THE ECHOES OF Fort SUMRER.-Gcn. Gilmore
success in battering down with his 200-pounder
Parrot guns the walls OF Fort Sumter, seems to
have produced more excitement and discussion III
Europe than any event Of the war. Such featS OF
artillery practice amaze and confound them, and
have already given them more OF respect for Us
than any ether of our achievements. The London
Army and Nary Gasette says that the Americans
have constructed and put to service at Charleston,
cannon of calbres which to the English are known
only as Of theoretical and probable attainment
sBefore such projectiles as these guns carr, the
preaching of masonry, whether Of brick or stone,
is but question of short time." "uad such guns
been available in the trenches before Sebastvpo,
the Allies would have made short work, not only
of the Redan and Malakoff, and bastion du mai,
but of the shipping and Of the forts on the other
side of the harbor." 1t is undenable, continues
Mr.. Russell, 'fhat the establishment of few OF
Maj.-Gen. Gimore's batteries before Sebastopol,
on the 18th of October, 1854, instead of the tre-
mendous armau eLt Of which Lord Granville
boasted, would have knocked the place Into a
cooked hat in twenty-tOur house" Even that
terrible shipthe Earrior would not be safe against
the new American artillery, they are beginning 10
suspect; for the same authority says: s,UnqueS-
tionably the Admiralty would be rather nervous
about the result of firing 450-pouid shot against
the side of the Warrior, ut the distance Of 200
yards, notwithstanding the experiments" &c. The
question then arises, Have the English any such
guns? And they are forced to loud negative.
sIn face of these facts, we are obliged to record
that our scientific officers are of opinion that the
best English gun for preaching purposes is the old
68-pounder ~ 1t is amentaEle confession, but
it seems to have an excellent effect upon the soul;
for the .4rmy and Nary Gazette deduces the fol-
lowing remarkable bit Of philosophy from the
startling facts which have been revealed to it, "Do
not let us pooh-hooh the Americans If We ale
wise, it is the last thing VIC ought to do" Yes,
yes.

The Bursted Blakely Gun.

We have already announced the bursting at
Charleston, on last Saturday morning, of one of
the mammoth English guns. ct the time of writ
ing no particulars Of the affair had reached US; but
from all We know of such ordnance, we think it
likely that the catastrophe was brought about by
an attempt to make long shot-a shot that should
astonish the Yankees and throw the performance
OF their heaviest pieces into the shade.
These guns were never designed for this sort of
practice, and cannot stand it. They arc fashioned
and designed for direct shots at short ranoc when
the weight of their proectiles will crush irresisa
bly, through earth, stone or iron. The turret of
Monitor would be caved in by one plumb shot as
completely rs tall silk hat would be crushed by
blow ofthe fist Of strong man. But the barrel of
the gun must be horizontal Or the muzzle depreSs-
ed. Even in horizontal position the inertia Of
the bolt and the friction to be overcome cause as
much stain on the sides of the gun as any attaina
ble thickness of metal can withstand
But the muzzls being elevated, say fifteen de-
greeS, which is necessary when greater range is
10 be attained, the immense weight of the belt from
five to seven hundred poundsis superadded to the
already great strain upon the sides, and the burst
ing Of the piece is a matter Of course. This fact
is well known in England, and among our scientific
naval men.
1t will be recollected that the Yankees burst
their 800 pound PARROT gun at the first shot with
the muzzle up, while throwing shell from the CEN
ire of Norris Island into Charleston, distance of
about five miles. In the entire absence of knowl-
edge of the facts, it will be borne in mind that we
merely suggest the elevation of the muzzle as the
cause Of the bursting--wc assert nothing. 1t is
possible that the gun or the powder may hare
been 5ld
The new South. [volume] (Port Royal, S.C.) 1862-1867, 1863-10-03

