.11!: IRONICAL . - AND INDIGNANT
From C. M. Straub, theßumoeratie candidate
in this County, for State Senator,lwe have re
ceived a choice morceate.r, in the shape of
communication. Prefaced by , some rigmarole,
the Colonel asks us to republish some retnarks
ill relation to the Dentocratietieket pulalished .
in the Jmultal of the 19th. - Limited :spaCe
prelu les an acquiescence in the desire of Mr. I
Straub, even if we felt dhiposed to gratify his
whim. We can merely .tate, that what we
I, said in our issue of the 19th, we now ernlorse,
and are prepared to spealc, still more plainly
when occasion rzquires x l The !manner in
Iwhich Mr. Straub, to secure the coveted 'tuna-
l inatithi, which he_ has received, has paildered
i to the low grog intere,ts of the County, has
I disgusted even the reipectable liquor sellers in
our midst. When we examine the composi
tion of that portion of the _Convention,' which
to a delegate cast their votes for Straub,
,we
feel justived in the remark heretofore uttered,
that a descension to the regions of the damned
could hardly conjure up principles more loath
! someonore utterly ahhurbed by the worthy,than
those brought. into action at the recent Coo
tventiun , by his supporters, to secure his pom
illation, We think it unnecessary to reiterate
what we have already said on this subject.—
When we .peak again, it will be more plainly,
'and in such terms as the matter warrants.-
A CAPTURE AND ESC . APE.- , -.A. monster snake
op in Wyoming County,'N. Y., was captured
rulntly for the sake of : the well-kept hotel and

pondent of the Buffalo Republic narrates the
occurrence artistically. Unfortunately for
BarnuM, however, who was brought iu prom
inently, as the future exhibitor of the monster,
the thing has escaped ; after inc urteonsly
\ T
breaking one !of its captor's legs. We pre
sume, the second haul in that line, wi 1 elipit

THE 'RUM CASDIDATE of the democracy for
the Senate was seen passing thmngh the streets
of Tamaqua lately, slip-shod and disheveled,
scraping favors. II& has pledged himself to
repeal the Liquor Laws now in existence, and
to oppose all legislation of the kind if elected.
Is it possible•thgt'a candidate with such prin
ciples can he elected, even in Schuylkill . Co?
Being the - candidate of the pot•houses and
low grog: shops, .(flr we learn that the re
spectable, tavern and hotel keepers are dis
gusted at his conduct,) is enough to datim
any man in a thinking comniunity.
THE. COMMERCIAL BANK: CASE.—The opin
ion of the SUpreme Court, delivered last week
at Bedford, by Chief Justice Lewis, on the
motion to quash the writ of quo warranto
against the C,oremereial Bank, for an alleged
violation of its charter by certain acts of
inimger is published. The CoUrt, we per
ceive, overruled the motion to quash the writ,
which the Counsel for the Bank has made,
and, it is presumed the Counsel for the Com
monwealth, will now press the case to a trial
on its merits.
PANATICS.—The new Rum German paper
calls the advocates IX Temperance, fanatics.
We can with equal propriety, term the-Rum ,
mies fanatics. The difference however, is. t hat
the Rummies are fanatical on the side of pov
erty, crime and tnisery; while the Temperance
fanatics, scatter happiness, peace and content
ment around, in-the success of their measures.
Which Set of fanatics most deserve toleration ?
It is a question we think, readily answered.
EPISCOPAL CHU S.Cll.—This
we perceive, has authorized an innovation upon
its discipline, by the creation of an order
.of
men who are allowed to attain to the deacon
ship, assist in the ministration of the sanctu
ary, and still continue in secular business du-
ring the week.. This will materially add,, it
is supposed, to the strength and popularityhf
the church, as well to its practical usefulness.

difficulty-owing, perhaps, in part, to the- nature
of its ia • conitfustibit rioustituents. The length
_of'
time required to briOg the boiler to steady nation;
theAnatitity of Coal Left unburni after the fire had
become extinct, audfthe' moderate rate of evapo
ration, together witlt:the low evaporative efficiency
of the Coal, and especially with the largo vantity
of oxygen found e*the fourth trial in thiggasses
escaping to the,chininey, all tend to domulistratta
the trai4 ofirvigorlos And easy combustion.
"To these circumstances may be added the fact
that, when in the siSficond trial, tie air plate at the
furnace'bridge waiipen, in call& to give an addi
tional supply of air to the products of combustion,
the effeet was to :diminish instead of increasing
the cvaPorative efiltdency of the pound of Coal.

