THE MISSION OF A. II. STEPHENs.-The COP
perheads made a great ado over the refusal on
the part of the President to receive Stephens
and Oud, a. Commissioners from Richmond
declaring that they were bearers of terms OF
peace, and that the President had rejected the
IS terms without even knowing their purport,
and merely for the purpose Of continuing a
bloody and fratricidal war"
This correspondence has since been published
in the Richmond papers, and it turns out that
the whole subject, related solely to the estab-
lisment of a cartel for the exchange of prisoners
and other matters Of the kind. 1t was merely a
shrewd but unsuccessful dodge to secure the re-
cognition of the Confederate Government by
the United States. If the copperheads had been
in charge of public afairs-a thing not likely
to occur-they would have put their necks into
this moose at once.
