GREEK FIRE,

There has been SO much said of late, and SO
unsatisfactory, upon the origin, elements, and
efficacy Of Greek fire, that for our own as we'll

or in thc coupons (accruing intcrest) OF these
bondS.'
BY this plan, the Treasury Notes, now
worth some six or eight shilling per cord
would forthwith be retired from circulation and
converted into intercst-paying public securi-
tics. Instead Of whcel-barrow load OK shabby,
dirty, false and broken promises earning moth
ing and good for nothing, each public creditor
would have two or three Confederate obliga-
tons, bringing him an income OF five to fifty
thousand dollars per anGqm.
But hoT be sure Of getting the interest,"
Til, way; The taxes are heavy, and must be
paid. The amount of Gold and Silver in Dixie
is very limited; the taxes can only be PAID Ill
these coupons. And Of these, the whole amount
available-eyen allowing the debt to be One
thousand Millions-is but Sixty Millions. Every
business man and property holder must have
coupons to pay his taxes; thus the Confederate
debt-now not worth the paper It has spoiled
would at once have value lie who Is taxed
a thousand dollars per annum needs to hold
nearly seventeen thousand dollars of Conteder-
ate bonds, in order to cut off their coupons
whether past due Or soon to fall due where
with to pay hi' taxes.
Mr.. Mommnger's plan was a good one--per-
haps the best that he could have devised. fet
the Rebel Congress does not seem to have
seriously considered it. 1t falls still-bon;
simply because no one has any faith in The
stability of the Confcdcracy. There are boxes,
trunks and drawers filed with Confederate
notes all over Dixie which would be funded
forthwith if any one believed the Conicderacy
as long.liyed as even Jonahs gour1. But every
one says: my Treasury NOES will buy some
hing--I can at least buy fuel with them cord
for cord;' while long Confederate bonds would
bring just nothing ut all-so won't swap prom
ises that will buy something for Others that VIII
buy nothing" And 90 the wrctchcd impostuue
drags on, with hardly vitality enough in It's
limbs to carry il 30 he grave.
! We hold. then, that Inc Rebels do not thcrl-
selves believe they can succeed, but fight ON in
pure desperation, or in the vague hope that
something may turn up. If they outlive the
present year as Rebels, twill be because some

There is one fact which the Whisky Gamblers
seem to have forgotten. The Senate has con-
scented, and the House has consented, that the
FIVE millions Of dollars which ought to 60 into
the Treasury shall find itsway into the pockets
of mon who have speculated upon the chance
of legislative action ia their favor. Tho Excise
bill has yet 20 30 to the President and he may
esttem it his duty to exercise his prcrogaIiye OF
veto, and send the bin back to Congress, that
they may have tho opportunity to give to so
palpable an omission, by which the Treasury l.
to he deprived Of millions, sober second
thought Mr.. Lincoln has earned the title OF
"Ifonest." and the country would decide tha;
! be mere than ever deserved it should he attempt
to bring Congress to a sense Of its duty
