IMPROVEMENT IN Corn GRINDING MILLS.
&C. t. Walters Esq, Of Kentucky, the Pa
tentee ola very valuable, though simple, inn
provement upon the Corn Grinding Mill is
now in our town, exhibiting his patent with
testimonials Of its utility from several respeca-
BILE sources Col TERRAL, of this county,
oertifes that he has applied the improvement
TO his mill and that it works admirably. The
main object of the invention is economy in the
feeding Of stock. 1t grinds orn,-shucks, cob
and all, to as fine particles as though the grain
alone were ground it affords more nutriment
to the stock, and SAVES that which was before
almost useless. Here certainly is a combina.
ton Of advantages which should induce all TO
purchase
Among other testimonials, we noticed that
Of Mr.. Hollingsworth, Of Newton county, ex-
telling Mr. WALKERS invention. He states,
that to test the machine, he ground cart load
Of corn with the shucks on, and, upon trial,
found that il measured bushel for bushel with
the ears, and made superior feed. We might
refer to many other certificates, bot as the gen.
tlemanly palentee is himself present and is al
ways prepared to afford satisfactory evidence Of
the value Of his improvement we deem it IN
necessary 10 say more

The MORTGAGE ON CALIFORNIA
The state ofthe Mexican finances, and the
report that there is mortgage on CaliiOr-
MIA held by subjects of Great Britain, have
recently engaged public attention, and in
our present relations with Mexico are sub.
jects Of some importance to use.
We have given TO them n very careful
examination and from authentic statements
and documents in our possession, we feel
justified in saying, that there is no such
mortgage on California, or any Of the
provinces Of Mexico, as has been repreSen-
ted TO exist; and that the British Govern
ment is not a party, m any respect, to any
Of the public loans that have been made
by Mexico.
There is nothing more than an agree
meni between the government and her
creditors, TO sell lands located in certain
places at a specified price; aud that they
shall not be sold to Others than the holders
Of these bonds. Among the lands so set
apart were some in Texas, which having
ceased 10 be part Of Mexico, are no longer
liable TO the provisions of the bonds; and
the same result which attended the Separ-
alton Of Texas from Mexico, would follow
IA Incorporation ofCalilornia, New Mexico
or any other Department. There is moth
ing M these bonds which takes them ont
Of the general class Of public loans; or
which give 10 the holders any other
remedy than that which is found in the
good faith, ard ability aud willingness of
the debtor government TO pay; and what.
ever may be the other difficulties that may
grow out Of the war with Mexico, we see
no good reason Tor apprehending that the
United States will have trouble about these
bonds.
Il IS not known how many, ifany ofthe
deferred bonds, have been converted into
lands; but from statements we have seen,
We should suppose that none have been, CT
indeed very few. The English papers
treat the whole debt as If none had been.
and we think this is the fact.--BaH Pa
friOf.
