The Mexican Revolution Details Of the Affai,
of Saltillo,

The Mexican Revolution-Details Of the Affair
Of Saltillo.
The news from the Rio Grande shows that
in spite of the attempts made to disguise the
fact by the Dictator's journals, the revolu-
tionists are fast making head in the North.
The defeat at Saltillo is much more imnor-
tant one than we were first led to suppose
two. thirds of Santa Annals forces under
Guitian and Cruz having been either killed,
wounded or taken prisoners. The battle
commenced at about s O'Clock A. NJ, on the
22d. and lasted until IL O'Clock A. NJ, the
next day, when the Plaza fell into the pos
session of the insurgents. The remains Of
the government forces. consisting of about
200 infantry and about $50 of the Dragons
Of the Guard and Of ssthe Guides" fed to-
wards San Luis Potosi, but were hotly pur-
sued by mounted rihemen, who succeeded in
completely dispensing them and in captur-
ing about 360, 900 in specie, besides large
amount OF stores and ammunition.
The moral effect of this victory will be dis
astrous to Santa Annals arms. 1t will rally
round the standard Of instruction all those
who are wavering and undecided. The fed
eralists seem to have men of energy and ca
pacity at their head, whilst the Dicsator's
minions betray all the weakness of purpose
and vacillation which usually accompany the
consciousness Of bad cause. In such
state of things il 10 impossible that the strug-
gle can be of long duration. The govern
mentforces, instead OF being able 10 assume
the offensive, are everywhere driven within
the protection of stronghoids; and too weak
even to bold these against the valor and inn
.petuositx. Of their enemies, there will soon
not be an adherent Of the Dictator left in che
whole of the Northern departments.
Asto Wolis his case seems hopeless. Shut
up in Matamoraswith : force Of only hoo
or 800 men, and rendered hateful to the
surrounding population BY the unnecessary
3harshness Of his measures he cannot possibly
resist the overwhelming numbsssuith which
he be taken, the nearest tres will probably
end : career marked BY but TOO many inci-
dents Of sanguinary brutality.[N. 7. Her-

EXACTLY So.--The Buffalo Commercial, in
an article relating to the wheat crop. and The
damage thereto by sprouting, .ys that the
worst that should be belirv d, is that the
wheat in tae Gene>ee region has been in
Jured '.Just enough to relace it tn the level
of first class Western or Canada grain.' In
connec ion, it speaks of tina :shumbug and
imposition," which for q long time has been
practced in regard to Gcncsee Hour, thus:
"For the last fifteen yenrs--cver since, in
fact, the wheat of that region attained its
high reputation--there has been sold, under
the designation Of ssGenesee,' at exasgera-
ted prices, at least ten times as much aour as
the entire product of the Genesee country
Canada, Ohio and white Michigan wheat,
all Of which resemble Genesee so closely,
that an experienced miller might we'll be
puzzled. to point out the difference, have been
mixed with the inferior wheat of Illinois and
Wisconsin, and made into -four, which has
been branded and sold as "Genesee," at a
price fur above its real value.
'sEvery day Rochester millers are in our
market buying Canadian wheat of all grades,
all of which when Toured is palmed off on
consumers as tsGenessee,'' at a price above
that which 1t would command if bearing q
Western brand. If, as before stated, the
Genesee wheat is bound to lose it's prestige
this year, the public will derive the advan-
tage of the fall of this description of -four to
its proper level. In quality it is no better
than the best white NJ. clligan, the white Ohio,
or the Canadian; but the trouble has been
that instead of falling to the value of these
descriptions of grain, its celebrity has ena-
bled it not only to keep its own price up a
bove the proper s;andard-but to palm of
under its name thousands of barrels of -four
made from other and inferior wheat.''
