IMPORTANT INvENTIoN.-We learn from the Ha-
gerstown Torchlight that Mr.. Samuel Benz, of Boons
borough. Maryland, has discovered process, which
is being patented which, it is asserted, complete
y removes all bran and exraneous matter from wheat
in its natural state, leaving the grain nothing but
pure, uuground flour, efecting saving Of grain of
at least one tenth. The editor adds:
The outer coating of the grain is completely reno
ved and instead of sixty pounds of oal, Tor one
bushel Of wheat to the barrelO the ofal under this
system will exceed from to twelve pounds
and while from twenty-five TO fifty per cent. of time
is saved in the grinding. the varieties of wheat are
improved from five to fifteen per cent. producing the
best hot climate flour known in the world. These re-
suits have been arrived at by actual experiment, and
the public can thus see at glance the immense i'm
portance of the improvement. The cultivation of
millions Of additional could not benefit the world
more than this single, and, as we are told, truly sim
pie invention"
A diploma has been awarded 10 the Inventor by the
executive committee of the n Y. State Agricultural
Society.

To those farmers of the West who do not choose
to sell at present rates, the n Y. Journal Of Com
MERGE addresses the following
We take the liberty to inform the West that
there are now stores provided in New York at the
Atlantic Dock, &c. where grain be stored to al
most any extent, at half cent per month per bushe
If placed in these stores. the grain is on hand to meet
any emergency; and it is uncommon thing for an
adverse wind or an accidental smallness of arrivals
to cause considerable advance in prices for the
ment. The ability to take advantage of the fluctua-
tons of the market, is very great affair-overbal-
ancing the cost of storage ten fold. As to the interest
on the value of the article it is the same here as
elsewhere Wheat here is also near to mills, which
convert it into -four Immediately, if that is de-
sired"

CONSISTENCY The Journal of the Ist instant
thinks the course Of the Sentinel on the question of
annexng Mexican territory, is inconsistent and unac
countabe, because in July last we asked ''why Mr..
MCarty and the Liberty Party talk of the difference
between the acquisition Of new territory by conquest
and purchased" and further, asked "who has ad
vocated the conquest of any portion of the Mexican
territory as permanent acquisition" and because
we say that are in favor of boundary based
upon the Sierra Madre chain of mountains, which will
include the whole valley of the Rio Grande.
The Journal Is disposed to laugh outright at what
it is pleased to consider as evidence of our progres
sion" on this subject. Very well: the Journal has
been so long crying over the misortunes of its dear
friends, the Mexicans that a change of its lugubrous
mornings into something more jolly, must be crafty
ing to its readers.
But we are neither Inconsistent, have pro-
crossed any farther than the course Of events and
sound wisdom has required and will justify We
er expected to take anything else but territory in sat-
sfaction of claims Mexico for the good reason
that they can give nothing else. But we have never
advocated the war for the sake of such territory but
merely for the purpose of teaching the Mexicans
that they deal with us Justly in all respects.
From the commencement of the war to the last de-
feat, the SOLVE branch" has been offered the Mex
leans after every BLOWN accordance with what we
have considered the mPotic policy originally proPos-
ed by Senator Crucnden. They have as often refus-
ed to come honorable terms, the proposition has
been made; and have rejected offers of accommoda-
ton and settlement through other agency Our gov
ernmcnt has thus been forced to carry on the war
against It's own wishes and we confess that we have
progressed" far if progress can be called
make the Mexcans, instead of our own people, suffer
the consequences. They should be made to pay
large portion if not the whole of the war expenses
and if they pay them in nothing else but territory
and if we can, in the settlement, fix upon a good
boundary by taking few acres, think it would
be neither unjust nor unwise so to do.

The News FROM Mexico We devote conside-
rabe space in paper to-day TO the particulars of
the late operations before and at the city OF Mexico
They full of interest to the reader, the palnfuness
of which is blended with amazement at the daring,
and the most unqualified admiration Of the heroism of
our army It seems scarcely credible that force of
seven or eight thousand men could storm city OF
80 900 inhabitants so we'll defended Mexico, and
filed with $4,000 troops, and take II IN the face OF
the appalling dangers. But if their daring ex-
cites special wonder, how much greater Is our admI
ration of the subordinaiion order and ready and I'M
hestatng obedience to the commands Of their superior
officers exhibited by troops flushed with victory
cited with the ardor of BATTLE indignant the teach
cry manifested by their foe and enraged by the deaths
of their companions, shot down in the streets after
the surrender of the city. What an admirable state
of discipline does il eyince and how molly it sets of
the character of the American soldier, that In the
midst Of this whlrwlnd OF passion, with every lncen-
tive to excess he should nobly govern his feelings
and listening only to the voice of authority and hu
manity render ready assistance to restore order to
the distracted city and protect the lives and proper
ty of the inhabitants. The population seemed TO
understand intuitivey the character OF soldiers,
and however much they may have detested them as
invaders, showed no lack of confidence in them as
men moved by humanity and consideration for fallen
foe. But few days elapsed since the streets were
deluged with the blood of the vctors when order
wares, the theatres opened their doors, and amuse-
ments held out their attractions, though the city
was in profound state of peace, and the tramp OF
soldiers, the martial music, and the array of armed
and gtterng columns were but the necessary attend
ants upon the rejoicings of celebration. We trust
that conduct metorious may be maintained long
as our troops remain in the enemys city, and that
the order of things by inspiring the people with
full confidence and protecting them in their rights,
will convince them of the difference between authori
y, exercised by Americans, and the exacions and
expressions Of their own rulers And we may hope
that the carnage at the capital is the last act in the
tragedy in which the United States have been un-
willingly compelled to take conspicuous part Next
co will hardly dare meet the American army in another
field. The guerilas may continue their attacks or
isolated parties but the large accessons to Gen. Scots
force will enable him to occupy the principal towns
the the city, and confine the operations o.
these savages within very narrow bounds. Addition
al troops will be needed if the country is TO be held
until permanent peace shall be made, and they
should be sent in such numbers will secure the hole
already obtained, and show the utter hopelessness
further resistance.-Pa. Ledger.

