TEE RECENT TRIP TO RICH-
MOND.
Mr. GibxLcrre:a Account of, the Visit to
.7e17. Davis.
J. R Gilmore (Kirk White) has
'written an article for the September
mambor of the Atlantic lifonthly ; giv
'tilt an account of the recent journey
to Richmond made by'Col. Jaques and
himself, and from it we take the fol
lowing description of the interview
held with Jefferson Davis:
The next morning, after breakfast,
- which we took in our room with Mr.
Javins, we indited a, note, Of Which
the following is a copy, to the Confed
,erate Secretary of State :
•
SrOTSVOOD HOUSE, RICHMOND, Va.,
July 17, 1864.—H0n. J. P. Benjamin,
:Secretary of State, s,c.—Dear Sir:--
The undersigned respectfully solicit
, an interview with President Davis.
, They visit Eichmond only as pri-
Tate citizens.and have no official char
acter oraathority; but they are ac
{pi:tinted .Ivith the views of the United
States Government, and with the sen
timents of the Northern people,' rela
tive to an adjustment of the .differen.
:cos existing bet Ween the North • and
the South, - and earnestly hope that
free interchange of views between
President Davis and themselves may
•open'the way to such official negotia
tions as will result in restoring peace
to the two sections of our distracted
country.
'They therefore ask an interview
with the President, and awaiting your
reply, are
'Truly & respectfully yours.'
.This was signed by both of us; and
when the judge called, as be had ap-
Toiated, we sent it, together with a
-commendatory letter I had received,
orisetting out, from a near relative of
31r. Davis, to the Rebel Secretary. In
.half an hour Judgepuld : returned,

