Our forces will toon make an adrauce movement. Dm Gi'KflAMiGnKKK FinKATCimiLrs To.f, The reason why Gen. Gllmoro did not continue his bombardment of Charles ton with Ihe " Greek lire'' shells, wus be cause the shells sent were Ignited on the percussion principle, and lieinjr discharged from n gun elevated at on anglo of thirty eight degrees, took ihelr flight ut the same utigle, with 11 longitudinal rotary motion, base downward, and therefore struck base downward instead of noon the perrns!on end, nnd did not explode. Only two nre known to have exploded one which fell Into u warrhoure and another wbieh fell In a street. This pecutiur motion nnd descent of the shell was u new discovery in artille ry practice, then for the first time made, upd the Ordnanco Department was not furnished with n remedy for tho unlooked for contingency. To this fact alone Charleston owes the delay of the hour of its doom. I line fuses, will set mutters ull right. The gun fi nm which the shells were first fired was n 200-pounde r I'arrott, which can throw a shell no less than seven miles, when aimed at un angle of forty-five de grees. Tho first shell went over Charles ton, the gun being aimed ut too sharp on angle. Gen. Gihnnre has no less than thir ty I'urrott guns mounted llmt will throw shells plump into Charleston. Tho Greek fire burns for twenty mi miles. It will burn on the water as well as on land, und euch shell covers a surfuce of one hundred square feel with Hume. Thu shells bursts Into about one hundred ami thirty pieces, or ten times as many as thu ordlnury shell. Of course the effect of these shells will be to set Charleston lo flumes, which nothing can subdue. In uddillon to the Greek fire shells, n large quantity of improved shrnmiel shell, made by the Inventor of the Greek lire shell, ond contalulug from five huuilred to a thou sand bullets each, have been sent to Mor ris Island, lo bo IrunHorrcd tbi-nco Into the rebellious city In a manner not very pleas ing to tic enemy. These shells aro tired rfllli time fuses, and arc very destrurthe of life. The celebrated .100 pound I'urrott gun which Gen. Gilmore Ims, weighs 27c 000 pounds. Jt took two thouruod men nine nights to get the monster into position, the droy teams breaking down seven uighls in succession, the enemy shelling the parly all the while, and men being killed nightly. Nothing was dno with it by day, Ihe gun being covered with bunhes to couctai it from the enemy's fire, The diameter of Ihe bore is ten Inches, the charge ol powder is twuity-lhe pounds, und the shell that goes out of it is as high as a flour barrel, weighs three hundred pounds, and contains scvern teen pounds of mortar powder, Tho exe eulion of one ol these shells ou Sumter is cousidcred'iquul o three 200-pound shells. Hut two of these immense rilled guns have been made, although twenty more have been ordered for tho army. None have been ordered for the navy. Gen, Gilmore at first had only one, but now has another.
