Simon's lets—"me, ded'dieh Suggi, that's been in the Lotd'e service these twenty years—me bet, nasty, sas triltin', ugly--" "I didn't go to say that, daddy; that wern't what I meant, adzactly. I meant to say that ef you'd let me off from this here maulin' you owe me, and give me 'Bunch,' ef I cut Jack, I'd give you all this era silver, ef I didn't—that all. To be sure, I aliens know'd you wouldn't bet." Old Mr. Suggs asrertained the exact amount of the silver which his son handed him, in an old leathern pouch for inspection. He also, mentally compared that-sum with an imaginary one, the supposed value of a certain Indian poney, called 'Bunch,' which he had bought for his 'old woman's' Sunday riding, and which had sent the old lady into a fence corner, the first—and only—time sbe had ever mounted him. As he weighed the pouch of silver in his hand, Mr. Suggs also endeavoted to analyze the character of the trans action proposed by Simon. It certainly can't be no thig' but givin,' no way it kin be twisted," he mur mured to himself. 'I know he can't do it, so there's no resk. What makes 'vain'? The reek. It's a one-aided business, and I'll jist let him give me all his money, that'll put all his wild spot tin' notions out of his heed." "Will you stand it, daddy?" asked Simon, way of waking the old man up; "You mought as well, for the whippin won't do you no good, and as for Bunch, nobody about the plantation, won't ride him, but me." "Simon," replied the old man. "I agree to it. Your old daddy is in a close place about payin' fur hi 4 land and this here money—it's jist eleven dollars, lacking of twentyfive cents—will help out mightily. But mind. Simon, ef any thing's said about this, hereafter, remember you give me the money." "Very well daddy. and ef the thing works up in stid down, I s'pose we'll say you give me Bunch, eh?" "Yon won't never be troubled to tell how you come by Bunch; the thing's agin ratter. and can't be done. What old Jed'diah Suggs knows, ha knows, as good as any hotly. Giveme them fixament, Simon." Our hero handed the cards to his father, tinned his back to that individual, in order to prevent his witness: ing the operation of mixing. He the sat down and eery leisurely commenced shuffling the cards, making, however, an exceedingly awkward job of it. Reserve kings and queens jumped from his hands, or obsti nately refused to slide into the company of the pack. Occasionally, a sprightly knave would insist upon lim ing his neighbor; or pressing his edge against another's, half double himself up, and then skin away. But El der Jed'diah perseveringly continued his attempts to subdue the refractory while heavy drops burst from his forehead and ran, down his cheeks. All of a slid deo-an idea, quick and penetrating as a rifle-ball, seem ed to have entered the cranium of the old man. He chuckled audibly. The devil had suggested to Mr Suggs an 'impromptu 'stock,' which would place the chances of Simon—already sufficiently slim in the old man's opinion—without the range of possibility. Mr. Suggs forthwith proceeded to cull out the picter cards, so.as to be certain to include the jacks, and place . them at the bottom; with the evident intention of keep ing Simon's fingers above these when he should cut. Our hero, who was quietly looking over his father's shoulders all the time, did not seem alarmed by this disposition of the cards; on the contrary, he smiled, as if he felt perfectly confident of success in spite of it. "Now, daddy," said Simon, when his father had an nounced himself ready, ''narry one of us aint got to look at the cards, while I'm cuttin'; if we do, it'll spilt) the conjuration." "Very well." "And another thing—you've grit to look me right dea& in the eye, daddy—will your "To be sure—to be sure,"—said Mr. Suggs; "fire away." Simon walked up close to his father, and placed his hand on the deck. Old Mr. Suggs looked in Simon's eye, and Simon returned the look for about three sec onds, during which a close observer might have detec ted a suspicious working about the wrist of the hand on the cards, but the elder Suggs did not remark ir. "Wake snakes! day's a breakin'! Rise Jack!" said Simon, cutting half a dozen cards from the top of the pack, and presenting the face of the bottom me fur the inspection of his father. It was the lack of Hearts! Old Mr Suggs staggered back several steps, u ith uplifted eyes and bands! "Merci'ul master!" he exclaimed, •"ef the boy hain't! well, how in the rotted creation of the —! lien did you eveit to be sure and sartin. Satan has • power on this yearth!" and Mr Suggs groaned in heavy bitterness. "You never seed nothing' like that in Augusty, did ye, daddy?" asked Simon with a malicious wink at Ben. "Simon how did you do it?" queried the old man, without noticing his son's question. "Do it, daddy? Do it? 'Taint nothin'. done it jest as easy as—sbeotin'." Whether this explanation was entirely, or in any degree, satisfactory to the perplexed mind elder Jed'- diah Suggs, cannot, after the lapse of time which has intervened, be sufficiently ascertained. It is certain, however, thaw pressed the investigation no farther, hut merely requested his soh Benjamin to witness the fact that, in cgasiderat ion of his love and affection for his son Simon, and in order to furnish the donee with the means of leaving that portion of the stale of Geor gia' be bestowed upon him the impracticable poney, "Bunch." "Ji.st so, daddy; jilt so; I'll witness that. But it minds me mightily of the way mammy give old Trail ler the side of bacon, last week. She is sweepin up the bath: the meat on the table—old Trainer jiimps up. gethert the bacon and darts, mammy arter him with the broom stick as fur as the door--but seeing the dog has got the start, she shakes the stick at him, and hot. len..

