Special Telegrams to The Expositor.
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.

sal to know whether this 'wolves a . cessa-

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

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,"

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

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. Killer,
as was shown by them on oath, in Court last
May, in the City of ,Hamilton. 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.
From the disrepute brought on the word Pai
Killer by the present parties, T have change
name of ray fain Killer formerly, to PAIN Kt
RER. The Pain Kurer has cured casesf th,
the most obstinate character of Epileptic Fa,.
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. For immediate dress -
ing and beautifying the hair as well as a way of
promoting its continued and luxuriant growth,
the Restorative has no equal.
