From the National Intenigencer Feb. 14sh.
Communication with the North and

Travel between Baltimore and Philadelphia
may now be considered as partially resumed,
the Susquehanna being again bridged with
gorged ice, with strong probability Of the ice
remaining unbroken for some weeks to come
The Baltimore Patriot of last evening says:
"The steam ferry>boat belonging to the rails
road company still remains about midway in
the river, completely hemmed in by ice and
unable TO make one way or the other. All
those who were on board have left her except
the hands and officers. She is well supplied
with coal and other requisites, and not consi-
dered in danger, being of powerful dimensions
and able to withstand, the pressure. Conven-
lent communication is had with her by cross
ing on the ice.
"a large number Of men have been employ
ed by the railroad company to carry baggage,
&c. across the river The ice was cut, leveled,
aud planks laid on it from one shore 10 the
other, thus forming a safe and tolerably con-
venient footwsy for passengers TO cross, by
which means travel is again resumed on this
route, Preparations are making to lay down,
as was doGe some winters ago, railway track
on the ice, which, if necessity requires will
soon be completed. If, however, the weather
assumes more mildness, as is at present indica-
ted, the ice will probably pass off in few
days, rendering the railroad track unneces'
sary."
All the Northern back mails, excepting the
latest due last night have come through.

the duties of his office. The good order and

Gun Cotton In rifles and Shot Guns.

In letter received from Gilbert Smith, of
Buttermilk Falls, Orange county, n. Y, he
asked for an explanation of the fact, that q
larger charge of gun cotton can be employed
in light fowling piece than in a rifle2 He
says: II had occasion few years since to
make some experiments with gun cotton, in
the course of which had splendid cast steel
rifle destroyed. The lock, stock and barrel
were made a complete wreck with only II
grains of gun cotton. The barrel weighed
twelve pounds, and it had been fired hundreds
of times with from so to 100 grains of the
best rife powder" He knows of two instan,
ces in which rifles have burst with charges of
gun cotton, which could be fred without burst
ing fowling piece.
The reason of this destructive action of gun,
cotton on rifles is owning to its very quick
almost gnition, and the great
resistance of the ball. The shot in fowling
piece is easily started; it offers less resistance
to the action of the sudden expansion of the
gun cotton into gas, than The rifle ball. Fine
glnpOwder is more safe and much better for
shooting with smooth bored firearms than
with rifles, because the groovesin the rifle twist
the ball round on its axis, and cause great re-
sistance to the expansive force of the powder.
Coarse powder should therefore always be used
in long barrelled rifle, while short rife
shogld have heavier barrel, and finer powder
should be used in it. The velocity of balls
discharged by rifles is much less than those
from muskets, and it appears to US that could
q spinning motion, on its long axis, be given to
a ball discharged from a smooth boored fire.
