COLTS SUBMARINE FoRTIFlCATIoN.


We learn that Mr.. Colt will be ready, in a
few days, to test the practical utility Of his Sub
marine Battery. The scene of exhibition will
be in the East Branch Of The Potomac river, be-
low the Washington Navy Yard. A series Of
Submarine experiments have been made by
direction of Congress- under the supervision of
the Secretary Of the Navy, and all that has been
required has been accomplished, excepting the
destruction of a vessel while in motion the ac-
complishment Of which, is now about TO be I'M
dertaken by Mr.. Colt, in the effort to blow up a
ship of some 500 tons TO be employed for that
purpose.
On the day Of the experiment the ship is TO
be gotten under way with full press Of canvass,
and left to her fate, with her head directed to-
wards the Navy Yard. Mr.. Colt will be in a
position beyond the reach of her shot (suppo
sing her to be an enemy with hostile intent
and blow her sky high before her projectiles can
take effect that is If he can.

MR.. VAN buren, VS.. LAMENTATIONS
The official organ of the Van Buren, party in
Michigan, the Detroit Daily Free Press, having
at its head the name OF Mr.. Van Buren, for
President, contains the whole of the correspon-
dence of our Government with the Texan Min
lister, in 1897, declining the annexation"
The editor preiaces the publication of the
dispatches with the following remarks:
ANNEXATION OF TExAs.-We publish in an
other column the correspondence which took
place during Mr. Van Buren's wise and excel
lent administration, upon an application of the
authorities Of Texas for the annexation Of that
Republic to the United States. We hope our
democratic friends, after reading it themselves,
will pass it round among their wing and aboli-
ton ueghbors, who combined to put down Mr..
Van Bren's administration and bring the pre-
sent anti-Van Buren, administration into its
place The relations between the United
States, Mexico, and Texas are the same now
that they were in 1897, when this correspond
ence was had, and there is no reason to doubt
that Mr.. Van Buren, and his friends now stand
where they did then on the subject Of Annex
