Mr Beach of the New York Sun, hajust invented anewiideaa —a press that prints both sides of a newspaper at once. As this dots away with 50 per cent of the Jvbor, it will be seen that Mr. Beach’s press is a matter of the first importance. The improvements on the printing press during the past twenty years are, perhaps greater than the improvements on any other labor saving machine known to be possesed by the country. In 1830, it was u fast press that printed 1,000 sheets an hour. Some five years since Hoe i Co. invented a press that printed 20,000 an hour. He is now building one for a New Y’ork journal that will print 40,000 sheets in an hour. This seems an impossibility, and yet he is bound to produce this result, or not charge for his press. That the country should require such a press, speaks well for the intelligence of “the only free people,” and shows that the reading powers ot the Model Republic are constantly on the increase. With such a press, and the school house open to every body, there i» no earthly reason why the inhabitants of the United States shoul 1 ■ not become the most virtuous and best informed mon and women in the world. Anil then look at the moral effect of such ■ a press. A machine that works 40,000 ! newspapers in an Lour, possesses more power than the standing army of Fiance. ‘ Such a press in Paris, without the trnmfni'ls,’ would leilece Louis Napoicau's occupation of the Imperial Throne to a single day. Lui ted Slates .Mint. From the annual report of the Director to the President of the United States, we learn that the amount of gold tin J silver bullion received during 1350, at the Mint und its branches, including the assay office, was as follows:—Gold deposits, 855-1 078,402 20; silver deposits, including purchases, 85,120,631 43 Total, 860,199,036 63. The coinage at all the mints for 1856, including bars, was ns follows: Gohl coins, 836,697,773 50; silver coins, 81,135,420; copper coins, 827,106 78; gold bars, §22,645,596 85; silver bars, 861,430 17. Total amount of coinage, including bars, 861,568,142 33. Number of pieces of coin struck, 33,875,847; the number of gold and silver bars, 7,119. The above statement presents the entire amount received and operated upon at al! the mints an I the assay office; but it is proper to remark that some of the bulli >n received at San Francisco and formed into b.u<, is subsequently deposited at the mining establishment, and the deposits received for coinage at the assay office are transferred to the mint. Deducting these re-deposits, the actual amount of gold and silver leceived during the year was 853,018,926 63. 'J be Progress of Invention. It appears that during the four years previous to 1853, the average annual number of applications for Patents at the United States Patent Office, was 2522; while for the four subsequent years such average will be about 4000. The number of patents annually issued during the former period, averages 990, during the latter about 1359 For the current year the whole number of applications made, the whole number of patents grunted, and the amount of revenue received w ill respectively be at least double what they were in any previous year. The number of application's Tor-patents at the United States office the last year, was greater than that in any other country, having been 4436, against 2958 in Great Britain and 4056 in I' rance. For the present tear it is thought that the njiuiber of app'iaatitsu will reach Six*’,

<From the Cleaveland [sic] Plain Dealer>. The Pilgrimage of the Mormons. It is one of the remakable [sic] features of this age, this pilgramage [sic] of people from all Europe and America, excited by a religious fervor and the same fascinating hopes which drew the Isrealites through the wilderness towards the land of Palestine. Saturday night there arrived ten or twelve carloads of emigrants Mormons, on the Lake Shore Rail Road, bound for the Salt Lake Valley. They were about eight hundred in number and comprised English, Scotch, and Welch [sic] people of the middle and lower classes, some from villages and some from the farms of the fatherland. There was a sprinkling from the continent also, all having sailed from Liverpool. They arrived at the port of Boston on the 20th of April, in the ship George Washington.— The Toledo Railroad Company, on their arrival here furnished them with passenger and emigrant cars, in which they spent the Sunday, being locked in to prevent the approach of the curious and intrusive crowds which gathered to the depot to witness the spectacle. The better sort seemed to have the best quarters, and among these, the appearance of a goodly number of bright, rosy, intelligent looking English girls attracted the admiration and sympathy of bystanders. Some were engaged in writing letters to their friends in the old country, and others in reading, or looking out at the inquisitive crowd. Their leaders seem to have forbidden them the freedom of the city, and they were prisoners almost in the cars, where they slept, cooked and dined. They had now accomplished in twenty-seven days nearly four thousand miles by sea and land, and have before them three thousand miles more of land travel, amid perils and hardships which they little anticipate. It is sad to think how many of them will sink upon the plains and leave their bones to mark the wilderness road. They left this morning for St. Louis by the Toledo Road. The glowing pictures which the Mormon Missionaries have given to the crowed populations of Europe, of the valley of' Utah, are calculated to seduce many of them to its fertile acres. Oppressed by 'laws, half-starved by high prices and impoverished by the taxes, the scarcity of !work, and the competition of crowded population, it is easy to see with what relief they welcome the invitation of these apostles of Mormon. The same inducements are drawing hundreds of thousand to the more accessible borders of our Western States, and giving hardy hands to till the, acres, and build the roads of the new countries. Mormonism is by its religious rites and practices odious to the civilized sentiment of the age. It encourages a vicious social system and defies the authority of the Government. It is, however, the belief of those who desire the solution of this problem of the Governorship of Utah, that a Governor will be sent out, possessing firmness and strength sufficient to control the people in their relations to the Government without interfering in their domestic concerns. On the future destiny of the Mormons the Washington <Star> has the following practical observations:— Already nearly every foot of land in the great desert of the Continent that is susceptible of profitable cultivation even with irrigration, is occupied and improved by them; and the population of their State or settlements is so redundant as that they are forced to send forth colonies to California and elsewhere. Oregon and Washington Territories and New Mexico also, are destine to shelter other such Mormon off shooting colonies; and in so doing they will check its growth, dispel the delusion of its victims, and extract its fangs. It can be formidable only where, as in Utah it controls popular opinion. We believe that a firm and prudent successor of Brigham Young in the Governorship of the Territory, and the impossibility that Utah can sustain a much larger population than it contians [sic] at present, will work eventually, the cure for the evils. We should be loth indeed to see the arms, of the United States aimed against a people in our own midst who are simply, crazy-drunk with liberty. We design no extinuation [sic] of their mortal enormities, nor to save them from the intense odium of American popular opinion now resting upon them. Time, and intercourse with Americans—fur most of them are poor ignorant foreigners—must be relied on to effect their reformation, unless the Government resorts to force to compell them to abandon the rites—practices—of their church, which, as horibie [sic] as they are, are not to be eradicated legally in any such way. To attempt it, by force would cost an enormous amount to the national treasury. A large army would be necessary to prosecute the civil war such an experiment would engender, for which, on the part of the Government, all the supplies would necessarily have to be sent across the country in wagons; as, if the Mormons were willing to provision them for pay such case, the grasshoppers invariably put it out of their powers so to do.

