Big Guns of the Rebels at Atlanta.


A correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune, writing from Sherman's lines in front
of Atlauta, 5uys=
In expectation Of siege, two sixty-four
FOUNDER riied guns were SOM lime since
sent from Richmond. 1t is the same kind
they used at Vicksburg-at least it throws
the same description Of shell frequently
saw there-a missile six and half inches
in diameter, acorn-shsped, with expansion
metal run upon and around the heel, one
and half inches in width, held on by
projecting Aange.
The concussion from this gun is very
heavy, shaking the heavens for miles around,
and the noise of the shell in its flight
through the air is like the howl of a demon
One or two of these ''pot-metal concerns,
as Quartermsster Figgett calls them, have
dropped in and about General Schoield's
headquarters, and are objects of curiosity.
As siege guns for battering down perma-
nent works they are, no doubt, formidable
but for ordinary field practice they are too
unwieldy.