follows my advice—and I think he
will—ho will meet you. lie will be
at church this afternoon; so, suppose
you call here at nine this evening. If
anything should occur in the mean.
time to prevent his seeing you, I will
let you. know through Judge Ould.'
* * *
After a day spent in 'our room, con
versing with the Judge, or watching
the passers by in the street—l should
like to tell who they were and how
they looked, but such information is
now contraband—we called again at
nine o'clock at the State Department.
Mr. Benjamin occupied his previous
seat at.the table, and at his right sat
a spare ; thin featured man, with iron
gray hair and hoard, and a clear grey .
eye full of life'and vigor. He had a
broad massive forehead, and a mouth
and chin denoting great energy and
strength of will. His face was :emaci
ated and much wrinkled, but his fea
tures were good, especially his eyes,
though one of them bore a scar, ap
parently made by some sharp instru
ment. Ho wore a suit of greyish
brown, evidently of foreign manufac
ture, and as he rose, I saw that he
was about five feet ten inches high,
with a slight stoop in the shoulders.
His manners were simple, easy and I
quite fascinating; and ho threw an in
diseribablo charm into his voice, as ho
extended his hand, and said to us :
am glad to sou you, gontlemot.
You Are very welcome to itiehmor4!
And this was the man who was the
President of the United States under
Franklin Pierce, and who is now the
heart, soul and brains of the Southern
Confederacy!
Ilis manner put me entirely at my
ense ; the Colonel would be at his if ho
stood before Cl.esar ; and I replied :
'We thank you, Mr. Davis. It is
not often you meet men of our clothes
and our principles in Richmond!
'Not often, not so often as I could
wish; and I trust your coming may
lead to a more frequent and a snore
friendly .intercourse between . the
North and the South!
'We sincerely hope it may!
'lir. Benjamin tells me you have
asked to see me, to'---,
And ho paused, as if desiring we
should finish the sentence. The Colo
nel replied :
'Yes, sir. We have asked this in
terview in the hope that you may sug
gest some way by which this war can
be stopped. Our people want peace;
your people do, and your Congress has
recently said that you do. We have
come,to ask how it can be brought
about.'
'ln a very simple way. Withdraw
your armies from our territory, and
peace will come of itself. We do not
seek to subjugate you. We aro not
waging an offensive war, except so fax
as it is offensive-defensive—that is, so
far as we aro forced to invade you to ,
prevent your invading ns. Let us al
one and peace will come at once.'
'But wo cannot let you alone so long
as you repudiate the Union. That is
the one thing the Northern people
will not surrender.'
'I know. You would not deny to
us what you exact for yourselves—no
right of self-government'
'No, sir! I remarked. 'We would
deny you no natural right. But we
think Union essential. to peace ; and
Mr. Davis, could two people, with the
same language, separated by only an
imaginary linc; Hap at peace with
each other ? Would not dispute con
stantly arise, and' cause almost con
stant war between them ?'
'Undoubtedly, with this generation,
You have sown such bitterness at the
South, you have put such an ocean of
blood between the two sections, that
I despair of seeing any harmony in
my time. Our children may forget
this war, but we cannot.'
'I think the bitterness you speak of
sir,' said the Colonel, 'does not really
exist. We must talk hero as friends;
our soldiers meet and fraternize with
each other; and I feel sure that if the
Union were restored a more friendly
feeling would arise between us than
has ever existed. The war has made
ns know'and respect each other bet
ter than before. This is the view of
very many Southern men ; I have had
it from many of them, your leading
citizens.'
'They arc mistaken,! replied Mr. Da
vis. 'They do not understand South
ern sentiment. How can We feel any
thing but bitterness towards men who
deny us our rights? If you enter my
!Muse and drive me out of it, am I not
your natural enemy ?'
'You put the case too strongly. But
.we cannot fight forever; tho war must
end at some time; we must finally a
gree upon something;. can we not a
gree now and stop this frightful car-
rnage? We are both Christian men,
Mr. Davis. Can you, as a Christian
man, leave untried any means that
May lead to peace ?'
'No, I cannot. I desire ponce as
much as you do. I deplore bloodshed
as much as you do; but I feel that not
ono drop of the blood shed in this war
is on my hands ; I can look up to my
God and say this. I tried all in my
power to avert this war. I saw it
coming, and for twelve years I work
ed night and day to prevent it, but I
could not. Tho North was mad and
blind; it would not let us govern our
selves; and so tho war came, and now
it must go on till the last man of this
generation falls in his tracks, and his
children seize his musket and fight his
battles, unless you acknowledge our
right tb self-government. We aro not
fighting for slavery. We are fighting
for independence; and that or exter
mination we Will have.'
'And there are at Yeast four and a
half millions of us left; so you see you
have a work before you,' said Mr.
Benjamin, with a decided sneer.
'We have no wish to exterminate
you,' answered the Colonel. be
lieve what I have said, that there is
no bitterness between the Northern
and Southern people. The North, I
know, loves the South. When Peace
comes it will pour money and means
into your hands to repair the waste
caused by the war, and it would now
welcome you back and forgive you all
the loss and bloodshed you have cau
sed. But wo must crush your armies
and exterminate your Government.
And is not that already nearly done?
You are wholly without money and at
the end of your resources. Grant has
shut you up in Richmond. Sherman
is before Atlanta. Had you not, then
better accept honorable terms while
you can retain yoUr prestige and save
the pride of the Southern people ?'
Mr. Davis smiled, 'I respect your
.earnestness, Colonel, but you do not
seem to understand the situation. We
are not exactly shut up in Richmond.
If your papers toll the truth, it is
your capital that is in danger, not
ours. Some Weeks ago Grant crossed
the Rapidan to whip Leo and take
Richmond. Lee drove him in the first
battle, and then Grant executed what
your people call a brilliant 'flank
'movement,' and fought Leo again. Lee
drove hiM a second limp, and then
Grant made another 'flan% movement'
and so they kept on, Lee whipping
and Grant flanking, until Grant got
where he is now.
'And what is the net result ? Grant
has lost seventy-five or eighty thous
and men, more than Leo had at the
outset, and is no nearer taking Rich
mond than at first ; and Lee, whose
front has never been broken, holds
hint completely in cheek, and has men
enough to spare to invade Maryland
and threaten Washington ! Sherman,
to be sure, is before Atlanta ; but sup
pose he is, and suppose ho takes it ?
You know that the farther ho goes
from his base of supplies; the weaker
he grows, and the more disastrous de
feat will be to him. And defeat may
come. So, in a military view, I sh'ld
certainly say our position was better
than yours.
'As to money, we are richer than
you are. You smile, but admit that
our paper is worth nothing; it an
swers as a circulating medium, and
wo, hold it all ourselves. If every dol
lar of it was lost we should, as we have
no foreign debt, bo none the poorer.
But it is worth something; it has the
solid basis of a large cotton crop, while
yours rests on nothing, and you owe
all the world. As to resources; we
do not lack for arms or ammunition,
and we have still a wide territory
from which to gather supplies. So,
you sec, we are not in extremities.
But if we were; if we were without
money, without food, without weap
ons; if our whole country were devas
tated ; and our armies crushed and
disbanded, could we, without giving
up our manhood, give up our right to
govern ourselves ? Would you not ra
ther die, and feel yourself a man, than
EV° and be subject to a foreign pow
er ?
Trom your stand.point there . is
force in what you say" replied the
Colonel. 'But we did not come here
to argue with you, 31r. Davis. We
come, hoping to find some hmnorablo
way to peace; and I am grieved to
boar'you say what you do. When I
have seen your young men lying on
the battle, field, and your old mon; wo
men and children starving in their
homes, I have felt I could risk my life
to save them. For that reason I am
bore ; and I am' grieved, grieved that
there is no hope.'

