WHAT Is GREEK FIRE I"

The announcement that General Gilmore
has thrown shells containing "Greek fire'' in
to Charleston city, has ELECTED a general in
quiry as to its peculiar composition and prop
critics. The New York Journal of Commerce
explains as follows: The Greek fire of histo-
ry was probably compound of bitumen, sui
phnr and pitch. There has been considerable
romance in the accounts of it. But it vas
weapon of great importance to the Romans
for four centuries, during which they preserv-
ed the secret Of its composition as natural
possession. 1t was thrown in balls, or on ar
rows and spears, and 1t was poured from walls
OF cities upon the towers and heads of besieg-
ers- Its most terrible use was on shipboard,
where it was pumped out of tube >. IN the prov
OF galley, upon the decks of an enemy, set
ting fire TO all that 1t touched. The Moham-
medans learned the art of max ingsIt, and used
it In the crusades with dea dly effect and the
knights of st. John, while at Rhodes, made
1t grand weapon of their naval combsts. The
common idea that Greek fire was fluid which
ignited on the surface of the sea, may be dis
missed. 1t sometimes burned on the water,
but only when falling in large quantities.
The Generic name of Greek fire has been
given to III kinds of incendiary compounds
inclosed in shells and thrown into cities for
the purpose of firing them. There are seve-
raj patents out for these compounds, and the
exact methods of mixing and using them are
known only to the inventors. But the basis
of them all is said to be phosphorus dissolved
in bisulphide OF carbon. The latter Is a very
curious liquid, having all the apparent purity
of distilled water, and very high refractive
power, but evolving, on evaporation, or com
bustion, the fouiest stencil known to chemc
al sciences science which positively revels
in nauseous odors. 1t has the extraordinary
of dissolving phosphorus freely and
it 10 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 she'll, charged with this
ssvillaineus" mixture, explodes by percussion
or otherwise, the dissolved phosphorus is set
on fire and scattered far and wide. Wherever
it strikes it burns for long time with an al
most inextinguishable fame, and ignites all
materials that il touches. At the
same time the bisulphide OF carbon throws out
its abominable odor, and assfsts in keeping
meddlers at a respectful distance.

WISCONSIN WAR DEMOCRATS.

The War Demo ocrats of Wisconsin are at work.
Like those of Pennsylvania, they protest a
gainst the prostitution of their party to the
basest of purposes; to the interest OF rebel
lion inaugurated for the express purpose of
destroying freedom on the continent. An adj
dress to the people of the State, signed by ff-
ty or sixty leading Democrats, among whom
are NJ. Il. Carpenter, Judge Hubhell, j. e.
Arnold, formerly Democratic candidate TOR
Congress,) Judge Macarthur, Byron kibourne
Col. &. Fl. o. Brodhead, Col. Robson, Of the
Greene Bay .9duocote. and Col. E. S. Bragg,
has been issued, calling State Convention
to meet at Janesvile, on the 17th proximo.
The address is able, and the views of those is
suing it may be judged from the following ex-
tract:
We have no comment to make upon the
ticket, but it is utterly impossible for the w ar
Democrats to acquesce in the pernieiOus doc
triues, the vindictive, jealous and languid pa
triotsm displayed by this platforms or to sp-
prove of it's silence on the duties and necessi-
ties of the hour. We cannot sanction its her.
estes, nor are we willing that the glorious par-
ty of Jefferson and Jackson, that party to
whose guidance the destiDies of our country
have so often been safely confded, should pass
into the control of this arrogant and disloyal
faction. Under these circumstances the dn-
ties and true position of the loyal Democracy
seem plain and clear, and that is TO take ac-
tion at once, to organize a real and sound
Democratic party, which shall be nnfiinching
in principle, loyal in practice, true and free
in speech, and devoted to the Government,
however and by whomsoever administered
against all foes, open or concealed, at home
or abroad in the North or in the South.
The patriotic position assumed by the DEM
ocrats, in defiance of the Vaccinations OF
those who would give their voices in favor of
a dissolution of the Union, cannot be too
highly commended. The factionists led by
Vailandigham are not Democrats; and some
of the leaders are willing even to drop the
term; though the greater proportion prefer
to retain it as a net to catch the unwary.
The patriotic Democrats will doubtless be
EN- boldened to preserve the name and organi-
zation of the old party, despite the efforts of
those who are endeavoring TO destroy 1t, by
bringing upon it the odlum which must carry
every thing before it to the earth.

