IN, and we have taken some pains 10 coHphe 'ne
interesting portion of the intelligence for our
readers. These details given on the outside
of this days Herald
The Emeute between MIR. Wise and the
Brazilian Government.
We Published yesterday an account OF an
emeute reported to have taken place between
the Hon. Henry A. Wise, the American Minister,
and the Brazilian Government, in relation to the
imprisonment of an American sailor, and the
arrest of one of our navy officers; which in the
absence Of authentic and official information, pre-
sents a bad omen for continuance of the AMIGA
BILE relations that have So long existed between
the two countries.
We are inclined 10 think, however, that the ac-
counts of this unpl sasant, and deeply to be la
mented affair, very much exaggerated in the
newspapers, from the fact that they state that a
resolution was offered in the upper house Of the
Brazilian parliament, 10 expell Commodore Ros-
seau from the coast of Brazil in SIX hours where
il passed, but that it vetoed IN the other
house whereas the Brazilian Parliament, as 1t is
here allied, was not in session at the time when
this ution is reported to have been offered.
This is amply sufficient to deprive these reports
OF their worst features; and when we take other
matters into consideration, we arrive at the
conclusion that the unpleasant affair amounts
o but very little, and can be settled by nego,a-
ton in manner satisfactory and honorable 10
both countries.
These matters are, first, the sympathy that
exists between Brazil and the United States
and the respect and confidence with which
that country has invariably regarded the
United States; and, second, the fact that the
present minister of Foreign Affairs or Sc
cretary OF State, has held position in the foreign
department for period OF thirty years. and is
the last man in the world to bring his coun-
try into fiji ulty with any foreign oower Dur
ing this oug time of public service he has earn.
oil character for mode ration, sagacity, and
farsghted craftsmanship, that entities him 10
the confidence of his countrymen as well as of
foreigners
We are inclined to believe FROM these fac s, that
the official account OF the matter will put it in
more agreeable light.
Apart from the question of right and wrong, we
would sincerely regret any interruption Of good
feeling between Brazil and the United States, on
the score of policy. There has existed for years
past bond OF union, as strong as bond can be
between kingdom and republic, between us,
which has been drawn tighter and closer, by The

VALUE OF GUN CorroN TO THE UNITED STATES
we perceive by an advertisement in TO days
ierdid, that Messrs. G. & F. Lennig, of Philade
phia, have purchased OF Professor Schoenborne e,
the inventor OF gun cotton, the exclusive right to
manufacture that article in the United States,
and that they will be prepared to fill all ordc rs
by the middle of February next
We are informed that this enterprisny house
will conduct this new branch of their business on
most extensive scale, and will commence i, with
the determination producing an article that for
cheaPness, explosive power, and cleanliness
will be in every respect superior 10 gunpowder
and will take the place of that article in our arrny
and navy, as well as among contractors on rail
roads, and sportsmen
The article prepared by Professor schoenborne
is very different from any that has been made in
this country thus far. What has been manufac-
hara
explosive cotton-the other is real gun cotton, nd
not liable to the insurmountable objections that
have been raised against the common explosive
cottoa.
1t s a remarkable fact that all the inventions in
science, arts, and mechanics, that have been
made within few years, have had tendency
directly TO benefit the United States more tn. n
any other country. The large extent OF our vast
country, together with our immense INLAND seas
and navigabe rivers enabled us to profit more
by steam and electricity than any other country
This last one OF gun cotton although the be me fit

those arising from the others, will vet be

have made a computation OF the quantity
of cotton they will probably consume in
the manufacture, to supply the demand OF
the United States, set it do xn at two hund re- d
and fifty thousand bal annually, which would
give great impetus to cotton planting in the
southern States. The increased demand for this
staple from Europe will not probably he so great

thousand bales; making, in all, an increased de-

sand bales, in the course Of few years. This
will 10 on increasing through all time.
Although the estimate OF the demand for cotton
for supplying the United States with this new ex
plosve material seems large at first sight, we dc
n, think 1t unreasonable. There is vast amount

and canals, in blasting rocks; and we know that
an immense amount is used in sporting.
