REPORTERS AT THE ToMBs.-The Tribune of Sa
turday last referred to what it terms an association
OF the reporters at the Tombs, for the purpose o,
levylng black mail and ''hush money" We have
every reason to believe that the charge is not with
out foundation. The difficulty is to break up the
system. Both police and reporters have regularly
organised system of financial operation. We have
heard of one individual, connected for long time
with the papers as police reporter, who has man
aged to realise out of a few dollars week, very
handsome property. Some time ago, no less thar
$500 were paid in a single case, in which western
judge was concerned, for hush money. This infa-
nous system must be broken up. We are ready to
do anything in our power to put end to the sys-
tern. We pay our reporters well, and never can
tolerate in any instance, their making dishonora-
bic use of their po sition on this journal

GRANT THoRBURN .'LAuEiE ToDp."-The
famous Grant Thorburn gave us a communication
few days since, which we present to our readers this
morning. 1t seems that Grant, during the last quar-
ter of a century, has been communicating his lucu
brations to variety of journalists gratis, but tired
OF this Improbable labor he applied to US to publish
something, provided we would "pay" We accor
dinghy asked him to put his own value on his pro
ductons, which he at once stated, and we paid him
on the spot, without binding ourselves to purchase
any more of his Intellectual wares than we chose
Grant is remarkable man. He commenced life
like an industrious man, making and selling nails,
and now he has attained such degree OF elevation
In the intellectual scale, that he be ranked with
the great literary men of the age-Wls, Morris

LETTER WRITER'S AT THE WATERING PLACES
The lucubations of most Of the letter-writers at the
watering places are quite amusing and characteris
tic OF the craft These geniuses get their board and
lodging gratis, and, as in duty bound, 60 to work
and puff the munifcent hotel-keepers and their es-
adjustments. Now, all those who have visited any
of these places, know very well that when crowded
they are the most uncomfortable quarters in the
world. Saratoga is, perhaps, the most purgatoria
place on the continent What with the noise, dust
and confusion-ill-cooked dnners-damp bed
rooms, damp sheets, negligent and insolent SER
wants, and host of minor nusances, this famous
resort is, indeed, any thing but paradise. We in
tend to give full and perfectly truthful report of
these watering places We will tell the truth Of all
the hotels we have been at. We care nothing about
their kndnesses, their grauitous attentions and
their free tickets We are always able to pay our
travelling expenses, and do not wish to be indebted
to any one.

THR MYsrrRjors sgvPN STARS. s.-~Ws have re.
ceved communication from Washington, from o
quarter of the highest authority in that region Civ
ing us complete history Ct the interesting move
ments which led TO the establishment Of new organ
Of Mr.. Polk, under the management Of Ritchie ano
Helss, with all the preliminary negotiations and the
subsequent developments brought about by that BIZ
Of tactics and political diplomacy. In day or two,
we will be enabled, by correspondence from the
capital to give full history OF the ne gotiations for
the organ, embracing everything connected with
these developments, and also detailing the decara-
tons OF General Jackson on the subject, previous to
his lamened DEATH
From the facts now IN our possession, we are per-
fecy satisfied that the mysterious stars in the letter
from General Jackson TO Major Lewis, meant no
others than Mr.. Richie and Major Heiss, Of Nash
vile. We will make the fact perfectly apparent, and
show that these mysterious stars-mysterlous no
onger-could not, in any circumstances, have been
intended to designate General Cameron, of Penn
syvania and Major Walker. 1t is very true in pre-
vious letter written by General Jackson on the
subject, and addressed to Francis p Blair, the old
hero made use OF some expressions rather dispara-
ging to General Cameron, because he had some rea-
son to believe that that gentlemen engaged in
some negotiations for the purchase of the Aadiso-
nian, in connection with Major Donelson. 1t will
be recolleced, however, that General Jackson wrote
two letters this subject. The first had reference
only to General Cameron, and that this Is the iden-
cal introduced in the celebrated speech of John
c. Rves a copy of which we expect to receive IN
day or two with the letter.
The Lewis letter, published in Nashville, alluded,
we quite certain now, to Mr. Richie, as the rem
egade politician, and to Major Hess, now conduct
ing the Union. Our eapose of this business will be
extremely interesting and amusing. showing off at
full length the declarations and movements of Mr.
Polk -Ritchie-Heiss-Cla -Clay-Lewis, and the de-
parted hero.

FE|IIE undersigned has obtained Letters Patent,
4 to enable common Mil! stones Cor rocks) now
IN use, to Grind CORN, COB and SHUCK, into
meal for Horses, Mules, Cattle, Hogs, &c, there
by saving more than one third of crop, which is
an important item with planters. The machinery
used for the above purpose Is simple and durable,
and cannot with fair means get out of order. 1t
will last as long the Stones last with an expense
Of SO cents every five years To enable the
mon Mill Stones to grind ear corn into meal, re-
qurcs no new buildings OR extra power It can
also be applied to Horse Mills, Threshing Ma
chimes, Gins, or any given power known. The
same Mill will grind one-third more of Corn Meal
| by the introduction of this Machinery, and can be
changed from grinding Corn and Cob to grinding
Corn Meal in the space of thirty seconds. Corn
alone, when fed to Stock is said to be by the most
practical and scientific Planters, constipang in its
effects, producing founders, cholics and various
oth:r lnaadles which are incidnt TO stock. Grind

serious results above mentioned. Stock, when fed
on Corn exclusively, deprived of the benefits Of

bulk to produce distersion before the animal be-
comes gorged. Cobs ground with the corn pro-
duce the necessary distension, without any danger
of diseases arising from overeating. Corn and cob
meal is improved by scaldlng, and still more by
boiling and yet more by partial fermentation
All the preparations facilitate digestion for Hogs.
But Horses and Mules will not eat fermented food,
consequently they will require it dry partially
wet with cold water. Horses, Mules and Oxen,
when fed with unground food, void much in an
undigested state, vhich is Of course lost for all ben

it grinds sheed Corn more than twice as fast as
