ifn Authentic Account of the (Cast Offi
cial Interview between President Da
vis and Generals Johnston and Beau
regard.
Tnc Went Florida Commercial, edited by
jfon. S. R. Mallory, who was a member of Mr.
Davis' Cabinet, publishes the following inter
esting account of the last official interview
between Mr. Davis and Generals Beauregard
and Johnston:
The views of Generals Johnston and Beau
regard of the military situation of the Confed
eracy on the 15th of April have already liven
referred to. At Greensboro’ Johnston fully
and frankly expressed to a member of the Cab
inet, an old personal friend, his conviction
that all further resistance to the Federal forces
east of the Mississippi would but augment
the suffering and desolation of the country,
without the slightest prospect of achieving in
dependence, sustaining his opinions by refer
ence to the relative positions, power and re
sources of the belligerents.
“What, in your judgment,” said his friend,
“do the best inter* *is of our people require of
the Government?”
“ We must stop f 'iting at once,” said lie.
“and secure peace on the best terms we can
obtain.”
“Can we obtain terms?”
“I think we can,” lie replied ; “atall events,
we should rnijkc the effort at once, for we are
at the end of the row.”
“ Gen. Johnston," said iiis friend, “ your
position as the chief of this army, and as the
military commander of this department, de
mands of you a frank statement ot your views
to the President. You believe that our cause
is hopeless, and that further resistance, with
the means at our command, would not only he
useless but unjustifiable, and that we should
lay down our arms and secure the best terms
we can for our people. 1 will, if you please,
state all this to the President, hut I think you
had better do so at once, and explicitly
“ Gen. Beauregard and I have been request***!
to meet the President tins evening,” he replied,
“and I will give him my opinions very expli
citly. You will not find me reticent upon
them.”
At 8 o’clock that evening the Cabinet, with
the exception of Mr. Trenholm, whose illness
prevented his attendance, joined the President
at his room. It was a small apartment, som -
twelve by sixteen feet, containing a bed. a few
chairs and a table, with writing materials, on
the second floor of the small dwelling of Mrs.
John Taylor Wood ; and a few minutes after
eight the two Generals entered.
The uniform habit of President Davis, in
Cabinet meetings, was to consume some little
time in general conversation before entering
upon tho business of the occasion, not un fre
quently introducing some anecdote or interest
ing episode, generally some reminiscence of
the early life of himself or others in the army,
the Mexican war, or his Washington experien
ces ; and his manner of relating and bis appli
cation of them were at all times very happy
and pleasing.
Few men seized more readily upon the
uprightly aspects of any transaction or turned
them to better account; and bis powers of
mimicry, whenever he condescended to exer
cise them, were irresistible. Upon this occa
sion, when the cause of the Confederacy was
hopeless, when its soldiers were throwing away
their arms and flying to their homes, when its
Government, stripped of nearly all power,
could not hope to exist beyond a few days
more, and when the enemy, more powerful
and exultant than ever, was advancing upon
all sides, true to Ids habit, he introduced sev
eral subjects of conversation unconnected with
the condition of the country, and discussed
them as if at some pleasant ordinary meeting.
After a brief time thus spent, turning ro
General Johnston, he said, in his usual quiet,
grave way, when entering upon matters of
business, “I have requested you and General
Beauregard, General Johnston, to join us this
evening, that we might have the benefit, of
your views upon the situation of the country.
Of course we all feci the magnitude of the
moment. Our late disasters are terrible : but
I do not think we should regard them as fatal.
I think we can whip the enemy yet if our peo
ple will turn out. We must look at matters
calmly, however, and sec what is left for us to
do. Whatever can be done must be done at
once. We have not a day to lose.”
A pause ensued, Gen. Johnston not seeming
to deem himself expected to speak ; when the
President said : “ We should like to hear your
views, Gen. Johnston.”
Upon this the General, without preface or
introduction—his words translating the expres
sion which his face had worn since he entered
the room—said, in his terse,, concise, demon
strative way, as if seeking to condense thoughts
that were crowding for utterance, “ My views,
sir, are that our people are tired of the war,
feel themselves whipped, and will not fight.—
Our country is overrun, its military resources
greatly diminished, while the enemy's power
and resources were never greater, and may be
increased to any desired extent. We cannot
place another large army in the field ; and, cut
off as we are from foreign intercourse. I do not
sec how we could maintain it in lighting con
dition if we had it. My men are daily desert
ing in large numbers, and are taking my artil
lery teams to aid tl. : escape to their homes.
Since Lee’s defeat 11: regard the war as at an
end. If I march out of North Carolina, her
people will all leave my ranks. It will be the
same if I proceed South through South Caroli
na and Georgia, and I shall expect to retain no
man beyond the by-road or cow-path that leads
to his home. My small force is melting away
like snow before the sun, and I am hopeless of
recruiting it. We may, perhaps, obtain terms
which we ought to accept.”
The tone and manner, almost spiteful, in
which the General jerked out these brief, de
cisive sentences, pausing at every paragraph,
left no doubt as to his own convictions. When
he ceased speaking, whatever was thought of
his statements—and their importance was fully
understood—they elicited neither comment nor
inquiry. The President, who, during the de
livery, had sat with his eyes fixed upon a scrap
of paDer which he was folding and refolding
abstractedly, and who had listened without a
change of position or expression, broke the
silence by saying in a low, even tone:
“ What do you say, General Beauregard ?"
“I concur in all Gen. Johnston has said,”
he replied.
Another silence, more eloquent of the full
appreciation of the condition of the country
than words could have beeu, succeed*#], during
which the President’s manner was unchanged.
After a brief pause he said, without a varia
tion of tone or expression, and without raising
his eyes from the slip of paper between his
fingers: “ Well, General Johnston, what do you
propose ? Y'ou speak of obtaining terms. You
know of course that the enemy refuses to treat
with us. How do you propose to obtain
terms? ”
“ I think the opposing Generals in the field
may arrange them.”
“ Do you think Sherman will treat with
you ?’ ’
“ I have no reason to think otherwise.—
Such a course would be in accordance with mil
itary usage, and legitimate.”
“ We can easily try it, sir. If we can ac
complish any good for the country, Heaven
knows I am not particuiar as to forms. How
will you reach Sherman ? ”
_ “ I would address him a brief note, propo
sing an interview to arrange terms of surren
der and peace, embracing,"of course, a cessa
tion of hostilities during the negotiations.”
“ Well. sir. you can adopt this course though
I confess I am not sangune as to ultimate re
sults.”
The member of the Cabinet referred to as
conversing with Gen. Johnston, and who wns
anxious that his views should be promptly car
ried out, immediately seated himself at the
writing table, and. taking up a pen, offered to
act as tue General's amanuensis. At the re
quest of the latter, however, the President dic
tated the letter to General Sherman, which was
written at once upon a half sheet of letter fol
ded as note paper, and signed by Genral John
ston, who took it, and said he would send it
to Gen. Sherman early in the morning ; and in
a few minutes the conference broke up. This
note, which was a brief proposition for a sus
pension of hostilities, and a conference with
a new to agreeing upon terms of peace has
been published with other letters which pass -d
between the two Generals.
On or about the 16th of April, the President,
his .Staff and Cabinet, left Greensboro to pr. -
ct-ed still further South, with plans unformed,
clinging to the hope that Johnston and Sher
man would secure peace and the quiet of the
country, but still all doubtful of the result,
and still more doubtful as to consequences of
failure.
