Desert, a large island ofF the ■ coast of Maine, an old fisherman hg. the name of .. Jedediati Spinuct, who otvoed aschodncr of come " , hundred tons burden, in which, together wi th ' four stout sons, was wont to go, about once a r your to the Grand Danhs for the purpose ofijach • iug codfish. The old man bad five things, upon ' the peculiar merits of which beloved to boast— . his schooner ; “Betsey. Jenkins/’ and bis four • sons were all that their father represented them to he, and no one ever doubted bis word when he • said their like are not to bo found for fifty mites r arouad. The oldest was thirty-two, while tho ‘ youngest had ijust completed his. twenty-sixth ■ year; and they answered to the namcaSeth, Andrew, John and Samuel. - / • One morning a stranger called upon JeJediah. to engige binTi to take to Havana some iron. m:i ■‘ i chiucry belonging to steam engines for sugar •‘■plantations. Tbe terms was soon, agreed upon, and tbe old man and bis sons immediately set - about putting tho machinery on board s' thatJtc . * complishcd, they set Bail for Havana; with a fair • wind, and lor several days proceeded on their course without an adventure of any kind. One /. morniog, however, a vesßelwas descried offtheir starbocvl quarter, which, ofter some hesitation, the old man pronouncod to bo a pirate. .; There .was not much time allowed them for doubting, for tho vessel soon saluted them with a very agreeable Whizzing of an eighteen pound shot ju3t under their stem. .“That means for us to henvo to,” remarked. . the old man. “Then I guess weM bolter do it, hadn’t wo, r * . said Seth. , > “Of course.” Accordingly the Betsey Jenkins was brought up into the wind, and hermoinboom hauled over •to windward. “NoW, boys/’ said the old man as soon os tho - schooner came. to a stand, ‘.‘all we can do is to be as cool as possible, and trust to fortune.— . Thero is no way to escape, that I caii sco now, : but’perhap3 if we are civil they will take such stuff as they Want, and then let us go. At any rate there ia no use in crying about it, for it can’t. tjfr helped. Now get your pistols and see r :.. that they, are surely loaded," and Thavo your knives ready $ but be sure and hide them so that : tho piratca shall see no khowof resistance; In a few moments all tho arms which tha Bchooner : affordedj with the exception of one or two old muskets, were secured about tbe persons of our Down Easters, and they quietly awaited the coming of the pirate; “One word more, boys/’ said the old man; jast :as 1 the pijrate came round under the stern. ; “Now . watch every movement I make, and be ready to jump the moment I Speak.-' ‘ An CaptamSpinnet;ceascdspeakiog, thopiriite ; luffed tip under, the fisherman’s lee quarter, and -•in a moment more the latter’s deck was graced by tho presence of a dozen as savage looking ; mortals as eyes ever rested upon.. “Arc you the Captain of this vessel,’’ naked the leader of the boarders, as he approached tbe ••. old man. , "Yes, sir.” ' ' “What is yonr cargo V ' "Machinery for steam ingin3.” • ••Nothing dsc?” asked the pirate, with a pen etrating look. At this moment Captain Spinnet’s eye caught • what looked like a sail off to the sonth’ard and ensfnrd, but not a sign betrayed his discovery, . mid while a brilliant idea shot through his mind, • he hesitatingly replied— “ Well, there is a little something else.” “Ho, and what is it?” : ■ “Why, sir, p’raps I hadn’t ought to tell, said Capt, ipinnet, counterfeiting the most extreme perturbation. “You-see, ’twns given me as a sort of trust, an* ’twouidn’t be right for mo to give it up: You oka take anything else that you please, for I e’pose I can’t help myself.” ■ atony rate," said the pirate,“but if you would live -ten minutes longer, just tell me what you hove on board, and exactly the place where it lays.” The*sight of a cocked pistol brought tho old . man to his senses, and, . in a depreciating tone, ho mnttered— . “ Don'tdriU mo, Bir, don’t. I’ll.tell you all. We’ve got forty thousand silver dollars nailed up in boxes, and stowed away under some of the • ■ boxes just for’ard o’ tho cabin bulk head, but Sir. Defoe didn’t suspect that auy body would have -thought of looking for it there.” ■ “Perhaps so,” chuckled the pirate, while bis eyes sparkled with delight. An then turning to his own vessel he ordered nil .but three of his men to jump abonrd the Yankee. , ' r - . .In a few moments tho pirate had taken off the ■ hatches, and in their bosto to get at tho “ silver dollarB,” they forgot all else; but not so with Spionet; ho had his wits at work, and no : ■ sooner had tho last of the villains disappeared below tho'hatchwsy, than he turned to his boys. “Now, boys, for .yourlives. Seth, youclap your knife across the forethroat and peak hal yards an’ you, John, out tho main. Bo quick, - now,- and tho moment you've done it, jump aboard the pirate. Andrew and Sam, you cast off the pirote’s gvapiingB, on’ then - you jump—then ■ wo’il walk into them tbreo chaps aboard the ■ clipper. Nowforil!" No sooner were tho last words out of the old man’s mouth than bis sons did exactly as they had been directed. The foro and mainhalyardß wore cut, and tho two grapplinge cast off at tho same instant, and as the.heavy gaffs camo rat thug down, our five heroes leaped on board the . pirate. The moment the clipper felt her liberty her head swung off, and before the astonished bucancers conldgain the deck of the fisherman, their own vessel was holf a cable’s lengfh to leeward, sweeping.: gracefcdly away before the .wind while the three men who had been-left in charge were easily secured. " Halloa, there I” shouted Captain Spinnot, as tho-luckless pirates crowded round the leegang way of them prize " when you find them 'erf . silver dollars, just let ns know, will you Half a-dozen pistol shots was all tho answer tho Old man got, but they did him no harm - and crowding on all sail, ho made for tho voss’ei ho . had discovered, ftbioh loy.dead to.loeword of him : aud which ho now made out to be a largo ship. •m The clipper cut through the water like a and in a remarkably.sbors space of time Spinnot luffed up under the ship's‘’Stern, and explained : all that :had happened. - The ship proved to be an East Indlnman, bound for Charleston, hav , ing, all told, thirty men on board, twenty of . .. -whom: at: once jumped. into the clipper. and .. offered their , services in helping to take tho pirates. Before dark, Captain Spinnet was once more within. hailing distance of his own vessel, and : - raising a trumpet to his mouth, he shouted ?” i - “ Schooner ahoy! Will you quiotly sun-ender yourselves prisoners, if wo come on board’"’ ,*f Cotno and try it 1” returned the pirate can ‘ taut; as he brandished his cutlass above his head B 7 MAM 1 hit At* in o .ery threatening manner, which seemed to indicate that he would fight to the last. But that was his Inst moment, for Seth was crouched below the bnlwarhs, taking ■ deliberate aim along ‘the bnrrel- of a heavy rifle, and as tbe .bloody villain was in tiio act.of -taming to' his men, tho sharp oraok of cSetit Spinnet’s weapon rang its death peal, ; abd the next mo ment the pirate captain fell bacfcinto ihc arms of his men, with a brace of buueta through his heart. ... ■ “Now,” shouted tho old man, as he lcvollcd tho dong pivot gun, and seized a lighted match “ i’ll give you just five minutes to make up your minds In, and if you don’t surrender, I’ll blow overy oue of you into the other world.” The death of their captain, and withal, tho sight of tlie .pointed pivot gun—the peculiar properties of whioh they knew full well— brought tho pirates to their Benscs, and they threw down their weapons, and agreed to give themselves up. In two days from "that time Captain Spinnot delivered his cargo safely in Havana, gave the pirates into tho hands of the civil authorities, and: delivered tho clipper up to tho government, hi return for which ho received a sum of money sufficient for an independence during the remain der of his life, ob well ns a very handsome modal from Ibe Governor. •Unify ftot.

