A few weeks since we made brief men Lion of the extensive cattle pens--nr, more properly speaking, cattle houses— recently erected in the vicinity of East Liberty. S.nee then we have taken the time to visit them, and purpose, in as brief ii manner as possible, to give the reader a - bird eye - view of their ca pacity and adaptdion to the objects for which they ani intended. These cat tle pens have le-en erected by the Pitts burgh Stock Yard Association, and arc designed for the hou , ing of eattle, hogs and sheep which may he brought to this • market by the Western drovers, The Association are the owners of some six ty acres of land on the eastern side of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, twenty-live of which Sr.', or will be oc cupied a cattle p.n... The balanoe of the sixty acres has been set apart for gardening purposes. with the exception of four acres, upon which the hotel noticed by us a day or two since has been erected The n'atut e of the ground is admirably suited for the purpo , e; intended. Na- "Twenty-Second."—The miniver ture has performed her part, and left hut nary of the birth-day of the '' Father ~I little for nit to , upply.

They are at stake, we should not let the occasion stretched across the grounds in parallel pass without some appropriate demon lines with mathematical accuracy, those stration. We should in some suitable designed for cattle being located on the manner show our reverence for the mem western, and th -se for hogs and sheep ! ory of the great and good man who was on the eastern lan gc, "tint in war, first in peace, and first in The cattle pens are eighty-five by fifty the hearts of his countrymen."

In a word, everything has been done to re nder the condition of the cattle desigucil t.t supply our market comfortable (luring the Mier bouts in tervening between their arrival and slaughter. The sheep and h. , g pens are in the same range with the cattle pens, one ixin tinuotis roof coverin: , all. They are floored with heavy oak planks and like the others are divided into double tiers. Here. as with the cattle pens, due precautions have been taken to provide proper drainage and - sewerage, so that all pbnoxious filth is promptly carried away. The pens designed exclusively for begs are thirty-five by forty feet, and like all the others, are peculiarly adapted to the purposes intended The attention of the vlsitcr trill be particularly arrested by the perfect ar rangements for baling and unloading stock of all kinds. A mammoth plat form extends the entire length nr the yards, connectod with which are shoots and reception pens. These shoots are so constructed tis io enable the lnading of the upper and Inw , or deck of a car at the seine time. Thl. r..cept ion pens ate so constructed ti,,:t :: stock train may be relieved of iis con.ents in a very brit!' space, withoht , ou(c-ioo or danger. In the rear of the rattle pens are loca ted the pens far Ow retallna. of stock, which are only about half the dimensions of the others. In these pens purchasers inspect the stock, thc owners driving them out of the general pens for the pur pose of exposing liana for sale. This is an excellent arrang,m - nt, and one which purchasers will appreciate, as it will en able them to transatil their business in a very brief space of time. Every convenience for watering stock has been in , roducf d. A limpid stream runs through the grounds, which will I, t , forced into a large wit t , r tank by an en gine erected for . the purpose. Pipes connect with this tank, through which the water will he conveyed to ail parts of the yards. Hydrants arc placed in every pen• so that the watering of the stock is rendered a trivial undertaking. It is designed to light all the pens 'with gas manufactured by the company, die absolute necessity or which we con fess we cannot see.• As the whole ar rangements are upon a scale of unsur passed grandeur and public convenience, . ___ _ we may be allowed to say that the idea 1 for Mayor's 01:Res.—Eighteen cases, of lighting these pens with gas is more ! for disorderly conduct, vagrancy and brilliant than mien'.

Mr. Algernon Roberts moved to strike out all after the word resolved, and insert the following "That the act March 16th, 186:1 he, and the saute herebo approved l the stockholder, the company."

Letters to Prisoners.—The ques tion often recurs, " Row shall we send letters to prisoners in the Confederacy so that they will reach their destination?" The following will answer the question : "Letters sent to prisoners and others within the rebel lines, must not exceed in length one page of a letter sheet, and must relate to merely personal and do mestic. matters. They must be signed by the writer's name in full. They must be sent with five cents enclosed (in ,oin ) if to go to Richmond, and ten cents (in coin) if thdy are to go beyond that point. They must be sent enclosed to the com manding general, department of Virginia, at Fortress Monroe, The letter for the prisoner must' ot be sealed.''

POST---PITTSIMUGH, Fill MORNING, FEBRuAity 19 1864. What Allegheny COuntY Has LO The announcement that the directors - of the Pennsylvania railroad edMpany have•declared an extra dividend of $l5 upon each share of the present capital stock of the company,' will be _k(ulte windfall to Philadelphia. The stock held by that corporation amounts to about $4,000,000, represented by 80,000 shares. The dvidend will add 24,000 shares ; NN hich at their) par value will amount•to $1,200,000, out this amount will he increased b,i the present market value of the stock. The city would bare been more benefited but that last week 2,000 shares of the stock deld by it were sold,— , a transaction which appears to excite considerable comment, and will probably be made the subject of investi gation. If our County Commissioners had not permitted themselves to be de luded into the fatal error of giving up the stock held by the county in the road, our share of the profits distributed by the late dividend would have been $300,- 000; yet the exchange of this stock,„was one ot the measures for the accomplish ment of whieh our leading anti-tax men labored With such real, and brining about which one of them, particularly, used in public and private to claim such credit.
