From the Boston Advert iser
The Prospect of War.

The news from the East Is of a nature TO
give ground for the most serious alarm as
to the preservation of peace. Nothing is
impossible for Diplomacy before an actual
declaration of war is made but there are
too many indications that Russia. which
has the most to hope from a war, is ready
and anxious to force the issue even at the
risk of war. The question at present is
as to the acceptance of the long armi,tice
proposed by Turkey. Servia took some
time ago, the position of refusing in ad-
vance even to consider any terms on the
part of Turkey that were not submitted to
her before they were proposed for the COR
sideration of the powers. The armistice,
besides being submitted last to Seryia, was
in every respect disadyantageous to her
The main chance for defeating Turkey lay
In fighting the Empire while it was ex-
hausted in resources. Servia was, there
fore, quite decided in her refusal to listen
to the plan In that position she has the
powerful support of Russia, for reasons
that are obvious. On the other hand Eng
land and France, declare that the ar
mistice ought to be accepted. Austria is
said to have reported herself neutral. It.
ally reserves her answer. and Germany
gives no sign.
1t is most difficult to evolve out of this
situation either a peaceful settlement oil
the trouble or war the issue of which
could be doubtful. The frantic appeal OF
the London Times to Prince Bismark to
command the storm to cease is not at all
likely to accomplish its object. 1t is per-
fectly true. as the Times says. that the
success of Russia would affect some Ger
man interests unfavorably. But those who
remember how complacently Russia looked
on while Germany united its discordani
forces, and while it strengthened itself and
destroyed the military power of France,
will not be greatly surprised if now Ger
many should reciprocate the favor The
new movement Of Russia will, after all, de-
prive Germany Of nothing; and she can.
without much disquietude, see Russia
strengthen its position in her rear. Be-
sides. France is most likely to be an ally
Of England, if there should be war, and it
would be a very odd circumstance if eth
er France or Germany should now be will
ling to fight by the side oil the other The
chances then would be that Germany will
be neutral. with leaning toward the
cause of Russia. The reported detection
of Austria from the opposition to Russia
seems to have created surprise. There
are two explanations of her conduct. One
of these is a real disinclination to fight,
which she has manifested ever since the
disastrous war in which she lost the lead
ership of Germany. The other is but
suspicion, yet one with much to make it
probable, namely, an understanding that
she will obtain profit in an acquisition of
territory in case she does not oppose Rus

"A CARD.
AUGUST Is, 1876

AUGUST Is, 1876.
In issuing this card 10 the public, it is sim
ply our intention TO give our reasons why we
are not able to reduce the price of our MAX
mum FER TILIZER for the present season.
In making our purchases of materials used
in the manufacture of "MAXlMUM" we have
always exercised the utmost care and diligence
in the selection of stock of materials, know
ing that ourgood name and personal reputa-
ticn is identical with the farmers interest in
getting he highest grade fertilizer made in
the country; and in our MAXIMUM FERTl-
LIVER we guarantee and stake our personal
reputation upon it that the MAXI UNI is the
best fertilizer in the market, and has proven
the justice of our claim for it, by the coutn-
uance TO use il of the best farmers in every
section of the country where il has been in
troduced We have had this year to go to
Savannah Ga. where the agents of the Pc
ruvian Government had their last and only
cargo of original high-grade Guauape Guano
stored, 10 make our purchase Of Peruvian Gu
ano, in order to get such as would insure the
former established grade, and secure beyond
doubt the reputation of 'MAXIMUM -
In securing this high grade of Peruvian
Guano we have paid large increase on the price
of last year, and the present price OF Peruvi-
an Guano now being sold from the agency of
the Peruvian Government in New York. II
VIII be readily seen oy the intelligent farmer
that Peruvian Guano, being an imported ar
ticle, is not affected by any depressions in
either our financial or commercial markets,
and therefore we who use Peruvian Guano eT-
clusiseiy never have the opportunity 10 make
purchases Of materials to advantage in times
Of depression, as others have, who use a part
or wholly of domestic articles, such as dried
blood and animal matter of various kinds,
and we consequently have not the margin 10
reduce our prices.
10 conclusion, we offer MA RINUM at the
same prices as last year, feeling that the far
mers who now use il will see il 10 their inter-
est to pay the same price rather than get n
small reduction in price aud 1reater one in
quality.
With many thanks for past encouragement
and guaranteeing the MAXIMUM FERTE
LIXER fully up to its past standard, we ask
from the farmers who have so successfully
used it in former years, continuance of their
patronage for the present season.
Yours truly,

The Sixth Congressional District of Maryland
have generally conceded the honor OF electing
Mr. Walsh to this county. We quote The fol-
lowing from the Fredtrich Union:
All honor to glorious old Montgomery She
never fails US in the hour Of our extremity
Twice she has turned back lhc tide of tuttle
and snatched victory from the very jaws of
defeat. All hail TO her heroic and incorrupt-
lille Democracy. They have covered them
selves with immortal honor, and are fairly en-
titled TO the first post Of distinction in the Til
den column.
The following from the GarreH Go. Ga
zeHe:
While we regre, that our little county has
given small minority against our nominee
for Congress, William Walsh, vet still il il
glory enough to know that he has been re-
turned to Congress by an increased majority.
Old Montgomery county has, us usual done
her duty, and TO her be given the credit Of The
victory.
