which was remarked by all observers OF
the procession as it passed through the

They were company Of stalwart, mus

performed their duty, although they did
not win the first prize. Yet they were
crowned with laurels of which every citi'

THE COTTON CRoP.- 1t has seemed
very natural within a few days to read
that the worm was making fearful rava-
ges among the cotton crop, also that tre-
mendous rains were proving destructive
in some quarters, and the drouth equally
so in others. For all that, though, the
Southern estimates of the coming crop
have been steadily increasing for some
time. Among the latest, and probably
most reliable, is that made by the New
Orleans P,cayune. 1t places the crop at
4,430,000 bales, of 2,08s. 100000 pounds,
averaging the bales at 40 pounds. The
significance of these figures will be seen
by comparison with those Of the stand
ard great crop of 1859 60, memorable in
cotton annals. That consisted of 1875.
no bales. averaging 457 pounds, and ag-
eregatipg 2,136, S25, 800 pounds; SO that
the current crop is only 245,0OO bales
less or about Fl per cent. 1t is admitted
that the present estimates are subject to
considerable variation on the score of the
weather or other contingencies before the
crop is gathered; but the lateness Of the
season materially reduces these causes of
apprehension, while the steady increase
of the estimates thus far ia a pratifv;no
proof Of the really cheering prospects Of
the crop.

BATTLE TRoPHIEs.-A curious report
comes from Washington that the Corean
battle-fags, captured in the recent en-
counter, have been received at Washing
ton, and that in several instances they are
made gifts to personal friends, and are
marked with the names of the captors.
Such disposition of trophies captured in
battle is in direct violation of the course
prescribed and observed during previous
wars. II the government could give
away all the results of the attack on the
Corean forts with the flags, no objection
could be made to presenting them to any
one willing to accept them. AS it is, the
duty of the Navy Department to preserve
the flags is plain.
