The South American War

Advices from Lima bring intelligence Of
an important battle November 18th, at q
place called San Francisco. The allied
Peruvians and Bolivians under Buendia,
numbering about 1900, attacked the nvad.
ing army OF Chilians in strongly in
trenched position. The allies were defeated
with loss of 5000. The ardor of the Bo.
livians is cooling and discomfort is rapidly
spreading. The Gillian frigate Blanco
Encalda captured the Peruvian gunboat
PeIcomayo. The outlook for the Peruviaus
is any thing but favorable.
Before abandoning Iquique the Peruvian
and Bolivian allies burned the town and
blew up the Notifications.

PREMIER MCILwAITH of Queensland,
makes one point that should receive the
careful attention of the livestock trade.
Speaking of stock raising, he says that if
The Queenslanders could get as high a
price for their cattle as the Texan herd.
ers get, they would all become rich.
Three cents pound is considered good
price, and at distant stations cattle are
often slaughtered for their hides and
horns alone. The important point is
that the new methods of livestock trans
rortation by steamers will greatly reduce
the advantages which Americans now en-.
Joy over their Australian competitors,
and may lead to an enormous extension
"t the business there, stimulated by
large profits.
