The following trial of the Little Giant Corn & Cob Mill, which we copy from the Cincinnati Gazette, will be interesting to our Farmer readers. These mills can be procured at Bir ken mayer & Brewster's Agricultural Warehouse, at manufacturers prices, in this city, who are the only agents. for the central part of the state. '1 ; t. ' Quite an excitement was created here this afternoon, growing out of a contest between corn crushers. It appears that some two weeks since Messrs Scott fc Hedges, of Cincinnati, advertised in the papers of this city that they would give a silver cup to any mill that should grind faster and finer with the same amount of power, than their mill, the "Little Giant.'V ' They appeared in due time upon the ground, with two sizes of mills. The Leavitt mill, or Excelsior as it is called, was entered for competition by Messrs. Hall & Allen, who are manufacturing them in this place, Mr. Leavitt, the patentee, was present and superintended the operating of his mill who at first was unwilling to have the trial made with old dry corn. Mr. Hedges, who exhibited the Little Giant, insisted on usinir the old corn, as he was unwilling to have only a partial test, which would be the case if soft, new corn was used. , Finally, after much hesitation, they yielded to Mr. Hedges' demand. The grinding commenced with the Little Giant, which ground a given quantity of corn in Sixtythree revolutions, using two light horses on the No. 4 mill, which moved off easily, and ground the amount without stopping. A half bushel of meal was sifted and about one quart out of the amount was found too coarse to pass through the sieve. . The committee that had been appointed to superintend and decide the contest, then repaired to the Leavitt mill, when about the same amount of corn ' was ground, -which required "73 revolutions, although Mr. Leavitt worked but one horse, which was a very heavy stout one, the draft was evidenily too hard for him, as :he stopped three-times and was allowed to rest. On sifting the meal there proved to be five or six quarts too course lo pass the sieve, instead of one as in the case of the Little Giant. The committee after a few moments consultation reported substantially as above, and returned the cup to Mr. Hedges, who thankod them kindly, and remarked that it twice before had been won over the Leavitt mill, and if a favorable occasion offered it would be risked again. Mr. Hedges then called the attention of those present, saying that he would grind soms shelled corn then put one bushel in the hopper, which was ground out in four minutes at a moderate walk. Mr.. Leavitt ground a like quantity, and was five minutes his horse being hurried to a considerable more speed no sieve was used, but it was admitted by all that it was much coarser than that ground by the Little Giant. Mr. H., then, at the request of some farmers, ground some new corn very satisfactory. Mr. Leavit ground some also, which appeared very fine but upon taking the mill apart, it was found to be gorged with cobs, admitting only the shelled corn to pass. In the opening of the contest the Little Giant had but few friends, all seeming to be in favor of " our Mill" but the

earnestness and assurance with winch Mr. II. pressed the contest, gained for it friends, although at one time there was a semblance of hostile demonstrations, which our good people soon quieted and the matter ended quite pleasantly, and the Little Giant came off triumphant.

