United states on6 N,ytcO,

The Washington Union of Thursday evening.
in publishing the late foreign news, takes occa-
sion to correct some ofthe misapprchensions of
the London Times as to the want of preparation
in the United States, for war, which the Times
considers a good opportunity for Mexico TO take
advantage of in order to prevent annexation. Ii
is amusing 10 read these diatribes of the London
papers, and see how little they know ofthe spi-
rit, enthusiasm and unanimity of the American
people when war is talked of They have no i,
dea that in the United States, every man is
soldier and that every man would be found bat
Ting for his country and his fresde. The Times
lays great stress upon the fact that we have but
5000 troops N the standing army No, one of
these men can be spared from the garrisons on
the coast, and of course we should not have a
single soldier to send TO Mexico Where. then.
il asks are we to obtain the twenty or twenty
five III msand men which would be necessary to
march TO Mexico The answer is furnished by
the Union, says the Ledger, and it is worthy of
the consideration of those who profess 10 be
friends of Mexico and do not wish to the
whole of that beautiful country annexed" TO
the U. States II is as follows -
Let not the London Times first blind'y de-.
ceive itself and then deceive the Mcxicans. We
should not want twenty y.fve, OF even twenty
thousand men, but ten thousand men would be
sufficient; and such gallant and enterprisng spi
rits as the teeming Valley Of the Mississippi
could send forth, in less than three months,
would be usifcent 10 overrun the whole coun-
! try. What ! not men enough Why, let the
| United States but sound her clarion and display
her flag upon the banks of the Mississippi-let
her but say TO this man, Go 10 the capital OF
Mexioo,' and to these men, Go with your wives
and children 10 the region of Santa Fe,' and tc
another, March with your neighbors 10 the de-
lcious banks of the Colorado, of California, and
they will not only have volunteers enough TO an
swer 10 the call, but more than enough The
difficulty will be in keeping men back not IL
sending men forward. Does England really de-
sire, by thus flaming the fame into Mexican
war, TO see MS take California aud not only
take il, but keep il A worse than Egyptian
darkness has come over her land, if she is rulec
by snch infatuated connsels as this oracle ofth,

from Hamburg, dated April lith, says as,

c. CooKIxG FGGs.--Every body thinks they
know how to cook eggs, and yet there few
who cook them property. And as editors are
supposed TO know little of every thing, they
would probably confer greater benefits by dis
cussiug matters belonging to the kitchen proper.
than those ofthc kitchen cabinet Miss Leslie,
who has paid more attention TO writing tales
than to cooking, has published book upon cook
cry. which contains number ofrecipes that are
neither new or useful. Her mode of cooking
eggs is 10 let them remain just three minutes in
boiling water.
Now, to boil eggs as they should be, put them
into hot or boiling water, and as soon as the wa,
ter commences boiling they should be taken of
the fire and let stand Just five minutes. The
philosophy of this mode is, that the yolk will
( have time to cook before the white becomes toe
! hard Poached eggs should be cooked on the
same principle They should be put into hot
| not boiling water, which hardens the white be-
fore the yolk is properly cooked. Then take
them on: aud season with butter, pepper and salt
| TO suit the taste.
