EnDlOvment.

For upwards Of three years past, have
been engaged in a business, which has yielded
me at the rate Of Three Thousand Dollars per
anDum. but being desirous Of going to Europe
in the course Of a few months for the purpose
Of there introducing the business, am willing
to teach il to any one who will send me One
Dollar. The business is no humbug, but of a
highly useful and general character adapted
both 20 cities and villages, and one that any
person Of ordinary capacity, young or old,
male or female, can acquire with few hours
practice and by which they can secure very
handsome income. Several young ladies who
have received instructions from me, both IN
New York State and Pennsylvania, are earn
inc upyards OF Fifteen Dollars per week by it,
and there is no reason why any one else can
not do the same invalids, even, can do well
by il, as it IS no pcddiing affair, but business
that is perfectly spectacle. Gentlemen ana
ladies' OF leisure who would like to learn the
business for their own amusement or pleasure,
will find the practice Of it pleasant pastime,
and one that they viii take great interest IN
On receipt Of One Dollar l will send printed
instructions by which any person can readily
acquire the art, and these instructions VIII
also contain every particular relative to the
carrying it on so that it will be highly profit
able. The purchaser OF the ''printed lnstruc-
tions" will also be authorized to teach it to
others; and I have sometimes received as high
as Two Hundred Dollars for teaching it per-
sonalIy to single individual. would state
further, that Two Dollars and Fifty Gents or
Three Dollars viii buy everything that Is
necessary to commence the business with,
and the articles can be got almost anywhere
in city or country or, if preferred, can fur
nish them Address,

[From the Cincinnati Gazette. ]
Gen. Lees ReDOPt.

We may reasonably suppose that Gen.
Lee has not set forth in his official re-
port all his plans and objects in his
Pennsylvania campaign, but he shows
plainly that they were all defeated. He
speaks of "other valuable results to be
attained by military success, but as the
military success was not attained, the
others did not appear; and we doubt if
he saw the signs that he expected.
He says he undertook to draw Hooker
north for the purpose of attacking him.
Hooker marched north, but Lee says he
pursued the roads near the Potomac,
and no favorable opportunity was offered
for attack. Surely there were all the
battlefelds they had fought over before.
But it seems from this that Lee expected
Hooker would follow his march west
ward into the Valley of Virginia, and
leave Washington and the North open.
| In this he reckoned without his host
Lees march began on the Sd of June.
1t vas promptly discovered, and he ad-
mits that Hooker's dispositions discon-
certed his plan. A national force
crossed the Rappahannock, and threat
ened the rear of the rebel column A
cavalry force crossed higher up and at
tackled. Lee says it was repulsed, but
these operations must have delayed his
movement.
Lees forces captured Winchester, Of
course. The place was indefensible, and
the only alternative offered to its COM
mander, upon the advance of a heavy
force, was to run in advance, or wait to
retreat with honor, and be cut up. The
court martialing of the commander al
Winchester is only diversion to cover
the incapacity that placed him there.
1t is difficult to see any nationality IN
Lees plans as he describes them. 1t is
strange that he should have expected tC
draw Hooker into any more favorable
opportunity for attack than was offered
J in the country east of the mountains
and between the Rappahannock and Pc
, tomac. There was but two other posi-
BILE places; one in the Shenandoah Val
ley, if Hooker had followed Lee march
But this Lee could hardly have expected
The other was in case Hooker could hav,
hurried into Maryland in advance of Lee
K But this he could not have expected, al
ter his efforts to get the start of Hooke
o in the march North. 1t would appea

fire your correspondent was enabled to
judge by igniting some himself, and
thrusting it alternately into water and
sand. Several seconds immersion in
either was Intellectual to extinguish the
flame
Another tube thrown under water on
the beach, was exhausted of its contents
The thick pitchy smoke that bubbled up
through the water, continued two minutes
to prove that combustion still went on
A third tube was fired and buried on the
beach, the wet sand being pressed and
stamped on all sides of it, so that the air
was excluded from the flame In four
minutes it was dug up and found to have
quite burned out A substance that will
burn two minutes, inextinguishable by
any of the appliances ordinarily at hand,
must be very dangerous incendiary
agent. Chemists know how to compound
several such mixtures; but, as all those
heretofore made have been liquid or gas
eous in their form, the danger of using
them has been very great Mr.. Short has
reduced his compound to a solid body,
inexplosive and not liable to spontaneous
combustion. He packs it in tin tubes
three inches in length and three-fourths
of an inch in diameter. These are lined
inside and out with pitch. The solid
compound is tightly packed into them,
fuse being inserted at one end They are
then covered with brown paper and de-
posted in wooden boxes Of $50 each,
ready for use. 1t would seem that they
might be made available for the same
purpose as hand grenades are used for.
Mr.. Short might, with advantage, cause
them to be packed in sheet iron boxes
instead of wooden ones Indeed they are
so very liable to aggravate dangerous
fires when kept near other articles of
ordnance that it would be well to set our
patent fre-proof safe makers at work to
devise light and portable packing cases
for them, intended specially to preserve
them, for time at least, from contact
with fires accidentally kindled.

The Greek Fire.

A recent letter from Morris Island
gives the following account of the prepa-
ration of Greek fire, and some expert
ments Herewith:
Your correspondent yesterday wit
messed some experiments with this new
incendiary agent, calculated to deter
mine if it would cause premature explo-
sion of shells containing it. Nine shells
were fred from 30-pounder Parrott
gun into the sea- Of these two con-
tanned each 10 of the small tin tubes in
which the Greek fire is packed, in addi-
ton to the bursting charge of powder.
The other seven had each four tubes of
the inhammable article. The first shot
had a charge of ten tubes. This had
wooden plug instead of fuse. 1t fell
into the water without exploding. The
second, containing ten tubes, with Eve
second fase, exploded $50 feet from the
gun and vas deemed an evidence of pre-
mature explosion by the Captain of Ord
nance in command, who declared that
the shell should in five seconds travel at
least l 200 feet To this Mr.. Short, the
proprietor Of the Greek fire, objected
that the fuse might have been defective
or imperfectly adjusted Accordingly,
he was invited to see the remaining fuses
placed in the shells The Sergeant per-
forming this duty carefully filed them
in with white lead to prevent leakage OF
gas into the skell from the chamber of
the gun by the ignition of the powder
therein. The seven remaining shells
were discharged at various elevations,
with 5, 10 aud 12-second fuses, most OF
the shells exploding into the air when
their fuses had burned through, the
Others falling unexplodeds into the sea,
/ owing to the depression of the gun. The
fir st shot and the seven last fred prove
that the Greek fire did not, as charged
explode the shells prematurely This
was all. that was required to be proved
by the experiment
