RIM OF THE MANuFAcruREs.-Are the

RuIN OF THE MANUFACTURER Are the
manufactures determined to make good Mr.
Claws prediction of embarrassment and
distress, by building new mills all over
the country, AMI running each other thro'
the effect of competition We hear of
nothing but new factories, new loundries,
new forges, new dams built across streams
which but lately rushed down our declivi-
ties without any restraint. The makers
oil machinery are oppressed with orders.
We have Just found the following para
graph in an exchange paper
"The Blossom Opening .-That sp!en.
did water power at Harper's Ferry, the
best, probably, in this country next TO Nj
agra Fails, is beginning to be brought into
use. A large cotton factory, one hundred
by forty-ive feet in the clear, and four sto-
rles in height, is now putting up, under
the superintendent of Mr.. Giddlngs, for
company with a capital of forty thou
sand dollars. The machinery is building
by Danforth, of Patterson, N. j. Sooner
or later that splendid water power must
come into use for general manufacturing -"
We explain this haste of the manutac-
turers to rush into new enterprises, by the
fact that they suppose the present tariff TO
be a final settlement of the quarrel con
corning high duties. They have delayed
makeing their investments, and building
their mills, until the controversy was de-
cided and as there seems fair prospect
of manufacturing under the new tariff
with reasonable profit, they engage in the
business with activity and spirit.
We do not suppose that these men are
candidates for Bedlam. 1t is not to be
imagined that they have all neglected to
inquire what will be the cost OF erecting
their establishments, procuring their work
men, and what prices they may fairly eX
pect their goods will bring in market, IN
der the new system of duties. They
hare examined into these things +; capital
lists never venture their money wlthou
such an examination. They find TIT
prospect such as to justify large invest
ments and enterprises demanding grea
OUTLAWS, and they enter upon them with
out hesitation or delay.
The result will be to raise the wages
the workmen in The mills. This is an eli
feet which we expected from the new ia
riff. though we thought it would rathe
arise from the necessity under which tht
mill owners would find themselves to man
ufaclure more largely, than from any
considerable increase in the value OF TN
mills

GuN CoTroN.-A parcel of this curl

A. d. Chaloner, of Philadelphia, which
is beautiful in its appearance, tears with
harsh sound, and can be hammered on an

One grain and a half, by weigh, is equal
to three grains, by weight, OF ordinary

BarZelius) two parts by measure, ana one
part by measure of strong sulphunlc acid,
(oil of vitrol,) and mix the acids together,
in wide or open vessels In current oil

vapors given off. Then place some clean
cotton; free from greese, and picked into
small flocks, in another G lass vessel ana
pour upon the cotton the mixed acids, stir

the mass from becoming gelailnous-

Place the mass of wet cotton between two
glass plates, press out the water, and then
dry carefully.
If these precaution are used, the gun
cotton will be found to be highly explosive
on the application of fire, but not by per
cussion. The nature of the chemica

think the cotton plays the part Of base

The opposition have repeatedly charged
that Mr.. Polk has shown partallty In his
appointment of officers in the war, and
excluded the wings from all high com
mand. The facts give the flltest contra
dctIon TO this reckless charge; and we
believe that nearly all the complaints,
confusion and lack of harmony that have
been ev;nced in the various operations
have grown out of the fact that Mr.. Polk
has not given the chief direction to men
who could act in good faith and harmoni-
ous!y with his administration, bat to men
who in few cases have suffered their par
tizan spirit to make them more anxious to
criminate and weaken the administration
than TO serve their country and obey IN
rood faith the wishes of their government.
Who was appointed to the command of
the Army of Occupation in Texas! Gen.
Taylor, wing.
4 Who. when he had thrown his reslgna-
ton in the face of the administration, was
restored fully without word to his high
nosltion? Gen. Worth, another whig.
Who was offered the command IN chelt,
and after "hastily'' refusing was again Of
fcred it, and is now in the highest military
Office at the gift of the President? Gen.
Scott, another whig.
Who was given the expedition to Santa
Fe? Gen KearEey, another whIg.'
4 Who that TO Chihuahua? Gen. Wool
e another.
Who in the Navy has been entrusted
with the chief direction in the Gulf? Com
}. modore Conner, wing.
Who in the Pacific? Commodore Stock
ton, another wing.
= And so we might go on 70 enumerat
appointments to the highest post and com
" mands which contradict to the whole worl'
r the charge so repeatedly made that Nj
:. Polk has excluded wings from all the hig
- offices in the war The truth and tn
:, misfortune is that the high commands hav
= been given almost exclusively to wings
" and this departure from true executlV
policy has resulted, that some of his of
GERS under him, instead of acting in col
he cert with the President TO carry out
Nv exertions TO close the war, are schema
more to break down his administration b
an frustrating him as much as is in their pow
of er, and stirring up complaints against hi

posite ends of an axis of the globe-(or,

were in the seraglin on the Bosphorus with

the nresent Alcalde of California Monte
rev: or, once more, the Chaplain of one of
the lrigates with which we had the happi-
ness to cruise one summer between Sicily
and the Black Sea, and went with US, we
remember, when Commodore Patterson
took his officers on visit to the Sultan's
seragllo, is now the Alcalde elected by
the Californians, and We see is as compos-
edly exercising the supreme function as is
the Sultan himseli'-the two being, as it
were, The antipoda knobs of jurisdiction,
upon the axis thrust through the globe from

the time in a wing of the seragllo, which
was shut of course from intrusion, but he
would have given a strong putt from his
pipe if one OF his deVlseS could have read

the yisiters under his roof was one day
to exercise authority. Having thus 'put
