NEW YORK'S DEFENSES.

The possibility of the bombardment of New York by Spain's warsLips is ridiculed by the officials of the war de- partment, who declare none of the enemy's vessels could, without great danger, approach to within 25 miles of that city. While many of the smaller cities on the Atlantic coast have prac- tically DO defeuses, New York is i'm preguable. The Qualifications of New York harbor are very formidable. There are sixty mortars at Sandy Hook alone. Each of them carries a shot weighing half ton with absolute accuracy. They can hit a ship six, eight or ten miles distant and command the approach to the hurbor from every direction. The channel is narrow and crooked, and many of tue big battle- ships of the worlds navies could not cross the bar except at high tide. When once across they have to follow a circuitous route to the Narrows, where the entrance to the bay is not more than three or four hundred yards wide. That point is protected by guns which can fire 50 shots minute, any one of which would destLoy battle ship in an instant.
 Besiies these Notifications, the ap- breaches to the harbor are we'll planted with torpedoes, which can be put in order in an hour. The channels are divided into squares on a chart which

REMEMBERING.

The determlnauon or Spaln To resort to privateeriog and the declaration of our own government to refrain from so barbarous policy, has aroused very general interest in the subject.
 The constitution confers on Congress the power to recognize privateering and Congress has authorized the presi dent to issue letters of marque. A law was passed in 1868 expressly convey ing this authority to the president. It is formal commission given to the commander of private armed vessel, called privateer. authorizing him to capture the ships and goods of the sub. jects of Il uatIon we are at war with. If a capture is made it must be made ac cording to the laws of war, as recoc- nized by civilized nations, and accord ing to instructions given by the presi- dent. The captured vessel is called prize and after all the circumstances of the capture have been inquired into by court of competent jurisdiction, if adjudged to be a lawful prize, the ship and cargo are sold, and the money is divided between the officers and men according to rank aud the laws of Con gress on this subject. These laws give the whole to the captors, when the ship taken is of equal or superior force to the ship making the capture, but if of inferior force then the United States takes one half,
 By the declaration of Paris of 1856 all the great powers, with the excep ton of the United States and Spain, agreed to abolish privateering. Mir. Marcy, our secretary at the time, de clined to sign the treaty unless the condition was made that tue private property (not contraband) of all na tions at all times be secure from seizure on the high seas. This country took the ground-and it was sound reason ing at that time-that as loug as such exemption was not made the nation with small navy would be at a great disadvantage. Now, however, with il new navy fast approaching the dimen- sions of other rival powers, the oliiec tions raised by Mir. Marcy no longer apply, and tLis doubtless contributed to the determination of the United States tO accede to the ahOiishment of privateering. This action, too, is wisely taken since it was certain to meet with the approval of the powers, and especially of Great Britain, Ger. many and France, which are all more or less concerned.
 Spain is thus left the only nation that gives approval and may resort to privuteeriug. Ii Spain seeks to pro- long the war by policy of priyateer- ing, while nomiuaIly directed against the United States, it would operate more iniuriously against the shipping of the three other powers named. British ships, it is estimated, carry 80 per cent of the commerce between the United States and Great Britain, while German and French vessels also handle considerable portion of the trade. This has given those nations a ma teriul interest against privHteeriug which would subject to search and seizure auy of their ships carry ing American goods. Therefore, for Spain to adopt this barbarous mode of war fare would lose her the sympathy those powers disposed to favor her and might entail very serious consequences.

THE COTTON PROBLEM.

The cotton problem and how the cot
ton producers are to make both ends
meet in the future is now being dis
cussed pretty freely throughout the
South, but whether any concert OF
action can be had in causing reduc-
ton of acreage is something we do not
believe can be done. The Shreveport
Outlook advances the following sug-
gestion:
1.-The only sensible and practical
thing to do therefore. is for the bankers,
the merchants, the planters and the
farmers, to get together and adopt hrst.
general plan for the cutting down OF
next years cotton crop to one-haiT.
This win make that half-crop bring
more money than either of the preced-
inc ones, which have brought on the
present temporary crisis; and that half
crop will be raised, picked and mark
eted, for perhaps one-half the cost OF
this years crop.
"The general plan referred to should
be perfected before the new year, and
we would suggest that the movement
be inaugurated in this State, by our
Commissioner of Agriculture. lie
might with propriety, call State Con-
vention at as early time as practicable
to be composed of the parties in inter-
est. These parties should first be as
sembled in the various parishes, to ex-
change ideas and to select the delegates
to voice them IN the State Convention,
at which a thorough organization
should then be formed to carry out
such plan as shall be adopted.
sour State Commissioner of Agri-
culture could, at the same time that he
issues the call for our State Convention,
inform the Commissioners in other
Southern States. with the view OF ar
ranging for general, convention of
delegates from the entire south.
1.-The views which have been ex-
pressed to US by thoughtful planters and
others, have led us TO advance this sug-
gestion and to invite expressions OF
opinion thereon from the press and
from the interested parties.
I'VE submit that the present situa-
ton suggests immediate action and
! friendly corporation. for in unity there
will be might; and in inaction, chaos
and Unbelievable losses to hundreds OF
thousands of honest, well-meaning. and
Industrious people,
The Mansfield Journal commenting
on the "Outlook's'' suggestions, ex'
presses our views, as follows:
The suggestion of the Outlook is 6
good one, but is 1t practicableP Car
concert of action among the classe:
named he obtained? We fear not
The only thing that will cause reduc
ton in the acreage of cotton is price
below the cost of production. Cottor
is now the only crop that our farmers
think they can sell for ready money
They do not know what there is il
other crops. 1t will take time TO
them to learn the necessity for diversl
flying their crops. The lesson learned
