Backing Out.--The st. Louis Re-
publican of June 25th, contains the
substance of letter from the editor
of that paper, dated on board the
steamer Galveston, opposite Point Isa-
bel, June 9th. The volunteers had n
safe trip, but not n pleasant one, for
almost all were sea-sick during the
whole voyage. They were out of
sight of land iity-four hours. Moth
ing of consequence occurred between
the two ports, but many of the men
were sadly disappointed with the ac-
commodations they received, being
huddled together in very uncomfort-
able manner. A conversation which
was overheard among the men, is,
probably the hest exponent of their
feelings. One Of them remarked.
"Well, | just want to live through this
war 10 get back to st. Louis, and catch
that fellow who persuaded me to en-
list. The rascal was the first one TO
desert" Another observed, 81 ex-
pected TO return a Major or a COL,
at least, but shall be very well salts
fed to get back high private" Such
conversations only serve to show the
feeling which animated the men when |
confined to their dark and wretched 1
quarters on board the Galveston.
When the regiment was inspected
1t New Orleans, they took occasion TO
get rid of several troublesome fellows,
whose name have already been publish
d. They were drummed out ofcamp,
nd it was hoped that a resort to this
rocess would not again be required.

REMARKABLE DISCOVERY.

Not long since we observed in the papers a brie
notice of wonderful chemical discovery very lately
made by Professor Schoubein, of Germany. Com
mon cotton is prepared, probably with fulmi-
mating compound of nitrogen, as to be suddenly
converted by spark into the gaseous state, leaving,
as a residue only small quantity Of carbonaceous
matter. Balls and shells were said to have been
projected by this prepared cotton, the projectile
force of which is said to be many times greater than
that of gunpowder. 1t stated, that four ounces
blew thick wall to pieces--an effect which would
require, it was calculated, at least as many pounds
of gunpowder. 1t was added that the cotton, though
made wet, reacquires its properties on drying. This
is an extraordinary triumph of chemistry, but 1t is
less true than strange A friend, Just from Wash
iEgton, letter from highly intelligent Amerl-
can of standing, now in Frankfort Germany, who
had witnessed the experiments, and certified to the
truth of the account. He states that one of the
German prncpalities had given order for 800 600
bales Of cotton, to be employed in this novel pro
cess of military defence and offence In this age OF
ingenious discoveries everything that leads to free
interchange of products and inventions, is cacu-
lated to advance the mutual wealth and blessings OF
different nations. Were we confined to the "home
Market" what would this important discovery in
Germany avail us' As it is, it may largely increase
the value of our exports Of cotton. We trust that
it may not explode. "-Richnlond Eng

We have had a continuous rain to-day, which il
quite acceptable TO the denzens of the city, bu
doubly so to the tillers Of the soil in the country
roundabout. The water comes down the Falls anG
other streams in great volume. Should the storm
have extended into Pennsylvania and Ohio, il vii
somewhat interfere with the elections to-day
At a meeting Of the Eagle ArtilIeris,s of this city
held last night, il was unanimously resolved that
committee be appointed to proceed forthwith to the

The fall business Of Baltimore still continues
with undated yigor; and the present will probably
be the heaviest week of the In the northern
cities the season is over long ago.
The election for mayor, to take place in this city
tomorrow, will doubtless cause the most thorough
rally Of parties that has taken place since the last
presidential election. Still the result, let il be either
way, will be no criterion OF the strength Of political
parties, unless the majority should be very large,
there always hundreds who are not Influenced by
political considerations in the choice of city officers
clsting their votes for wi oeVer they consider will
make the best officers.
The rain and wind to-day, has had the effect OF
keeping back the train of cars from Philadelphia,
no tidings of the mail due at halfpast 2 O'Clock
having been yet received The rain has also caused
cessation Of Geographic operations, consequently
we are without any ddngs Of the doings in the mar
kets of New York and Philadelphia to-day.
The Baltimore -four market still continues with.

of about 200 Howard street brands, at S., which
