'•:_, ... - - -,--, _

IS - • - • friend Simpson. "I will not make another: bet,"

was then agreed that the cards should -be lifted.
.•,_ Henry's hand proved to be what -gamblers term
"a splending bettin g hand." This discovery
m
_ •
cheered hiup, an he went on until his, twenty
five thousand dollars' were on the table; and here
- - the play was brought to a dead pause. The bilis
sis.sippiiii was behind La Ronde. To give up, ac-
cording to the rules of the game, would be an en
tire.loss of all money staked, it mattered not how
good his hand might be. But La
_Ronde felt sev
,eure, having three • aces and two kings. As the
. - game now stood, he was thowinner. He had the
- besthand that the pack would afford, and he had
=the most money on the table. Nearly fifty thous
--
- dollars :was on the table ; and Henry's oppo
-
' • rientwas apparently drained. This was a:moment
• -of intense and painful interest : to our hero. Be
• . bad no more money; his last dollar was down.
• He sat with his eyes firmly fixed upon 'his antago
nist; his under lip was closely compressed by
his teeth ; his delicate frame quiVered at every
movement:of his opponent. The Missippian was
in a deep study; his eyes rested on his cards.
All now depended upon his movement, and every
eye was addressed to him. Not a word escaped
• 'from any Month. La Ronde's heart was distinct.
ly heard palpitating midst hope:and doubt. The
great Cathedral clock solemnly told, that three
• hours out of a new twenty-four were gone. At
•• this critical moment, a tall, slender and studious
looking man entered the room, wearing a short,
'.Spanish cloak, thrown over his shoulders ; on his
head was a leathern cap. His face, from the nose
down, was covered with black mustaches arid
whiskers; and so deeply were the gamblers en
gaged, his entrance was unnoticed. At last, the
silence was broken,- by the following exclamation
from La Ronde's antagonist,—"l'll do it; yes, I'll
be d—d if I don't!"
"Do what, Tarlton r' was the eager inquiry of
.
many, voices. Henry supposing that his opponent
had determined to.yield, sprang to his feet, clasp
ed his hands, and resumed his seat in time to see
. • Tarlton_ cast a smell scrap o f paper on the table,
saying--- , '" there! d- 7 -p; - you, cover that, or hand
over the root of-ali - evil !" .
•
~... ". What is that?" inquired La Ronde,some little
. alarmed. • • •
"That!" replied Tarlton, pointing to the pa
per ; " that is a note, sir, worth one hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars. I sold my Planta
tion and nigger& for the money laying there and
that note; and
_I have determined if one goes all
may go." . •
Ned:Simpson took up the note, and after exam•
Ming it, turned ..to La Ronde, and said, l'bis is
a good note, Hen ; as good as old wheat in the
Mill ; its from one of the very best in the state ;
made payable to the bearer. I would as soon have
it as themoney. Can't you cover it ?"
Here another pause ensued; another period of
intense anxiety. Thigambleri had riot yet ,
ac
complished all that they intended upon La Ronde .
...
_ . Henry knew net what to do ; his prospects were
- dark and forbidding. He laid his cards upon the
table, caught his head between'•his hands, and ex: .
claimed,--" I'll go mad before this play is over—
for G—d's sake let us quit."
- -" Take a little porter, Hen," said his friend
• Simpson, as he poured out a glass and extended
it to him. Henry seized the glass end awalloaVed
."the poisonous draught; this done, he remarked:
" I'm better; but," he continued, "is it true,
friends, that thispaper of. Tarlton's is to stand in
the play as if it were money?"
- • ".ob, certainly, La Ronde, you can't object to

' ,TAgain our hero fell into a train of thought, and
after ten minutes of . most harrassing reflection, he
• ' looked uP, and requested his friend Simpson to
bring: him Writing materials; these were soon fur
- 'Uished, and the following drawn up:
"Let all men know by this, that I, Henry 'La

Tarlton took up this paper,
.ancl having exam:

lifted , his hands to the back - of his head, and
stretched himself OR the back of his chair --;--.." I

An English friend repeated to us the other even•

sion of Broce's Address, opened that celebrated
call to battle: , It was shown to our friend by a
Scottish gentleman named Stuart, who held the ori
ginal in the hand-writing of the author :
"The sun was peeping o'er the heath,
To light them to their field of death,
When Bruce with soul inspiring breath,
His army thus addressed :
Scots wa hae Wallace bled,
Scots wham Bruc,e has ollen led," etc.
The above is copied from the Chronicle of to-day,
and I have only to say that the quotation, as repeated
to the Editor, by an Eiiglish friend, who was shown
the original by a Scottish gentleman named Stuart,
is incorrect. John Bull, and hit 64 brither free the