The Threatened Bupture between England and America a Sensible Article. From the Li.crpuol Times. The British public were as much startled as the people of the United States will be by the appearance of an artiele in the leading journal of Thursday, relative to the misunderstanding between this country and the American .Union. The article to which we refer will be found in another part of our impression, and although we admit that the tone of the writing in the journal refered to is for the most part unexceptionable, still, this intemperate diatribe has been very generally condemned, and certainly has met with no response on this side of the water. This as a test of public opinion in England is conclusive, and the commercial world were put in possession for the first time, through the medium in question, of the fact that the Governments of the two countries were not on terms as friendly as formerly. The Earl of Ellesmere, in a lecture which he delivered the other evening on the subject of the Russian war, to the persons in his own immediate neighborhood, made a remarkable statement remarkable, certainly, when taken in connection with the inflated and bellicose spirit of the article in the Timft,' announcing that the British Government had largely reinforced the West India squadron, in order to check the filibustering expeditions of the worst portions of American society. If you were to ask me," said his lordship, "which was the most warlike nation in the world, I would say the United States of America. They have many thousands of miles of frontier, and they have next to no army at all; but they have a large population, accustomed to the use of arms, and ready to volunteer in any military expidition. When the invasion of Mexico was projected, which was rather a bucaneering sort of an expedition, the Government advertised for men, and an army of 20,000 were forthcoming in a fortnight. This is what I call a warlike nation." . . V Lord Ellesmere hn rather under than overstated the case, for we have heard, or read, that in the City of New York alone, 5.000 volunteers were enrolled in a single day, and at least twice that number were rejected, the strongest proof of the correctness of the deduction at which he had arrived. To address, then, to this inflammable people, such language as the Times uses, in reference to the misunderstanding between the two countries, can have no other object than to precipitate hostilities, and produco the very calamities which the writer professes to deplore. See, for instance, how a desire for peace can be insultiiiglv conveyed: We desire, above all things," says the first leader . in the Times of Thursday, "a continuance of peace, but, if it be the determination of any large portion of the people of the United States to force war upon us, we shall know how to meet it and repel it, without relaxing, for an instant, our grip on the throat' of the reeling and tottering giant of the North."., . . , v This may appear striking, but in our judg ment it is very foolish writing, just that kind of bragadocia in which filibusters themselves indulge. There is no determination on the part of any "large portion" of the people of the Union to pick a quarrel with us quite the contrary. All the men of property and position in the country, all the classes which have the greatest influence on public opinion, would deeply regret a rupture with .hngland, and nothing short of national dishonor, or national insult, would induce them to counsel it; but it must be clear to every cool and reflective man that this defiant style is the most effectual method of neutralizing the moral influence of the classes to which we refer, and of strengthening, in the .same propoiv lion, all the loafers and filibusters who are anxious for mischief. . " In a letter to the N. Y. Times, dated London, Friday, Oct. 20th, Kossuth says: Sir: It was Saturday last I first got notice that the English Government has actually dispatched a very respectable flotilla across the Atlantic. The idea of bullying the people of the United States appeared to me so improbable that, notwithstanding my having got the news from a creditable source, J could not bring my mind to believe the fact. However you will know by this time that it is really a fact., No plan, but actual execution already. ' You will , by this mail receive likewise the Times of yesterday, and see from it the exense, or rather the : pretext for the daring demonstra tion of Lord Palmerston. I he idea of a meditated fillibustering expedition on Ireland, is such nonsense, (unless the world is in absolute ignor- ! ance of what is passing in America,) that the public here absolutely laughed at the bare folly " of the plea and having a higher opinion of the f abilities of their Ministers than to admit that. they could act on such hallucinations, the public' strains every, nerve to discover what the affair really means. - Some talk of Cuba the better informed shake their head, on the plea that nothing is stirring for the moment in the West to justify this supposition, and public speculation rather tnrns about Greytown,: Nicaragua, and so on. At all events, men almost universally admit that unless Lord Palmerston has very stringentand very positive facts to bear out his measure, it was an unjustifiable temerity on his part to challenge the American people under existing circumstances. And of two things you can rest assured. The first is, that the commercial classes of Great Britain are extremely alarmed at the bare idea of the possibility of a conflict with the United States, the second is, that nobody believes that Brother Jonathan will prove a coward, and will condescend to excuses. That rests with the people of the United States to decicide. At all events, I would think that, as it is especially the weakness of President Pierce and his Cabinet upon which the fault is lain by the organs of the English Government, it would be but proper in your Government to take some inspiration from the people's dignity. We look with great interest for news from America. ... Distressing Occurrence House Burned with a young Lady in it. J. B. Dobbins, Esq., residing on Honey Creek, in Johnson co., White River township, states, that on Saturday morning last, between 9 and 10 o'clock, A. M.," the house of Mrs. Catharine Bell, of an adjoining farm, was destroyed by fire, consuming a lame young lady by the name of Lavinia Craig, who was a niece of Mrs. Bell, a widow lady. Mrs. B. bad gone to the distance of half a mile to milk some cows, and on her return, discovered her house in flames. A portion of the body, and all the bones of the unfortunate Miss Craig, were found among the ruins, amy aoiiars in paper money was in the house when Mrs. B. left. The fire is supposed to have been accidental. Jour.