BRACKESIUDGE His signified his willingness, to be a candi date for Congress, and in a letter to the Journal he defines his-position about as clear and trans parent as the big piles of mud that our attentive street commissioner permits to occumulato upon the streets. Thcro are some things, however, in- Mr. B.’s letter that can be seen 'through, foggy as thoy are. He declares himself for Scott, and ex~ plains his opposition to Piilmore(by asserting that that very worthy Whig has one term, Now,; this is no argument in favor of Mr.-B.’s. nomination for Congress. He should remember that ht has served one term already, and ho should now be agreeable to the applica tion of the one term principle to his own case, as well as that of Mr. Fillmore. He has no right to object to the high vaulting ambition of his Acoidency so long, as he is in tho same cate gory.; Fillmore, like himself, has only filled a vacuum, made by the necessity of the case. If Mr. Brackchridge is to bo a candidate, we hope that Mr. Craig will spread himself in the same position. Brackcnridge beat him the last time he ran, and wo desire, that he should give him another tarn now. These two gentlemen have Recently had a very animated controvcrayabout the history of Pitta burgh, which was concluded to the perfect satis faction of both the gentlemen, and with the full consent of the community. There is no person we have yet seen, who can say which: of the two was tho hotter man in the controversy, for no one has been found who will admit that be bao read it; bht if they wilt run for Congress once more, ,wc think that will settle the question, and both of them, individually and collectively, will have leave to retire at the same time. Washington Union.— We observo that Major A. J. Donaldson lias disposed of his interest in the Washington Union to his partner, Gen. Arm strong, and retired from the conconi. Many will rcgrct-Mr. I>.’s withdrawal from editorial life,: as he is well known as a vigorous writor and .sound democrat. It is true, there aremany of his opinions that wc have considered mere vaga riesdn: our meridian, hut in the niain, he was sound and eloquent in. his. advocacy aud defence of the great principles of the party, . He leaves the Union in worthy hands. Nobet tcr democrat could fill the post than Gen. Arm strong, tho friend and favorito of the great Jack son. Wo wish him all tho snccoss that Ids high merits deserve. . Extba Flouii in Baitimohe;— Tho Legislature of Maryland has just passed a law, which goes into, effect immediately, .making it the duty of the general inspector of flour in the city of Bal timore to causo all barrels of flour of a superior quality to that which is denominated and brand* ed superfine, and not of the quality of family, to bo branded extra. The standard of this grade is to be procured in the same manner as the stand ard of family flour is now obtained. The Flour Inspector of our district thinks that a law of that kind is unnecessary hero, as he is if little extra himself when properly inspected, and he does hot consider that any farther brandiog in his cose is necessary, inasmuch as .tho marks mado upon him by tho flour dealers are still quite legible.