The Scotch, they were not far away,
' Each eye bent on the break o' day,
Glimmering frae the East:
At last the sun shone o'er the heath,
And lighted up the field of death;
When Bruce, with soul-inspiring breath,

FREDERICK POWER
Pittsburgh, June 29, •
An infamous 'Wretch!
There is a paper published at Chambersburgh, in
this State, entitled the Repository and Whig, which
is the organ of the Taylcr Federal party of Frank
lin county: The Editor wrote and published the
following despicable notice of the death - of Ex. Pre
sident Pour. If the wretch has a soul at all, it mast
have been extracted from the carcass of a hyena :
Swrer Ityrnuitinorr.—On Tuesday last the "green
spot" was made doleful by the tolling of bells for
the death of JAMES /L. Pout, late President of the
Locofoco party. The disease under which he labor
ed was chronic diarthrea, not cholera, as stated in
our last. Thus.haa this ambitious and wicked man
been called early to the final settlement of hisdread
ful account. We would, in charity, have wished
him a lifetime of ten thousand years, in which to
"bring forth fruits meet for repentance."
We are taught in the Book of Books that for Na
tional sins there shall be National afflictions. Does
it not, however, seem a. little singular, just contem
poraneous with the death of the anther of the must
n4ameful iniquities in which our country ever enga
ged, that the consequences of those iniquities should
be so full upon us 1---tthat - the scourge of disease
should be sweeping the length and breadth of our
land ! Verily, the ways of Providence are inscruti
able.
for The Kentucky Yeoman says that it is the in
tention of many members of the Whig party, after
the pending election, to get up petitions all over the
State requesting Messrs. Clay and Underwood to
resign theirseats in the. Senate of the United States
Senate; if, nit they believe, the vote °fibs people
goes strongly against emancipation. The people of
Kentucky will never be aatisfied to be represented
in the Senate of the United States by two:stiuthern "
men with northern principles.
Pot.rmora. Powza.—The free States have thirty
Senators, one hundred and thirty-nine Representa
tives, and one hundied and sixty-nine Presidential

