maybe she don’t log.
C Wrofe many letters, and them was on
9 doors to let’em'know Sixty's men was
nil around for the target go. Bnt I’m blessed if
i hasn’t a curiosity to know wots about that ere
Rre ’Nihilafor-wirich the papers are makin’ snoh
v a mass abonti and I’m agoing to WTite one moro
letter to ask. :. r
-.J.know it’s a humbug afore I commence, j
cause that ere Barnum lays the hose ofthe whole
concern There’s some kind of a Jenny Lind |
” ketch ” about it though, or ho wouldn’t go in I
Maybe he ain’t coon though! He s around i
when there’s money in the pipe—bet your life
on th-a-t.
■ Tm odased if I didn’t study over the "Sun”
one blessed hour the other day, at Peter Snedi
ker’s bar room, a trying to find out wot it was
all about. There’s a man named Phillips in
vented it, the Sun said; but now looS-a-here,
where iB Phillips anyhow ? Ef he’s around,
roll him out for inspection. -Where does he keep
his maehinc to put out a fire with a stream of
smoke, gushing through a pipe? Oh ga-a-a-s !
Whydon’the bring the ’Nihilator out and try it
on a'fire? ’ Ef-heTi only try it when Sixty’s boys
have got their streams on, I guess he’ll know
who’s got the strongest play 1
- It’s a brass machine with a briokbat in—the
paper said. Now I believe that ere; I does !
Acoa the man Phillips must have had a bnck in
his hat when he invented it. Perhaps it’s the
same brick wot he puts into the machine 1 A
brickbat made of nitre and charcoal with some
stuff they calls gypsum—with a bottle inside
with sugar and potash and vitnol; and when
they smash ’em all up together the gas comes
out of the pipe and puts the fire out!
Ohg-a-a-s! Her better believe I’ll swallow
that ere humbug!
Wasn’t lat fifty fires where there wus drug
stores a burning? Hav’nt I seen nitre and gyp
sum, with potash and vitriol, burning together
like a stable roof? Don’t I know better ? Hav’nt
I heard of the big jimxnyjohn of vitriol whioh
got upsot down in the cellar of that store down
in Maiden Lane, where Number Thirty played
old ’Three out of sight ? Lord, how it did burn
and phiz!
j Talk of ebarooal, too ! No, you don’t! 1
guess I knows all about charcoal by this time—
I does.
0 I read as how all engines will be worth now
will be to put the smoke out and wash the old
embers; that this ere gas knocks down flame as
just flame used to knock down old Corneel An.
derson. And yer may go yer length that flame
’ill mind this here gas just about as much as
-Corneel used to mind flame! Now, if Mr.
- Barnum or the corporation-think that Fm goin
to take the machine to de fire to play second
fiddle to this gas, they may just take my coat
and wear it out next Christmas. I don’t sleep
by de machine for- nothing! I doesn’t olean it
out every Sunday for nQthing 1 I doesn’t run
to a fire out of my district without 1 knows my
fun. What’s the fan of pumping water on a bit
:of smoke Td like to know? D’ye think I’ve
held Sixty’s pipe for nothing, when the man m
jide calls out to stop, the fire’s out ? Maybe I
can’t drench a house out, though—just try me,
though. Maybe, too, I can’t hit a streak of
flame at sixty feet, and only half strike!
And.yer don’t get thiß ere child to carry one
of them ere ’Nihilators, He aint so fond of
-gasses-s! I might os well be a juryman or Con*
tinentaler in a three-conered bat, going down
Broadway with a tag of niggers at his heels.
As Ned Forrest—and he’s one of the boys—says
in Othello, when I comes to that “my occupa
tion’s gonejust Uke a rainy Fourth of July.
We got a talking over this new rig of Bar
numTs in''the- engine house last Sunday night,
and our foreman, who knows a bit or two worth
knowing abont books, says the ’Nihilator will
-end in smoke—there’s nothing lively about it.
A few precious gulls ’ll be bitten by it, and then
folks ’ll take to the firemen sweeter than ever.
