Al tests here of the Guano therein referred 10 AMI
layn2 unquestl0nable proofs of its being genuine

# which is ALREADY Sold mostly to those who have
used Patagonia Guano several years ago-ail of
whom SO far as we can learn, pleased with the
results both on the crop of grain and the succeeding
grass and clover.
Our own opinion is based on the experience of those
who have u5eo Patagonia Guano heretofore among

From the chemical tests of this cargo. we are very
ayorably impressed with its value and have great
hopes that alone, ii will have fine effect: but as if
has only limited quantity of ammonia which of all
hher fertilizers gives promptly the greatest growth
n straw Is not expected that it will at once show
snrh an effect as Peruvian Guano, yet we think the
Soluble Phosphate of Lime will increase the quantity
Of grain very materially. Our w. Ct. CTenshaw
therefore intends to combine it with Peruvian Guano
in equal quantities. and would advise its general
use in this way: at the time want all to use
a portion Of il alone. and we hope accurate expert
ments Will be made and reported to u.s. that we may
be prepared with supplies for the next CROP pro-
vided, we have now every reason to hope, the
result will be satisfactory.
We think, therefore, that each farmer will consult
his interest by making a portion of his purchases

NEW 1ORk, Jan. "a.
Passengers from Nicaragua on the James
Adger give gloomy account of Walkers
situation.
The seizure of the transit route and
steamboats, by Spenser is confirmed. Spen-
Ger states that he acted in behalf of Van
derbilt. No injury was offered to the pas
sengers, but they were escorted to Grey
town where the steamer was boarded by an
officer from British man-of-war, who Or
dered the baggage of the men to be put off
Immediately. Spencer kept the American
flag flying from his steamer although he
made his captures in the name Of Costa
Rica.
President Mara, of the Costa Rican Gov
ernment, had issued a proclamation grant
ing pardon to Walkers men, and free
passage to the United States.
Many of Walkers men, both officers and
privates, were .deserting. They all tell
hard stories about their suffering from hun
ger and sickness.
Walker was still at Rivas with six hun
dred men, another account says 1900.
Spencer states that the Costa Ricans
have 1900 troops posted along the route.
They are also in strong force at Seragnt,
and have guns posted on both shores.
The report that Gen. Henningsen had
fought his way out Of Grenada and joined
Walker is confirmed, as is also the rumor
that General Chiffon, with large body of
men, had pronounced for Walker at Leon.
Walker, it is said, retook Rivas without
losing a man.
Capt. Saunders with his rifles had ad-
vanced to Leon to occupy that post. The
foregoing despatch is made up from the
statements from several Nicaraugian pa
pers who give very conflicting stories.

NEW YORK, Jan. "a.
The Steamer Jas. Adgar arrived here
this morning. She left Aspinwan Jan.
1lth, and San Juan the 18th, and brings
Is0 passenger, mostly from California
She put into Key West for coal and was
detained there 80 hours by bad weather.
The Purser reports that the cholera had
diappeared. There was but little sickness
and no deaths on the Adger.
She left at Aspenwall the sloop of war
Cyans, and at San Juan six English men
of-war.
The Steamer Sierra Nevada was daily
expected at Panama TO take up the Califor-
MIA passengers from Adger.
Walker is reported as being in better con-
dition than ever, having 1900 able bodied
men with him at Rivas, well supplied with
ammunition and provisions.
Col. Lockridge and his 800 men were
still awaiting at Punta Arenas, the compile
ton of steamer to be ready about the
18th inst, to go up the river, and re-take,
if possible, CASTILLO, and San Carlos, and
reopen the transit route.
The Adgar encountered great fields Of
ice on her homeward passage, between lat
itude 81 and SO.
