Ne Recognition by England or
Peace Looked for in
the summer.
From the Paris correspondence of
the London Post, March 5.
| Almost all letters coming TO Paris
from America, North and South, say
tha. an impression prevails that Eng
land and France will, ere long, apan-
don their policy of neutrality. The
letters from the South 90 so far as to
anticipate a recognition of the Con
t"deracy before the summer is over.
Periodically such reports and antici-
pations spring up in Paris, also, and
as a very lively interest is felt in the
4uestioR, NJ Drouyn de Lhuys is oc-
casionally interroa a'ed. Now. 50
far as the French Government is cou
cerned, believe l am correct in
saying that no change has been even
contemplated in the policy hith-
erto applied to the North and South.
II England were TO acknowledge the
would do so likewise; hut here, it l.
not supposed that her Majesty's Coy
ernInent intends to depart from its
neutrality. France has her Mexico,
and Eugland her Canada, and neith-
er desire war with America.

they can weary ont the North, and
rfi..ctaaily obtain better terms when

landed on Morris Island and seized all the Rebel
defchses but Forts Wagner and Gregg. The
true siege of Sumter dates from that day. On
the 18th of the same month came the disastrous
assault on Wagner. On the 14th August, Sum.
ter was shelled over the head OF Wagner, and
on the 18th began the grand bombardment, in
which the naval force under Dahlgren took
subordinate part. The monitors lying INSIDE
the bar continued thereafter to ply the various
forts with shot and shell, but never made an
attempt directly against Sumter, nor sought TO
run past that work and enter the harbor. Ali
that was done toward the destruction of Sumter
was done by the batteries which Gilmore
established on Morris Island before and
after the evacuation Of Wagner and Gregg,
which latter event took place on the 9th Sept,
1863. Shells had previously been thrown into
Charleston on the 23d August, and from that
time till the end of the year an unremitting fire
was kept up. On the 18th December COM
bined and vigorous bombardment was directed
against SUMTER and the fort was silenced, as 1t
had often been before. Its masonry deienses,
reinforced by external earthworks, were nearly
destroyed on the sea faces, and Gen. Gilmore
shortly after reported that the offensive powers
of the work were completely overcome. Still,
there was no attempt on the part Of the feet to
reduce the fort or to pass it, and Admiral Dahl
gren remained content with more or less rigid
enforcement of the blockade Of Charleston Har-
Dor. t.,
So the year 1864 wore away. Charleston
Haunted the flag Of Rebellion, and the most
ardent friend of the Union had abandoned the
hope of seeing Fort Sumter become the trophy
of direct attack. But Fort Sumter and
Charleston seem to have had all through the
war symbolical relation to the Rebel Conied-
eracy, and when the power which for four years
had defed the Union tottered to its fall, then
Sumter and Charleston fell. The wonderful
march of Sherman through South Carolina ac-
complished without an effort what all efforts
had before failed 10 accomplish, and Sumter
and Charleston both surrendered on the 18th of
February-sunendered nominally to the forces
under Gen. Gilmore, but really to the army of
Gen. Sherman which had made the longer pos
session Of the city by the Rebel military impos-
sible.
Let there be no stint to the rejoicings OF to-
day. If Sumter had fallen two years ago, it
would have been an empty triumph To-day
its possession is the possession of all the States
to which it was the bulwark. The Republic
possesses it, The Union owns it. The United
States dag flies over it. And every loyal heart
beats fast as il remembers all that has passed
since the lith Of April, 1861, and all that Is
promised,on the 14th of April 1865.

lied for the purpose The largest timber
in these "cut downs has been cut long
enough to have all the sap wood rotted
away, leaving nothing but the clear pitch
wood. The Courier says. speaking of a
spot near the village Of Freedom:
"Here they set their stump pullers at
work, pulling from fftyto one hundred
stumps each daily. according tothe diff
culties encountered. These stumps are
hauled TO Freedom village, where they
are cut and split into pieces about the
size Of very fine stove wood, and placed
in what is called basket. The basket
is wrought iron cylinder, punched full
of holes Of about Z Of an inch ia diameter
and holding half a cord. This basket is
taken by q crane, and placed in 4 retort
made to receive it. A round top cast
iron is then fitted up tight, with a pipe
from the centre, which connects with a
coil of pipe in condenser. The gas and
steam passing off from the top Of the re- :.
tort and through the condenser, comes
forth from barrel in the shape Of an ac-
id (Which is worth ten cent per gallon
among the calico printers, but is here
thrown away and red oil. The red
oil is tlleu passed through still, and
gives about half its bulk in spirits Of tur-"

The other halfis thin tar, which is
mixed with that which comes back from
.he retort.. From the bottom Of the re-
,ort the pitch which is "tried out" Of the
pitch wood by the heat applied to it,.
ZONES forth in the shape of thick tar,
here are eight or ten retofts, Which bring
orth 40 barrels Of tar week, and 7 or 8
'arrels Of spirits Of fturpentine. A cord
If pitch wood gives about three barrels
If tar, and Ia gallons of spirits, besides
vice that amount of acid. The compa-o
y have stumps enough dry to keep the
actory running till they can dig again
a the spring; and it is said that there
re stumps enough left on the plains to
sst the company for three or four years.