But my mind after all amt exactly straignt
about it. I’d like to measure off the hose afore
I gives in one way to tother. If Number Six
ty’s men are going to be humbugged by a par
cel of old boxes (Uke a boy’s squirt engine,)
worked with Jbnckbats and vitriol, I'm gom’ to
leave the company right soon; yer may bet
your life on that.— Oxe who Buss with No.

Reception Of Workingmen by KosfQth.
On the 17th instant, the workmen in the piano
forte manufactory of Bacon & Haven, were re
ceived at the Irving Honso by Gov. Kossuth, to
whom they made an address, and presented the
handsome-sum of $BO5 for the cause of Hunga
ry. This amount was raised by subscription
among the men m the factory, numbering about
ninety altogether. In their address they said—
“We are Russians, Swedes, Danes, Hungari
ans, Germans, Englishmen, Irishmen, Scotch
men, and Americana, but are all, m fact or in
tention, citizens of the United Staten We glory
in the principles of liberty combined in our De
claration of Independence, and desire their ex
tension to ail the nations of the world.
** I confidently hope for aid from yoor glorious
country for the sustainment of that struggle,
and the prevention of Russian interference- In
speaking of Russia, I do not include the people
of that country; I refer only to the government,
as there is a'great distinction between the two
I. insist upon the fact that the cause of Hungary
is worthy of your generouß sympathy and assist
ance. If the independence of Hungary be not
preserved,. Russian despotism will continue to
encroach upon European freedom. Without this
independence, the liberties of Europe can never
be achieved. As in olden time we threw baok
the tide of Moslem power, and resisted its fur
ther progress for centuries, so might we now
hurl back Russian invasion. - The force of the
Moslem was broken upon Hungary, and that
position is still assigned us by God to beat back
advancing despotism.”
When Kossuth concluded, he was introduced
to each member of the delegation.
A foreign correspondent of the N. Y. Commer
cial Advertiser presents the following picture of
Austrian finances:
Austria is at present in soch a fearful condi
tion in reference to her finances, that it would
he. sheer.madness to plunge her into external
difficulties. Her annual deficit, at the present
rate of expenditures, is between sixty and eigh
ty millions of fiorins, and there is very little
prospect of diminishing it for some time to come
The only way to do so would be a diminution of
her immense military establishment. A reduc
tion. Was indeed published a short time since, but
on the most favorable calculation it would only
make a saving of fifteen millions, which would
- of course diminish the general deficit very little;
and it ia even Baid that the order for this reduc
tion has been rescinded, in view of the state of
.things in France. But even supposing it carried
out,. there are at the same time additions being
made, which will about compensate for it- Cer
tain new regiments are being formed in Transyl
vania, amounting altogether, it is said, to about
80,000 men,-»-and the depreciation of paper mo
ney is becoming greater and greater, notwith
standihgthe late loan which was intended to help
It. How it will end no one can tell.
The precious metals were going ap so rapidly
' the past week, that the Government, for the
second tune, interfered on Change to pnt down
dealing in them by foroe. The chief of the po
lice, frith several of his subordinates, went per
. aonally to the Exchange, in the -first place, a
dozen of soldiers with fixed bayonets attending
hint,at the door. His presence damped all bnsi
ness, So that the exchange fell immediately two
or three per cent. The next day,- several brok
ers were served, with notices, that'unless they
ceased dealing in foreign bills, but particularly
- in gold and. silver, they might expect veiy un
pleasant consequences. Only persons having a
ticket from the police, can goon ’Chafage at all;
and-even those are now actually afraid to do
-business, ftr fear of falling under the displeas
ure of tjie government. ■ The consequence is that
the exchange now stands at a fixed point, the
published rate-being in fact no criterion at all of
its real state. . - These; facts show-the precarious
condition of Austria, even iniheenjoymentof
• peace.-How muoh more so,- if heedlessly plun
ged into a-war;/in. : Which- ehe oould at least gain
nothing, but might lose incalculably.

