Mr. Benjamin occupied Ids previous scat Rt
the table, and at his right cat n spate, thin-fea
tured man with iron-gray hair and boat’d, and
n clear grey eye full of life and vigor lie had
n broad massive forehead, and a mouth and
chin denoting great energy and strength of
will. His face was emaciated and much wrin
kled. but his features were good, especially Id*
eyes, though one of them bote a scar, appa
rently m ’de by some sharp instrument. He
wore a suit of greyish-brown,asvi entlv of for
eign manufacture, an 1 t.s he rose, i saw that
he was about five feet ton inches ! igh, *"1 h a
slight stoop iu the shtn-lders. His manners
were simple, easy and quite fascinating,, end
lie threw an indesirable charm into bis voice,
iu he extended bis hand and said to u*s:
“I am glad to See-vou, gentlemen. You are
very welcome to URhuu tit!.'’
And this was the man who was President of
the United St vtes under Franklin Pierce, ar-.l
who is now the heart, soul anu brains, of tbs

peegi* with two propositions, say, peace wieb
disunion and Southern independence us your ’
prop .s'.Lion—and peace wiilt union, emanetpa- :
tioe. no confiscation and universal amnesty as *
ou;3. Let the citizens of all the United States'
(as they exited before the warj vote “Yes' No'
on these two prepositions, at a special election
within rixty and tys. If a maj-.nty vote disunion, |
our Government to be bound bv it.and to l“t j
you go in peace. If a majoriiy votes union, j
yours to be bound by it, aud to stay in peace, j
The * wo Governments can contract iu this way
and the people, though constitutionally unable
to and cide on peace or war, can elect wh; k of
the two pic-positions shall govern their rulers.
Let Let and Grant, mean time, agree to an
armittiee. '1 hi* would =h -athe the sword; and
if once sheathed, it would never again be
drawn by this generation.
“The plan is altogether impracticable. If
the South wire only one State, it might work;
but as i: is, i f one Southern .-tite objected to
emancipation, it would nullify the whole thing;
for you are aware the people of Virginia can
not vote slavery out of South Carolina, nor the
people of South Carolina vote it out of Vir
ginia.”
“But three fourths of the States can amend
the Constitution. Let it be done iu that way;
in any way, so that it be done by the people.
I am not a statesman or ,a politician, and I do
not know just how sftch a plan could be car
ried out; but you get the idea, that the peo
ple shall decide the question.”
“That the majority shall decide it, you
tne*n. We seceded to rid ourselves of the ru'e
of the majority, and this would subject us to
it again.”
“But the majority must rule finally, either
with bullets or ballots,”
*« lam not so sure of that. Neither current
events nor history show that the majority rules
or evc-r did rule. The contrary, I thiuk, is true.
Why, sir, the man who should go before the
Southern people with such a proposition, with
arty proposition which implied that the North
ivas to have a voice in determining the domes
tic relations of the South, could not live here
a dav He would be hanged to the first tree,
without judge or jury.”
“Allow me to dcubt that. 1 think it more
likely that ho woo'd be hanged if ha let the
Southern people, know the majority couida’t
rule.” I replied. Bunting.
“I h ive no fear if that,” rejoined Mr. DavdS,’
also trailing most good bumoiedly. “1 give
you leave to proclaim it fiom every house top
iu the South , ;
“But, seriously, sir you lot Urn majority rule
in a single State, why not li t it rule iu the
wtj’ lo country ?
‘Because the States are independent and sov-
* 1 hen we are not a people but a partnership /
‘That is all ’ •
•Your very name, sir, ‘United States,’ implies
that.’ Said Mr. Benjamin. ‘But tell me, are
the terms you have mimed—emancipation, cotl
ti-emion ami universal amnesty—the teima
which Mr Lincoln authorized you to offer us?
‘No sir; Mr Liacolu did not authorise me to
offer toil any terms. But I think boil) he and
tie Not them people, for the sake of peace,
would concent to some such conditions.’
01.' SK OF Tlta INTERVIEW.
‘■They are very generous,” replied Mr. Davis,
for the'first time during the interview showing
some ;'.n“!')*feeiicg But amnesty, sir, applies
to eri .ainals. We have committed no crimp,
Cos tfi*’ a'ion Is of no account, imlefs you can
enforce it. And emancipation ! You have hl
- t-mancifiiUe-l nearly two millions of our
slaves, and if you will take c ire of them you
may e;n .ocipate the rest. I had a lew when
the war began. I was of some use to them ;
they never were of an’y to rue. Against their
will you “emancipated" them, and you may
U’.eipate” every negro in the Coidederaey
but we will, be ftoo ! Wo will govern ourselves.