Stephen A. Douglas. ’ The New York Tribune, which has » recently affected penitence for its nutnerI ous breaches of all decency and propriety 0 in its language to political opponents- — •: lecturing the Herald and Tinies, both de- ' cent journals in the general tone of their p editorials, for their .security to one another having repeated some of the foul ' I abuse which has delighted for years past 11 ' to shower upon the distinguished states- •' man of the West, (of whom all honorable Americans delight to speak in terms of euleogy and pride,) the New York Ex- ' pressVeplies that the Tribune may say ol 1 i Douglas what its propensity to assail ey'jerybody to whom it may be politically , * opposed in language of blackguardism e prompts, but that it cannot change the settled and universal conviction of the 1! people of the country, of ail parties, that ‘ Stephen A. Douglas is the great man of • the country —an honor to the American f character and name. This from a bitter political foe, whose doctrines Douglas recently assailed so vigorsouly in the senate, r in the discussion on the Minnesota Bill, is ' as credable to the Express as the lam ■' guage of the Tribune is diegrwooful. . * - [ Harper's Weekly also has a handsome I tribute to Senator Douglas, in which noI ticing the candidates for foreign appointIments before the present Administration, r i it suggests that Stephen A. Douglas be ,] sent to ti e Court of St. James as the i! best representative of American genius, , character and energy, of all public men. ’' We cannot second the proposition of Har- ’■ per’s though we corffially acquiesce in the compliment it pays to the ‘Littt’e Gii ‘ ant.' The country —especially the Great I West—cannot, in these momentous and I ciitical times, dispense with the wisdom iand manhood- which have-so long and HO 1 ! effeceintly marshaled and led her forces' f io victory. — Cin. Enquirer. April 22. Late .Yewsfrom the Indian Outbreak—A Battle Fought Between the Indians and Volunteers—Twelve Indians killed. | Our latest inlelligence from the ; scene of the Indian troubles in Minnesota j is to the effect that on the 12th inst., a '! battle was fought near the Watonwan. ' River, about thirty miles above Mankato, i /between the St. Peter volunteers, tin- ! der Ger,. Dodd, and the Indians. Twelve , Indians were kilheJ, besides a number 1 wounded. Tne volunteers did not lose a 1 man. The St. Peter boys behaved nobly. I The steamer Equator rrrived at St. I I Patil on the IGtli Cist., with a large num i ; ift-r ot passengers from Mankato and St I Peter. Os these were probably twenty, five families, or parts of families, who had . ' left on account of the troubles. In the St. Pau! papers of the 17th, is another letter from Mr. Hezlcp, of St Peter, dated 13. b. It contains the fol j lowing: •The utmost consternation has taken J possession of the minds of our people. — !

Seiinglhe mail from] Mankato, I have only time to say that the last and I most reliable news from the ’.var is that a battle Lad taken place yesterday (.Sunday) morning on the Blue Earth, and some six or eight Indians were killed —no ' whites.

A commitee of three—Stone, , Catlin, and Andrews, with Hugins for J interpreter, has gone to hold counsil with Lira and see what he is doing. It is said , 'that these Indians who are out against the whites, are part of Sleepy Eyes, and part of Red Iron's bands. Now if the i ; Government has made no move to send | ‘j up help, we must help ourselves, and ' ‘Extermination’is the watch-word. The; : most I fear now, is for provisions. The ' people are crowding in upon us from the country, and we have a very short supply. ’ We sent the great proportion of what we had out yesterday with the volunteers to j ’ ' help Mankato. Send up ammunition, j ‘ arms and provisions, and see that such \ “ j are sent without delay. We shall look ’ anxiously for a boat.