OLD BERKs-A STATE.-The following deserved
compliment to 'Od Berks," we find recorded in the
Democratic Union. Read it; all true.
During close Presidential election in Pennsylva-
mia, years ago, and long before the ''ghtning
line" was established, gloomy party of Ohio poll
tcians were sitting down in small Office in Columbus,
Ohio, cyphering out the of Pennsy lvania,
see if n could possibly be made 90 for tie demo-
cratic candidate; and it 50 happened that old Berks
amongst the last counties to be received. All
eyes In Ohio then turned to the sterling democ-
acy OF the keystone county OF the Keystone State
but it seemed be hoping against hope expect
county TO change the result, TO hem it then stood
Suddenly, however, the postmans horn was heard, a
messenger despatched to the post-oice, the re-
turns brought in--Bcrks was good for 1000 majority
for the Democracy, and Pennsylvania was redeemed.
Then it that the eloquent Brough cried out in
paroxysm of delight, by the eternal, from this day
forth, let old Berks be State" If old Berks was
worthy of being called State then we see no reason
why she should not HOU be called democratic Con-
federacy."

The Franklin Democrat observes :

CHTA long time ago we told our readers that we
bad no confidence in the Democracy of Gov. Porter
of Pa because he advocated certain wing measures,
and in various ways played into the hands of the
Wings. The &" Democratic Union" published at
Harrlsburgh, now says
in the election of 1916, for Canal Commissioner,
DAVID r. PORTER sustained James NJ Power, named
of his canal boats after him, and openly opposed
William B. Foster, the nominee Of the Democratic
party; and in the late election he openly opposed
Gov Skunk and supported James Irwin, the Federal
candidate for Governor"
Porter has committed the mistake which many
other politicians have committed before HMM
thinking that he stronger than democratic princi-
pies or the democratic party. His will be the fate OF
all similar traitors.

DOMESTIC ExcHANGEs.-The country is now in
singular position in relation 10 domestic exchanges
Not only bills England discount, but bills
on New York at a discount all the West and
South. Any where you may have drafts at par, and
there large lying here to the credit Of banks
all over the country, which those banks cannot draw
for, because nobody in their locality wants money
here. This state of things proves how great and how
profitable has been the produce business. 1t shows
too, that the people have exhausted their resOur-
ces in purchases, but have paid up their debts
and have idle surplus. So if a merchant at any
point has taken 1000 bushels of wheat from his vari-
Gus customers at 100 cents, and sold it in New York
for l75 cents making p cents profit all charges
there will be $3.50 left to his credit somewhere. If
the farmers only expend hree-fourths of the price
which they receive, there will be a balance due 10
them and if the shipper here sells the wheat for
profit in England, there will be balance left him;
and as the demand for English goods here is only for
threefourhs of the original of the wheat if all
along the line of this prosperous business the parties
expend but three-fOurths of the profits which they
make, then there will be surplus all along the line.
This, we take 1t, is Just the at present; and
without a national bank or a protective tariff, we
have exchanges not at par merely but above par,
all these directions in which it said that these
machines were necessary to prevent drains of coin and
bankruptcy. Plainly other eNpedient must be
devised to break the banks and ruin the country be-
sides free trade; for that produces exactly the oppO
site etfects-N. y Jour. OF Gem.

whig trick of using Taylor's name, as follows

The Boston Post notices the effect produced by the
whig trick of using TaylOr's name, as follows:
In Tennessee, the wing presses mostly carry the
name Of Gen. Taylor for President, and wing gov
ernor was chosen. In Georgia, Taylor's name sur
mounted that of Gen. Clinch, wing, and a democrat
is chosen for the first time In several years. In Ma
ryland, several of the wing papers for Gen. Tay-
Tor, and democrat is chosen Governor In Penn
sylvania Gen. Taylor has advocates both Sides and
democrat is elected Governor by an old fashioned
majority. Sans Proriere.
The franklin Democrat observes:
1t is evident that the Taylor fever has gone.
al with whg progeny, to an early grave. At the clos
ing of the New York Wing State Convention, per-
feet remission took place that body closed its labors
by giving THREE CHEERS FOR HENRY Clay That

Gen. Lane, with 5000 men, including Major Lally's

ed to advance towards Puebla the following day.
Major L., who had been some weeks at Jalapa, re-
ceved word from Col. Chids. commander of the
American garrison Puebla, requesting him to move
forward with the least practicable delay. From ia
lapa to Perote is about 40 miles, and TO Puebla 80
miles 1t is known that several thousand Next
can troops were in and about Pueba, including, it is
said, about 2t00 cavalry, commanded by Santa Anna
in person. Gen. Lane will therefore, it is probable,
have severe battle at or before his arrival at Pueba
he would there have the cooperation of the Anne
rican garrison about 800 strong, it would seem to
have been the policy Of the Mexcans to meet him
distance this side of Pueba say at Amosque, in
the hope Of cutting him off. We are inclined to
think they will find him hard customer, as he has
sme powder before, having commanded in the battle
of Buena Vista, and is at the head of fine body of
men who will give good account of themselves. The
next arrival from Vera Cruz will probably bring us
the result of the engagement, whatever it may be-