We will do it if wc have to see every Southern
plantation sacked and every Southern city in
ilamt-s ’’
“I see, Mr Davis, it is usplc's to con tin no
the eonveisotion,’’ I replied, “and you will
pardfgi us, if -we have seemed to piwss our
views with too much pertinacity. Welove the
old flag, and that must be our apology for in
truding upon veil at ail.”
“You have not.intruded upon me,” he repli
ed. .assuming his-uaual manner. “I am glad to,
have met you both. I once loved the bid flag
a« well as you do; I would have died lor it;
but now it is to me only the emblem of oppres
sion.’ ’
“I hope the day may never come, Mr. Davis,
when I say that, said the Colonel.”
A half Ikuk’s conversation upon other topics,
not of public interest, ensued, and then we rose
t > so. As we dill tut the Rebel President
gave me bis hand and, bidding tae 4 kind
ly good bye. express the hope of seeing me
again iu Richmond iu happier times, when
peace should have returned; but- with the Col.
his parting was particularly cordial.
Taking liis band in both of his, he said to him:
•Colonel, 1 respect your'character and mo
tives, and wish you well; I wish you every
good I can wish you consistently with the in
terCrt of Cfie Confederacy.”
“ The quiet, sliaightfot watd bearing nndunag
.nificient moral courage of our “tl/hting par
son” had evidently itnp'essed Mr. Davis very
favorably.”
As weflvere leaving the room be added,
“Say to Mr Lincoln front mo, that I.shall at,
any time be pleaded to receive proposition for
peace on the basis of our independence. I will
be useless to approach me with any other ”
TVhe.t wc went out Mr. Ben j amin called Judge
Oould, who had been waiting during the whole

Richmond, August 25‘h, 18G4. j
81 r—Numerous publications which have re
cent y appeared in the journals of the United
States, on the subject ol informal overtures for
peace between the two Federations-of Slates
now at war on this continent, render it desir
able that you -should be fuily advised of the
•views aud policy of this Government bn a mat
ter ot such paramount importance. It is like
wise proper that you should be accurately in
formed of what Iras occurred on the several
■occasions mentioned in the published state
turn! s.
You have heretofore been furnished with
copies of tin* tvr.nd'esto issued by the Congress
of the Oonfedertt'e skates, with the-approval of
the President-, on the 14th June last, and have
dcuibt!e.*3 acted in conformity with the resolu
tion wb“:h requested that copies of thi* mani
'i'esto should-be Uhl before the foreign Govern
mnls “Theprinciple*, sentiments end pur
poses by which these States have been, and
are stiff actuated,” are s t forth in that paper
•with all the authority due to the solemn decla
ration of the Legislative and Executive De
partmsnts of this Government, and with a
ness which leaves no room for comment
■or explauatioif. Iu a few sentences it is point
ed out that all we ask? is immunity from in
terference with our internal peace and pros
perity, “and to be left in the undisturbed ea
joyment of those inalienable rights of dfe, lib
, eny and the pursuit of happiness, which our
common ancestors declared to bo the equal
heritage of nil parlies'to the social compact.
| them forbear aggressions upon us, and
| the war is at an entf. If there be questions
! which require adjustment by negotiation, we
j kav-.: ever been willing and are still willing to
enter into c -rnmunication with our adversaries,
in a spirit of peace, of equity and manly frank
ness." The manifseto closed with the declara
tion that “we commit our cause to the enliglt
entd judgment of the world, to the sober re
flections of oar adversaries themselves, and to
the solemn and righteous arbitrament of Hea
ven.'.’
Within .\ vr-rv few weeks jitter the publica
cation of this manifesto, it seemed to have
met with the response from President. Lincoln.
In the early part cf last month a letter was re
ct Ived by Gan. Lee. from Lieut Gen. Grant, iu j
the following words:
“HtcAsqrABTSK? Armtof the U. State*, j

“Your obedient servant,
“U. P. Grant,
“Lieut. General L'. S A."
On the reference ot this letter to the President
hie ani honied Col. Oul.J to meet the persons
named in Gen. Grant’s letter, and Col. Ould,
<tfier seeing them, returned to Fdchmond and
reported to the President, in the presence of the
Secretary of War aqd myself, that Messers,
and (attarne had net said aaytkinf t«
him about his duties ac Commissioner for ex
change of prisonets. but that they asked per
mission to come t ■ Richmond for the purpose
of seeing the Fre.- lent; that th®v came with
the knowledge and approval of President Lin- !
coin and under his pa*s; that they were infer- !
mal messengers sent with a view’of paving the I
way tor a meeting of foi mal Commissioners I
authorized to negotiate for peatx*, and desired j
to communicate to President Davis the views ot [
Mr. Lincoln and to obtain the President s views j
in return, so as to arrange for a meeting of j
Commissioners.' Cos!. Ould stated that |he had 1
told them repeatedly that it was useles to come
to Richmond to talk.of peace on any other
terms than the recognized independence of the
Confetlei acy, to which they said R-ey were
aware of that, and that they were nevertheless
confident that their interview would result in
peace The President on thi* report of Col.