I only wish it WA3 full of a'snic and or -vomit and blue vitro', so as t'would cut your intrils into chitlins." That's a bout the way you give Bunch to Simon." It was evident to our hero that his father intended he should remain but one more night beneath the pa -cereal roof. What mattered it to Simon? Se' went home at night, curried and fed Bunch; whispered confidently in his ear, that ha was the "fas test piece of hose-fiesh, accordin' to size, that ever sha ded the yearih,'" and then busied himself in preparing for weedy start on the morrow.

PHILLIPS k ISM. IT. SMITH, EDITORS PITTSBURGH. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY, 6: Dtsmort.—The movements of those factious and mieguidea men who talk and affect to think of the Dis solution of the Union as a very unimportant matter, is calculated to excite mingled feelings of indignation and regret—indignation at their contumacious attempt to overthrow the greatest fabric ever reared by human wisdom,--and regret that our land is disgraced by such fanatic fools. These movements would awaken more apprehension if they were entirely unprecedented, and if a patriotic devotion of a large majority of the people to the Union had not been repeatedly tested in times of fiery trial. That majority has resisted and frowned down every attempt at disunion, whether coming from the South in the formidable shape of Nullification, or from the North by the more contemptible but not less bitter medium of petitions for the Dissolution of the U nion, such aa are c mfided to John Quincy Adams. But the Disunionistsof the North have evidently re • solved upon a concerted and extended effort to carry their atrocious purpose. The whigs and abolitionists of Massachusetts held a meeting in Boston a few days ego, which was got up with much trouble and circum stance—was trumpeted forth most industriously, and called together tot fraternal action in the fraternal bu siness of bringing about anarchy and civil war in the United States. This Convention is allowed by speakers, and spec tators, and all who have given it their attention, to be the beginning an important movement—an attempt to make a "beginning of the end" of peace, happi ness and concord in our country. It was called for the purpose of expressing views adverse to Annexa tion—or in the language of their call, to "resist the overthrow of Constitution." And the speakers, both whigs and abolitionists, were unanimously agreed that the annexation of Texas would over throw that bulwark of liberty—and all agreed that it would be the duty of Massachusetts to consider it as "NO ACT—AS sui.t. AND VolD." It was these very men who were, hot tor-stricken with Southern Nullifica tion, yet there, in old Fanned Hall, the very cradle of liberty.they deliberately rear the odious and fearful standard of Disunion and anarchy. A large minority of the meeting wished to go still further, and "declare the Union immediately dissolved upon the coming in of Texas." The Boston Post has given much space to the dis cussion of the objects and proceedings of this Conven tion, which it holds up to the execration of every man who wishes his country well, end warns "ALL PAR TIES, AND ALL SECTS, TO BEWARE orioLLoilit:(o nig MAD COURSE OF THE FEDERAL. AND ABOLITION POLI TICIANS Mid called and governed this extraordinary body." The Post very approptiately terms this Convention a "young Hartford Convention," and says the same sort of men were in bath , LEVERET"; SALTONSTALL, leading whig member of Congress from Massachti setts, advocated the calling of the Hartford Conven tion, in the Legislature of Massachusetts 30 years ago. He then scouted the fears of those who hesita ted at the name of dissolution, and inquired what use thermion had been to New England. This same Salton stall addressed a letter to this Convention; could men who had assembled to nullify the laws of Congress, or dissolve the Union absolutely, have a better advi ser We look upon this movement ns conclusive in its effect on one point, not enumerated nmong'its osten sible objects—it seals forever the political fate of Clay. who, much as he may desire it, cannot be the candi date of these people. We should not Ee surprised if this Convention was the result of a scheme to unite the whigs and abolitionists in the iupport of WEBSTER as the next President. This the authors of the plan may accomplish, but we are not afraid that they will suc ceed, either in electing the "G..nllike" or dissolving the Union. THE NA CURALIZITrON LAWS. -Mr. Berrien's Bill. —The leading features of the bill reported by Mr Mr. Berrien, Chairman of the Committee on the Judic:iary, in the United States Senate, are given in the National Intelligencer. The bill proposes to enact that collectors of the revenue at all the ports of the United States shall keep books of registry, in which any alien arriving in the United States shall be regis• tercd, and a certificate of such registry