that they were not more complete. The prOprietore of
Mines, and ethers interested in the mining and selling of
Cards, wore (inelted to send samples, to Washington at

call. ' The proper way would have been for the Govern-
Mont to have authorized some competent. person' to Pro
eu re sample), of the anrrage quality of Coal mined at our
principal white, red and may ash collieries. Strenge as
it: may appear. but six specimens of our Anthracites , were

A Model Coal Breaker and Coillery
Establishment.
Col. D. T. Prown t CO., are preparing a titagnifi-
Fent new iCoal Breaker and Colliery, on what is
;known Rai the Price Wetherill tract, at Oak Hill.
It is a re* hundred yards to the South their
1;o1s1 Oak 11111 Colliery, on the Primrose and Orch
-tard veins) and within reach of the Mammoth and
r-Daddow !veins. The situation is on the West
'Branch or the Mt. Carbon Railroad, about three
miles :1!;okili of Pottsville and near Mt. Laffee.
The note establishment will be known': as the
t 'Price 111etherill Colliery," and entirely tlistinet
iiland sepninte from the Oak 11111, and the Orchard
which the same firm is working on the

Thomas I. Atwood, Esq., of Pottsville. 'iron, the
3les.rs. :Browns, we might expect modelS in the
way of Coal Breakers and Collieries, ns they have
been in the business since its active coinmence
, ment. 'Their father was one of the first Coal Op
erators, hod the first to erect machinery and schutes
for the preparation of Coal. These gentlemen
have wide the subject one of 'deep. studY:, and to
them the Region is indebted for many of the itn
; provemciots and useful inventions, now in use for
the mining and Preparation of coal. n l n • -
It would require a volume to describemiuntely
this Mannuuth Breaker with all its variotis details.
If we 'dive a general description, it will he as
much ast the public can expoet of us at present.
The building is 80 ft Aide by 300 feet in length,
from chi s end of' the Lump Coal Sehute to the
Plane house, nod 90 feet in height,. troin the
main Riiilroed to the top of the building, or 66
feet to the dumping tips. The entire establish-
Ment being under one continuous roof, `weather
boarded front top to bottom, white. Washed or
painted with a new and simple fire-proof and wenth
er-proq composition.
Fifty,. feet . of height is sufficient for a Very large
Breaking establishment; but to gain every faeili,
ty which the advantage of height can bestow,
and not go beyond the bounds of proportion,
strength and durabilityP this stopendrois Break
er with all its preliminaries 'and connections, from
dutiiiipg tips to top of ears on main road, is only
,60 feet in height. „ . I
The. lane for hoisting to Breaker, is : 'obout.. - 12!)
_feet long with doable track, and doghle acting
"Ainniiing trucks," at an. angle of about 411„de
grees-i,-less than which, dumping trucks .seannot
well be made to ,answer the purpose for which
they r ake intended. These trucks are cis improve
ineni 411 the original plena of both Brown and
Cleaver, and the mode of returning the cars and
trucks: from the tips, is new Sand sidiple. One
man, Who attends to the cones, throwing them in
. and out of guile can hoist 1000 tons of Coal per
day without leaving his Post. The iloo r i•is opened
by th 4 "half moans" or circles, for thii - pnrposli ;
and by reversing, the cones, the wagens or cars
return without assistance. On this principle the
inctin i ed plane is ertiMl, if not Superiorito the per
pendicular mode ofhoisting, now being made use
of at !some of the now Breakers at ;Shamokin,
Ashltind and elsewhere.
The Coal on being dumped out of the car, pas
ses °ler a fiat cast iron bar screen, leaving out
Stearriboat Coal and all which is •11,ss. That
which phases the screen is examined by "slate
picked' and, reserved fur Lump Coal, or passed
through the Breakers as the wants of 'the trade
may demand. That part of the Coal .which pas
see through the flat screens, again grasses over
perforated plates, fur the flu:pose of joking out
the Steamboat Coal.and fiat ami toog pieces, which
passes through the second pair of rollers, being
preciously cleaned of impurities, as far as possi
ble, ley slate pickers, who are stationed above the
second or small rollers for the purpose. The re
mainder, after being cleansed from dirt, which
'passes down into the "dirt hopper," it carried by
shutos into huge circular screens for Broken Coal;
and the Egg, Stove, and Chesnut which passes
throtigh these meshes are carried int* the great
sepa:ating screens below. .
Thus it will be observed that nor Coal goes into
the first pair of rollers, which are 30 filches in
ameter and 3 feet long, but that %Thiel) is above 1
Steamboat size, and none through the Second pair
—which are 10 inches in diameter, add !anai. the
rate of 120 revolutions per minuCe—less than
Broken Coal size, except that which 008 through
the upper rollers; and consequently, ais little waste
oecasioned as potisible. Another great ad
la,.
vantage is, that ' l much. more Coal , can he put
-
throng(' in the same amount of time, than on the
old System, when everything went through this
Breaker—sfate, bone, email Coal, and dirt: The
Broken Coal Screens aro also an impro,retnent over
the bid phut of operating. They are: four feet in
diameter and about ten feet long, botla emptying
into!the centre binn, which is largar than the oily:
or binns, and runs up between the two sets of
Breakers. These screens, it will bo understood,'
only take out the Broken Coal, relieving, Jim
greit separating screens, of the weight, and - conse-
quo, the friction this Coalwould occasion
by 0/1 sing among the smaller sizes ;Itfirough the
entire length of the screens, These Screens were
built by IL L. Cake of Tamaqua.
n ; •
'Phis is a double - Breaker in every:sense of the
feria, pith four sets of rolleitwolhrge ones and
two small ones forming a set—the Cpal from each
passing into their respective screens and bins,,
with the exception of the Broken coal, which is
emptied from both .11rhken_Coal screens into one
—the centre
'theism long scpstratingicreens are each 18 feet
in length, with "Jackets," or outside screens 8
feet in length; or nearly halrthe length of the
screens; which gives 9 feet for the-separation of
each kind of Coal7-or .26 feet for throe kinds-;-
Egg, Stove and Chesnut. Fortneily, 20 feet
sorcons were used to make feta and five kinds of
Cop. The principle upon which these screens are
()Mated, gives double sateen capaciti,;with only a
short and a long screen ;: and 'looo'. teas'. of Coal

