Greek Eire.
In recent Northern accounts of tho siege ot
Charleston, we find frequent mention made ot
throwing shells into the city charged with the des
structive and abominable compound called
• Gnekfire.” It is doubtless an imitation of this
famous composition, the receipt for which lias
been lost to mankind for hundreds of years, Seim
tific man of modern times are by no means
agreed as to the iugredient3 used in the manufac
ture of this wild fire, and while some announce
one thing and some another, as forming a consti
tuent part, all are at a loss to form the grand ag-
giegate. and ate left to conjecture
Wildfiic, or Greek fire as it is called, w as the
invention ot a Syrian engineer, named Calaneius
who first applied it in the sea fight under Con
stantine, against the Saracens, iu the Heltspont
and with such effect that he burnt the whole tieet
in which were thirty thousand men. It is a kind
of artificial or fictitious fire, which burns under
water, and that, it is said, with greater violence
than out of it. Its composition is supposed to be
sulphur, naptha, pitch, gum and bitumen, and is
only extinguishahle by vinegar, mixed wiih sand
and urine, or by covering it with rawhides. Its
motion or tendency is said to be contrary to that
ot naturnl tire, always following the direction iu
which it is thrown, whether downwards, sidewise
or otliemiso. For the annoyance of the enemy
the Greeks emploved it with equal effect bv sea
and land, in batteries vi m sieges. c.—..
poured from the ramparts in large boilers, or
launched in red hot balls of iron, or darted in ar
rows or javelins, twisted round with llax and tow
which iiad deeply imbibed the inflammable oil,
sometimes it was deposited in fireships and was
most commonly blown through long tubes of
copper, which were placed on the prow of a galley
and fancifully shaped into the mouths of savage
and tiideous monster that seem to vomit streams of
liquid and consuming fire. Subsequently to the
year 660, about which time it was first
used ii was cn diverse occasions applied
with signal advantage; and what is remarkable is,
that the Greeks were so happy as to keep the se
cret of the composition to themselves, though
their gallies and artillery where sometimes loaned
tj the Romans. Up to the year 960, no other na
tion knew the secret. Even at the end of the 11th
century, the Pasans, to whom every science and
every art were familiar, suffered the effects, with
out understanding the secret of the Greek tiro.
I: whs at length either discovered or stolen b) tho
Mahometans, and iii the early wars ol Syria and Eg) pt
they retorted an invention contrived against them
selves <m the heads of the Christians. In the siege of
llamietta, under St. Louis, the fire was thrown out of
a kind of mortar, and sometimes shot with an odd
kind of cross bow. In his “Histone de St. Louis,
Joinville says that which was shot from the mortar

dragon, about the thickness of a hogshead, with the
r port of thunder and velocity of lightning, and the
d trkrie-s of night was dispelled hv its deadly iUmmua-
Tl, e use of Greek fire continued until the middle ot
the 14th century, when the scientific or casual com
pound of nitre, sulphur and charcoal effected a new
revolution iu the art of war and the history ot mankind.
In the manuscripts of an ancient author, the composit
ion of this fire is described as being formed b v mixing
over a lire, the charcoal of willow, nitre, branuy, rosin,
sulpher, pitch and camphor.
Of whatever it innv he composed, it is one or the
most destructive agents ot warfare known in ancient
or modern times, and while we know that the V ankees

the army proper of Georgia can he made fifteen or
twenty thousand strong. Armed, thoroughly drilled

infantry much more difficult than heretofore. Tho
approach of the enemy will speedily be made known,

A correspondent of the Petersnnrg Express j
gives the following account of the review ot Gen- j
oral Ewell’s corps bj General Lee; j
The bugle soon amourced all iu readiness and
General Leo was diipatched for, who soon came j
riding up, and now the cavalcade, composed of j
General Lee and ijtitf. General Ewell aud Stall, j
aud the division comuanders, started off at a swift
gallop to the right *f the first division, and soon
they are seen coining down the front of the line,
each brigade coming to a “present” as the caval
cade passed, and as they swept by us the strains
of music were swelling up ail along the line.—
They p ssed around the left of the line, dashed
back to the right of tho second division, and re
viewed the second and third divisions in the same
manner as the first, ind once moro caine hack to
the original starting point, the riders and horses
both looked much jaded, the distance they
having goue so swiftly over being fully nine
miles:
General Lee immeliately dismounted and came
to his carriage, whiih was only a few steps dis
tant, and in which were two of his daughters,
and in a few minutes called to his side many of
1 his Generals, among’hem Genera’- Ewell, Long-
• street, Hill, Stuart, 'ffilcox, aud others, and gave
i his daughters an intr >duction to them. llis
j daughters hive exceedingly pleasant and intelli-
j gent countenances, both having dark and pierc-

