 This afternoon, expesiments were made m the office of the Secretary of War with a quantity of prepared eettoH, brought by Mr. Robertson, our present Consul 10 Bremen, for the express purpose of securing patent for the inventors, Messrs. Scsrnbein & Bott- ger

 The whole Cabinet--she President, Gen. Scott, Col, Totten, and Q variety of tlistia- guishcd gentlemen were present, and the ex- Periments succeeded beyond the most san guine expectation. s.--.z-

 fhc prepared cotsoa ignisss more readily than powder, and its combustion is more per- feet. 4 bail was fired with il from a com. mon musket from the window of the War Department against the wall of the Navy De pertinent, with immense force; an excavation of nearly ihe depth ,of an inch being produced in the wall, and the bali being completely Hattcnesl.

 The day after tomorrow, the expansive faculty of the prepared cotton will be tried al the arsenal with the muske, pendulum. It will undoubtedly succeed, as similar experi- menls have succ' eded with it in Germany, Switzerland, and England.

 Prepared cotton IS nothing else than gum powder in purer state and a more accepta- hle form. IL contains precisely the same ia- gredients-carbon, sulphur and nitre; and is manufactured with great ease, and may be preserved even for months in water. All that is necessary is to dry it before using it. When the preparation IS once made, twenty four hours would suffice to prepare suii. ciens quantity of cotton. just taken from the earding machine to carry on our whole war with Mexico. e

 And yet the preparation is SO simple, so clearly a scientific reduction of the known property of each ingredient part, Una, Il is only wonder that the same discovery has not been made years and years sgo. The inventors being about to take out a patent, il would not be proper 10 say more on the subject now, few days fwhen the patent will be sceured) all will be published, and then the process will be found so simp,s the; every man may hencefor,h make his own gunpowder as he makes his own bread, or boils his own potatoes.