JUDGE wO0DWARD's APOLOGY TO THE
FOREIGNERS


We agree with the Pittsburg Gazette. in the
declaration that nothing meaner has ever come
under Its observation, in the whole course of
IFS experience, than the letter of George W
woodward in relation to his speech in the Ee-
form Convention, on the subject of extending
the term of probation for the foreigner to
twenty one years. That after lapse cf ff.
teen years he should endeavor to creep out of
oimcnlty OF this sort, by setting il down 10
the account of Wing reporter, who W anted
to do him an injury, is about the smallest
piece of business for great man we have ever
heard of, and may well satisfy any doubter as
to the truth of the story told of the PROPOSE
tion made by him to gentleman In the sher-
IFS office here, to embark with him on Joint
account, in specu lations at sheriff's sales. II
Is, however, precisely of piece with his con-
duct in the Bond cases, where latter being cor.
hered at every turn, and slenced in oper
court, be skulked from pillar to post until he
was obliged to take refuge at last in the most
discreditable of subterfuges.
But the idea of fraud of that sort w;,bop,
any apparent motive, SO dangerous to the re-
porter himself, aud so utterly improbable, ON
rs very face. is met conciusiyely by the fact.
that it was not complained of, and corrected at
the time, and not even subsequently, until it
became important to the interests of the can
dldate, who relies for his success upon the
foreign vote. that it should be denied
1t comes too late j udge Woodward to help
you now. If You had come up to the question
like man, and confessed the fact, and Insis-
ted, like the old Public Functionary, that You
had changed your opinions land regretted your
juvenile indiscretions, you might have been
honored for your frankness, and perhaps for
given by the men You are depending on. They
wiii not pardon the man who adds to the orig.
mai fault, the baseness of denying it, and
hopes TO talsify the record after the lapse of
generation.
We may add to what the Gazette here so
caustically utters, that Mr.. John Agg, the re.
porter of the proceedings of the Constitution
al Reform Convention, testified under oath
tina. the sentiments ascribed to Woodward in
regard to the disfrancbisement of the foreign.
ers, we're deliberately uttered by him in that
body. Mr.. Agg was one of the most consci-
entious men in his profession, and after he
had made his statement, Woodward subsidized
and has been silent ever since on the subject.

A BATTLE cRY-wAGEs FOR LABOR.

We suggest, says Wilkes Spirit, TO the
working Democracy of the North, whom their
office broking leaders are endeavorng to dra
racy, battle cry for the Hext campaign. Let
the text of the campaign be, ssWages for La
bor - and let them bear in mind, that the in
stant this principal s fully recognized, vast
region will be opened to them which has bith-
erto been usurped by the negro and his lord
ly master. We want the Southern country
opened up to white labor, and the only way to
accomplish that is to secure wages to all labor
The lordly idlers, who live upon the work of
other men, will then gladly employ the labor
which is most profitable and the best. As for
the negroes, they will go largely into the
standing army of the country, and as it is a
well known fact that soldiers do not reproduce
themselves, large portion of the problem of
their future will be clearly solved. Let the
true Democracy. therefore, rally to the cry of
s'Wages for laborl'' 1t is the only one which
is worthy of their name and principles it will
do more, by its very sound, to defeat the Nor-
thern miscreants who are endeavoring to mis-
lead them to the support of Southern aristoc-
racy and treason, than all other arguments
combined. The opposition to the text will
come solely from aristocrats and traitors
for the separation of the Democratic masses
from their Infamous leaders that could be ap-
piled. "Wages for labor.''
