THE GUN-COTTON.

This brilliant discovery has stimulated the curl
osty of scientific men, and produced series of ex-
perimenis in different parts Of the country. w
hear of variety of trials preparations, and results
Nor is the the field of discovery exhausted. The
two elements, of the combustible body and Of oxy-
gen, admit of great variations. Some trying
linen rags, besides cotton and even sawdust though
the experiments made at the arsenal yesterday with
that material were not very successful As to the
material for furnishing the oxygen gas, (the princi
pie of combustion,) nitre is used in Ottos recipe;
but black manganese has been tried by chemist in
the north, and, it is said with great success.
We shall lay before our readers, in our next
number, a communication upon the subject of
Professor Elliott's experiments. A series Of ex-
periments were made at the arsenal in this
city, yesterday, in the presence of several gen.
tlemen, under the auspices Of that scientific officer,
(Capt. Alfred Mordecai,) who has devoted much at
,ention to the subject, and written n work on gum
powder and projectiles.
We were highly gratifed at these experiments
made by the ordnance oficers.at the arsenal. The
gun-coon was tested fully as to its projectile force
for small arms, and partially for cannon. .s q -.
The firing from musket barrel, suspended on
the balistc pendulum, proved that sixty grains Of
wel-preparcd cotton were equal to one hundred and
twenty grains Of the very best gunpowder. The re-
sluum after the discharge was very inconsderable.
After eight discharges from the same gun, there
was scarcely any perceptible heat.
With the 24-pounder, one pound Of gun-eotton
was nearly as strong as three pounds of ordinary
powder; but il did not keep up this proportion; as
the charge was increased, two pounds of cotton
we're about equal to four pounds of powder.
A shell which required several pounds ofpowder
to burst it, was filed with less than two ounces Of
the cotton, and upon being discharged, il exploded
most beautifully.
Butwe hope to have the pleasure Of laying Capt.
Mordecais official report tomorrow evening before
our readers .... ....

FRoM THE PLArNs,-We learn through gentle
man who came down on the Cora, from Fort Leav-
enworh, that few minutes previous to this depar-
ture, two wagoners arrived from the Plains, bear
ing the intelligence that train of wagons from the
fort, and bound for Santa Fe with provisions for the
army, had been attacked by Indians, when about
ten days out, and robbed Of every thing contained
The train consisted Of nineteen wagons, and was
very poorly attended, there being but FIVE guns
among the men who accompanied II. The party,
at the time Of the attack, were enoamped, eating din
ner The Indians, supposed to be Pawneos, sud-
denly made their appearance in their midst, disarm-
ed them, and stripped them Of everything, even to
their clothing. They, however, did not attempt to
shed blood, and after destroying such articles as
they could not carry away, departed. All but two

advance. We could not learn the name of the per.
son who had charge of the train.

We understand that at a meeting Of the Regents
Of the Smithsonian Institution to-day, Professor
Joseph Henry, now Of the College Of New Jersey,
at Princeton, was elected secretary Of the institution
and that the Regents then unanimously approved Of
the election and invited Professor Henry 10 accent
the post OF secretary. The distinguished scientific at
tsinments OF this gentleman are known 10 every
American who has followed the progress of science
among us. The following letter from one Of the most
distinguished Of the British philosophers, (Sr David
Brswster atssts the feeling in reference to Profess
sor Henry in Europe; "".....
"Sr. LEoNARp's COLLEGE, Sr. ANDREWS,
October 24th, 1886.
"Haying learned that the Regents of the Smi,hso-
man Institution are about 10 eleeta secretary have
taken the liberty Of recommending my friend, Pro-
lessor Henry, for that Office. r'....
Ills nigh capacity for original inquiry and his
varied talents, fit him ia pre-emnent degree for
conducting the business Of an institution whose
leading object is TO increase knowledge, while his
habits Of business, his amable temper and his ex-
tensye acquaintance with men of science in the Old
World, qualify him equally for promoting the difu-
sion OF knowledge among his countrymen.
"Having had the advantage of personal acauaint-
ance with Professor Henry we'll as Of correspond
ing with him. and having derived much instruction
from has writings, trust the Regents Of the instu-
ton will not consider il presumptuous in foreign
er, who has always been an admirer of the men and
institutions Of America, offering an opinion in favor
OF ono OF their own countrymen.
"DAVrD BREWSTER, d. C. L.,
SIC, &C., &c"
We hope that Professor Henry may be induced
to accept the invitation thus rendered, and which
alike honorable to the professor and the Regents.