CHRISTMAS DAY
The annual return of thiß Festival is always
recurred to, among young people, as one of
the happiest days of the year; and even to mid
dle life and old age, it brings, in most cases,
more of joyonsness than is wont to be noted at
any other time. The observance of this day him
long.been regarded, by a large portion of man
kind, as of much consequence;—because of the
sacred mission of Him whose natal day it is
asserted to be; on account of the benefioial ef- I
teot exerted upon the community, in a social
point of view, by its observance; and also be
cause of tbe holy thoughts awakened in the
minds of all the truly devout, when contemplat
ing the great events that have occurred upon our J
little globe, daring the last two thousand years'
—but more especially since the advent of the
Messiah. Sectarian prejudice on the part of
some, and a great reliance upon merely human I
rather than Divine teaching by others, bus en- j
gendered a disposition to blot this day from the
Calendar; and with it, of course, all its cere
monies, and all the holy thoughts connected with j
it, and all the delightful remembrances that it
has impressed upon the human mind. However,
while we would purge from religious observan
ces all that can by any means render less free the
human mind, or that could possibly inflict ill and
injury upon man, we are not willing to join with
those who would discard from among our reli
gious and festive observances those of this day,
unless higher ground shall be urged for the
adoption of that oourse than the dictates of
mere human wisdom, or the foot that particular
classes of professing Christiana recognise thin as
a Holy Day.
As all engaged in our office wish to par
ticipate m the usual festivities, uo paper will be
issued from this office to morrow morning.—
Readers, we all greet you with “A merry

TIIK MAYORALTY
NOMINATION ok JOHN 11. GITHKIE.
The Democratic City Convention, which assem
bled m tbe Court House yesterday .nominated John
B. Guthbie, Esq., the present incumbent, as tbe
Democratic candidate for Mayor. The unanim
tty with which this nomination was made, must
be gratifying in the highest degree, not only to
the personal and political friends of Mr. Gcth
bie, but also to every citizen who has at heart
the honor, dignity, welfare and prosperity of the
City of Pittsburgh. We have never in our lives
witnessed the proceedings of a Convention,
where more order, unanimity, and good feeling
prevailed. The re-nomination and election of
Mayor Guthbie will insure to our city, for an
other year at least, a continuance of the admir
able administration which now exists, and will
give our oitizens the fullest guaranty that their
lives and property will be protected from harm.
We ask the reader for a moment to take a
retrospective glance at the condition of affaire
which existed in this city a little over a year
ago, before Mr. Guthbxc was chosen Chief Mag
istrate. We all remember the alarming and
disgraceful proceedings which were witnessed
by day and by night, and whioh operated no I
little to the dishonor and disgrace of the city at I
home and abroad. Disorder, rowdyism, theft
and arson, were things of every day occurrence,
resulting from the mal-administration of a man
iac Mayor. Whigs and Democrats, men of all
parties, with a unanimity unprecedented, ral
lied in the support of Mr. Guthhie, and elected
him Chief Magistrate by an overwhelming ma
jority. Soon decency and morality took the
place of rowdyism and confusion—order took the
place of chaos.
We now ask every man of intelligence, has
not Jobe B. Guthbie, through his wise, prudent,
orderly and vigilant administration, redeemed
the character of our city ? Has he not more
than met the expectations of all those who voted
for him, whether Democrats or Whigs ? We feel
assured that these interrogatories will be an
swered in the affirmative by every candid man.
That Mr. Guthbie will be re-elected Mayor of
Pittsburgh wo cannot for a moment doubt. We
do not expect of oourse that this result will be
brought about entirely by the votes of Demoorats
although we feel" confident that the Democracy I
will yield to him a cordial and enthusiastic sup
port. Hundreds of good Whigs, who esteem the
honor, glory, welfare and prosperity of our oity
above mere party considerations, will again cheer
fully vote for Joira B. Gothbib. They will do this I
out of no personal disrespeot towards Mr. Baw
veb, the Whig nominee—who we admit is a good
and worthy citizenbut solely for the purpose
of continuing in office for another year one of
the best Mayors we have ever had in Pittsburgh.
B®, In the First Dirstriot Court of the
United States a singular and important suit has
been commenced by the United States against
Kilty Smith, a broker of New Orleans and his
son, John Chandler Smith, a resident of Balti
more. The plaintiff states that Kilty Smith
was a defaulter thirty years ago, as Navy Agent,
in the sum of $280,000, for whioh judgment
was obtained in the District of Columbia in the
year 1822. Since that time Mr. Smith has been
doing a very heavy business under his son’s
name. The court has granted a writ against
the bank deposits and all other property of the
firm, to bo held until the suit is decided.
