The TucKERNAS MAIL ROBBERY CAs..--
The Boston Journal, abiding to the alleged
robberies Of the mail by Tuekerman, says the
statement that he confessed the crime 10
untrue:
"Ile has made some acknowledgements TO
Mr.. Holbrook. the mail agent, but what these
may be are locked mp in the possession Of tho

Zone important item OF proof against tho
prisoner is furnished by testimony OF Tuck

occasion, on entering the Office, he saw his
employer s1,ptying mail bag and burning
letters as fast as he glanced at them. The
boy merely remarked to Mr.. Tuckerman that
be seemed to have a large mail, and the latter
made no reply. The boy thought nothing
further the matter until he saw MIR. Tucker
mans arrest mentioned ip the newspapers,
when lie made this fact known to Mr.. Hoyt,
the Superintendent OF the New York aud
New Haven Railroad.
"The proof OF the prisoners guilt is deeme d
entirely conclusive but the story that coun-
terieit bill was found in his carpet bag, or
that he had $500 on the Lee Bank is untrue.

G. Coal SLhrEg.-Nr. Jacob Gass, Of
Trevortop, in this county, has invented
machine for separating slate from coal, which
is described by The Scientific Anuiean a.
follows:
This machine accomplisbes that which has
heretofore been done by hand labor, viz, the
separation Of slate from coal. The slotted
cylinder allows the oblong pieces of slate to
escape the beyeed ribs insure the escape
Of the same, by preventing their motion. and
causing them to assume vertical position !;

coal to escape without any slate whatever

ber Of others, was unable TO get room at
any of the Hotels. was, however, enstalled
last night into very good room as an espe-
cial favor. The bad repute and consequent
breaking up Of the National Hotel has thrown
large surplus into the other houses. The
National has, however, been renovated,
cleansed out and painted, and is now almost
ready for guests. 1t is said that some three
hundred cart loads OF dirt and filth were
taken from the cellar and Easements. The
rooms now smell sweet enough, which is more
than can be said of the street in the neigh
borhood. The Hotels in Washington were
never noted for cleanliness, nor for the ex
cellence OF their tables. Grease is an impor
portant element in the preparation OF theiI
disbes-and that not always of the mos
savory character.

gentleman of superior abilities, and hi
views on slavery are less ultra and not 81
obnoxious to the North as those Of most o

tention was the election of printer to th

most distinguished position in the gift of th
government.
The printing Of Congress is enormous, the pre-