Ould, determined to permit them to come to
Richmond under his charge.
On the evening of th v ltsih July, Col. Ould
conducted these gentlemen to a hotel in Rich
mond, where a room was provided for them
in which they were to remain under surveii
!au-;e duting their stay hero, and the next
morning I received the following letter-:
“Spotswood House, i
“Richmonl, Va, July 17th, 1864 j.
“lion J. P. B-rk-niu, Secretaiy of State of
C. S. A :
“Dear Sir—Tito undersigned, James F. Jac’
quesa, of Illinois, and James R. Gilmore, of
Massachusetts, most respectfully solicit an in
terview with President Davis. They visit Rich
mond as private citizens, and have no official
character or authority ; but they are fully pos
sessed of the views oi the United-States Gov
ernment relative to an adjustment of the dif
ference* now existing bc-tvveen tbe North and
the South, and have little doubt that a free in
terchange of views between President Davis
and themselves would open the way to such
official negotiations as would ultimate iu re
storing peace to the two sections ot our dis
tracted country.
“They, therefore, ask au interview with the
President, and, awaiting your reply, arc.
“Most truly and respectfully,
“Your obedient servants,
“James F. Jacqufss,
“James R. Giemobe.
The word “official” is underscored, and the
wonl peace doubly tutdetscored in tile original.
After perusing the ie'tcr, I invited Coi. Ould
.to conduct the writers to my office, and, cn
their arrival, stated to t icm that they must be
conscious they could not be admitted to an in
terview with the President without informing
mo mere fully of the object of their mission,
and satisfying me that they come by request of
Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Gillmore relied that they
came unofficially, but with the knowledge and
at the desite of Mr. Lincoln; that they thought
(he war had gono far enough; that, if could
never end, except by some sort of agreement;
that the agreement might as well be made now
as ttfter further bloodshed ; that they km-w bv
the rectut. address of the Confederate Uongress
that #e were willing to make peace; that they
admitted that proposals oaght to come front
the North, and that they were prepared to
make these proposals by Mr. Lincoln’.: authori
ty; that it was necessary to have an informal
understaudihg in advance of regular negotia
tions, for, it Commissioner* were appointed
without some such understanding, .limy would
meet,'quarrel and separate, leaving the parties
more bitter against each other than before;
that they keen' Mr. Lincoln's views, and would
stato theta, if pressed by the President to do
so, and desired to iearn lie, in,return.
I again insisted on feme evidence that they
came from Mr. Lincoln, and in order to satisfy
ute Mr. Gilmore referred to the fact that per
mission for their coming through our lines had
beat, asked officially by Gen. Grant in a letter
to General Lee, aoa that General Grant, in that
letter, had asked that this request should be
referred to President Davis. Mr. Gilmore then
showed me a card, written and signed by Mr.
Lincoln, requesting Genera! Graft to aid Mr.
Gilmore and friend in pas-ing through his lines
into tbe Confederacy. Col. J. qucsS then said
that his name was not put on the card for the
•reason that it was earnestly desired that their
visit e-honkl be kept secret; that he had come
into the Confederacy a year ago, aud had visit
ed Petersburg on a similar etrand and that it
was feared that if his name should become
known that some of those who had formerly
me!,him iu Petersburg would conjecture the pur
pose for which he came. He said that the
ter As-of peace which they would offer to the
President would bo honorable to the Confeder
acy, that they did r.ot desire that the Conleder
r.cy should acce pt any other terms, but would
be glad to havo my promise, a* they gave theirs,
that their visit should be kept a profound secret
if it failed to resuit in peace; that it would not
be just that either p u-ty shcukl seek any advan
tage by divulging tbe l:*et of their overture for
peace, if unsuccessful, as I assented to this re
quest, an*} than, rising said:
“Do I uederstand you to state distinctly that,
you come as messengers from Mr. Lincoln lor
tae purpose of agreeing with the [‘resident as
to the proper mode of inaugut ating a formal
negotiation for peace, charged by Mr. Lincoln
with authority for stating his own views and
rerviva those of President Davis?” Both an
svreretl in the affirnwitive, and I then said that
the President-would see them at my office the
same evening, at 9 p. m., that, at least, I pre
sumed be would, but if ho objected after bear
ing my report, they should be informed. They
were then recommitted to the charge of Colonel
Ould, with the understanding that they were
to bo reconducted to my office at the appointed
hour, unless otherwise directed.
