EXPERIMENTS NTH Gun CorToN. The
Union, noticing a series ofcxpcrments, made
at the arsenal, in that city, on Wednesday, by
Capt Alfred Mordecai, in the presence of seve-
raj gentlemen, says:
We were highly gratifed at these expert
,nents, made by the ordnance officers at the ar
-senal The gun-cotton was tested fully as to
lis projectlls force for small arms, and partially
FOR cannon.
The firing from a musket barrel, suspended
on the balisiic pendulum, proved that sixty
grains Of welLprepared cotton were equal to
one hundred and twenty grains of the very best
gunPewder. The resduum after the discharge
was very inconsiGerable. After eight dischar-
ses from the same gun, there was scarcely any
pcrceptibIo heat.
With the 24-peunder, one pound of gun cot
ton was nearly as strong as three pounds of or
binary powder; but 1t did not keep up this pro-
portion; as the charge was increased, two
pounds Of cotton were about equal TO four
poands of powder,
A shell which required several pounds of
powder to burst it, was filled with less than
two ounces Of cotton, and upon being dscharg-
ed, it exploded most beautifully