would givo my poor life gladly if it
would bring 13030 and good-Will to
the two countries, but it would not.
It is with your own people you sliauld
labor. It is they - who desolate our
homes, burn our wheat-fields, break
the wheels of wagons, carrying away
' our women and children and destroy
ing supplies meant for our sick and
wounded. At your door lies all the
misery and the crime of this war, and
it is a fearful, fearful account.'
'Not all of it, Mr. Davis. I "admit
a fearful account, but it is not all at
our door. The passions of both sides
are 'aroused. Unarmed men are hang
ed and prisoners shot down in cold
blood, by yourselves. Elements of
barbarism are entering the war on both
sides that should make us—you and
me Christians, mon—shudder to think
of. In God's name, then, let us stop
it. Let as dosornething, concede some
thing, to bring about peace. Yon can
not expect, with only four and a half
millions, as Mr. Benjamin says you
have, to hold out forever against twen
ty millions.'
Again Mi•. Davis smiled.'
'Do you suppose there are twenty
millions at the rNorth determined to
crush us ?'
I do, to crush your
.(lovernment.
A small number of our people, a very
small number, are your friends, Seces
sionists. The rest differ about meas
ures and candidates, but are united in
the determination to sustain tho Un
ion. Whoever is elected in Noveniber,
he must be committed to a vigorous
prosecution of the war.'
'Mr Davis still looked incredulous
I remarked :
'lt is so, sir. Whoever tells you oth
erwise deceives you. I . think I know
Northern sentiment, and I assure you
it is so. You know we have a system
of lyceum lectures it is the custom of
the people to come upon the platform
and talk to the I.2cturer This gives
him an excellent opportunity of leArn
ing ppblio sentiment. Last winter I
lectured before nearly a hundred such
associations all 0vq,4,114. North-from
Dubtiquo to Bangor—and I took pains
to ascertain the feeling of the people.
I fbund a unanimous determination to
crush the rebellion and save the Union
at every sacrifice. The majority are in
Etym. of Mr. Lincoln, and nearly all
of those opposed to him because they
think lie does notfi:At you with enough
vigor.
'The radical Republicans, who go for
slave suffrage thorough confiscation,
aro those who will. defeat him, if tic is
to be defeated. But if he is defeated
before the people, the House will elect
a worse man—l mean worse for you.
It is more radical than he is (you can
see that from Mr. Ashley's Reconstruc
tion bill) and the people aro more rad-
ical than the Howse. Mr. Lincoln, I
know, is about to call out five hundred
thousand more men, and I can't see
bow you can resist much longer ; but
if you do you will only deepen the rad
ical feeling of the Northern people.
'They will now give you fair, honora
ble, generous terms; but let them suf
fer :ouch more, let there be a dead
man in every house, as there is now
in every village, they will give you no
terms : they wilt insist on hanging ev,
ery rebel south of—. Pardon my
terms. I mean no offence.'
'You give no offence,' he replied,
smiling very pleasantly. I wouldn't
have you pick your words. This is a
frank, free talk, and I like you the
better foi; saying - what you think. Go
on.'
I was merely going to say that, let
the Northern people once really feel
the war—they do not feel it yet—and
they will insist on hanging every one
of your leaders.'
'Well, admitting all you say, I can't
see how it affects onr position. There
arc some things worse than hanging
or extermination. We reckon giving
up the right of self-government ono of
those things.'
By self-government you mean disun
ion—Southern independence.'
'Yes.'
And slavery, you say, is no longer
an element to the contest.'
'No, it is not; it never was an essen
tial element. It was only a means of
bringinrr.sther conflicting elements to
an carli* eulMination. It fired the
musket Irldeh was already capped and
loaded. There are essential differen
ces between the North and the South
that will, however this war may end,
and make them two nations.'
'You ask me to say what I think.
Will you allow me say that I know
the South pretty well, and never ob
served those differences.'
'Then you have not used your eyes.
My sight is poorer than yours, but I
have seen them for years.'
The laugh was upon me, and Mr.
Benjamin enjoyed it.
'Well, sir, be that as it may, if I un-
derstand you, the dispute between your
Government and . ours is narrowed
clown to this; Union or disunion.'
`Yes; or to put it in other words;
Independence or subjugation.'
'Then the two Governments are irre
concilably apart. They have no alter
native but to fight it out. But it is
not so with the people. They are tir
ed of fighting and want peace; and as
they bear all the burden and suffering
of the war, is it net right they should
have pence ; and have it on such terms
as they like?' •
I don't understand you. Be a lit
tle more explicit.'
'Well, suppose the two Governments
should agree to do something like
this; To go to the people with two pro
positions, say, peace with disunion and
Southern independence as your pro
position—and peace' with disunion,
emancipation, no confiscation and uni.
venal amnesty, as ours. Let the citi
zens of all the United States (as they
exist before the war) vote 'Yes' or 'No'
on these two propositions, at a special
election, within sixty days. If a ma
jority vote disunion, our Government
to be bound by it, and to let you go
in peace. Ha majority votes Union,
yours to be bound by it, and to stay
in peace. The two Governments can
contract in this way, and the people,
though constitutionally unable to de
cide on peace or war, can elect which
of the two propositions shall govern
their rulers. Let Lee and Grant,
meanwhile, agree on armistice. This
would sheathe the sword, and if once
sheathed, it would never again be
drawn by this generation.'
'This plan is altogether in practica
ifie. If the South were only one State,
it might work , but as it is, if one South
ern State objeted 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 Carlina vote
it out of Virginia.'

