Lotd'e service these twenty years—me bet, nasty, sas

"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,

fact that, in cgasiderat ion of his love and affection for

It was evident to our hero that his father intended
he should remain but one more night beneath the pa

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

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."

HOSPITAL FOR THE Ports Peasons OE COLOR.-
A medical gentleman of New Yotk, Dr Fitch, with a
benevolence that does him great boner, has succeeded
after persevering effort, in establishing a hospital for
this class of sufferers. The Mirror says a piece of
ground has been granted by the Corporation, and a
temporary building erected. Dr Fitch has succeeded

for the grant of a charter to the institution, and wo sin

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.

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
