LETTER FROM THE Pilots or NEW yorK.
NEW YORK, Feb, Z 1870,
JAMES GORDON BENNETT, ESQ -
SIR-The undersigned Sandy Hook pilots In view
OF the kindly consideration which prompted YOU TO
the publication OF the article upon the organi-
zatlOn, workings and extent OF our business as
appeared in the HERALD OF Friday last, giving us
thereby the beneht OF such an admirable exposition
and also Tor past evidences OF your esteem. desire
most heartily to thank you, and to you that
these fav0rs are duly appreciated.
We are very respectfully. your obedient servants,
On behalf OF the New York ana Sandy Hook Pilots.
DANIEL c. CHAPMAN
On behalf OF the New Jersey Pilots.
As according to the old axiom ''good wine
needs no bush," SO the pilots Of New York
can receive no more than praise well due them,
let it come from what quarter it may. For
over thirty years the HERALD has been the
willing endorser of the claims Of the hardy
pilots Of the port. They risk their lives and
their property to preserve the lives and pro-
perty Of others. They 60 from our shores
from five hundred to thousand miles for the
purpose of showing the way for an inward
bound ship to enter our beautiful bay
and into our eminently ''snug harbor."
In view Of the interests of this deserving class
of enterprising men, whose income from
pilotage has been considerably reduced since
the Introduction go largely of steam into our
foreign commerce, we hold it TO bo small
potato business for our merchants to attempt
to reduce the amount of fees well earned by
our pilots for their perilous ventures. These
merchants-we hope the insurance under
writers are not included in the class-seem to
forget the danger our pilots run, not from the
accidents liable to all who ego down to the
sea in ships" but from their liability to con-
tract diseases by boarding vessels upon which
contagious diseases, like the yellow fever,
smallpox or ship fever may prevail. Taken
altogether, while thanking our friends, the
pilots, for their complimentary notice of our
selves, we repeat that whatever we may have
said in their behalf has sprung entirely from
an appreciation Of their high merits, and with
o sincere desire to aid them in the future as
we have endeayored to do in the past.

THE INSURANCE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
held session with closed doors yesterday
afternoon, took some testimony and adjourned
sine dse, going of to Albany Immediately.
The newspapers, who have been giving the
investigation q rather severe overhaulIng,
evidently frightened them of, and they had no
time to run up bill for theatres, wine suppers
expenses. It is probably as cheap COM
mittee, as far as the people in general are
concerned, as we have had for long time.

BRAzMs Lrr.rrR GAME. Brazil is showing
her hand, and before this her allies In the
Paraguayan war no doubt have realized
the real part they played in their operations
against Lopez. The latest news we have
from South America tells us Of movement
on the part of Brazil to establish q military
station at Higueritas, post in the Uru-
guayan republic. A pretext is given for this
proceeding, but statesmen are never wanting
in pretexts to sustain their measures. If the
news proves true 1t may lead to grave CON
sequences. We suggest that Secretary Fish
should inquire into tho matter.

THE COMING CENSUS. sit is probable from
the discussion in the Senate yesterday on the
Census bill that the matter will be arranged so
that the census Of 1870 win be taken under

REyEIs.-The democrats in the Senate. it
appears, are not averse to the admission of the
colored Senator from Mississippi except ON
grounds Of ineligibility, but many Of tho
radical members are opposed to him on the
ground Of alleged previous immortality. IL
ought to be sufficient to oust Senators already
in, and would be likely to make pretty clean

War Notes.


The Prussian Moniteur, an official ORGAN
published at Berlin, contains two notes from
Bismarck to the amba ssadors OF neutral DOW
ers to the North German Confederation in re-
latlon to the propositions for peace now under
consideration. The first was dated Sept. 49,
and urged the necessity for better and more
material guarantees against the new attack O
France and especially upon the state of NORTH
Germany, Bavaria, tembourg and Baden
hence the reed on the part of the government
Of Germany OF possessing those fortresse;
which are now perpetual menace.
In second note Bismarck repudiates all
idea of German Intervention for the reorgani-
zacion of France but says if Strasbourg aud
Metz remain in French hands the offensive oil
France overpowers the defensive of Germany.
These material guarantees alone will give peace
while France retaining these places will al
ways consider them as enabling her to choose
her own time for a renewal of hostiities Ger
many asks only passive strength to resist such
attack.
The aspect of the streets in Paris changes
wonderfully from day to day. Fewer people
are in them, more shops closed, moro soldier s
are out and fewer women. People grow SOL
emn. At 10 p. M, cafes are vigorously closed
and by eleven the b0ulevards are deserted
Ambulances with wounded souldiers are con-
tinually passing and we hear grim rumors of
houses and whole streets being mined ready to
send assailing Prussians into the air. Car

lie that this is the English Embassy All the
foreign embassies have flags flying and every
foreign resident in Paris hangs out the flag of
his nation The number of flags with the stars
and str;rrs that met the eye in every street
gives vivid idea of the regard in which the
capital is held by Americans. The English
flags are much fewer. The red cross flags of
quent. If any one sets up a private ambu-
lance in his house, that is, aIots one or two beds
tothe wounded. he may hang out the red cross
flag. Among all the flags the American is the
favorte and Mr.. Washburne is the most popu-
lar.man in Paris.

SIDING.
The first assigned c,ses-Locke VS.. Mliken, Nos.
113 and 227 not being ready, No. 1856, Ephram E.
Folsom VS.. Darius Davis, was commenced before
struck jary. This action for alleged assault
committed plaintiff by defendant at Newfed,
where both parties reside, Feb H. 1862 from the eff
tects whereof Folsom says he is still suffering and
claims to be damaged In smind, body and estate to
had offered him half that gum the cause would never
have occupied the time and attention of the Court
and jury. The row originated from some conflict of
opinion which arose between them to the cause Of
the disappearance of plaintiffs shirt. Defendant
says he shook the plaintiff only in order to shake
the meaning of certain ambiguous Tor unambiguous)
expressions used concerning the matter, and as a
proper and lawful method of repelling the assault
upon his character. Plaintiff did not receive this ex-
PLANTATION in a friendly spirit, and SAYS defendant
kicked, beat bruised, ETC., ETC., through all the
Pathological verbage usual in such cases. but he puts
the emphasis on the kicking, which, he says, inter-
fered with the harmonious working of his digestive
organs. 1t was in the winter time, aud defendant
wore very heavy boots. The defendant according to
Fairbanks, wouldn't avoirdupois more than half as
much as plaintiff but we have high and venerable
authority for the statement that the race is not al
ways to the swift the battle to 10 strong, and
this fight was another illustration of its truth. Case
still rendiag.
