Recent and nore authentic adYices seem
to put different complexion on the Bel
mont affair. The first impression Of it,
being failure and disaster, was from the
idea that the object Of the expedition was
to capture Columbus, or at least to take
and hold Belmont In this impression
many Of the participants in the expedition
shared SO that they came back feeling re-
pulsed and beaten, and gave expression
to that feeling IN kilograms aud letters, It
seems they were too hasty II their con

made the object Of the movement generally
known to his men.
Whatever may have been the object Of
the expedition, (Gen- Grant says it Was to
prevent Polk from sending reinfercements

plan to hold Belmont The enemys camp

Exporting Illinois Corn to Rn gland.
Tf7rom The New York Tr1huna1

We have, by the help Of stringent tariff,
retained all the Gold that has reached us 1rom
the Pacific and added to it some $50 900 600
from Europe since this atrocious war was
forced upon US but Ne must be- prepared to
lose Thirty or Fifty Millions In tha course OF
1862, should the War continue through that
year. Had the tariff Of 1857 been left IN force,
we believe the balance Of trade With Europe
would have been against us this year, aud our
banks thereby rendered unable to help the
Government, IS they noblJ and wisely haye
done. Let them be called on to spare $4,000
COO Per week to London and Paris instead OF
receiving coin from the Old World, and their
ability to take and pay for Treasury Notes
Bonds will be sadly diminished. So long a.
the current Of specie sets this way, they can
do vsry much as they please.
GrsIn jB very poor reliance for the main
te1ance Of favorable balance Of trade, We
doubt whether it is ever really profitable to
send so bulky staple across half continent
and au OCEAN. The cost OF transportation cats
up the cargo. Thus the CHICAGO TRIBUNE

PATENT NEWSPAPER FOLDER The Eastern
Argus states that Mr.. G. L. Bailey an ingen-
ious mechanic of Portland, has invented
machine for folding papers, one of the sim
plest and most complete contryances the ed
itor has ever seen. 1t takes the papers from
the table of the press as fast as they are prin-
ted and delivers them, altogether of its own
motion, ready for direction, more neatly and
evenly folded than is usually done by hand.
This saves the entire expense Of folding. The
machine is so simple that it is not likely TO
get out of order, and there is 10 reason why
it should not run for many years without need
for any repairs. The power is very Slight.
and the price will be very much less than of
any other machine invented for that purpose.
The Argus predicts it will distance all com
petitors and will be so cheap and useful that
the proprietors Of newspapers cannot afford
to do without it. Mr.. Bailey has taken stens
to secure patent for his invention and will
soon have his machine in the market.