, £§s“ We have mentioned the death of Miss
Setm Fogg, daughter of Hon, F. B. Fogg, sen
ator from Davidson county, Tenn. She was the
great grand-daughter of Edward Rutledge and
Arthur Middleton, two signers of the declara
tion of independence, and waß greatly odlnired
for her intellectual, moral and personal accom
plishments. In token of respect for herself and
.fathers both housesof the Tennessee legislature
-adjourned vto attend, her funeral. This is an
.honor tre have never known paid before to the
imemoiy of any lady.:; .

FIRE! AT THE CAPITOL.
Prom our telegraphic reports it, will bo seen ;
that a very destructive fire baa oocurrfed at the
Capitol; which Tvill reaujt pe
country—if we ; tnay place any reliatjce upontbe
| reports. This cannot Safely be done to any
considerable extfint, as is fully indicated by the
difference between the reports yesterday morn
ing; and those received last night. This, how
ever, we can soy with safety,—that the wisdom
of. Congress will be rendered much less question
able hereafter, if provision shall be made to guard
against any similar occurrence in future. Each
alcove might have been made fire proof at a less
cost than the replacement of the property that
has been destroyed. But our t rise legislators :
have become so beggarly economical of late, that
more of the public money is wasted in trying to
cheapen everything than would pay honest men
for doing basiness as it ought to be done.
We are inclined to believe that incendiarism
has caused this destruction of the Library, which
is one of the most valuable in the world.
Democratic City Convention.

whereupon
Mr. Coyle nominated JOHN B (JUTHRIE,
Esq., the present incumbent.
Mr. Weils nominated DAVID CAMPBELL,
Esq.
-t was then moved that the Delegates vote p»ea

After the voting was concluded, the President
announced the following result:
John B. Guthbie received THIRTY-FIVE
David Campbell received TEN votes . and
JOHN B. GUTHRIE having received a majority
of the votes cast, was declared to be regularly
nominated as the Democratic candidate for Ma
yor of the City of Pittsburgh.
Mr. Fleming, of the Ninth Ward, moved that
John B. Guthrie be declared unanimously nomi
nated, and the question being put was carried
accordingly.
Mr. Kirkpatrick moved that the officers of the
Convention constitute a committee to wait upon
and aoquaint Mr. Guthrie with the fact of his
nominationwhich was carried.
Mr. Coyle, chairman of the oommittee on re*
solutions, then submitted the following report,
which, after being considered, was, on motion
of Mr. Fleming, unanimously adopted :
The Committee appointed to prepare resolu
tions, expressive of the sense of this Convention,
report as follows:
Whereas, In nominating John B. Guthrie
os a candidate for the office of Mayor, and in
asking the citizens of Pittsburgh, for their sup.
port of said nomination, this Convention refers
with oonfidenoe, to the integrity, ability, correct
deportment, and striot impartiality displayed by
Mr. Guthrie, in the discharge of his offioial
duties during the present year. His adminis
tration has been marked by the restoration of
order, and a faithful management of our muni
cipal affairs; the laws of the land, as well as
our domestio regulations have been properly
enforced. The persons and property of ail good
oitizens, have been guarded with prudent vigi
lance, whilst the robber, incendiary, and habitual
malefactor have been ferretted out, and brought
to punishment. It is not too much to say, that
under the vigilant, and at the same time humane,
administration of Mayor Guthrie, Pittsburgh has
retrieved her character for peace, sobriety, and
good order. This is a matter in which every
honest citizen must feel a deep personal interest,
and it is with pleasure, that this Convention is
enabled once more, to offer the name of John B.
Guthrie to their fellow citizens, as in all respeots
the most eligible candidate for their suffrages.
Therefore,
Resolved , That this Convention recommend to
the Democratic voters of Pittsburgh, a cordial,
efficient, and unanimous support of John B.
Guthrie for the office of Mayor.
Resolved, That this Convention respectfully
invite all good oitizens, who dread a recurrence
of past evils, and are solioitous for Lhe honor
and reputation of our city, as well as its pros
perity in a business point of view, to unite with
ns in the support of Mayor Gnthrie, who has
already entitled himself to their respect and
confidence, as a worthy, honest, and faithful
Chief Magistrate.