This interivew, connected with the report
previously made by Colonel Ould, left on my
mind the decided impression that Mr. Lincoln
was averse to sending formal commissioners to
open negotiations, lest he might thereby be
deemed to have recognized thepndependence of
irie Confederacy, and that he was anxious to
learn whether the conditions on which alone
lie would be willing to take such a step, would
be yielded by the Confederacy ; that with this
view ho had piaced his messengers in a condi
lion to satisfy ns that they really came from
him, without committing himself to anything
in the event of a disagreement, to patch eokiJi
tionsas-he considered to bo indispensable.—
Oh informing the President therefore, of my
conciliator'?, be determined that no question of
form or etiquette should be an obstacle to his
receiving any overtures that promised, howev
er tornately, to result iu putting eh end to the
cartel pi which marked the oontiauacco of hos
tilities,
the President caine to.my office at (5 o’clock
in the evqpiug, and Colonel <Ji|kl came a few
moments later, wilh Messrs. -Jacquess nud
Gilmore. Tha President said to them that lie
had heard, from me, that they cuma as mes
sengers of pence from Mr. Lincoln ; that as
such they were welcome ; that the Confederacy
bad never cono-aled its desire for peace, and
that he was ready to htar whatever they had
to offer on that subject.
Mr. Gilmore then addressed the Preside!)’,
and in a few minutes had coveyed tbe infor
mation that these two gentlemen had come to
Richmond impressed with the idea that thi3
Government would accept a peace on (he ba
sis of a reconslrucfion of the Union, the abo
lition of slavery, and the grant of an amnesty
to the people of tho States as repentant crimi
nals. Iu order to accomplish the abolition of
slavery, it was proposed that there should be
a general vote of all the people of.both IVlc
ratiooa, in mas u a”d ti e majority of the v"e
thus taken was to determine that as well es aii
other disputed questions. Th- se were slated
to be Mr Lincoln’s views. The President an
swered, that as these proposals had been pre
faced by rite rematk that tha people of the
North were a m-tjoritv, and that a majority
ought to govern, the offer was iu effect, a pro
petal that the Confederate States should sur
render at discretion, admit that they had been
wrong from the beginning of the contest, sub
mit to the mercy of their enemies, sod avow
themselves to be in need of pardon for crimes;
that exteruainatioe was preferable to such dis
honor.
He statsd that if they were themselves so
unacquainU-4 vririi the form of their own gov
ernment as to make such propositions. Mr.
i Lincoln ought to have known when giving
them his views tbatrit was out of the power
of the Confederate Government to act on the
subject of tbe dames tic institutions of the sev
eral States, each State having exclusive juris
dic'ion on that point, ttill le?s to commit the
- decision of such a question to the vote of a for
eign people; that tne separation of the States
wa* an accomplished fact; that he had no au
thority to receive proposals for negotiation ex
cept by of his office as President of an inde
denaent Confederacy, and on this basis alone
must proposals be made to him.
At one period of the conversation. Mr. Gil
more made u=e of some language referring to
these States as “rebels.” while rendering an
account of Mr. L ccoin's views, and apolo
: plied for the word. The President' desired
film to proceed, that no offence wag taken, and
he wished Mr. Lincoln's language to be re
pealed to him as exactly as possible Some
tiirtccr conversation took place, substantially
to the same effect as, the foregoing, when the
President rose to indicate that the interview
was at an end. The two gentlemen were then
recommitted to the charge of Col. Ould, and
left Richmond the next day.
This account of the visit of Messrs. Gillmore
and Jacques to Richmond, hae been rendered
nocessa-y by the publications made by one or
both of rhea since tkek jewrn to tfce Seated
Skates, notwithstanding tha agreement that ]
their visit was*to be kept Secret.. They have. I
perhaps, concluded that as the promises ct se
crecy was made at their request, it was possible
to disrepard it. We had no mason fur desir
ing lo conceal what had occurred, aud have,
therefore, no complaint to m.»ks ot the publi
city given to tb.e fact of the visit. 'The extrema
insvccumey of Mr. Gilltsoie’s narrative will bo
apparent to you from the foregoing bt dement.
• Yon have no doubt seen, in the Northern pa
per*, an account ol another conference on the
subject of peace, which took place in Canada,
at about the same date, between Messis. 0. C.