Notwithstanding all tho gasconading of tho Soott Whigs and Free Soilefs, Fillmobe will carry a large number of the delegates in the State of Now York—possibly one-half of the del egation to tho Whig National Convention. .

There is something in the article that wo cannot understand : We are printers onr seWes, and we hare always thought that we had right to work late or early,-just as -our humor might suit the occasion. . But this notion,-it ap pears, is ruled out by associations, and ouroom plying disposition enables a non-complylug oo temporary, (who also boasts that he is a non-re sistant,) to publish later news than his comply ing neighbors can insert. We have no complaint to make against the Journal on account of its superior “ enterprise,” but wo think the committee of tho Printers’ As sociation should. bavo defined their objeotion to_ the “ straggling printers” employed in that of fioo moro clearly than it is done in tho publica tion below. The. undersigned, a committee appointed for the purpose of making a public statement of the unpleasant difficulties existing between the Commercial Journal office of thiß city and the Pittsburgh Typographical Association, in com pliance with tho duty devolving upon them, have investigated tiie matter, and hereby present it to the public generally ami the craft particu larly : . ... .■: ; When iho Association- passed. tho “ Declara tion” abolishing Sundny work, a committee of three was appointed to notify the publishers of morning papers of tho act, and to ask their co. operation with us in this great step to reform; the craft in that respect. Mr. Riddle, of the Commercial Journal, replied to the noto, stating his entire approbation and co-operation, at the same time intimating that he wonld not compiy with the rule as far as related to the wovking after twelve o'clock on Sunday night, but that, "if liis interests demanded it, he would have two hours labor performed from twelvc.o’clock to two,” on Monday morning; aud that he would hot he dictated to by any Association. The journeymen in. the; qfiice signed the De claration, (with the exception of one compositor, and the foreman, neither of Whom wereraombera of the Association,) and, by so doing, were dis charged from.their.situations. A. few straggling, printers from tho country were immediately in stalled in the vacant stands of those discharged, having been engaged previous to their having any kuowlcdgoof tho standing of the office in the eyes of tho members of the Association.- Some of these persons, however, have since liecn indu ced to join the Association, and are,.-therefore, without situations. Thiß committee are satisfied that the course of Mr. Kiddie upon this matter has not been of much (if any) advantage to itis establishment; on the contrary, it is their opin ion that it would militate against, rather than promote, the interests of that journal. For, no laboring man can arise from his slumbers in the dead of night to perform several hours work on Monday morning, and he fitted foi his task the remainder of the day’ • Mr.. Riddle 'will find, when too late for remedy, that bisrprojected plan of working two hours on Monday morning, will finally result in a resump tion of Sunday work, as his compositors would prefer tlm regular time allotted for rest; rather than arise from their comfortable slumbers at midnight,when the issue of Tuesday’s paper will require them to labor during till.of Monday, and until a late hour of that night. In conclusion, tho committee..think itbutright. that mention should bo mado of tlioso proprie tors and publishers who liavo. co-operated with the Association in the reform: Messrs Foster & Flceson, of the Dispatch-, Harper & Phillips of the Poet ; White & Co., of the Gazette, and Eli ot, Layton & Co., of the Union, warmly signified their willingness to aid ns in carrying out those principles which wo have set forth in the Decla ration and resolutions published on tho 6th of April. And this statement is, in part, published in order to let tho public generally have a knowl edge of those Who have; at heart the health of their employers, os well as their own pecuniary interest. Hoping that the Commercial-Journal mil Boon be enrolled on the list, with the papers above mentioned, and for the prosperity of our employ ers generally we “subscribe oursolvesj . theirs truly, ALEX.

Tho Court,of Appeal.of New York, on Tues day last, at Albany, decided the Caual law of that State to be unconstitutional. It was in pursaanee of that law that the recent'extraodi nary contracts to tho amount of nine millions of dollars were given out.

After run ning about half a mile, and as they were turn ing a curve in the road, they were met by 3 lo comotive and tender, which was hacking up from the creek to the mamior. The unfortunate occupants of the handcar had but a moment's wanting, and that, moment serv ed only to paralizo the ladies with fear. One of tho men seized his wife and one of the young ladies, and sprang from the car when tlio collis ion took place: three of them wero thrown un der the locomotivo and crushed to death, and; the other was found, mortally wounded by a blow which she received in the forehead. The awfully mangled remains of the bodies were picked up and brought back to the manor, to those friends who had joyously parted with them but a few moments before; but the wail of; woo went up where the sounds of joy had been. As near ns we can ascertain them this morn ing, the names of tlio young ladies killed, wore : Miss Wright, of Oswego, and Miss Williamson, Miss Allen, and Miss Andrus, of Pierpont man or.
