TIE PEACE CONVENTION at Washington, have as yet done little or nothing of importance. They it almost all the while with closed doors, but if tliere were any thing of importance t,ans acted, it would be sure to leak out, and when it does, we shall hasten to lay the information be- fore our readers. It is not probable the Crit tcnden surrender will pass the Convention.
 MR. Lincoln left Cleveland on Saturday, and reached siissSfalo at o'clock p the afternoon. A tremendous crowd was in waiting at the depot to receive lm, through which he and his party with difficulty made their way to the carriages So great was the pressure, which the Police force secms to have been totally inadequate to prevent. that one of Mir. I.incoln's suite, Major Hunter of the Army, had his shoulder disloca- ted. The Mayor, on the arrival of the party at the American Hotel, introduced the President elect to the citizens of Buffalo, and he made & few remarks, which were received with the great est favor. They were similar in tenor to those made at Pittsburgh, so far as relates to the pres ent--or rather, as expressed by Mir, Lincoln tEe threatened difficulties Tuesday he attended the Unitarian Church in Buffalo, in company with Ex- President Fillmore.
 MR. LINCOLN left Buffalo Monday morning be- fore o'clock, A. M., and reached Albany about 2'4 o'clock, P. NJ. All along the route-at Ba- tsvia, Rochester, Palmyra, Lyons, Clyde, Syra- cuse, Utica, ani other places--mmense crowds were assembled to greet him, whose enthusiasm was almost beundless. He made several short speeches in response to addresses at various points, but made no allusion in any of thsm to national topics. The reception at Albany was tremendous affair, the crowds of people, citizens and visitors, being apparently almost wild with enthusiasm. He was met by the Mayor and Councils and the Legislative Committees, and was conducted to the Capitol, where he was welcomed in suitable terms by Governor Nor gan, and responded briefly. The speeches, on account of the impossibility of keeping silence in the vast throng, were inaudible for only a short distance from the speakers Mr. Lincoln was then conducted to the Legislative halls, and received by the members with demonstrations of respect. Senator Colvin made nsatly-wsrdsd address of welcome, which Mr. Lincoln replied to in feeling manner. Subsequently Mr. Lin- coin dined with Governor Morgan, and still later held leree at the Delavan House, and received thousands of citizens who availed themselves of the opportunity te pay their respects. He left Albany Monday morning at an early hour for New York.
 The vice-President elect, Mr. Hamlin, left Bangor, Maine, on his way to Washington, Mon day morning, and reached Boston in the after noon. The citizens of Bangor turned out en n.asse to bid him adieu, and in reply to a brief address, Mr. Hamlin made few remarks, in which he made patriotic alluson to the respon- sible duties he is about to assume. He joined Mir. Lincoln in New York.
 Hon. JEFFERSON DAVIS. of Mississippi, was on Monday inaugurated as President of the "Con- federate States of America" and following the nrecedent established in the somewhat older Con- federacy sought to be repudiated in the South, delivered an Inaugural Address, in which the plans and purposes of the seeding States were announced, and their course justified. There is nothing, particularly new in the arguments ad- yanced to sustain the position of himself and his coadiutors. The address isdignifed in tone, and much more guarded in language than the speech delivered by Mn. DAVIS on the previous day, on the occasion of his reception at Montgomery.