'That the majority shall decide it,

selves of the rule of the majority, and
this would subject us to it again.'
'But the majority must rule finally,
either with bullets or ballots.'
lam not sure of that. Neither cur
rent events nor history show that ma

contrary, I think, is trite. Why, sir,

tion, with any proposition which im
plied that the North was to have a
voice in determining the domestic re
lation of the South, could not live here .

'Allow me to doubt that. I think
it more likely ho would be hanged, if
he lot the Southern people know the
majority emildn't rule,' I replied smil-
I have no fear of that,' rejoined 3lr.
Davis, also smiling most good-humor
edly. 'I give yen leaf to proclaim it
from every house-top fn the South.'
'But, seriously, sir, you let the ma
jority rule a single State ; why not let
it rule in the whole cotintry
'Because the States are independent
and sovereign. 'Tho country is not.
It is only a confederation of state,,,
or rather it was; it is now two confed
erations.'
"Then we are not a people, we are
ohly a political partnership ?'
`That's all.'
'Your very name, sir.'United States,'
implies that,' said Mr. Benjamin. 'But
tell me, are the terms you have nam
ed--Emancipation, no confiscation and
universal amnesty—the terms which
Mr. Lincoln authorized yen to offer
us?'
'No, sir; Idi. Lincoln did not auth
orize Inn to offer you any terms. But
I. think both he and the Northern peo
ple, for the sake of peace, would assent
to come to such conditions.'
They are very generous,' replied
Mr. Davis, for the first time during
the in terview, showing seine angry feel
ing. 'But, amnesty, sir, applies to crim
inals. We have committed no crime.
Confiscation is of no account, unless
yon can enforce it. And emancipa