erill Colliery;"- thaensigns of the boi‘ea'; being a
yUung hickory; or such are the rods With which
they sway at some of the Collieries, which we have
recently visited. But fortunately, it tjailbscarcely
ever be necessary to employ so many elate pickers
at this Colliery; for.tlie plan of °parallels. - or dip.
•ging Conlin the mines is such, that not * of the
inTitritie* 'Cal Le rejected there, and 'et : the piat•
form bethor the dumping Lips, bercie it passes
through the Breaker. The veins onf which this
Colliery is established aro generally pore ; partion-=
'tarty the Orchard and the Peach Orchard veins.—
At . piesent, they are only openinz 141 the Coal;
driving slopes. gangways, headings44e.; 'and their
Coal is wet, unprepossessing, and no se pure as
it will be when they are in full epdration, with
all their new improvements in machiber4t, and re
forms in mining and preparing, vrli4 kill be at
an early day..- t i
The biniotrill hold when level full 11500 tons of
prepared Coal, and including :the rl.timp Coal
sttter, 2000 tons of Coal can be . storic'e , i'reotly for
shipment at any moment. The "telegaphs".are se
constructed, that they wilt fill the bins ; level full
from one end to the other, withoutt'atiention or
assistance, and yet they arc so flat, titatwhile the
Coal will slide down rapidly, slate which is more
dense, rough and adhesive, will no side down
unless forced by the Coal ; then:furl; should' any
Of the slate pickers be careless of thdir 4k, these.
•
telegraphs will report.
No pains or cost have been spared* not 'only to
make this a model, Colliery, as farf as impLve
meets and appearances are concerned, but also to
make the Coal perfectly clean frtitu islsto • and
dirt ; for this purpose every convenience has been
made for. the purpose of picking slate, aind screens
are inserted wherever they would bl available, to
make the Coal perfectly clean. .;
The entire structure rests on high Stone fro-,
dations, in which are imbedded many hundred
tons of stUne; the .consequenee off thii is, that
the works rest on a solid, itrunorable foundation,
and nil the wood-work is raised sufneiently high
above the earth and Coal-dirt, to ehstire it from
premature destruction by decoMposition from
water and the absorption of moistur:e. A .
The Breaker, 'lsolating machinery npil screens,
are all driveu by two 20 horse power i engines, and
attached by a long gum belt passing over a large
fly-wheel and other connecting belqi passing over
pulleys, which gives motion to the puernsous mass
of iron in the shape of pulleys, cogf wheels, shafts
and screens, that compose this matamoth concern.
The Breaker engines ; were made by John L.
,Pott, at the Orchard lion Works this place,
end are governed by J. P. Pitches' water, or spi.
rid governors, which so regulittes the;; steam, that
without the attention or assistance of the engi
neer, the power is increased or decrealed, as occa
sion may require. The boilers erg IS feet imme
diately beneath the engines, and feuri in' number.
The stack is B.i feet in height, t.nd: is built in
the most graceful and beautiful proportion from
bottom to top. Indeed, everything about the es
tablishment seems to bo constructed With as much
es strength and durability.
What is claimed in the construction of this
Breaker over that of ethers, is tjos ;combination
of grace, strength, utility and du i ability. tveryl
convenience,Which modern impro l Vement and in
i