granted to the said alio i. The clerks of courts in the United States, on presentation of the certificate at least threeyears af ter the registry, may read the declaration of the inten tion of such alien to become permanently a citizen of the United States, and grant him a certificate of such declaration. Two years after the registry, such alien may be ad.nitted to became a citizen of the United States, on certain conditions, the most important of which appear to be— " That he shall have resided one year at least prece ding the application in tho State or District in whizh the court is held. No duplicate of such certificates of citizenship or registry shall be issued, except upon proof in cow t and public advertisement of the loss of the original. Children under sixteen years of age at the time of arrival in the country are nut required to produce certificates of registrx, or of declaration of in- ! tention, if they are proved to have been five yea; res ident and and otherwise entitled. The next provision of the bill is, is no decree of na turalization shall be made, or certificate of naturaliza tion granted within months before the "Ocite of any election of President or Vice President of the U. nitedStstes, cr of the electors thereof, or within— of the time of atiyieneral election in the particular State or District in which the application is made, and such decree and certificate shall confer no right of privilege of citizenship whatever, except in the State or District wherein the same may be granted, for the term of months from dated thereof. Persons now in the United States may at any time within six months after the passage of this bill, a vail themselves of the general provisions of it to be come naturalized without the previous registry requir ed of aliens hereafter arriving in the United States." A SALT RIVER ROARER —One of those two fis ted backwoodsman, half horse, halfalligator, and a lit tle touched with snapping turtle, went lately to see a caravan of wild beasts.

PUBLIC OFFICES AT. Wssitteetotr.—We lilkn I • m the Globe that much complaint is made by the chiefs of Burma le the Departments at Washington, an account of the dilapidated conditiowand inconveni ersceofthe offices inwhich they have totransactbusiness. Their condition is inch that the public illocuments and records are in danger of being lost, er in case of firm: totally destroyed. To show their insecurity, it is I stated that there is not a single fite-prOof apartment occupied by the Bureaus of either the War or Navy I Department. The buildings are so totally inadequate to the wants of the Departments, that much of the business has to be transacted in rooms In private houses, hired at a heavy expense to the Government. The Globe enu- merates the following : 1. Bureau of Engineers and Fortifications, 2. Bureau of Engineers of Topography and Civil Works. 3. Bureau of Quartermaster General. 4. Bureau of Commissary General of Subsistence 5. Bureau of Paymaster General. 6. Bureau of Surgeon General. 7. Bureau of Ordnance and Small Arms. 8. Pension Office. As a specimen of the statements elicited from'the chiefs of bureaus, through the instrumentality of the inquiries directed by Col. Pratt to the Secretaries of the War and Navy Departments, we deem it proper to add a brief synopsis, as follows: Col. Totten states that the building occupied by his bureau is unfit for the purpose—much exposed to sc.. cidents by fire, and old and uncomfortable. Records very valuable, and their loss would be irreparable. Colonel Abert's bureau is in a building unfit, leaky, and damp, with much exposure of valuable documents. "The records and property exposed, under present temporary arrangements," says Colonel Abert, "are extremely valuable; and. if destroyed, could not be re placed io many years, nor without expending many hundred thousand dollars. True economy. there fore, would seem to be essentially involved in the early erection of adequate fire-proof buildings." General Jesup, Quartermaster General, reports that— "Additional rooms are required, not only for the transaction of business, but for the preservation of the plans, returns, and records of the office." Most of the papers," he adds, "ate now kept in a damp basement room, where, it is apprehended, they will be seriously injured, if not destroyed, in the course of a few years." Complaints have been mode by the heads of nearly all the bureaus in the War and Navy Departments of the insecurity of their offices, and they have set forth the urgent necessity for the erection of suitable buildings in which the records of the Departments will be secure. Speaking of these buildings, the Hon. Wm. Wilkins, Secretary of War, remarked that be had "felt con strained to refer, in his late annual report, to the ne cessity of further accommodation fur the bureaus and archives of this department." And he added, in his letter to Col. Pratt, that, "in addition to the very