Professors Bnllger of llmfor'merplacn.nnd8chou-
hidii of Hie litter, simultaneously, by u Kindi ir
coursonf experimenting, have invented a method
of prcpaiingraxv cotton which will undoubtedly
RVKiimatn in ilmdtsoantimiauoo of tlm us-nfgnn-

look from each ofhts .wnl-lcoit pockets n paper
containing anno raty cotton; a small p rlinn of that
which xvm in ono lie pi iced upon a sheet ol'wliiln
paper, nnd near it sumo gunpowder upon another
s'ent. Ho touched them nt the s itnn moment
with llm burning oml of n cigar, and with tl.m
quit'kness of the lightning's blast, tlm cotton xvaa
con-timed without smoke nr odor, nr Hahns, or
even the slightest stain uponthu aup)v wlii nidi et
of foolscap; while Iho igiiilinri'nf the gunpowder
seemed to bo alow, although of the Imat quality, hy
which the paper was burnt nnd colored, and the
room filled with smoke. lie then look a small
quantity of punpoxvder and placing it npnu paper
entirely covered it with prnpnred cotiOn from tlio
other paper. Touching the cotton with the blaze
ofn match, it exploded without burning Hip gnu-
powder! Subsequently, nl my apartmpot, he nx-
pbuLd cottnii upon thn palm ofniyhnn l. without
my fneluig tlm sensation of heat, such wns tho re
markable rapidity of its igniting.
A short time, it is stated by tlm inventors, is only
required (hr the preparation of tlm article, nnd llm

nhjeot that nur commanding General tins granted

remqmborod that our invincible litllo Army hnd
already suffered severely in bareing the bosoms of
our bestciiizons, and bravest officers, and aufiliera,
to the batteries nfnn unseen foe ; tint the city was
still immensely strong in its defences; that tho

and most of them defended by canuiip ; and that
xvlien diiven from the i-ity the Mcxic ut Army pna-
scssed n fortress ealldd the Citadel, of immense
capacity nnd greet strength, in which the whole

aniiit, wouldlinvecnit us very dearly. 'Indepen

glowing short and our am nutrition was q iile
limited. We were far removed from onr sup*

have been reinforced at ariy moment. And lastly,
llm policy avowed by our Government docs not

upon terms such ns would be becoming in s greet

ion, been accomplished, in as full, complete and
ample a manner hy the course pursued in the
capitulation, ns if tve ha 1 stormed the citadel and
pill their whole army to tho sxvnrd. This is, in
my judgment, the lust battle which will be fought
in the Mexican war. Gen. Ampudh, in urging a

to pence ; that he was xx ell assured that the course

if (he war is to he prosecuted, xvo are in the pos-
ssssion of one of the strongest, most healthy and

our reinforcements nnd supplies arrive, nur Ar
my cannot be expelled by any force which Mex
