comparatively indifferent, and the psychological
moment is not come, nor IS it at hand. So
much life has been destroyed that few more or
less can make no difference; and so much prop

The special correspondent of the Daily News
in Paris, in letter OF the sth, says there can be
no doubt of the resolution of the people to re-
sist to the last:
"They will resist far longer than any one
could have supposed. When last wrote to you
on this subject stated that Paris could hold out
certainly to the first of February, and probably
for longer period. But think may now say
with tolerablc certainty that Paris is good for
the first of March. 1t is beyond all expectation,
and confess ! am surprised; but it is no more
than members of the government have again
and again predicted in my hearing for many
weeks past.
"The bombardment still goes on, but with an
effect, moral and physical, so small that any de-
scnpton OF 1t would sound almost like bravado.
That there have been deaths, and that there
has been destruction, it is impossible to deny;
and death and destruction are ALWAYS terrible 10
witness. But for the object which the Prus-
siaus have in view the prOdigious cannonade
with which Paris has been visited might as well
have been salyo of champagne bottles. The
only practical result Of the bombardment
which can fad is one Jest the more for the
little bovs of Paris. When they see a man or a
woman particularly Well dresSed-say a man
glorious in luts that argue an extraordinary
care OF his person-thcy cry out, fiat, fltl a

dens Of the Luxembourg, upon the Inyalides,
upon the observatory, upon the boulevard and

OF all hot places-the Boulevard d'Eufer. But
most OF all they seem TO converge upon the

LONDON, Jan 2S-The terms of capituation
have not been officially confirmed. Still it is
generally believed in official circles that terms
of capitulation have been submitted by Favre to
Bismarck. No paper processes to doubt it, and
there are many indications that the announce
ment is only withheld from the public until the
actual terms can be given.
The report that Bonaparte intriguers are at
work is industiously circulated, and there are
indications that prominent officials are being
interviewed for the purpose of lending their aid
TO the scheme.
Everybody is wishing for the assembling of
parliament, when something may be done, as
well as said, which will put an end to this dread
full suspense as to peace or war.

The ALABAMA CLAIMs.-Some DAYS ago the
Washing ton correspondent of the New York
Post stated that the question of the settlement
of the Alabama claims had been reopened by
the English government, and that PROPOSE
tons were made for final adjustment of the
matters in dispute. 1t was also asserted that
these propositions, involving some sacrifice of
the positions heretofore maintained BY the
United States, were not considered inadmissa-
Bile BY the president and the secretary of state,
but were earnestly opposed by Mr.. Sumner.
These statements were generally contradicted
by other Washington adyices, and did not COM
m1nd much confidence. The same correspond
ent now repeats his assertion, adding that the
matter has been made the subject of considera-
tiou at recent cabinet meeting and that, at the
instance of the administration, it was brought
before the senate committee on foreign relations
last Tuesday. There is said to be a strong dis
position on the part of the administration to
settle the long standing controversy with Great
Britain, before any bill is passed by congress
authorizing the government to audit and pur-
chase the claims for depredations by the Ala
bama, but what is the motive for haste is not
explained.
The case submit ed to the senate committee,
we are told, did not command the approval that
was anticipated in that body. Conflicting
opinions were expressed aud decided opposi-
tion was manifested by some senators TO the
proposed compromise. Nothing has, il is said
been yet communicated in writing on this sub.
ject by Mr. Thornton, the British minister, but
sall his communications relating to it have been
verbal, as the British government thought it
best to ascertain whether its proposals wonld
be acceptable to the United States before sending
any formal documents to the state department..
The administration, in like manner, desired TO
get the opinion Of the senate, before committing
itself to any course of policy, so that there may
beno risk of the rejection of treaty, fit should
be negotiated. This is the story which we give
for what it is worth.

The general opinion that the country is being
rapidly Invested of its timber, and that the eli
mate is in danger of being materially changed
by the destruction of forests, is, it seems, not
well founded, so far at least as Oregon is con-
cerned. correspondent writes from that state
that land which twenty Yeas ago was prairie is
now covered with young and vigorous growth
of timber, and that, since the settlement Of the
Willamett valley the area of timber land, instead
of diminishing has been actually increasing.
For one acre OF forest cleared, two acres Of prai
RE have already been covered with young tim
Der. We imagine that the apprehensions of a
decrease of woodland to a mschevous extent
in other localities, are unfounded, or at
least exaggerated. In regions naturally
heavily tinlbered, like Ohio and most
Of the states east of it, settlement
of course involves the destruction of forests,
and as the population increases, the process of
clearing goes on up to a certain limit, but we
have no doubt that throughout New England,
except in the pine numbering region, there is
more woodland now than there was fifty years
ago. The lumbesers do not leave cleared land
behind them, but forests hardly less dense than
they found, since the trees available for their
purpose are but small proportion of the whole
growth. In all the prairie states that have been
settled fifteen or twenty years, timber has been
cultivated more Or less successfully and there is
undoubtedly more woodland in each of them
than when they were settled.