in response, would take his hat off. And now 1
got a close view of the men composing this gallant j
corps. Here passed those men who had so often l
followed General Jackson in his numerous bat |
tleq, and had won forhim that renown which will i
live through ages to come; and now passes Jaek-
sons’s old division, at present commauded by the j
gallant General Jolmston: and here comes the ;
“Stonewall Brigade,” which was composed of j
veteran looking soldiers. Many of the banners i
of the corps boro evidence of having been oft borne j
to the breeze, amid the whistling of buliets, and
all of them contained some dozen or fifteen names
to mark the different, battles the respective regi
ment had distinguished themselves in. Oue staud
of colors belongiugto the 2ist Virginia regiment
was carried by Color Sergeant John Brent, for
merly of Richmond city, who is at present perform
ing one of the most gallant acts that has yet ex
hibited itself iu tho Confederate army, for not
withstanding he lost his right arm at the battle of
Cbancellorsville last May, he has returned to his
regiment, and, beiug offered a discharge, refused
to receive it, but asked o^his Colonel permission
to again carry those colors that oft before proudly
waved over his head His Colonel consented,
and the affair being mentioned to General John
ston, he took the colorsand presented them to the
young man in person as a reward for the noble
patriotism which prompted him to such an act of
self denial and love of country.
The review being now over, the crowd of spec
tators dispersed, and the troops, with three hearty
cheers for Gen. Lee commenced wending their 1
way back to the camps. Among the ladies in at
tendance other than the misses Lee, already men
tioned, where Gen Eweli’s lady and daughter.
Mrs. Ewell is a handsome and agreeable lookiug
lady, and the General’s daughter is almost a
beauty.
While General Ewell is on his horse one can
hardly notice that he is minus one of his original
nether limbs, his cork leg being hardly noticeable.
It is surprising to see how eager (lie men of this
army are always to get a good view of Gen Lee,
for though a person has seen him a hundred times,
yet he never tires looking at him, and this was
noticeable as the many thousands passed by, to
see how eager they would peer to tho right to get
a glance at him.

Slit—The present distress of the army, with
which you are well acquainted, have determined
me to call upon the respective counties of the State
for a proportion of grain aud cattle, according to
the abilities of each.
For this purpose I have addressed the magis

take the business. This mode I have prefered as
| the me least inconvenient to the inhabitants: but
] in case the requisition should not be complied
with, we must then raise the supplies ourselves

execution of this measure in the county of Bergen

GEO: WASHINGTON.
Dipllirria.
Profane Swearing.—We desire without
wishing to usurp clerical prerogatives, to
call the attention of the army of the pres
ent day,to an order issued by tlie “Father
of his Country,” in regard to tL-c vulgar
aud degrading vice ol profane swear
ing.
“Colonel Washington has observed that
the men of his regiment arc very profane
and reprobate. He takes this opportunity
to inform them of his great displeasure at
such practices, and assurcss them, that
if they do not leave them oh’ they shall
be severely punished. The ofiicers are
desired, if they hear any man swear, or
make use of an oath or execration, to or
der the offender twenty-five lashes imme
diately, without a court martial. For a
second offence he shall he more severely
punished.”
One would infer from the above that the
officers in Washington’s command were
not expected to indulge in profane lan
guage. Certainly no man should he an
officer, who is habitually guilty of such a
mean and senseless vice. No wonder
that young men, pure as innocence itself
when they enter the army, come home
to astonish their parents by strange ut
terances, when their superiors set tlie
pernicious example. Officers should hear
in mind that they are not only responsible
for w'hat is generally meant by the efficien
cy of their command, but they are also
responsible to a very great extent, fertile
moral condition of their men.
The Federal Congress.—The Boston Journal (Abo
lition) takes issue with the New York Herald, as to the
Gasification of the political complexion of the next
house. The latter figured out an anti Administration
majority of three: the Journal concludes differently.—
So far as chosen the members ar. thus classed: Ad
ministration and war democrats, 81; opposition, 73 ;
Kentucky delegation, 8. Two of the latter,at least, it
is thought, will be found acting with the Abolitionists.
There remains to he elected 13 members: 3 in Cali
fornia, 1 in Delawarq, 3 in Maryland, 3 in Vermont
and 3 in Western Virginia. Of these, says the Jour
nal,there is every prohabi ity that the Administration
will obtain the majority, or 8 to 7 opposition. If that
should he the case the whole house would stand j62
Administration to 90 opposition, even giving the en
tire Kentucky delegation to the latter. We believe
that this is a very moderate and reliable calculation,
under the present circumstances of the ease. It i-
very likely that an administration candidate for stiea-
ker, accounted decidedly radical, iike Hon Tliaddeus
Stephens, for instance, might fail of an election. But
we have no doubt that any good man fairly represent
ing the Administration iu the houst—like Schuyler
Colfax, for instance, or a dozen others that might lie
named—would he and is hound to go into the sp- ake: s
chair.

importance, namely: the fitting out or equipping
two powerful iron plated steam rams, which I am
informed are intended to commit hostilities
against the Government and people of the United
States.
My attention has long been directed to these
subjects. Both the Treasury and Home De
partments have, at my request, made most
anxious inquiries upon the subject of these steam
rams.
Y’ou are aware that by tlie foreign enlistment
act a ship is liable to be detained, and the owners
are subject to a penalty when the ship is armed
or equipped for purposes of war, and the owners
intend to use her against some State or communi
ty in friendship with her Majesty.
It is necessary to prove both the equipment and
I the intention. It is necessary for conviction in a
| public court of justice to have the evidenco of a
! credible witness.
I I was in hopes, when I began to read your nie-
I morial, that you would propose to furnish me with
: evidence that the steam rams in question were iu-

' ment and people of the United States; but you
