THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 34.
PX'JM GEN. LIE’S ARH7
Ait Mir of Northern Virginia, )
September 1C, 1863. f
As I h.-tvti telegraphed you, nothing of
Hpecial importance tranapired yesterday.—
.Sitirmiaiiiug went on all day in the yicimty
of Kapidan bridge between the dismounted
cavalry, acting aa sharpshooters on our line*
and a similar body of t.hc enemy.
It ia impossible to «ay what this movement
re illy means. By many it is believed to be
a mero rcc mnoiaance in force. Bat as they
have batteries planted in front at Raccoon
Ford, it is not improbable that it may be %
general advance. Tlioro are certainly two
corps ol infantry at Calpepper Court House
— Warren’s and another one, and from the
fact that a cavalryman In the 7th Virginia
was killed fully a mlio from the enemy yes
terday, when no artillery was engaged, 1
infer that there must be infantry sharpshoot
ers in front.
Stuart lost three pieces of artillery-In the
light on Sunday. They were captured 40
they wore retreating through the town.—
ii impton’s brigade was, for a time, cut off
• >o “ tt»vlny, on ibe Btevensburg road* but
managed to cut it* way through. It wap
also feared for a while that th-j 16th Vn and
3 i N. C. cavalry, who were picketing near
Woodvilie, wAre for a while cilt of , bat I
am happy to say that they cable through
salely.
Among the melancholy casualties thu* far
is thu wound received in the arm by a very
interesting youth, 1(> years did, a clerk in
(leu. K.irly’a Adjutant General’®office,wklpb
rendered amputation to the Shoulder neces
sary.
1 telegraphed you that Garter'* battalion
lost some 23 men in the shelling at Raccoon
Ford. This loss occurred principally in go
ing to get a position. The enemy have, as
yi:», shown no artillery at Rapldan bridge.
The. report tills morning is that the enemy
is fortifying at BlaughterMountain.
It is reported that the enemy are running
their trains to Mitchell’s Station, but 1 am
inclined to chink this doubtful.
1 rather think there will be no general
engagement for several days, but that a big
battle will occur soon somewhere on this
line, 1 have no doubt. ,X.

GitEKu Fjhe.—In recent Ngrthera ac-
e muts of the siege of CliarleAtbo^ we find
frequent mention made of throwing shells
into the city, charged with the destructive
and abominable compound called ‘^Greek
tire.’’ It is doubtless an imitation of this fa
mous composition, the receipt for which has
been lost to mankind lor h andreds of years.
Seieutilic men of modem times are by no
means agreed a9 to the ingredient used In
t tie manuiacture of this wild fire, and while
some announce ono thing and some another
as forming a constituent part, all are at a
loss to form a grand aggregate, end are left
to conjecture.—Charleston Gear.
Wiki Jire, or Greek’s fire, as it is called, was
the invention of a Syrian engineer named
G all aniens, who first applied it in the Sea
(i» !U under Constantine, against the Sara-
ceus, in the Hellespont, and with sock effect
that lie burnt the whole fleet, in which were
thirty thousand men. R is a kind of artifi
cial or “factitious fire, which burns under
water, and that it isoaid, with greater vio
lence than outofiL
Its composition is supposed to lie of sul
phur, naptha, gum and bitumen, and is only
cvlinguishable only by vinegar, mixed with
sand urine, or by covering it with raw hides.
Us motion or tendency is said to be contrary
to that of natural fire, always following the
direction in which it thrown, whether aide-
ways, downwards or otherwise. For the
annoyance ot the enemy theSGreeka empoy-
ed it with equal effect uy sea and land, in
batteries or m sieges. It was either pourod
from the rampart in large boilers, or launch
ed in red hot balls of iron, or darted in ar
rows twisted round with tow which had im-
bibed the inflammable oil; sometimes it was
deposited in fire ships and blown through
fantastically ehaped tubas of copper, wh&h
seemed to vomit streams of liquid fire.
Subsequently to the year 660, about
which time it was first used, it was on dt*
vers occasions applied with signal advan-
t!ige; and what is remarkablo Ts, that the
Greeks were so happy as to keep the secret
of the composition to themselves, though
1 heir gallie8 and artillery were sometimes
loaned to the Ramans. Up to the year 960,
no other nation knew the* secret. Bven at
t he end of the llth century, the FtSaus, to
whom every science and every art ware fa
miliar, suffered the effects without under-,
standing the secret of ihe Greek fire.