CORRESPONDENT'S TRAIN

New Route from the East to St Louis. The traveling public generally do not seem to be aware, that the shortest and best route is now by Indianapolis. The rival routes are by Chicago, and the Ohio River, and this Central route is 85 miles nearer than either of the others; a fact be seen by a glance at the map. From this point west the traveler goes to Tcrre Haute, and thence via Vincennes to St Louis, all by railroad. The road from Terre Haute via Alton will also be in operation by the beginning of winter, thus offering two routes from Terre Haute West. The great gates leading from tho east to the west are Cleveland, Pittsburg, and Wheeling, and from each of these points to Indianapolis the railroad routes are very direct. In short, we consider that any man, who does not take this new route, and see the rich, prosperous and growing country of interior Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, is a hopeless fogy of the worst class. An Idea for Some Folks. Ma. Editoh: I understand that the citizens of your town are making preparations for a very hard winter; when, as yet, there has been little or no snow, nor any unusual appearances of approaching snow or severe cold; but notwithstanding the present mildness of the weather, they appear to be greatly excited: have held meetings, and formed a great Wood Association, and it is confidently believed that by making extraordinary exertions, and sending agents out many miles on the railroads to purchase and ship hundreds of car loads of good, well seasoned, dry wood, they may possibly escape freezing, or some other horrible calamity, that they are very sure will happen them, unless they bestir themselves in time to avert it; and there is no doubt but the coal-fields will be visited, and a great quantity of coal purchased, shipped, and held in readiness, for you know there is no telling how soon the wood may all be consumed, and then, rather than freeze, they will pilch in the coal and let it smoke away, if their wives do scold about the dust and dirt bear it all patiently, for you know it will not answer to freeze in this new country, The City Fathers appear also to be watching the direction of the winds and clouds, and from certain signs the forebodings of the coming storm have,. after much deliberation, thought best to relieve said Company from the trouble and expense of having their wood measured, inasmuch as an emergency existed, and in order to facilitate the delivery of the wood as speedily as possible. . To be sure there are a great many people engaged in cutting and hauling wood to the city, for many miles around, but then, you know, some have said that they cheat in loading, putting all the nicest wood on the outside of the load, (having previously ceiled up the front end of their wood-bed,) and then filling up the centre with all manner of twisted, crooked wood. Well, to say the least, the city folks thought themselves badly cheated, and not very well warmed, by those men who haul wood on wagons. To be sure, they spend hundreds and thousands of dollars in the city every year, but that they will do anyhow, whether the city folks buy their wood or not. And then it is so very inconvenient for the city folk3 to buy wood of the farmers, as they all drive to the wood-yard to have their wood measured, (for which they pay a dime,) and we must tramp all the way to the wood-yard to buy, and then pay all it is wortli before we can get it. You know if the city folks can help themselves to wood it will be all right, as the farmers are a slow motioned sort of folks, and slower in making calculations, so they will not mind it, but will spend their money in the city just as free. Well, that may be so; but don't you know that Horace Greely has been talking to the farmers, and giving them lectures on financiering, which has pleased them well, and set thousands and tens of thousands to thinking, and calculating, and talking about things in a way they never did before; yes, and Joseph A. Wright speaks in very commendable terms of what Greely said to the farmers, (and Wright, you know is Governor of the great State of Indiana). It may be advisable for the city folks to proceed very cautiously in their extraordinary arrangements, lest the farmers, as they are receiving so many lectures On financiering from almost all the editors and great good men, may be disposed to think that city folks do not wish1 to buy their wood, and then it may be that they may feel themselves compelled by force of circumstances, as well as by the very bad example set by your great Wood Association, of forming themselves into some determined association for the purpose of sending abroad for their sugar, coffee, tea, and all sorts of necessaries for home consumption and Convenience, at the very cheapest rates. ;.
