New 'York, 31. --Special correspondence *of the Herald, Bouiltoii, Belgium 31, 7 p.m. A fearful battle was fought yesterday and to -day by the Prussian artily of the Crown Prince and Prince Frederick Charles with the forces of McMahon. Yesterday morning McMahon commenced a general movement towards Montmedy ; he was attacked near Beauniontal and, was driven back after an obstinate resistance towards the Belgium frontier. The Prussiansoccupied the line of the road, and captured a large amount of camp stores, they drove the French from po- sition until night closed. Early this morn- ing the battle was renewed and continued several days. London advices say that Dr. Prescon, of St. George's Hospital, has gone to visit the Emperor, whose health is critical. Wheth- er the battles of T3Esumont and Cangnan were fought the same day or successive days seems doubtful, but the result is not doubt- ful. McMahon has been caught with his army astride the Muise, attacked by a su- perior force on both sides, and beaten ; he was already attempting to retreat, ,find- ing the enemy on his flank, and his • com- munications ,being threatened by. Germans, he wasted no time, but attached wherever he could reach the enemy. French reports say McMahon is retiring either on Sedan or Mezinres to occupy the enemy, whom it is no longer safe to engage at a distance from their strongholds. The Tribune's correspondent writes that the majority in the Corps Legislatiff show no real regret at the attack ,on Prussians, and Ministers decline to promise that Per- fects guilty of exasperating the mob against Protestants shall be dismissed, in .such mat- ters the powers of the Empress were su- preme. She favors religious prosecution even in this crisis. The Perfect, of the pd - lice proposes to allow certain Germans to remain in Paris on certificate of good con- duct. The Figaro and the Journal object, saying the people will then take police work into their own hands, adding, that when Prussians are exterminated English will come next. Special correspondence of Tribune writes, Berlin, Monday.? Prussians within a fort- night have surveyed and built a new tarn - way from. Renally to Port-a-Misson and bridged over the Moselle avoiding Metz, and thus saving 20 miles. - New York, Sept. lst.-Special to,B'erald, Brussels, lst.-It is reported here that a fresh nettle commenced to -day, in the direc- tion. of Sedon. McMahon occupies a strong position. New Ycirk," Sept. 2nd, -The JVo�'ldz cable dispatch reports another tremendou battle yesterday, before Sedon, McMaho +rith inferior.force disputing every inch o ground with desperate valor. Count Pal kao saicito-day that McMahon had not su fered nearly as much as ,the Germans, an. fighting continues several days in sam region. Prussians believe McMahon abl to Bold the Germans at bay till the -a my a Lyons, 150,000 strong, can be brought int action. The French official report says :-On th 31st a series of engagements occurred be tween McManon's army and the enemy near the city of Mezeires, lasting frcm 8 a. m., to 8 p. m. Our troops were'attacked by the Prusssans from Woody Heights an we had but recently bifrouaced, which th enemy immediatelyy occupied; The attac was vigorous at first, and forced our arm to a retrogade movement, but at 2 p. m. we took the offensive again, and retained i till 7 p. m., when darkness put an end to th operations. After night -fall we recrossed the Meuse in order to formagainnearDeuch- ruy, a few miles east of Mezeires. The engagements of this clay's fighting cost us sensible losses, although we have indicted heavy damage on the Prussians. McMah- on drove the ::Prussians into the angle form- ed by the ramparts of Sedan and the heights on the left side of the river. The Prussians experienced very heavy loss, and were com- pelled to retreat, which they did about noon towards Ville Montey. After several un- successful attempts they at last succeeded in placing themselves on the opposite side of the Meuse, and on the morning of the 31st Mc,Ia.hon crossed the Meuse at Mont- zon,� thtis furnishing a direct contradiction of the dispatch of King William, which an- nouncean- nouncedthat be had repulsed McMahon be- yond the Meuse. Berlin, Sept: 3. -The following has just been made public :-Before Sedan, France, Frici tv, Sept. 2, 1:22 p. m. -From the King of "Prussia to the Queen. -A capitulation whereby the army at Sedan are prisoners of war has just been concluded with Gen. \Ve rpfe_ny, com minding instead of Marsh- al McMahon who is wounded.

His residence I shall aPlioint after an interview with him at a rendezvous to be fixed inrrnediately. What a course events with God's guidance have taken? Berlin, Sept. 1. --The following from Ring William has just been made public :- Sedan, Sept. 1. --The battle has raged since half past 8'clock this morning Our forces have advanced victoriously. The 5th and 7th corps and Bavarians were engaged. The enemy was almost entirely driven into the city._ London, Sept.' 3. News of the surren- derof the Emperor and McMahon has creat- ed great excitement. Anxiety is univer- sal to know whether this 'wolves a . cessa- tion of hostilities and unmolested occupa- tion of Paris.

Berlin, ept. 3.-A dispatch just receiv- ed says :HSince Wednesday last, Marshal Bazain has steadily sought to escape to the North, but has always been frustrated by Gen.

