Nor NAPOLEON, BUT FRANcE.-
language OF Thursday's leading article Of
the French paper in New York. the
Courier des Etats Unis, is very pointed
The Courier, it is well know, has always
been warm supporter of Napoleon. but
the news from France, it seems, leads that
paper now to give the sign of alarm
Under the head Of ''Sursum Corda" ii
says:
"What matters that there is a man
named Olivier, If this man leaves US to be
beaten What matter that there is a
man named Napoleon, if Napoleon is
caduc and his hand too feeble to hold the
sword =? We do not know any body
when there is question of the salvation, of
the honor, of the grandeur Of France, =
Let the power be trusted to whomsoever
shall take it, and in whatever form it
may be, be it this incarnation of the
people, be it a monarchy Or republic
but let them give us victory"

The Eaent'sg Journal laments as one Of
the causes of Radical weakness in the
South the poor support and want of infu
ence of the Radical press. 1t thus ac-
counts for this weakness "The masses
of the party do mot read newspapers,
nor DO they advertise /; the first because
they connot read, and the second because
they have nothing to buy or SELL" In
short, they are negroes and it was with
such mass Of uneducated black people
that the Republican party proposed to
govern the southern States. - r

QUALITY AND CONDITION.


The quality of this Guano is materially I'M
proved this season by the addition to its compo-
sition of large percent. of the
SALTS OF POTASH.
T 1t is improved in condition by being bought
into market sufficiently dry and uniformly fine
to pass with facility and regularity through
the orihces of the

More than S1.000, 900 is involved in the pro-
duction of this Guano, and the trade in it has
steadily increased, until now it far exceeds tn at
of any other fertilizer.
The Pacific Guano Company has far greater
interest in the maintenance Of the quality of its
Guano than any number of consumers can have;
hence no apprehension need exist as to its con-
tinual ex cellence.