ventiou could devise, for the purpose' of lessening
labor, inertrising. facilities, .andi purifying the I
Coal, has been ?nada use of; and the result has,
been, that nearly all the work or pleparing. the!
Cool into sizes and clearing it, with the exception
of slate picking, is done by machinery. One
thousand tons of Coal can he prepared with the
Same number amen as it would( take under the i
old system, gutturally made use of iii, this Region
some years age, to prepare one Ellndred tons. • .
The large and small rollers, atUl the separating
of the Coal before passing n. through them, with
the Broken Vaal screens, are the iinVentions of the
Messrs. Browns,
.ntid are goi4ratly known as
"Brown's small rollers and screen ." They are
-not yet generally . in use throughout the Region,
but the advantages which they poSsets over the
old style are so greet, that it 'link: commend them
iu time to all our Operators. 1
Another thing which is too generally overlook
ed, but which is made use of licre,lis the; combi
nation of the drum gehring far hoisting. The
outside of the drum is connected with the drum
wheels; 'shish is nbont the diardeter of the,druM;
with which the pinions work onl the ontside ; thus
giving the Dower when the weight ;bears,' and sa
ving the stress, or leverage on the i drum sitft.—
It is a principle upon whiclA all heavy work
of the kind should be cimstruld if possible.
Harli; given a Onersil eseription, as We
proitiisol, of this nurtimoth and tuodcl Byeake,r,
we wilt Innke a few remarks abiat 'the rest' of the
establishment; but as.they aro hotyet completed,
we shall have for the time to in f late them 'ae short
as possible, but promii,.;e.our re i aders more when
these extenSive.Works are in operaiion.
Alessrs, D. P. Brown .E :C0.,1 are sinking two
slopes on the same vein (Prim, e), parallel to
each other, one of which is 100 Yards • in' depth
and the other is to be 31)0 yard deep. .These two
slopes—the one a dowpeast and the Other - an up
cast with furnace—is to itsure a perfect sys
tem of ventilation, nod is on the, only principle!
which science and experience isive prove to
worthy of adoption.
• Beiides the vein on which the slopes aro sunk,l
they intend to tunnel South to; three others-411
splendid Bed ash veins—which will give them!
with the two lifts, 12 gangwayS 6 io•Enst and 8 to
West; averaging 11 milei each of a run. Thel
Primrose vein produces sums of the best Coal iti
the Region for locomotive and !smith purposes; of
the others we need make no rehtaik, as their qual
ities arc knew.to lie good: TheY have :two en
gine houses; and two engines feu pmnping and,
hoisting their Coal. One of {heat for pumping!
and hoisting is a 90 horse, and the other for hoist-1
ing alone, nut of thoep slope, is a 50 horse 'en-I
gine. The drum worked by this engine is 10 feet'
in diameter, and is calculated to ;hoist a car. Ter!
minute. • i
The total cost.o the entire hstablishment when'
completed, will no't be less ilnin 050,000.
The company have recently erected a lot
of beautiful and convenient 'itniner's houses, of
which, including tie old once, they have about
50 nt Oak Hill and the Orchard ":Colliery. There
is not a prettier village; whether', it regards natu
ral beauty or taste in building] iu;the Coal Region,
than Oak Hill. There has been itri excellent art-,
ist recently engaged in malting a correct painting
of the place, which he has Portniyed to nature,
fur the purpose of having it lithkisYhed for dis
