among the Rebel Prisoners.

On the Louisville and Nashville Railroad a
correspondent heard interesting conversations
in the cars between the Union soldiers and
the rebel prisoners, which he describes in the
following graphic manner: a1T
They were discussing the effects of slavery
on the poorer classes of the South--thc differ
ence between the North and South in ad-
vancement, in schools, manufactures, &c. A
very bcnevolent-looking gentleman. mission
airy, in explaining the great influence the col
ored people had on the education of the whites
in the South, said they were taken care Of,
nursed, and raised by the colorod people,

ways. and" said he, "whon was baby,
myself had to suck the breast of an old col
ored woman" noticed that little boy, ten
Or twelve years old said, Mamma, where
are the rebels2" The mother blushed, and
the men just before him turning their heads
at this childish inquiry, said: "There they
are" pointing to the prisoners. "No, they
are not the rebels" he replied, evidently
thinking that the murderers ofhis father. and
the dcstroysrs of all their domestic happiness,
must be some hideous and dreadful wild
beasts; but on the continued reinsurance Of
his mother, and the answer of the men them
selves that they were really the rebels, he
seemed to accept it as possible fact, at which
he put up bis little fists to his face, and shrunl

WHAT is "GREEK FIRE?"-The announce
ment that General Gilmore has thrown shells
into Charleston city has elected general in
quiry as to its peculiar composition and prop
critics. The New York journal of Commerce
explains as follows.
The name Greek fire. is applied to pc
culiar compound of bitumen, naptha and
pitch, that burns on the surface of, or under
water. It is composed largely of what the
chemists call "arsenical alcohol" most de-
structive in its effects, and, in the course of
its discharge, emitting most offensive odor.
"Greek fire" has frequently been employed in
European wars, but not often in modern
times. The secret of its preparation and use
was derived from native Of Heliopolis, Syria,
about thousand years ago. Originally it
was projected against the enemy on arrows
and iayelins, around which fax was twisted,
saturated with the inHanimable compound
1t was often vomited through long copper
tubes from the mouths of hideous figures
which were set in the prows fire ships. In
the holy wars of Syria and Egypt, the Ma
hommedans often used "Greek fire" agains
the Christians, and one of the chroniclers o
the times describes it as coming through thu

IMPROVED BILLIARD TABLES.
AND
COMRIN4 TION CUSHIONS.


U1HEsE Billiard Tables have received the un-
Il qualified approval of the best players and most
competent Judges who have universally pronounced
them unequalled for general excellence and dura-
bility.
Seven distinct patents for improvements in Bill
lard Tables have been granted to us by the United
States Patent Office and We have lately obtained "a
patent from the French government for i'm
provements in billiard cushions
We employ, in the construction Of our tables,
variety Of machines specially made Tor the purpose,
by which means are enabled to insure scientific
and mechanical accuracy hitherto unknown in bill
lard manufacture.
Having long experience and thorough knoul-
edge OF all the appliances of billiards. and constant
ly on hand large stock of the best and most
thoroughly seasoned materials, we are prepared to
furnish everything required in the billiard line with
unprecedented dispatch.
The eminent French billiard player, NJ Berger,
has published the following opinion:
anew YoRK, August I'd 1861.
"on the eve of leaving the United States, am
happy to declare to all amateurs of billiards that,
after tour of eleven months through the principle
cities, have been enabled to judge in satisfactory
manner of the superiority of the Billiard Tables
manufactured by Phelan 4 Colender. The system
of manufacture is superior that happy to
introduce their style Of cushion into France. They
have united to their manufacture Of American Bill
lizard Tables that of the French Tables, Of remarka-

h:appy to make this declaration.
