p9-NEw COAL. DloaINa MAoHMR.-At
a meeting of the Pittsburgh Coal Exchange
the other day, Mr.. Grier, inventor of a
new coal digging machine, was present
and gave an account OF the operations of
his machine. He stated that he had been
experimenting withya small coal digging
machine with perfect success. It could
be worked by hand, with the aid of TWO
men, aud in two aud half would
'bear in" seam of coal tWsnty.oue feet
wide aud three feet deep. He further
stated that an engine of fifteen or twenty
horse power would perform ths work Of
seventy or eighty men, and could be made
TO dig six thousand bushels of coal per
day Tue cost of the mAehine would be
about $4,000, engine, pipes, TO-, not in,
clpded. Mr. Grier wasI satisfied that the
machine could be operated very success
fully iusour coal banks. "A few of these
machines in our banks. here would soon
put stop 10 coal liggtrs' strikes, and
bring down aud keep the price of coal al
reasonable rates.

I8TwO cases d alleged assault and
battery, which hav been in the court SO
long as to have slipped the memory of
nearly everybody 4lt tho parties imme-
diately concerned, ave been brought to a
close, TOR the present at least. One was
the case of John Keline rs. Capt. Andrew
Wilson, for an assault committed sometime
10 October, 1862 We have not SPACE TO
review the TESTIMONY, further than that it
must have been lery satisfactory to the
jury, sinee they rendered a verdict d
$1,000 10 favor of ,ks plaintiff. Tho other
was the case OF Mslanu and vile rs. Fee
beck, for an assaultby which Mrs. Mcospp
had her arm broken or dislocated At n,
elbow. The testimony as to whether the
Injury was inflicted i Feebeck or MCCAIN,
the husband of the tOmsn, was very con.
u'ctiOg. The jury Hndered verdict il
favor of the plaintiff assessing damages
at $500.
We understand TIT on appeal win be
taken 10 both the abt 10 cases.

to the ferry landing for bath in the
river. A party of nearly dozen boys
and preceded us. and we're enjoying them
selves in perfect abandon. Qaietly and
unobserved We were soon mingling in the
gay crowd of youthful swimmers. There
was nothing remarkable in this, but there
was something in the conduct of the boys
which we wish to commend As we have
said, they we're enjoying themselves with
q perfect looseness. There was loud
talking and playful gatherings. but in the
much that was said We did not hear u
single profane or indecent word. This
we consider remarkable tor gathering o.
boys on such an occasion. One of the
little fellows was blind. His comrades
showed him the kindest attention, and he
appeared very happy in his efforts te
swim. Kindness, good manners and good
morals seemed to prevail, and we fee
quite sure that all went happier than il
the usual excitement of fight or severa
quarrels and disgraceful wranglings has
been witnessed. Why cannot all boys

rae Rebel Raid on washiss.sn

The National Intelligencer still insists
that the rebel invading force was small
Que. and gives its reasons as follows:
10 the first place, with oil the admitted
want of military vigilance in Washington,
it is impossible to believe tina, force of
such magnitude could make descent on
Maryland and on the capital in such .
stealthy manner as really to take our mil
itary administration by surprise. The in
may escape notice, but the entrance of al
elephant does not come without observa-
ton. The larger the number Of the eae-
my the worse for the credit Of the military
administration which was surprised by its
approach.
In the second place, the invading force
not only did not compass, but did not
even attempt anything worthy Of thirty
five thousand men; aud certainly it will
not be pretended that the eaemy's hsrdi.
hood was nywhere repsessed BY the bold
ness and vigor Of our forces 10 resisting
his advance. He went where be pleased
throughout the State without serious in
convenience or molestation-doing, how
ever only what ten thousand men could
more successfully do than thirty Eve thou.
sand, because Of the greater CELEBRITY Of
movement in smaller bodies.
Ia the third place, who supposes that
Gen. Lee can spare, 1t this crisis Of the
war, thirty FIVE thousand men from his
operations in Petersburg and Richmond
And, in the fourth place, who supposee
that our military administration would
think it safe to pursu e the retrsating enc.
my with the small force sent to. barss,
and overtake him. if it was really though,
that the enemy numbered thirty Eve thou.
sand men2 Ga this supposition, it would
be patriotic to hope that our pursuing
forces might not succeed in oyerhanling
the invaders.
