The NEW YORK ProTs.-A few weeks since,
the pilots OF the city Of New York, in anticipation
of the difficulties with Mexico, made an offer to
the government of their boats and men, to be
used In such manner as the war department
should think best.
To this patriotic offer Of the New York pilots,
the Hon. w. l.. Marcy, Secretary of War, has re-
turned the following reply:-
Wan DEPARTMENT, June !, 1886
GENTLEMEN The President has referred to this De.
parment your letter to him. offering the services Of
oher which is duly appreciated the President desires
your acceptance Of his cordial thanks though there
no necessity at present for its acceptance II viii not
be forgotten should such necessity arise.
Very respectfully your obedt. serv't
w. L. MARCY, Secretary Of War
Jas. Burger, Esq, and others, pilots Of New York
city Of New York.
The New York pilot boats, thirteen in number,
are remarkable for their fast sailing and easy
management, and are commanded and manned
by men who have been born and bred in the
business. These boats would be very useful in
sailing around the Mexican ports and harbors,
and cutting out privateers under the very muzzles
OF the Mexican batteries. They are such fast
sailers that even the steamers can hardly beat
them. They would also be exceedingly useful in
running up the shallow Mexican rivers where
larger ships could not 60
In great variety of ways would these pilot
boats be useful and, commanded by the patriotic
New York pilots, would do great service in their
country's cause.

WAR WITH AMERICA,

The venerable Quincy Adams-with one
foot in the grave, stamps the other on the
floor Of the Senate, and cries out for war!
" Who'd have thought the old man had so
much blood in him?" The morals, too, of
the old man are rather more curious than ele-
waited. lie advises that Oregon should first
be seized by the Americans, and then be ne
gotiated for: at which touch of true transnt-
lantic humor there was much laughter."-
We have no doubt that merriment akin to this
has shaken the walls Of many a " fence."-
We can understand that the fellows who stole
the gold-dust may haze loosely said to them
selves, well first MIN the swag,' 1--WE be-
lleve such to be the words, ifnot, let Ainsworth
correct u.s. and then we can negotiate !"
Mr.. Adams continued, "That is the mill
tary way Of doing business :" at which there
was Increased merriment." Jocose law
makers! Wise Mr.. Adams! Morals-com-
mon honesty-the decencies of civilized in
tercourse- are to be forgotten, set aside as
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to the ambition of
the young republic that was to teach a lesson
(Huw has she Numbered at it-how misera-
bly, mis-speltD to the nations. "The mill
tary way!" Here is an old man-one who
has certainly won the respect and admiration
OF the world IN by-gone years, casting of his
fair reputation as a staiesman-' like a wrost-
ler's g~arland"-and propounding the doc
trines of a brigand. 1.-THE military way ="
Yes; bullets for words; cold steel for calm
discussion. The bully Might bestriding and
insulting feeble Right.
And then Mr.. Adams told a story of Frede-
rick the Great. How that the said Frederick
in the military way" seized upon an
Austrian province. The highwayman way
and the military way very often differ only
In this. In one case it is only one man who
presents a pistol, in the other it is twenty
thousand, with muskets. If the one man be
taken, he is a villain, and is hanged If the
twenty thousand are victorious, they are he
roes, and with faces "just like the harlotry
players" go to Church and perform re Deum.
The way Of the great Frederick, as quoted
by Mr.. Adams, was wholly of this complex
ion. Had the achievement been lesseDed to
a solitary act, committed by a solitary man,
the act and the man might have been duly
chTonicled in every Neurgate Calender. And
has age taught Mr.. Adams no better wisdom !
Can his gray hairs bequeath nothing better
to humanity than war-wicked, foolish war?
Will he lie more calmly in the earth because
drenched with blood ? We pity him; we
mourn for him for he has disappointed Us.
America, however, like England, has her
political mountebanks-made, in the bounty
Of nature, only to be laughed at. OF these is
the Honorable--(how these republicans, sor-
ry are we to say it, sniff about the edge of a
title)-the Honorable Felix G. Mcconnell.
He moved "the adoption of resolutions for
the annexation Of Ireland !" What modesty
what more than American shamefacedness
When you hare Ireland, as you're so near to
us, why not "annex" England too?

TAVERNS AND THE ANCIENT
NAIDENSES.

The following graphic description Of a
dr~inking-tavern or groggery, is in the viii.
Art. of the vii. Part of the Confession of the
Old Waldenses and Albigenses, composed,
at least as far back as the year 1920, or 72O
years ago: before the time of Peter Waldo,
and 400 years before the Reformation. 1t is
a useful curiosity
"ErceSseS and disorders 1chich are common
Ly committed in taperns.-A tavern is the foun-
tain Of sin, the school of the devil it works
wonders fitting the place. 1t is the manner
of God to show his power in the church, and
to work miracles, that is to say, to give sight
to the blind, TO make the lame go, the dumb
to speak, the deaf to hear; but the devil doth
quite contrary to all this in a tavern for whe
a drunkard goeth to a tavern, he goeth up
rightly, but when he cometh forth, he cannot
go at all, and he hath lost his sight, his hear
ing and speech. The lectures that are read
in the school of the devil are, gluttonies,
oaths, periuries, lyings and blasphemies, and
divers other villanies for in a tavern are
q%uarrels, ISLANDERS, contentious, murders"
Verify, there is nothing new under the
sun. These ancient Witnessing brethren use
words very little softer, to say the least, about
grog-shops, than we do in these, last times.
We will give some quotations hereafter from
this Confession, on the subject Of dancing.