Clay and J P. Holcombe, Confederate citizens
ot the highest character and position, and Mr
Horace Greeley, of New York, acting with au
thority of President Lincoln.
It is deemed not improper to „ inform you
that Messrs. Clay and Holcombe, althoutgh
enjoying in an eminent degree the confidence
and esteem of the President, were strictly ac-1
curate in their statement that they were with
out any authority from this government to
treat with that of the United States, on any
subject whatever. Ye had no knowledge of
their conference with Mr. Greeley, nor of
(heir proposed* visit to Washington, till wo
saw the newspaper publications. A significant
confirmation of the truth of the statement of
Messrs. Gillmore and Jacquess that they came
as messengers from Mr. Lincoln is to be found
in the fact, That the view's of Mr. Lincoln, as
stated by them to the President are in exact
conformity with the offensive paper addressed
“to whom it raay concern,” which was sent
by Mr. Lincoln o Messrs. Clay and Holcombe
by the hands of his private Secretary, Mr. May,
and which was properly regarded by those
gentleman as an intimation that Mr. Lincoln
was unwilling that this war should cease while
iu his power to continue hostilities.

PROM CHARLESTON.
The enemy ate reported building another
battery at the mouth of Schooner Creek, on
• Morris Island, in front of Battery Bimkins, and
between Qregg aud Wagner. Battery Siatkins
and Sullivan’s Island batteries opened lire up-,
on Yankee working parties engaged upon this
batteiy.
A party of the enemy visited Legarevtlle
Saturday, aud after destroying the remaining
houses,at Legate’s “Village Place” took their
departure.
A wooden house on Ashley street, occupied
by#~ J Nickerson W“s set oa fire, on Satur
day, by some sparks from the Arsenal tower,
lho fu.nltuve was mostly saved. Th* family
lost most of their clothing and a large number
of valuable articles, which were stolen. The
house which was completely destroyed, be
longed to Mrs, Amelia. Stobel.
On Saturday afternoon Charleston was visi
ted by a most, furious shower, which,’ for
tunately. was of very short duration; but
during the five minutes pis storm was at its
heigot, several fences and innumerable shade
trees were laid low. In many cases trees were
torn up by*iho roots. Slates, tiles and tin
from the roofs of buildings were torn off and
carried in the air like so many feathers. The
rain fell in torrents, and was driven with such
force against the window panes, as io lead
many to suppose that it was hail Three or
four small houses were completely demolished.
Tha front Mr. Wiley’s store on King street was
blown out. Considerable hail fell in the
vicinity of Charleston, and the road arc block
ed up with fallen trees.
The tornado which passed over the city Sat
urday afternoon is reported to have been
equally seven) on the Islands. On James’
Island the Observatory was blown down ; a
tree was also blown across a tent, killing cue
man aud wounding three others,
were fired at the city during the day.
About nine o’clock Sunday night a terrific
expb si oil v filch shook the buildings in this
eity took place. Many supposed it to be a
two hundred pounder Parrott timefuse shell.
It appears , however, that about nine o’clock
some musketry firing was heard at Fort Sum
ter. Upon examination Cay tain Tlnguenin dis
covered thai tjie firing was about two hundred
yards from she Fort in the direction of Fort
Johnson. The firing coatic’eri a few seconds
only, when three Yankee barges were seen
coming in towards tbe West face.
Captain Lewis, with a detachment of the
Thirty-second Georgia, mounted the parapet
and opened a fire of small arms upon the par
ties, but had not fired more than one or two
vouads before a tremendous explosion occur
red about thirty feet Horn tho west face of the
fort, near the wharf. At the txnioeion the
ehemy were seen in rapid ietreat towards Mor
ris’ Island. Our men kept up the fire of small
atms until tho enemy had got enlirtly out of
sight.
The Yankees it seems hud floated down a
torpedo fiom the direction of For! Johnson. —
The torpedo eXpoded near'the wharf of the fort.
No damage was done to the wharf. The shock
was distinctly perceptible all over the fort, and
soma of the officers on tbe Southwest angle
were knocked down.
Between nine and ten o’clock Monday mor
ning, the brick store No. 21 Hayce street, re
cently occupied by Messrs. Force A. Mitchell,
was discovered to be on fire. In a few min
utes tho entire upper stories of tbe building
were in sheet of flame. The building next
east, recently occupied by Messrs. Moise & Cos.,
was partially damaged, aud the store next, west,
lately occupied by Stevenson & Cos , recrived
some slight injury. The burned building, us
well as that next east, were the property of
the Bank of Charleston, and were fully in
sured. The origin of the tire is unknown,
though a* the entire premises in that street are
unoccupied, it is strongly suspected to be in
cendiary.
