EXCELSIOR is composed of TOO pounds of
No. Peruvian Gusno, and 1900 pounds OF Sol
uole Phosphate Of Lime Clones dissolved in
sulphuric acid potash and soda, forming the
most concentrated, universal and durable fer
tilizer ever offered to the bining all

monia for any crop, and all soils, and IN per

off with the first crop, as with Peruvian and
other ammoniacal gusnos, but stimulating the
crop to which is is applied, and all succeeding
ones. giving to poor, worn out and unproduct-

this respect, equal to the most highly cult

have beer expended.
EXCELSIOR as introduced in 1853 and we

suits so invariably successful as can be shown
from its use One of the PROPRIETORSS U-

he does not have in the purchase Of any other
Guano or Fertilizer sold.
Excelsior is in fine dry powder. prepared ex-
preesly for drilling and can be applied in any
quantity per acre. however small; and it is the
opinion VI tu6 u0St plOmiuoLI duo
farmers, after TWELVE years. experience in
testing it side by side with other popular fertil-
izers, that an application of 100 pounds of Ex-
sior is equal to zoo to 300 pounds Of any other
Fertilizer or Guano offered for sale, and there
fore is fully 100 TO 200 per cent cheaper.
ze-The very best evidence We can offer of
the value Of Excelsior as crop grower and

COLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO.

COLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO.
Improved in
QUALITY AND CONDITION..
The quality of this Guano is materially I'M
proved this season by the addition to Its COM
position of 8 large per cant of the
SALTS OF POTASH.
1t is improved in condition by being brought
into market sufficiently dry and uniformly fine
to pass with facility and regularity through the
offices of the
WHEAT DRILL.
More than 81 Zoo 600 is involved in the pro-
duction of this Gusno. and the trade in it has
steadily increased, until now it far exceeds that
of any other fertilizer.
The Pacific Gusno Company has q 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
continued excellence

We have been so often deceived by
private kilograms said to have been re-
ceived at the last moment, as for instance
the memorable Captain Generals TELEGRAM
ct hoe genus omme, that although we are
thankful to receive them as being news,
vet experience has taught as to give them
with all due reserve. This which has last
arrived by the French Steamer from Ha-
vana, comes in such questionable shape
that for future reference, falling to give
it a local habitatiop, we give it at least a
name, and call it
THE NOUvEAU MONDE TELEGRAM.
It is given by an officer Of the French

Steamer NouueaU Monde as a telegram
from London dated l4th instant which
says
"The Prussians were driven out of Or
cleans on 18th. The next day th army
'of the Loire, which had driven them out,
dedicated them and pursued its route to-
wards Paris"
We trust that this is not another tele-
cram added to the many that we have
learnt.
, 1870-11-29
{ From the ST. ThomG Tidende, N0Ubr. 26.J
PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

In our last we gave full kilograms to
10th instant, and also the "Nouveau
Monde Telegram" of 18TH instant report
ing the recapture of Orleans and defeat of
the Prussians by General Paladine.
BY the arrival yesterday of the b .rque
palestine" from New York we have Eu-
ropean dates to 14th instant, and find that
the 'Nouveau Monde Telegram is fully
confirmed. A "New York Herald' of
18th inst, for the loan Of which we are
indebted to the kindness of Lawyer Null
Ter, gives full particulars Of the French
successes. The struggle at Orleans lasted
two days, and the hottest of the fight took
place around CouImier on the 9th instant.
Dispatches from Blois and Tours mention
another victory gained near Arthenay by
PaIadine over Won der Tam. The moral
effect of these French successes is said to
be incalculable. The long threatened
bombardment of Paris has not yet com
menced, and a Brussels Telegram states
that the PrussiaDs will trust to hunger
to obtain possession of the grand prize.
The latest craze of the "Herald" is its
volunteering to Join Russia in annulling
the neutrality of the Black Sea. II does
not appear that the presence of an Anne
rican fleet in the %Bosphorus is in any way
necessary TO the perfection of American
Unity or the preservation of the Monroe
doctrine, but nevertheless the "HeraId"
seems to think so, England is of course
TO be the sufferer, and here is the grand
point. The "Herald" has strong attack
Of AngIophobia, and has broken out in a
fresh place. 1t does certainly appear
that Russia is taking some action caIcu-
lated to annul the restrictions placed on
her by the treaty Of Paris of 1856, by
which the passage of the DardaneIles has
been closed to her, but what the United
States have to do with it is what the
"HeraId" alone can see. It used to be
considered that it was their policy to keep
clear of European affairs and to keep Eu-
ropeans clear of American affairs, but the
former, at least, seems to have been con-
veniently laid aside, for the grand idea of
a Russo-American alliance, although it
does not'any where appear that Russia
desires anything of the kind.
The "Herald" of 18th gives Havana
kilograms of 14th and States that the
Gable between Key West and Punta Rus

adyices of 18th and the Cable was not
