A trophy of Sumter.

--The London India chronicles most delicate and deserved tribute paid by one of the most distinguished men in the South to the first Englishman who in Parliament, proposed the recognition of Confederate Independence. Mr. W. H. Gregory, M. P for Galway, has just received from Charleston a fragment of the flagstaff which so long and gloriously held aloft the Southern flag over the battered ruins of Fort Sumter. This interesting trophy hears the following inscription:

Headq'rs Department of South Carolina,
Georgia, and Florida.

Charleston, &C, February 10, 1864.
Piece of flagstaff of Fort Sumter, Harbor of Charleston, sent with my compliments to W. H. Gregory, M. P for Galway. The flagstaff of that fort has already been shot down forty times by the enemy's fire since the commencement on the sings, July 10th, 1863.
