I think the new rifle-barrelled cannon was a new innovation in 1861, and of course the North was able to manufacture these, while the South could neither manufacture nor import them.
IMPROVEMENT
Sorry, but they could manufacture and import new rifled-barrelled cannons.
As reported by J. Scheibert in his "La Guerre Civile aux Etats Unis" - Published in Paris in 1876 and stated in the "Ordnance Manual" by the Ordnance Dept. of the Confederate States of America, Richmond (VA) 1863, the Confederates turned themselves on a 3-inch gun and Parrott 10-LB field-pieces, lots of which were produced in the south.
The Confederates also produced a rifled mountain howitzer from 12 pounds derived from the smooth-bore one, which weighed only 50 kilograms and could be dismantled and transported on the mule back.
Moreover, the Confederate army could soon also acquire rifled guns of English construction, of course imported. (Source - J. Weller - The Confederate use of British cannons).
They were: Blakely of 10 pounds (an exemplar of which was used by Beauregard during the bombardment of Fort Sumter);
Field-pieces: Whitworths 3, 6 and 12 pounds, the latter was breech-loading and had a range of 10 km ; Armstrong, 3 inches and 12 pounds, built in two versions: breech and muzzle loading. - Source - J. Weller The Confederate use of British cannons