good moist sugar, and place it into a
small copper; strain the liquor off on
the sugar, and for every ten gallons of
water take ono ounce of ginger, half
an ounoo of cloves and one ounce of
whole allspice ; do the spices in a
separate bag of muslin, and boil up the
whole. for about twenty minutes or
half an hour; let it stand : in the pan

piece of toast with a little yeast on it..
When quite cold pour the liquor into
the barrel let it work out of the
bung hole, and fill up, as you would

The way they treat Cops in
The Peoria, (Illinois) Tral . zsco:pf
says that one day last week its a
returned soldier named ThoMpson.
residing in Washingtem,.Was 'engaged
in conversing with some partiosiiroho
saloon of thoPooria lionse„an T iridival,
uatenterd, and as be Paiisod . Shinit f ea'
"Hurrah for Jeff.'Davis!" In an instant •
the soldier turned and asked, , Tid.Tou
shout for Jeff. Davis?" • Copperhead
surveyed Thompson for . a moment
and seeing that ho meant .Misehei4
rePliod that it was not him. " Well"
said the soldier, "I' believe, 'that you
did, and if I wits ShUro.ofity would
cause you to remember it." Seeeeh
again declared that he had not, when,
at this juncture ono of the Mon Theirip
son had been conversing with, and
who has always noted , with- thoAern
ocratie party, stepped up, sayiu,g f tp
the soldier : !' I am a Democrat, but
can't stand that ; he did•hurrah; for'
Davis, and now:pitchinto
The veteran hesitated not a moment,
I and though by far the smallest, he
went at the. :Toff. Davis sympathi
zer and administered -a most awful
drubbing, concluded by • compelling
hith to shout twice. as feud, as lie was•
able, for Abe Lincoln.. Thep, allowing
the fellow to get on his foot, ho ea,ution
ed him never to repeat that operation
again in his preSenee, Saying; I have
fought rebels throe years, and 'had
a brother killed by just such men 7 us
you are, and whenever a traitor shouts.
for Jeff. Davis in my hearing,. I will'
whip him or kill him." The Copper=
bead said not a word, butitook himself'
off as that as his legs would carry him.
The Washington Star tells'
about a soldier, who, in dodging away'
from a patrol, bid himself in a restaur
ant by jumping into a large box used
for steaming oysters. The lid clo4ed
with a spring lock, and the disappoint
•ed patrol went on his way baffled. , In
a little while tho colored man attend
.
ing the apparatus turned on a full head'
oesteam, in order to prepare a Mess•
for some cnstomois. The soldier began
to grow uncomfortably warm, and .
kicked and yelled lustily for libera--
tion, until the frighted ne g ro ran away ;
shouting that the debit was in the
steamer. Other employees gatlicra
around, and released the perspiring .
soldier,. who bounded out with the
speed of a machine whose motive•
power is steam. .
ONE day as 'Hags, whose cup of pov_
erty was dashed,
Lay snug in.bed whir(' his one shirV ,
was washed',
The dame appeared, and holding it to
view,
Said, "If 'tis washed again 'twill wash ,
in two!"
"Indeed r cried Rags ? "then wash it,.
pray, good cousin,
And wash it, if you can, into a dome."
Warn Is OLD ?—A wise man will rev-.
or rust out. As long as ho can move
and breathe, he spill do something for
himself, his neighbor, or for posterity.
Almost to the last hot., of
. fife
Washington was at work ! 'do were -
Franklin and Young; and Iloward
and Newton. The vigor'of their lives
never decayed. No .rust ever marred
their spirits. It is a foolish idea to.
suppose we must lie doWn and die be
cause we are old. Wlio is old ? Not.
the man of energy; not the day- labor
er in science, art or benevOlericel but
he only who suffers his energies,,,to•
waste away, and the springs of life to
become motionless; on whose hands
the hours drag heavily, to WhOm , ,alli
thing wear the garb of gloom. •