Pittsburgh fn the olden Time
A correspondontof the Waihiogton Examiner,
has furnished' the Editors of that paper' with a'copY
of the “Eiteritry llfiggiurine and American Me9sen
ger which; contains the following description of
Pittsburgh in 1806: It wilt be read- by the present
population of the “Iron City," with no ordinary in:.
term. What a change has been produced in few
years! It seems more like a - dream than reality!—
But the picture as drawn by the writer oftbe
need sketch, no doubt, - will be'recognized by many
of our old citizen' who are still living, as life-like
and graphic:''. _
From the Literary Magazine of 1806
Sketch of Plttebargh•
The lands in the vicinity of Pittiburgh, especially
the bottoms on the Allegheny, are yery rich. ' When
this town was a frontier settlement against hostile
Indians, the lands, in consequence, sold very' low.
A few years since a Mr. Wood finit surveyed this
country, and was offered an extensive tract'of it graie
ta, which he . 'refused. His son has Mace purchased
a considerable thrm in the neighborhood of Pitts
burgh, and erected a very handsome brick house at
the entrance of the town.
Pittsburgh is irregularly built; the streets are oar-.
now, and the houses have the dirty smoked appear
ance of Engliali cities where coals are most used.—
It is - situate oa n plain, running to a point, at Which
the =clear stream of the Allegheny and the muddy
waters of, the Monougahela unite and form a beauti
ful baton, the source of the far-famed Ohio, or Belle
Riviere of the French, which alter running 1183
miles, empties itself into the Missiaimpi.
The Allegheny is at Pittsburgh about a quarter of
a mile wide, and runs at the rate °reboot 'bur miles
an hour. The Monongahela is about a half a mile
wide, its waters being forced back by the more im.
petuous stream of the Allegheny. At the confluence
of these rivers the French erected a fort, which was
captured by the English under General Forbes, in
November, 1788. It was soon afterwards abandon
ed, and one higher up' the Allegheny erected, which
is now in existence. At the point where the rivers
meet, the cliff rises about 20 feet above the waters;
the Monongahela bearing a southeast, and the Alle
gheny a north-east direction. Soon alter the capture
by the British, thelown was laid. out, named alter
the elder William Pitt. About seven miles to the
S. E. of this town is the field celebrated for the de
feat of General Braddock.
Pittsburgh is extremely well supplied with excel.
lent coal, at least as good as the Cannel coal, which
are delivered at the house in town at the rate of 5
cents per bushel. The blaze of these coals afford so
strong a light, that in winter, it is said neither tailors
nor other meconnics burn candles. coal is furnish
ed principally from the mountains . on the Verge of
the Monongahela, from which they are tumbled into
the vessels below. During our revolutionary war
one of these coal mountains caught Ere, and was on
ly extinguished by the falling in of its sides, which
suffocated the flame. Coals of various' quality are
found however,,.in all directions within Seventy .
miles. The vessels which go down the Ohio use
coal as ballast, as it costs only the trouble oftliggieg
from the sides of the hills.
Pittsburgh forms one of the great points from which
emigrants eet out who intend to settle in the immense
valley bounded by the Allegheny mountains to the
east, the Gulf of Mexico to the south, the frozen re.
gions to the north, and the White mountains to the .
West. This valley embraces almost every climatei
and consequently every soil; but still for its general
fertility may lie denominated the paradise of the
world.
Pittsburgh contained in 1804 about one thousand
houses and five thousand inhabitants, many; houses
being built purposely for the accommodation of em•
lir:ants, who,_ when:the Ohio is tow, are. frequently
detained a considerable time. It is however rapidly
increasing in size and consequence, and affords ma
ny beautiful views. The town is principally built on
the Monongahela. The river affords a pleasantsan
dy margin, of about thirty feet broad : the outface
of the cliff is about twenty feet above this strand,
and is, when the waters are much out, covered by
them. Whenever obr population is mililitient to en
able us to become a manufacturing people, the situ
ation of Pittsburgh will render it important, the car
riage of , heavy articles operating as a premium in
favor of those there produced. Its situation at the
confluence of two mighty rivers, end at .the source
of an immense inland,nrivigation, with a supply eter
nal of excellent coal, plenty . of - fish, and a;rich sur
rounding 'country, are advantages few places 'can all
ford. The now fort has, since the cession of the ad
joining country by the Indians, been converted into
a store for the United States, in which they deposite
the 'different articles destined to be d.stribrded
through western America, and is only garrisoned by
a lieutenant and seven men:
Ilouse-rent and all the necesaaries ollife are low
at Pittsburgh. It contains a handsome Court House,
and tolerable market house. The town is, howev
er, dirty, consequent on the richneel of the adjoin
ing soil, the narrowness of the streets, and the pro
ftue.uan ofcoal. branch of the hint Of Penney-I
ra:no is establishedin this town, The beat hickory
wood sells ilia dollar and a halfthe cord. The ta
verns are equal to any other in Washington or Balti
more ; their charges are reasonable.
The common boats which convey passengers and
goods down the Ohioare twelve iket wide, and coat,
according to their length, a dollar n foot; when well
covered, painted, and divided into apartments, they
will sell for a dollar and a half the foot. Some are
very elegant and cost more. Of these I once saw
two,one belonging to General Wilkinson, the other
to done! Burrows, both elegant, the first particu
larly, being gilt, and highly ornamented. Those
destined' for use more than show are estimated to
carry each abouthalf a ton fur every foot in length.
;0t these boats about one hundred, having about 12
emigrants each, Were said to be waiting hetween
Brownfield and Geneva, on the Allegheny and
about us many tnbre on the Monongahela, hit the
waters should rise, - to watt them to their intended
settlement.
On the 28th of 4prtl, 1804, the Ohio rose 4 feet ;
it still, however, wanted 12 feet of the level deemed
necessary to navigate the Ohio boats.
The boats which convey flour from Pittsburgh to
New Orleans take from 250 to 300 barrels each,
that produced na the Monongahela being considered
the best. A conapany lately established sent 250,-
000 barrels for sale in the year 1804. In the same
period it is calculated 100,000 tons Ofmanufactured
articles passed ,through this town down the Ohio ,
and it is asserted the average increase is 2000 tons
annually.
It may some years hence be a matter of curiosity
to compare the present with the then state of the
manufactories of Pittsburgh. On the Allegheny,and
opposite Pittsburgh, are Col. o , Hara , s glass works.
In the town he had a brew house, two tan yards, and
a yard for shipbuilding, in which, in 1804, was
building one brig of 260 tons, and from which had
lately beeti launched one chip of 350 tone. A tin
manuthettity was. established, which then employed
28 persons; a nail manufactory 30; a cotton manu
facturer had recently-fixed himself, and employed
but 12;' thirty workmen were engaged in ship, and
about 50 in boat-bnilding; 30 were also engaged. in
the ropewalks, which received theirhemp from Ohio
and Kentuckyotates.
Honor to the lamented Deed:
The Select and Common Council of the city of
Lancaster, have unanimously adopted the following
resolutions, and appointed committees to carry out
the object alluded to. It would certainly be a most
appropriate spectacle; to see the late Secretary of
State paying this tribute to the distinguished head of
the recent administration:
WlrrusAs; The closennd 'intimate connexion of
our diitinguished fellow citizen, the Hon..JAMES
BUCHANAN, with.Ex•President JAMES K. POLK,
in his eventful administration of the Federal Govern
.menf, during its entire • period, and his previous
knowledge of the,man, incidentally acquired during
their contemporary representation in the Congress
of the United States, joined to his commanding and
eloquent oratorical ability, especially fit him to pro.
nounce a due oration: on the life, character, puhzic
services, and general hiatory of the illustrious de
ceased. Be it, therefore
Resolved, By the Select and Common Councils of
the City ofLincaster, that a joint committee o f three
member, from each Council be appointed to wait
upon MR. BUCHANAN and invite him to deliver
such oration, at as early a day as may suit his con
venience, and in .the event of his acceptance, that
said committee be:inetructed to mace nil necessary
arrangements for the same.
Copper Harbor Alining Companies.
The Pittsburgh and Isle Royal Company have been
in operation abontthree years, and are doing a good
businesi, They have mode one shipment of Smelted
Copper, and. have more toady, to ship. Siscoroil
Mining Company have about 30 men at work; they
commenced thls - spring, and have made a small
shipment oflmelted Copper. The prospects of
these Companies
_are very dattering.
Ohio and Isle Royal Company have employed
about twenty-five men through the winter, and their
force will be increased thin summer. Minesota Min
ing Company, on the.south side of the island on the
Ontenagrin river, are in successful operation ; they
are also tp work in. an ancient mine, and will em
ploy a large force this summer. All the above
companies are doing a profitable business. And, al
though copper is 1101. gold, it is thOught that it will
prove full aa profitable to the " diggers," as the gold

