Tuttle. on the determination OF
Traitors.

Tuttle in his letter of acceptance of the
Rebel nomination. talks, about "a species
of intolerance" which he says prevails
and is in danger of bringing on civil war
He intended this as slap at loyal cit
izens for regarding the rebel sympathi,
GERS in our midst as traitors.
Yet no officer in the army has been
more bitter in his denunciations of the
men who are now supporting him for of.
fee. He has recently declared that such
men as Mahony, Byington, &C., ought to
be hung.
In September, 1862, not quite a year
ago when Gen. Tuttle was in command
at Cairo, the st. Louis Democrat publish
ed the following extract from a private
letter then received from him:
Il am in taaor of calling out million
more men and forming a line of battle
from the Atlantic to the Mississippi
Then go forward. When we find Un-
ion man make him shoulder his gun and
come along, whits or bback Make every
body else keep ahead of the bayonet or
90 Gacc~n. for tell you nothing but war
of determination fof traitorsl will do any
good, and l am in favor o. that.
He was right when he thus denounced
traitors. He is wrong when he stands
up as the candidate of the same traitors
for office, and talks about toleration.

Greek Fire.

The eccentric exhorter who discoursed

kinds of fire, cam-fre, hell-fre. and fire
and fall back" would need to add to his
list, Greek Fire, unless General Beaure-
gard should persuade him that it deserved
Classification under the second head
above named. And General Beaure-
CARDS statement must be admitted as
evidence upon the point. General Gil
more's Greek Fire is introducing quite
sensation into Charleston, and that
from a distance Of over FIVE miles. And
it is but history repeating itself, for the
Christian era was but young while human
warfare was using this same terrible
agency of hurting flames unquenchable
upon the adversary and his works. Thus
navies were destroyed when war ships
were but slow cared barges, and cata-
pults the best approach to modern artil-
terv. If General Beauregard is disposed
| to complain OF the use of Greek Fire,
our commander can plead classic prece-
| dents, and stihe rebel complaints with
Anthon and Eschenburg.
! The Greek Fire she'll in use at Charles
| ton is, we learn, the invention, patented
few months since, of citizen of Buffa-
| 10, and adopted by the Government
The base of the terrible instrument is
petroleum, chemically combined with
other highly infammable ingredients, the
whole forming an utterly inextinguisha-
able compound, which, once ignited,
burns triumphant over all ordinary means
of ouenehing fire, burns even in water,
and can only be put out, by being burnt
out. This fearful war agent is contained
| in IA light metallic chamber, enclosed in
| the common form Of percussion she'll,
that. itself discharged by the object
aimed at, ignites the fire, which is scat
tered broadcast, its flames giving new
.terrors to. the perils of war. Well may
the people of Charleston be moved by
this destructive agency invoked against
them. They will receive no sympathy
however, from abroad. if the whole city
could be sown thick with FIRE shells and
! spring up at once flaming area of seeth
ling fire, the judgment were none toe
heavy for the nest IN which this infamous
rebellion was hatched. The nuritcatlen
by fire would be needed to prepare the
I site of Charleston for population loya

too complete to be sought by ordinary
processes. Algiers in the palniest day.
