The frigatc Susqnehanna has arrived
from Hatieras Inlet, and brings most in

capture Of the propeller Fanny, by the
rebels, the Ceres and Putnam having one
Of the launches Of the Susquehanna IN tow,
went up the CIlicicomaco, and landed pro-
visions the same evening, without having
seen anything Of the rebels. On Satur-
day, however, word reached Hatteras by
the Stars aud Stripes, that $500 rebels,
consisting Of South Carolina, Virginia and
Georgia regiments, had come over from

fai-boats, and attacked the Twentieth In

troops to cooperate with them.
They were in easy range, and the Mon
ticello opened upon them with shells Of
five-second fuses, 2ls OF which were fired
from three guns in three hours and thirty
minutes, doing great execution. The con-
federaies at first tried to shelter themselves
behind a sand-lill, and then in the narrow
copse, but soon broke in every direction,
and took refuge in their vessels. A shell

WHAT rs LIFE INsURANcE?-1. It Is the ex-
ercise of prudence, of henevolence. 2. 1t secures
independence, domestic happiness 10 the widow
and orphan. g. Is more eficacious. in its opera
tions as regards the moral and domestic comfort
of the people, and its tendency 10 reduce taxa
ton, by its reduction of paIperism, and possibly
OF crime, than the legislation of wsest states
men; and, if universally adopted, would be a ma
tional blessing. 4. 1t affords to persons OF every
class, and in every station Of life, the means to
avoid much future misery to their families, and to
render them independent Of public ol private
charity.
While it is the manifest and imperative duty of
every parent, uuring his lifeline, 10 embrace all
honorable means of supporting and advancing the
interest OF his offspring, SO it is equally his duty
TO avoid leaving them at bis death to grope their
way in helpless poverty through an uncharitable
world; and equally apparent is the duty of every
husband TO provide, in case Of his death, for the
surviving widow. To effect all which Life Insu-
rance Companies have been formed, which enable
every husband and parent, by the payment Of a
small sum, either nnually or quarterly, to pro-
vide for his widow and fatherless children.

LIQUID FIRE As A WEAPON or WAR.

IiSuiD flhE ~ WEAPON Ol WAX.
Some experiments woro recently tried ut tho
Washington Navy Yard with an apparatus foI
tho election of liquid IRE, which to all intents
and purposes Ia the famed Crock fro revived,
the secret of which has been lost. Tho chomi.
cal composition OF this fire may not bo tho same
but its effects are ~ terrible as those attributed
to the inextinguishablo fro of tho Greeks. Tho
composition and the apparatus for ejecting it
are tho inventions OF Professor Is. Y. Grcenough
Of Boston, who, though for many years nearly
blind, has pursued his chemical investigations
with urabated zeal, until he has produced what
promises TO be a terrible auxiliary in warfare.
The experiments wero made under he direc-
tion OF Board, consisting of Capt. q. V. Fox,
Assistant Secretary Of tho Navy, Capt. Dahl
gren, Capt. Wainwright and Lieut.. Badger. A
target was erected upon a platform fifty feet
long by thirty feet wide, tho target being
made Of solid oak timter three feet in thickness.
The fluid was sjcctod in an inert state from a
pipe OF 8 10th inch diameter, and was thrown
some thirty TO fifty yard. before II reached the
target. At distance Of several feet from the
nozzle the luid ignited, expanding 10 dame
ter of two feet, with an intense combustion
which covered the target and the platform
with liquid fire. The fire was apparently mex.
tingulshable, burning readily on the water, and
consuming the target. 1t emitted dense fumes
and smoke which darkened the atmosphere and
would have suifscated any human being who
had come within its influence. The experiment
was quite successful.
We understand that experiments have also
been made with shells filled with this liquid,
and with great success The composition, tho
secret Of which Is known only to the inventor,
promises to be very effective auxiliary Of