great interruption and inconvenience to the public service, by having the bureaus of this department scaUered and detached from the War Office in private build ings, (the annual expense fur rent for these hired offices being $3,350,) there is still a more important lonsideration—as the hired buildings now occupied contain most important records, maps, plans and models, THE LOSS OF KANT OF WHICH COULD NOT BE REPAIRED." The condition of the War building itself, though "more secure (from being better watch ed) than ordinary brick buildings," is yet defective enough—as even it is not fire-proof. Iris singular that Congress should find any difficulty in discovering a proper object to which they might ap ply, at least, a portion of the surplus revenue while the public tecords remain in such insecure depositories. The irreparable losses occasioned by the burning of the Treasury and Post Office Departments,some years since,should admonish them of the necessity of adopt ing means to guard against similar accidents in the en her Department... ANTI•ANNEXATION MKICTISG.—We attended tbi+ meeting yesterday, to see what our whig friends intend ed to do under the call purporting to come from citi zens of all parties, out which, in reality, was signed by none but leading whigs and abolitionists. When the time for which it was advertised had ar rived, there were but few persons in the Court Room, and the organization was postponed fur nearly an hour longer. At last, Mr John Sheriff, who appeared to *deeply interested, moved that his Honor the Mayor preside. Mr Howard took the Chair, and read the call of the meeting, and then stated that the meeting was ready to hear any remarks or resolutions that any gen• tleman present might choose to make or offer. Thos. Williams, Esq., stated that be had, at the request of some of the anti-Texas men, prepared resolutions, but he would rather not offer them if any other gentleman had nny thing prepared fur the occasion. After dis playing a proper degree of modesty, he was prevailed upon to read his resolutions. They are quite long, and evidently prepared with much labor. The sentiments embodied in them, will not, we apprehend, meet the full approbation of our abolition friends who were in- strumental in calling the meeting, as they recognise slavery as it exists at present in the states, and only express a dread of it when extended by the annex ation of Texas. The resolutions were of course adop ted, and after agreeing to one or two unimportant mo. tions, the meeting adjourned. It was plain to every one present that this meeting was purely a Whig movement. Although the names of abolitionists were used in the call they had no part in the proceedings. The officers were all leading whigs, the motions were all made by whigs, and the usual course of appointing a committee to report reso lutions, was dispensed with, for fear, we suppose, that a Liberty mar. or some other citizen not thoroughly ac quainted with the objects of whiggery, might get upon it. That it was a whig project, and a very uninteresting one at that, seems to have been the general impression among the citizens, as there were but very few attend ed, and with the exception oldie officers and a few oth ers, noneappcared to take any interest in the proceed ings. We will not undertake to say what may bathe feel - ins of the citizens of Pittsburgh on the subject of an nexation, but this we can say, that they cannot be infer red from the proceedings yesterday, as the meeting, in point of numbers, was a failure, and the resolutions were themere sentiments of one Whig loader, adopted by some three or four dozens of the most prominent o f his political associates. THE COLONIZATION SOCIETY held their annual meeting sit Washington, on Tuesday evening, Mr El mer, of New Jersey, of the House of Representatives. presided, assisted by others. Mr McLain, Secretary of the Society, represents the Society in a more flour ishing condition both as to the Colony of Liberia, an d in the progress of opinion at home, as welt as in its finances, than during the proceeding year. The ex penditures of the Saciety, for the past year were $84,- 000; the receipts $32,000. Four shipments of emi grants were made during the past year. Addresses were •made, dor* the evening by Mr Schenck, of Ohio, Rev Mr Carroll of N Y., and ethers. • LETTER /Roll FATHER M*vlgw —Tb• subjoin. ed letter, from the great Apostle of Temperance, will be read with interest by not only the active friends of the temperance cause, but by all who would see man raised from the degradation tillalsitery to appetite, and lifted into that self-respect which can only result from a consciousness of virtuous resolutions, and a virtu ous life. It will be seen that the reverend gentleman still cherishes the hope of visiting this country, from which he was only detained by an unexpected revul sion in his pecuniary 'drabs. The letter is addressed to a Protestant