The public are eau toned against negotiating cheeks or drafts from this division, unless coming through res ponsible channels.
 The Herald's Morris Island correspondent thus speaks of the effect of the first shells thrown into Charleston:
 The visitors which our Swamp Angel sent them, created most uproarious panic. The people were reused by their advent, and that universal confusion followed and general ske. daddle ensued, was evident from the light of burning buildings, the ringing of bells from every steeple, and the screeching and scream ing of locomotive whistles.

A cosnEspoxDRNT from Roxbury sends us as an item remarkable 'fsh story'-and youches for the truth of it. He states the facts as follows. A Mir. Terrill, of Rexbury, had noticed the brook trout at the mouth of 8 small stream in that town, darting up the brook as if very much frightened; and watch ing for tho cause, he discovered it to be a large fish, which was evidently pursuing them. After watching it for some time he procured a boat and . shad-seine and succeeded in cap turing the cause of the fish disturbance. It proved to be an enormous trout, (of the sal mon species and measured three feet one ineh in length, 6 fit. l in.,) and weighed, when caught, serenteen CID pounds! We have hoard of large brook trout before, but never of such a monarch as this. Roxbury may be proud of the distinction, az having raised the biggest fish yet. The trout undoubtedly orig mated in the shepaug river.

FAIL OF BR1DoE.-The bridge over the Westville (Mass.l river, at the gorge of Mount Tom. about two miles east of Westtield, known as Morley's bridge, gave way on "Wednesday forenoon, the east end or abutment being precipitated into the river, distance of about forty feet. It was an old structure, and 1t wouid seem that it was unsafe, for it gave way when DO one was passing over it. H. H. came up to the bridge in his family carriage. for the purpose of crossing, but Q few minutes after it fell, and had he attempted to cross over, would most likely have gone down with the bridge, in which case the result might have been very serious, perhaps fatal to himself and family Erchange.
 Pity about that. Undoubtedly Mr. B. could have been fatally injured, if he had attempted to cross the bridge "a .ts,O minutes afser !, JsE'-especially if he happened to have fallen over the broken end oft.

Foss of the Methodist Church. A very large congrega- tiou were in attendance.

GREEK F1RE.-We have been frequently asked, of late, description of this eompound. Here it is, brightly and suscinctly stated bye contemporary =
 "T The Greek fire was invented about . thou. sand years ago in the East, and was employed in the crusades against the Christians,to whom it was source of the utmost terror and con- fusion. It is composed of what is known as "arsdnic alcohol" and is chiefly made of pitch, naptha and bitumen, and readily burns on an d under water. It was originally projected D arrows and javelins, around which flax was twisted, saturated with the compound. It omits e most offensive odor in it's discharge, and is very destructive in it's effects. The secrs! of the composition of this fire was lest until tho commencement our civil war, when it was discovered or e-invented-singularly enough by Virginian-who offered 1t to our govern ment, and tried to procure patOnt for It.

TEE HARTFORD HORSE FAIR.-The big posters announce that the National Horse Show opens in Hartford on Tuesday next, and will continue for four days. The Hartford papers state that it will be undoubtedly one oi the largest and finest exhibitions ever held there. A number of celebrated horses from abroad will be upon the track, and compete for the prcmiums-which are very numerous and liberal. The Managers of this Associa' ton always do the liberal thing, and we au' ticipate nothing less from them than O gala time and fattering success.

THE DARK1Es TO BE CALLED OUT

THE DARKIES TO BE CALLED OUT {!
 Rebel papers received at Morehead City say that Jeff Davis has decided, after conference with the governors of the confederate states, to call out 300, ,000 black troops, whe are to re- ceive their freedom ard fifty acres of land at the end of the war
 Thaddeus Stevens-a very good authority is of the opinion that the payment of $500 by drafted man is precisely the same as furnish ing substitute clears the payer for the en- tire term oe three years, and during that time he cannot be again liable to draft.

