EXPLODING COTTON.

This newly invented explosive, The discovery
ofwhich is claimed by several SauanS of Europe,
is attracting much attention just now.
Prof. Quo, of Brunswick, Germany, one Of
the claimants for the honor Of having invented
the explosive, gives the following directions for
making the preparation
For making exploding cotton the common well
cleaned staple must be dipped in highly concen-
trated acid of saItpetre (the acid which | use is
made by distIing ten parts dried saltpetre, and
six paris oil of vitrol or suphuric acid) then it
put into fresh water, which is often changed, and
care must be taken 10 loosen thoroughly the cot
ton, which, from the process becomes mated;
after which, it must be we'll dried. Thus the
exploding article is in state of preparation for
the gun-barrel.
Prof. o. then adds:
The effects of this article astonishes every
body who witnesses them. The smallest guam
tty expodes with the quickness of Illuminating
quicksilver powder, ifstruck with hammer on
an anvil. If put into a gun, smaller quantity
in weight will do as much execution as gunpow-
der. It's used precisely in the same manner as
gunpowder-a piece of paper being necessary
between it and the ball or shot, as in ordinary
firing. The ignition is always certain from the
explosion of a percussion cap.-Herald Of Free

the force consists Of the cutter Forward, schoon-

tured from the MeXlcans, and was formerly the
American schooner Belle, out of your port. She
now mounts four forty-two canonades.

IMPROVEMENTS OF THE WESTERN
STREAMS AND HARBORS.

We are glade to find this subject taken up by
90 respectable and influential a body as the
Chamber of Commerce of this city. And it
pleases US none the less, that the movement here
is in response TO one made some time ago in ST.
Louis, Buffalo, and we believe Cleveland, re-
sponded several weeks since. The next word,
we hope, will come from Pittsburgh, and Louis
vile, and after they speak it will give US plea
sure to hear from the smaller cities and towns
interested in the important subject. United ac-
tion may accomplish what separate action, re-
peatedly made, has entirely failed to effect. This
point in the West has spoken, and then that
point, and then some other point has caught up
the word and given faint echo. And this done,
q word or two has been spoken at Washington
City for US, and niggardly appropriation made,
deemed "suffcient for the day." and then the
subject has passed, and the destruction of our
properly recommended. And this is the way
we have gone on, till the present time. NOtC
something better seems TO be approaching. The
movement at this time making, contemplates a
Convention of Delegates from all the Western
States, to meet in the city Of ST. Louis in May
next, for the purpose of considering the naviga.

cies Of our harbors, the dangers Of our properly

The failure of the crops in Europe-unprece-
