New YORK, May 80, 1865
Your startling suggestion to pay or 'the national
debt whose equally startling results shown in your
columns from day to day, is without doubt Of the
most astounding propositions laid before great
community in any part Of the world Can be possible
a people who fonr years ago had no military status
comparatively yet who raised fed, clothed, equipped,
army such as the world heard or crushed

amount that appears almost fabulous when attempts

difference OF rate Of interest consdered stamps its value

a Coal plgglPg nRehlae.


On Saturday last a new coal digging
machine we exhibited in presence OF a
few gentlemen at the machine shop of
Tomlinson & Son, Duquesne Way. 1t
was in working order and was in mo-
ton. The fabric which constitutes this
instrument may be briefly described
It has, on one side q double engine
which may be worked with compressed
air or steam ut pleasure. The cylinders
are 10 inches In diameter with AK
inch stroke. The power thus obtained
10 used to drive a series of cog-wheels
which communicate with smaller coRs
connected with eleven pairs of nugurs.
These nugurs arcs feet inches long,
and "a inches an diameter each. AT
the eIfd of each augur Is a drill, which
tapers from a diameter of az inches to
double point. The width of the whole
set of augurs Is 4 feet Z inches. When
in the mlnC the machine rests upon a
small track along which 1t Is propelled
by Its own power. Above this track is
n pnir of trans on which the machine
slides backward or forward us the nu-
guTs penetrate the rock, or are With
drawn, all the motions being performed
by tho machine itself, one man only
being necessary to control or guide Il.
In the mine the machine will be work.
ed with compressed dir. The 0dVan-
tage of this mode of obtaining power is
that no boiler is necessary, while It aids
the ventilation of the mine without tho
disadvantage OF condensation.
1t Is calculated that hfty per cent, of
the labor now necessary to take coal ont
of the pit will be performed by this Dig
ging machine. Its bearing-in power
will BIO from 5000 to 5000 bushels of
coal in ten working hours. For this
Improvement the public are indebted to
the energies of NIessrs. Grier, Boyd.
Scott, and Carnegie, and the title Of the
firm is Grier. Boyd K Co. The machine
was to have been in operation Mt some
point within convenient distance OF
Pittsburg yesterday, where 1t was to be
fully and fairly tested. 1t is to BIO hop
cd that this latest effort to bless the poor
success.

me lIeetinr To-NIeht,


The three distinguished gentlemen
who speak for us tonight, are expected
to-day, on the noon trains at Bridge
port. The speaking Will commence at
half past six in the evening. 1t Is Inn
pOrtant that our Union people assemble
AS early rs possible. Three speeches
can not be made within a scasonRble
time unless the meeting Is organised as
carly as possible. We hope, therefore,
that every necessary arrangement will
be perfected for prompt commence
mont at the hour named.
The evening promises to be too in
clement for outdoor speaking, and the
meeting will, therefore, be organized In
side the Court House. We regret that
we have not n building capable of hold
ing ut least half the people who will
want to hear the able and eloquent men
who are to address us. Due attention
should be given to suitably preparing
the Court House for accommodating as
many as possible. Every inch of space
should be made available.
1--we want our opponents to come out
aud hear the facts and arguments upon
which the Union cause rests Mt this
stage of our national affairs. Every
intelligent, candid mind desires to un-
derstand exactly the views to which 1t
stands opposed. How can any man be
nationally assured OF his own position
so long us he misundcrstands its oppO-
site. Truth is truth only nfter emerg-
ing from the crucible-not till then.
"AHdf aIteram PGrte,n" was adjudged
by Cicero to lie the noblest maxim of
the Romans. Its simple meaning is,
''hear the other Party''-listen to what
is said on both sides.
We say then to our opponents, come
out this evening and hear Gen. Cox,
one of the noblest men developed by
the war, and the governor elect of the
great STATE just opposite us. You are
surely not afraid to hear him tell you the
reasons for the faith that is in him. Not
one of you have any interest in being
in the wrong. Come and measure your
creed with his. When you have heard
him and his two eloquent colleagues,
you Will have before you, in all proba-
bilitY, full exposition of the best that
can be said ON our side of the question.
Come, therefore, and hear with unprej-
udieed minds, and then afterwards
judge whether you are right or wrong.
Our Union friends We need not exhori
to come out. We are only afraid that
large crowds of them will be unable to
get within sight or sound of the speak
ers. Our great regret is that an occasion
so unusual can not be improved to the
advantage of every voter in the city.
We would that every citizen, friends
and foes; could have an opportunity &c
quietly and calmly listen to and reflect
upon the speeches this evening. Every
Union man iu the city felt himself the
better of Gov. Wright's great speech al
the Court House this month one year
ago. And every such one will, we con
tident-ly trust, feel himself likewis'
benefited this evening.

A friend in Marshall fears that the
Union men are relying too much on
their former big majorities, and that
they are not taking those precautions
against a surprise so necessary at a
time like the present, when divide
and conquer is the known maxim of
the enemy. Very many of the staunch
lOyalists of Marshall have been SOL
diers at the front, and they know what
n surprise means, and that all through
the rebellion it WINS piece of fayorite
tactics with the disloyal host that con-
frOnted them. We say to them, do not
be surprised now at the going down OF
the sun, after having been vfgtlant all
through the burden and heat Of the
contest, hut let the day close glsriously,
and the high prestige OF noble old
Marshall county be fully maintained
clear through to the end.