l ABOUT THE DRAYT.-We are authorizsd Co say that Gov Buckingham went to Washing. i ton few days since for the purpose of making some arrangement with the War Department which would at once relieve the several towns in the State from furnishing, by draft, num- Der of men equal to the surplus of volaRteers which some have already furnished.
 With view of approaching an equitable ad- justment of the questions involved, he submit ted the following propositions First. Let the War Department adopt the | certificate of the Executive, which exhibits the surplus of volunteers furnished by towns, as correct.
 Second. Where men have already been drafted from town which forms sub-distriet, and which has already surplus equal to or greater than tho number now ordered, direct that such men be at once discharged. If the draft has not taken place, order it suspended. Where such town has furnished surplus which is not sufficient to meet the present de- mand, order a draft which shall only be equsl to the defSIency. But if the draft has taken place, discharge number equal to such sur plus, beginning with the last man drafted and running back as far as may be necessary to re- lease the prescribed number.
 | 1hlrd. Where two or more towns form 0 subdstrict. and one or lore has furnished 6 SuipIE5 "Ulie Oie OE WOTe nus nOL, IeL tD0 draft be made and then release from those who may be drafted from such town or towns 6
 number equal to the surplus, beginning with the man last drafted. If the draft has already taken place. let the surplus be released in the same manner.
 Fourth. Return to the box for drafting in
 the several sub districts all the names of men
 who have been released.
 Fifh. Ascertain the number which will be- released under the above orders, and the pc r centage which they bear to the enrolment 0 the State. and then order an additional dra 1t of the same per centage throughout the State. To this proposition tho Department replie
 verbaliy-that there was authority unCe f
 the law of Congress to deduct the surplus of volunteers which may have been furnished by
 towns, from the quota now ordered by draft from those towns.
 That Congress had not authorized an appor-
 tionment of men to be drafted from towns, and
 such an apportonment would be usurpation , of legislative powers, would be acting outside of the provisions of the law, and in volve ths Department in nextricable embarrassment and
 difficulty which cannot be attempted. From this it will be seen that by the draft
 now ordered, no distinction can be made be- , tween those towns which have furnished sur. plus of volunteers and those which have not. , While tho Governor regrets the heavy bur dens which the most loyal and patriotic are
 called upon to bear under this decision, yet he
 feels that any attempt to remedy evils and . equalize burdens outside of the provisions of law, will only increase and aggravate them.- Norwich Bulletin

GREEK F1RE-Ths generic name of Greek fire has been given to all kinds of incendiary compounds inclosed in shells and thrown into cities for the purpose of firing them. There are several patents out for these compounds, and the exact methods of mixing and using them are known only to the inventors. But the basis Of all of then, Is said to be phospho. rus dissolved in bisulphide of carbon, 'rhe latter IS very curious liquid, having all the apparent parity of distilled water, and a very high refractive power, but evolving,on eyapora- tion and combustion, the foulest stench known to chemical science--a science which positive ly revels in nauseous Odors. It has the extra ordinary property of dissolving phosphorus freely, and preserving it in e fluid state for any length of time when kept from the air. The compound kindles at heat as low as that of phosphorus alone. When the shell, chare- ed with this " villainOus" mixture, explodes by percussion or otherwise, the dissolved phosphorus is set ou fire aud scattered far and wide. Wherever it strikes, 1t burns for long time with almost inextinguishable flame, and lgnltes all combustible materials that it touch. es. At the same time the bisulphide of ear oon throws out it's abominable odor, and as-
 sists ln keeping meddlers at respectful dis
 lance. II Gillmore is injecting this stuff into
 onsrleston, the people of that city might as
 well leave for the country by the shortest road,
 taking their fire engines with them, for the lat-
 ter will be of little account in putting out the
 conaagratIon in Charleston which has been
 started and csn be kept going for an unlim- itea period.
 Beauregard is said to protest against this 'vilainous compound" as unworthy of ciy- ilized nations" Yet he is the man who threw red hot shot into Fort Sumter for number of hours, and by that means set fire to the wood- en quarters, and burned out and smoked out poor Major Anderson and his handful of men. Gen. Gilmore is only trying the same game, with slight variation of appliances, on Beau. regard and his soldiers, sheltered in the city of Charleston, after the usual notice for the re- moval of non-combatants. Beauregard can stop tho Greek fire" any time by surrender ing the city-just as Anderson put quietus on the red hot shot by yielding up the fort. Nothing is easier.-JoMrnalo of Commerce..