New , York...undo*, of the neiniiersioy,
We aro, molly rejoiced to learn' from our ex
change -papers froin the State of New.Yerkithat the
Dedocracy of that State are now beginning to min.
glelogetber in fraternal unity. This Will beaming
intelligence tit:thellemocracy of the entire country:
; On the 26th ult., a Union COnvention assembled in
the - City,of Buffalo, the proceedings of which clearly
indicate that - past differences an to be buried and
forgotten in the Empire State. The Courier says!
, c It being the first and only successful effort that
has been made in any part of the State to restore the
union that existed orriorig.the democratic masses up
to the Fill of 1847, the movement can hardly fail to
be regarded with deepinterest and received with
favor."
-We copy a couple of the regolutions;ro. that Our"
readers may gee tire' spirit which prevailed at thia
Union Convention :
• Resolved, That now, as in past years, we recog ,
nize two great political antagonistic elements, the
one progressive in its tendenaiea, struggling.. to
secure to every citizen the enjoyment of equal rights
and privdeges,and to restore all
,political -power aa
nearly.as - possible to the; people, and which, eon
stitutea the essence of democracy ; the other opposed
to progressAemanding. special privileges, and'.go•
vernmental protection for the. favored_ ew at the
expense or the many, and leading to the centraliza
tion and increase of delegated political power, and
constituting the essence of federidient.
Resolved, That, WWI union on honorable;terms of
all - those opposed to thopytaciples - and practices of
the present National =and State Whig'Administra*
tions, should be-effected, with dTrank and sincere
dispositiOn to bury pan diffevences of members of
the old Democratic party, there is in the opinion:of
this. Convention, nothing in the past Watery or pre
sentposition ofthe party that should in any way pre
clude or prevent such united action against our old
political foes'; and from present indications in every
pattof the State, we look with confidence and hope
to a grand rally of the Democratic masses which
shall carry dismay intothe rank* of Federalism._

ANNEXAIION OF CANADA..-A Toronto correspon

,
BCS his : positive conviction that a roSjority •of the
people of Canada are willing to be annexed to the
government of thd United States. His language, it
will bo seen by llicTollowing extract, is very de
cided :
I believe the time to hive arrived when annexa
tion could be effected if it depended upon a majority
of the Canadians. I have come' to this conclusion
by mixing with all classes of society, and by close
observation. You cannot enter the house of any
well in formed man in Canada, and broach the subject
of politics, but,annexation is spoken of as a cure for
all our present misfortunes, and the fact is, that un
til we have annexation we shall have no peace, no
prosperity or safety in , the.province.!,_