Mr. Barnett moved that the President appoint
a City Committee of Correspondence for the en
suing year, which was oarried.
Mr. Barnett then moved that the Convention
adjourn ; and before the question was put,
The President arose and returned his thanks
to the Convention for the good order and kind
feelings which were manifested by all the Dele
gates, throughout their deliberations. He did
not hesitate to declare that this demonstration
was indicative of the popular sentiment amongst
the Democratic masses and the oitizens general
ly. He believed that the re-election of Mayor
Guthrie was a fixed and unalterable fact
The Convention then adjoarned tine die .

Mb. L. Harpeb —
Dear Sir:—The few words I spoke to you
yesterday on the subject of the Allegheny Val
ley Railroad, led to an whioh I desire to
correct. The Books for subscription to the
stock of the company were but temporarily iu
my possession. They will be found at the store
of Messrs. Logan, Wilson & Co. on Wood street
near your office.
All who feel the importance of the proposed
Allegheny Road to the prosperity of our city
must fully appreciate the efforts of the press in
its behalf. And when those efforts result in
success, os they most surely will if our citizens
are awaked to the importance of now securing
the charter—the Morning Post may fairly claim
a large share of credit in the result.
The now existing charter is as favorable as
could be desired. It must not be left to the
chance of repeal amendment, and nothing but
£he present and prompt action of our citizens in
taking the three or four hundred shares which
yet remain to be subscribed can save it from the
interference of diverse interests early in the ap
proaching session of the Legislature.
Respectfully yours,
Non-laterrentlpni
A great demonstration was made in favor of
Ur. Kiskel in Milwaukee some weeks ago. Re
ferring to that, the Wisconsin says the Democ
racy of that State are fhr the “progressive”
view. It quotes and endorses this resolution
passed at the “great demonstration” at Mil
waukee:
“Resolved, That the policy of*the U. S. Gov
ernment, to remain neutral when the oppressed
of other countries are struggling to throw off
the yoke of tyrunny—while, at the same time,
monarchical governments are by the most artful
diplomacy, and even by force qf arms, endeav
oring to propagate and propetuate their institu
tions throughout the world, is not approved by
this meeting; but that we are decidedly in fa
vor the U. 8. Government using all diplomatic
aud other means to disseminate the principles
on which our institutions are based, and coun
tenance the efforts made in other countries for
the establishment of a government similar to
ours.”
“ We believe,’’ says this journal, “that this
resolution expresses the sentiment of the Wis
consin Democracy. 11
A Slap at the Organ.— The New York
Times quotes a paragraph from the Republic, in
which assaults are made on Kossuth and the
Times, and appends, among other comments,
the following :
“There is an epithet fitted for the extreme
littleness of the Republic in reference to this
business, which we forbear to bestow. It has
the peculiar honor of avowing doctrines and
expressing sympathies so thoroughly absolutist
in their tendencies, that we might imagine
Chevalier HulsemAnn or the Count de Bodisco
wrote the editorials. The London Times, the
expositor of English toryism, bos been all along
vastly more generous and republican in its tone.
There was no press iu England, that dared to
descend, as there was quite ns good an oppor- I
tunity of doing, to the use of such language as
this of the would-be organ of a Democratic Gov
ernment Perhaps they possessed better taste,
or less courage ; but they did not do it.”
fiST* A bill has passed one branch of the South
Carolina legislature, and will probably pass the
other, which exempts, in addition to the proper
ty now exempted by law, the dwelling house and
houses appurtenant thereto, together with fifty
aores of land, one horse, twenty-five dollars 1
worth of provisions, and one negro slave, to be
sleeted by the debtor, from levy and sale. The
provisions of the bill, however, do uot extend to
the inhabitants of a town or oity, or to prop
erty lying in such, but to the country exclu
sively.
Since knowing (from the late work on
New Zealand and oannibalism) that pork and
young women taste very much alike, we read
the market reports with a certain shudder. A
Liverpool paper says : —“ln American pork,
nothing doing. No new bacon was offered, and
the first arrival will sell well. Hams and shoul
ders go off slowly.”
