Gen. GilllMOres' Artillery.

The success of Gen. Gilmore, first at the siege
Of Fort Pulaski aud recently in the demolition of
Fort SUMTER has made every thing in relation to
the guns he has used SO effectively interesting to
the public, and as there are some facts regarding
the range and weight of the pieces which are not
generally known, we purpose giving such Of them
to our readers as could not be considered contra
baHd.
The latest victory of Gillmoro--we do not say
the last, for others will crown his energy and abll
ty before the flag of our country waves over the
buildings Of Charleston perhaps the greatest
triumph yet achieved by artillery over Formidable
fJfi1aatons previously presumed to be impregna-
blo to shot and shell Placing bis batteries in
such position as to command and damage to some
extent the works Of the enemy, and then by gro-
dual approaches to advance his guns until limited
distance ensures perfection of range and certain
destruction, has been the aim Of Gen. Gilmore,
aud where the interposition Of other works inter
Iered with point-blaDk rauge, be has Obylated
the difficulty by firing over the distinctions, as in
the ccse of Sumter, which ho bombarded over
Wagner and Gregg.
Different correspondents give different stories
relative to the kind Of guns used on Morris Island;
but as the one hundred, pound Parrott is the one
which they all agree has been most generally
brought into requsitOn we confne our remarks
to that giving the weight OF its shot and she'll and
the distance it will carry at different elevations.
To give proper idea, however, Of the vast iul'
proyements recently made in artillery, it may moi
be amiss here to give the ranges Of the guns ID
general use until date but shortly anterior to The

The Mexican Question.
ACCEPTANCE OF THE THRONE BY THE
ARCHDUKE MAMMALIAN.

From The Memorial Diplomatique Of Aug. l5.
We are happy to be able to announce that bis
Imperial Hghness the Archduke Ferdinand Max
imilian accepts with the consent Of bis august
brother, the Emperor Of Austria, the crown ofthe
new Mexican Empire,
The first oyertures made to the Court Of Vienna
touching the candidature Of the Archduke Maxi
milan to the throne Of Mexico dated from the
month Of October, 1861. The Emperor Francis
Joseph then replied that, although appreciatiug at
its just value the preference accorded to bis dy-
nasty, be left bis brother sole arbiter to decide
when tho moment should come to take definite
resolution. But as it was important to know it,
and to what point, the Court of Vienna would be
willing to realize the wishes of tho Mexican na-
ton, bis Apostolic Majesty sent Uount ReChberg,
Immediately after the first confidential overturos
with the Court Of the Tuileries, to the chateau
possessed by the Archduke Maximilian at Tries
tie, where his Imperial Highness habitually resides.
The Minister Of Foreign Affairs was instructed
to represent to the Prince the high destiny to
which the Mexican people and the personal SYM
pathies Of Napoean Ill would call him on the
successful issue Of the French expedition, As

1t will thus 10 seen that at an elevation Of thir
ty five degrees u hollow shot weighing eighty
pounds can be thrown from one hundred pound
Parrot S,i53 yards, or about one-ffth Of mile
less than five miles 10 little over half a minute
With charge Of No. 5 powder, it is asserted, the
same shot, at the same elevation, can be thrown
SS4j yards Or fory-dye yards over five miles, A
two hundred pound Parrott, with tho service
charge of sixteen pounds Of powder, would prove
even more effective, while the value Of the three
hundred pounGer, reported to have been injured
before Charleston, yet remains to be tested. THIS
is huge gun, weighing twenty-seven thousand
pounds, with diameter Of bore of ten inches or
three and sixteenth inches more than that Of the
two hundred FOUNDER, and requiring charge Of
twenty pounds.
From the facts above set forth it can be easily
seen how rapid and vast have been the changes IN
artillery-changes which, had we the space, would
bo made even moro astonishing by descriptions Of
other kinds Of artillery which have been brought

The reason why the Fifty,fourth Massachusetts,
regiment (cOOred) did not take New York in its
way to its Southern destination is now stated in
full by the Journal Of Commerce. 1t seems that
GOyeruOr Andrew notified Superintendent Of
Police, Kennedy, that this regiment was to pass
through New York, and that he intended they
should land in the upper part of the city, so as to
march through the length Of Broadway TO the
Battery. To this arrangement the Superinten.
dent objected, apprehending trouble from such an
exhibition, but Governor Andrew persisted; until
after much negotiation, the matter was referred to
the Secretary of War, who yielded to the remon.
strances Of Mr. Kennedy and ordered the reg.
ment 10 bo embarked from Boston for South
Carolina. 1t seems that the day appointed for
the landingin New York was the Monday upon
which the riot began, The consequences of tho
appearance oil this negro regiment in the streets
Of New York, under such circumstances, can be
readily estimated No one can doubt that they
would have been at once overpoSered, dlsarmed,
and slaughtered by the furious mob rendered ten
times more ierocious by such an exhibition, nor
that the riot itself would have been far more OK.