gentleman in Philadelphia, and, as the U S Gazette remarks, will tend to produce the good feelings which it invokes, and prepare an additional and universal welcome for him in his great mission of temperence: "My Dear Priend:—Whilst I acknowledge with gratitude your generous gift. it affects me to be borthen some to Ivry one in the States. before I was privileged to accomplish the dearest wish of my heart—a visit to America. "Your letter is brief but like the Dove returning to the Ark, with the olive branch, it announces that her mony and peace have again established their throne in Philadelphia. May the recent events be forgotten for ever. "The prospect of fo:filing my premise, and of taking by the band my high-minded, self denying friends. in your happy country, consoles and cheers me. As yet I cannot name a time, for the unexpected embarrassments that fell upon me, have deranged all my plans. Last June lau resolved on crossing the Atlantic, but these painful, though then concealed cit.- cumstonces, prevented me. They have accidentally been made public, and, with the munificence of my frieuds, I will soon be free to resume my exertions in the sacred cause of temperance. "The exceeding promptness of your donation for my relief, enhances its value an hundred fold, for it bus reached me before I could think my embarras ments were known in the United States. That God may confer on you all spiritual and temporal happi ness, is the ardent prayer of Yours, greatly and devotedly, THILOBALD MATII&W." ANTI-RENT TROUBLES. An express reached Albany en Thnrsday aftetnoon informing the Governor that Thomas Whittaker, Dep uty Sheriff of Otsego. had been tarred end feathered by the 'lndians.' He had gone to serve declarations on Abraham Harrington and Jacob H. Harlington, of Worcester, in favor of Murray & Ogden, on contract. The contract was a fair business transaction. iTbe Harringtons were found in coutscil with the Indians, at Summit,Scoharie county, ou the 27th ult. Mr. Whittaker, determining to do his duty as be came his station, was, after being provoked and it suited to the last degree, rode on a rail, his head tar red and his boots filled and drawn on, and finally sent away with the injunction that he must never again ap pear within "their dominions" under pain oftleatit. A lettet from Ellicotville, Cattaraugus county, Jan 27, says: "We are in the midstof an Anti•Reut war. On Fri day eveoing last the Sheriff despatched three deputies to "Dutch Hill," lot the purpose of arresting some of the ring-leaders, who attacked the Avila' and his dep uties last June, who were there for the purpose of ex ecuting a writ of possession. The deputies came bock with one prisoner, having captured him after a desperate encounter with some 150 of the gang Col Eldridge, and a detachment of six men went through the settlement a short time after, and found a large collection at the school house, and being ordered to halt, whirh orders he disobeyed, was fired upon with eight rifles. He returned the fire, and came on his way home . Last evening there were probably 600 people in the village. 300 or 400 with arms, ready to act under the Sheriff; at 12 o'clock, last night, about 350, under the command of Gen Huntly, proceeded with the sheriff to the scene of disturbance, leaving about 300, with three pieces of cannon, to protect the jiiil and land offices. The report of a csnnon was heard this morn ing at 6, in the direction of Dutch Hill, probably one the anti•renters have obtained from Cuba. They are strong in numbers on the Hill, and what the result will be l am unuble to say." Demise of Sister Mars Alpkonso.—We regret to record the decease of Sister Mary Alphonse, of St- John's Academy. Frederick, Md, after a lingering ill. ness of several years, in the full triumph of faith, and the lively hope of a blissful immortality. Sister Al phonse was one of those heroic daughters of the Cath olic church, who with a devotion and utter forgetfulness of self, rarely fonnd in the flesh, volunteered their ac tive services dnring that trying period of our city's an nals, memorable by that terrible scourge, the cholera. Sister Alphonso was appointed to the Almshouse of Baltimore city and county, while in ministering to the sufferings of the poor and destitute, she was exposed to influences which st that time very seriously affected her health, and from which she never recovered.— Within the last two years, her disease has assumed a more dangerous character, and finally terminated her existence on Thursday last, in the Baltimore Infirmary while sojourning with the Sisters in charge, on her way home from Philadelphia, where she had been to consult a physician. Sister Mary Alphonse was a daughter of Henry Lilly, E.g., of Frederick county, and a sister of Copt Richard Lilly, of this city. Her given name was Henrietta. She entered the above Institution at the age of 16, in the year 1826. Requi ekcat in pace.—Batt Sun.
