The London Times don't feel entirely
comfortable over the performances OF Gil
more's guns at Charleston. 1t says:
The siego guns used against shore for-
tfcations by the Fcdcrals at Charleston
have certainly done what nobody would
expect of any guns in our service. They
have battered down a fort at two miles
range; they have sheled town at FIVE
miles, and we are assured they would be
perfectly effective for the same work at
seven miles Here there can be no doubt
about the practice, and it leaves the pow
crs Of our artillery far behind. Possibly
some of the guns may have been disabled,
and other drawbacks from their general
efficacy OF which we arc not Informed, but
the great fact remains that Charleston was
shellcd from five miles distance, and Fort
Sumter knocked to pieces at about half
that range. Could our sixty-eight poun.
ders perform any such service as this? 1t
must be Observed. too, that those enormous
guns were br W Il. from a considerable dis
tance 10 the scene Of action, and that all
the necessary material had to be similarly
transported. Such exploits open new
epoch in siege operations. We do nc:

probably very much heavier. This is
