Eno!ish and American Guns.

We make the following extract from leading
article, on the ordnance used by General GILL
MORE in the bombardment of Fort Sumter, in the
London Army and Macy Gazette of Sept 18th -
cit may be concluded as certain, that the guns
used by GILMORE were PARRoTTs rifed ordnance
Their work has been effectually done. Had such
guns been available in the trenches before Sebas-
topol, the allies would have made short work, not
olly of the Redan and Malakoff, and baStion du
mat, but of the shipping and of the forts at the
other side of the harbor. 1t mustnot be supposed
that Sumter was himsy, gingerbread fort 1t
was constructed of peculiar kind of hard, close
brick, six and seven feet thick; the arches of the
casemates and the supporting pillars were of eight
and nine feet in thickness. The faces presented
to the preaching batteries must have subtended at
at 8, 500 yards an exceedingly small angle, and
; tn, elevation of the fort was low. But great
was the accuracy of the fire, that vast proportion
of the shots struck it so great the penetration,
that the brickwork was perforated like rotten
cheese; SO low the trajectory, that the shot, in
stead of plunging iato, passed throughthe fort,
and made clean breaches through bofhAwalls.
Now the guns that did this work cost, waubelieve,
Just one-fourth of our ordnance cwt for cwt.

itself is finely riaed, with grooves varying from

THE LESSONS OF OUR wAR@The London Times

closes discussion of these topics as follows =
"We find two great principles steadily pre-
served In American practice. In artillery, the
ealbre of the gun and the weight of the shot are
made as great as possible in ship-buildmg the
turret pattern prevails over every other. Ihese
principles too would appear to be In some de-
gree connected, if we are to assume-Wnat mas
not yet been proved-that only turret shlps can
carry very heavy guns But neither one p1ncl-
pie nor the other has yet been recognized IN this
country Wenre building turret ships, 1t Is true
among other models but We have not gwen them
any preference, while such thing as 4oo-poun-
der or 500-pounder gun has not been conceived;
Our artllerists, indeed, have explicitly condemned
the very doctrine on which the DAHLGLEN sySoem
Of ordnance is ssed-that Of throwing heavy pro
iectiles with low velocity-and prefer to rely on
velocity rather than weight 1t must be remem-
bered, however, as explanatory, IN some degree
of the contrast between the two systems, tnat the
Americans are shaping all their efforts according
to the exceptional requirements OF speclal eiief
eency. They build their ships for coast Work ana
harbor service only. 1t is by no means certain
that any one of the ironclads engaged IN the sege
of Charleston could be sent to sea with safety.
They were intended only for such work as they.

our experiments are far more extensive. Never

Before we can form, however, any sale conclu-
sions, it will be necessary to ascertain with aceu-
racy what means were employed on each occasion
bv either side, and in what respects either the
attack or defence had improved or degenerate,dt
between the first assault and the second. AT
present we see that the assailants have not oniy
gained considerable advantages, but have achieved
very remarkable feat If Fort Sumter were a
good specimen of modern fort, we shouid say
that forts had been fairly beaten by guns but we
know that the fort was only piece OF patchwork'
and we are by no means that it was effectively
armed. We therefore suspend our Judgment, and
content ourselves with indicating the successive
incidents which this war produces for our mstruc-
ton and guidance"

The current of events affords many striking
commentary on the predictions and expectations
of the rebels at the outbreak of the rebellion.
few days after the fall of Fort Sumter the Rich
mond Examiner said:
The slave population of the South can support
in comfort four times as many people as we have
within our confines. We can keep million OF
men under arms and never suffer for want OF COM
Portable food and clothing.
AS commentary on this text read the following
item, now going the rounds of the press:
The South Carolina papers are discussing the
question how the slaves are to be fed next winter,
more especially as the slaves from Mississippi
and Alabama ar pouring in, and the corn crop is
not large. -

On Carolina Bunny coast
Where first secession raised its boast,
And swore to.whip the Yankee host,
Appeared our gallant Gilmore.
The rebel front stretched out afar
To guard the city and the bar,
But all was shortly knocked ajar,
When came our gallant Gilmore

Soon found he could not play the card,
With gallant Yankee Gilmore.
The walls of brick and banks of sand,

Came tumblng TO the brny strand.
When spoke our gallant Gilmore
To cheer the darkness ofther night,
And aid their feeble legal sight,
We sent them up a little light,
In shells from gallant Gilmore.
Poor Beauregard was struck with fright,
And women swoor ed in awful plight,
AS laundering fell these Northern Lights.
Lnup by gallant Gilmore.
They deemed they saw the dawn of doom,
The Judgment "Angel" sure had come,
Forewarning OF their final hour,
Sent by our gallant Gilmore.

And avalanches reach the plain,
So Sumter melted to the main.
