il
it comes, it will come with surprising swillness
on both sides.