While speaking of this gun it may be interesting
to our readers to know something Of the powder
used in firing it. The grains vary in size from the
bigness of damson seed to that Of peach stone.
and look like irregular fragments of unburnished
ebony. There is nothing about them to indicate
the quality of the substance.
We are informed by the scientific that this pow
der is made on the principle of what is known
among boys as a"spit DEVIL" that is, it is so mix
ed as not to explode all at once like the fine grain
powder, the inertia of the bolt being so great that
an instantaneous explosion of the whole charge
would burstthe gun, but the ignition of the pow
der being gradual at first, the ball is started with
out any great strain on the rifles of the piece, and
Git is contended by the friends of the great gun) is
always successfully launched on its mission of de.
struction.
Gen. Beauregard cannot hereafter Ee ranked
among the advocates of monster cannon at least OF
this nation, as we learn upon the best authority
that he has telegraphed the authorities that they
need not send him any more ofthem.-Rich. Whig.

DRAFTED MEN ENTITLED TO RoUNTY.-It is not
generally known that drafted men are entitled to
and receive precisely the same bounty as volun-
teers. Section II of the act approved March 8,
1868, &c for enrolling and calling out the national
forces and for other purposes provides that all
drafted me /, s.when called into service, shall be
paced on the same footing, in all respects, as
volunteers for three years during the war; nclu-
ding advance pay and bounty, as now provided by
law" This provision was doubtless inserted on
the idea that all our soldiers, whether drafted men
or original volunteers, must be considered as vol
unteers from the very nature Of our government,
the draft itself having been the voluntary act Of
the representatives of all classes of the American
voting population in Congress assembled.

The Sale of Forfeited Lands.

The new Instructions, under which the direct tax
Commissioners are to attempt the regeneration OF
South Carolina, are in substance as follows:
The sales to be made by the Commissioners are
of such lands as were bought in by them Tor the
United States in February and March last, amount
ing to some 10000 acres. Certain of these lands
were selected for naval and military purposes
others have been designated and set apart for
charitable purposes others again for educational
purposes.
All the rest of the lands so purchased are to be
sold after 60 days notice. according to the provs-
ions of the act The lands selected for naval and
military purposes are ordered to be surveyed, ac-
curate drafts of the surveys to be made, and one
copy to be deposited with the Secretary of the
Treatury. Those designated for school purposes
are also to be surveyed, and plat of the same
made, definitely describing them, and copy filed.
These lands are to be let by the Commissioners
for terms not exceeding five years, and the rents
and issues arc to be received by them and appro-
priated to the education of colored youth, and OF
such poor white persons as may apply for the ben
eft of the provision. The lands preserved for
charitable purposes are to be divided into lots OF
twenty acres EACH and certificates to be issued to
the heads of falies of colored citizens, those to
be preferred who, from their meritorious services
and industrious habits, may constitute good moral
examples to persons of their class.
The colored citizens to whom certificates are Is
sued are to be required to pay for the same sum
not less than one dollar and quarterper acre, the
amount to be determined upon BY the Commission
ers according to the value of the respective lots.
The residue of the lands will be sold for farms to
be divided into tracts Of not more than $50 acres
each. A part of the tracts purchased in by the
Commissioners lying adjacent to the harbor below
Beaufort on ST. Helena Island where suitable site
for city exists is to be divided into city lots.
The town Of Beaufort is to be sold according to
the pr sent divisions ofthe town property. These
sales are TO be made for cash, except to persons in
the naval or military service, who are to receive
certificates upon paying quarter of the purchase
money, and the residue in three years from the
dates Of sale. The minimum price of the farms is
fixed at Sl.25 per acre, exclusive of the farm build
ings which are to be appraised by the commission
ers at their cash value.
If, on being exposed to sale, any farm shall not
be bid for at onethird its appraised value, it shall
not be sold, but shall be exposed second time,
and if then not sold at ope-fth its value, it should
be advertised third time, and sold for what it
will bring The Commissioners are required to
keep books in which to enter all their proceedings,
descriptions Of land sold, price of each tract sold
and date and terms Of sale, which books are to be
deposited with the Secretary of the Treasury