Me Cnt'ocli as Governor of’’lah—A Northern Mau to be Governor of Nebraska. Washiwgton, Sunday. April 26. The delay in the appointment of a GovI ernor for the Territory erf Utah has been occasioned by the difficulty of finding a ! suitable man who would accept the post, j It his been offered to and declined by | i several gentleman Before Major Ben. I ; McCulloch accepted the post of Marshal- i ,hip ofjTexas, he hud been consulted by , some of his friends upon the subject of -hl-. G • -I uwi-hip. it »<« thought that ,-.s a man of character, courage, address u'.J humanity he would be able to meet ! and master al. the difficulties cf the situition. He then expressed a willingness to ac :?pt the office if he should be appointed. But senator Rusk and other-, who ’ were deeply impressed with the impor-; tance of seettriag the services of Major] , Me Callcch in the construction of the I . ] wagon road from El Paso to Fort Yuma, ] I could not spare liim for service in Utah. , But it now appears from a paragraph in j the Union that the Government, is obliged to resort to Major McCulloch as the most , suitable man for the place, wiiosc service they can command.

It is probable, therefore, that the ‘Saints’ will soon be provided with a ‘Gentile’ as their Governor instead oftheir ‘Prophet, Priest and King.’ Brigham Young cannot be stripped of his priesthood, nor of his gifts Ur prophecy, by the pecular authorities, but his political and military rale will be modified by its I subjugation to the authority of Governor 1 McCulloch and General Harney. That a j conflict will take place between the U. S. ■ authorities and the Mormons is not itnproable. It is decided to remove Gov. Izard, of Nebraska. His removal has been delay-1 |ed by the charges preferred against him,! and the propriety of affording him an op- ; portunity to refute them. But all charges have been withdrawn, and he will ibe superseded in a few days. It has | been stated that a Southern man. as here- I tofore, would be selected a* Governor of; ■ this Territory. But, inasmuch as South- i <ru men have been appointed to Kansas, I and as a Southern man will be selected j for Utah, it is believed that a Governor | from Nebraska will be taken from the j North. Insult to the Presidest.-Ii is stated .as a fact, (we wish it were not so.) that |as the President elect, Mr. Buchanun, : was passing through the city of Baltimore en route for Washington, his carriage was ■-toned by a party of Know Nothino-g, . and that some of the missiles struck and seriously injured some members of the Lancaster Fencibles, who constituted the presidential military escort. Shame upi on a party that would thus ineffably sti*--1 matize themselves and tender ruffian in.suit to the Executive elect of the whole people. — Mi-isiss ipp ian. The half has not been told in regard to that disgr?-eful affair. Instead ofa pubj lie reception as advertised the President | was taken in a private carriage to the .

M. train to Washington, as i announced, he took the three 3 o’clock train, arrivj .g a ll out of time and defeat ling the erand reception intended.

Indian Troubles in Nebraska. ! News reached this city by telegraph ; ■ 1 from St. Louis to-day of a fight between | ' the Pawnee Indians and the white set., upon Salt river, which resulted in the. death of one of the settlers and Indians, and the capture by the whites of. thirteen Pawnees. These Indians are | now, and have been for several > c<.r. c , < tremely poor, and in a most deplorable [condition of suffering and want. Ac-1 counts from their country received by t.ie ; last mails represented them as in a s^arv-. inn condition. So extreme is their pover- j ty and suffering that they have been com-. 1 relied to subsist in many instances upon ■ i the flesh cf their cl-Ldren. 11 is supposed | ;by gentlemen familiar with then e:er that the late collision with the white | settlers has been brought about in con-, sequence of the Indians killing slo-a to, [subsist upon in their desperate excrem y- , rs this is the case, it will in some degree , palliate what might under other circumstances be considered a great outrage on ! the part of the Indians.

tical with the third comet of 1 848, discovered by Brorson —an elliptic orbit for which has been computed by Dr. Von Galen, by which it returns to its perihelion June 25th of the nresent year. The first ec.net is increasing its distance from the eajth; the second is approaching, and will be visible during the whole of May. The first is now in Aunges, the second in I Perseus. A writer in the St. Louts Republican attributes the unprecedented cold weathwhich has prevailed over the whole country during the present month to the influ- ■ ence of the comet. He says that similar changes in the climate have been observed before, during the passage of comets near the earth. The comet of 1806 is said to have brought with a dense and i unpleasant fog, which lasted for twentyone days; that of 1826 was accompanied i by heavy rains and consequent inundations; and unusually cold and severe weather was prevalent at the time of the! appearance of tiie brilliant comet of March ! 1343.

A deep, dark mystery enshrouded the assassina- . tion. which is now being lifted to reveal a j new phase of social shame and crime, I fatally mistaken in its aim. A clue has' been obtained which promises to develop the fact that young Tanner was killed by mistake for another man—that other man' me husband of a wife for whom the ass- ’ assin had conceived a passion; and the I f murder was io remove the husband from between him and the object of his guilty love!