New York, Sept. 3. -Telegrams special says :-Dispatches from the seat of war report most brilliant Prussian successes. 20,000 Prussiates and 10,000 French sol- diers lie killed or wounded on the field of battle. The Times says :-From the chaos of intelligence ' and conflicting telegrams we gather that McMahon was proceeding to relieve Metz when he was encountered and driven back by . the .. Germans, who pursued him so" closely and constantly that collisions were inevitable, hence con- flicts have been reported all the week. There was serious work at Sedan on Tues- day, when McMahonreached the heights of Vaux, near Carrignan. Thither came the Emperor on Tuesday. On that day 30,000 of McMahon's army_ was attacked between Monzon and Moutius. This was the first battle of Beaumont reported by King William. The Prussians turned the French right wing, necessitating a .retire- ment on Sedan, before which they again renewed the fight on Tuesday, when they were driven into that' fortress (Continued on fourtii page.)` .. s c The Use of Salt in Agriculture. It is still a much debated question wheth- er common salt is of any value as a ferti- lizer. Great names have lent their author- ity to the opinion that it is usef,rl, hut as yet no proof derived from actual experi- ment has given absolute demonstration of its utility, except in the garden as a dress- ing for.f / The luxuriant growth of• marsh grass has been oftenq uot- ed as proof positive that salt water is bene- ficial in its effects, but no signal results have ever been achieved so far as we know by applying salt to upland meadows. There,. have been cases in which grass has been killed outright, instead of being benefited by this kind of treatment, and altogether it would seem probable that grass marches yield large crops of hay, in spite of the sea- water inundation, than as the direct results of them. Analysis of salt marsh hay shows the presence of potash in full quantity, but very little soda. It is likely, therefore, that other conditions and deposits account for the fertility of these marshec, and that salt hasnothing to do with it, or if it has, there is a combined action along .with some other element or agent not yet detected. Actu- ,al experiment has .shown that salt is not in- jurious to all plants, by any means, but it heightens the necessity for proof of utility before expense and trouble are gone to in supplying the soil with a supposed fertilizer which may after all be of little or no real value. The principal on which manures are applied .to land, is that of restorign the constituents removed by crops. Inasmuch as plants consume little or no soda, and the trifling proportion they require is probably in indirect trays, there would seem to Ise little use in the direct application of salt. We perceive by some of our exchanges that Prof. Gossman, of the Massachusetts Agri- cultural College, recently published a let- ter on this subject. The lecture itself we have not seen, but quite concur in the con- cluding remark which we find quoted by a contemporary : The safest and c_ieapest way of supplying salt to our lands,- if desir- able; is to feed it to your live stock, for natural channels of distribution are always the best," �•O. Advantage of Not Coloring Cheese. Among the advantages of not coloring cheese, an English authority thus states :- 1. -An uncolored cheese will ripen sooner, and be fit for use. 2. -No intelligent daily farmer, either of Cheshire or Somersetshire, has on his table colored cheese. They alway prefer .one un- colored, as richer and higher in flavour. 3. -It is qurious to remark no country ex- cept Great Britain colors cheese. The only uncolored cheese is the Stilton, which is one of -the ‘best flavored cheeses. We find no colored cheese in Holland ; none in Swit- zerland, where Gruyere is made ; none in Lombardy, the country of the Parmesen ; nor in France, which produces the delicious Rochfort cheese. It greatly behoves our dairy fai'mers'to do all they can' to -improve their Cheddar, and to prevent it being low- ered in value in the market by the superi- ority of the American. And as it is ascer- tained that coloring cheese affects its quali- ty and richness, surely this ought to be a chief reason to abandon it, and bring into the market the best -made Cheddar uncolora ed, to cope with that which comes front America. i sees.

THE PAIN KILLER, COURT OF CHAN- CERY, &C., &C., &C. Perry I)avis and Radway have plays' out in the United States, and now they coni to thin country, and are trying, with the aid of the Court of Chancery to compel the Canadian pub- lic to use their nostrums, but they find it up- hill work, as the public has become alive to the' danger of using such nostrums. Radway has to bladder the corks of his to keep it from eating them up, and where is the man who would like to put such. trash ihto his stomach ? And the London " Star," of the 30th September, 1867, tells the qualities of Perry Davis' Pain Killer, as it not only killed the pain of G. A. Hill, but it killed. him, : and Davis warns the purchasers to be careful to -get the genuine, Pain Killer, -so I judge that 0. A. Hill must have got the genuine, as they admit that his wife gave him a tea- spoonful of the Pain Killer at midnight, and before the light of day he was dead. Perry Davis is dead and so is his Pain.

They swore tha+ I reduced their sales in pada, in" 1865p ove $10,000, and in three Sears .$27, 304 asthe could not compete with me, they asked th Court of Chancery to drive me out of tl mark.

Experience has fully demonstrated that no remedy has proved so universally proinpt and efficient in relieving Cholera, Cholic, Pains Coughs and in fact every pain and ache that the human family is subject to, as the PAIN KURER. ; it is besides a safe remedy. KENNEDY'S LINIMENT Has been the means of cowing diseases of various kinds that ha.i baffled all other remedies, besides the skill of our most practical doctors. Victoria. Hanlon, Sister of Charity, cured of Erysipelas, after a test and suffering of two years. by four of •- our leading doctors, and left as a hopeless case. Mr. White, of Peterborough, -his son made to walk after being for years without the ase of his limbs and after all the medical faculty had failed even the no torions Dr. Potts tried his skill to the amount .of fifteen dollars. Joseph Clarkson, Town of Barrie, his son was restored to his sight, after being nine months blind. Catharine Crawford, Hamilton, cured of para- lytic stroke, having lost the use of her arm and hand for six months, and four of our leading doc- tors tried to cure her, ene tried the EIectric Bat- tery six times, all to no purpose, but two bottles of Kennedy'r Liniment. costing only 75 cents, aured her as well as ever she was. Those cases above are only a few of many thousands in pos- xession of the proprietor from all parts of the world. Yeu will only hear one 'sentiment, and that is that a bottle. of Kennedy's Liniment is worth a hundred of any other preparation for cu- ring everything. KENNEDY'S HAIR RESTORATIVE Contains no sulphery sediment norary unhealthy drug. It will return any head of hair after be- -coming grey, • to its natural colour, and make it more beautiful than at the age of 18. No lady or gentleman will ever become bald or grey who uses Kennedy's Hair Restorative according to di- rections with each bottle.
