The New York Herald has the follow
ing sanguine anticipaIions of the conse-
quences of the discovery of The new won
der, Explosive Cotton:


The preparation Of this gun cotton is so
simple that the material in its explosive
state will cost much less than gun powder.
II possesses so many advantages over the
latter. that il must come into universal use
Not being liable 10 injury from a damp or
other extraueous causes. Giving out, 10
combustion, neither smoke nor odor it will
be great deal better adapted 10 the uses
10 which gunpowder is a; present applied.
The frequent discharge of artillery and
muskctry in battle will not he attended, in
The use of this new explosive, with the in.
convenience hitherto experienced from The
smoke which, as in the battle of Resaca
de la Palma, often conceals the hostile
armies from each others view, and i'm
pedes the necessary operation. In blast
ing rocks, too, it can be used with greater
facility and 10 more advantages than gun
powder.


Such and so many being the advantages
of The new explosive, it must in very
short period supersede gunpowder altogc-
ther; this will turn the attention of The en-.
tire world TO our cotton growing States. -
Our southern States can grow cotton sulli.
cient TO supply any demand, however
large. The value of property in The SoutI
will increase 10 an immense extent. The
vast prairies of Texas will soon be-
come cotton fields; for Texas produces cot
ton equal in fneness of fibre, TO any olhe
State; and our country will become, ever
in greater degree than heretofore, the
mart of the world, as we'll in that com
modify which destroys life, as in that which
6uslains il.
