PRELrMINARIEs OF THE PEACE MISSION
TO RIcHMoND.-The New York Tribune,
in narrative of the preliminary steps
leading to Messrs Gilmore and Jaques'
mission to Richmond, says that the lat
ter was first impressed with the convic-
ton, from facts which had come to his
knowledge, that the members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South were
heartily tired of the rebellion that
they considered slavery--its cause-vir-
tually abolished that they ardently de-
sired peace and the privilege of return
to their allegiance to church and state.
He was then serving under Gen. Rose
Grams in Tennessee, to whom he commu-
nicated his desire to go South. But a
request for a furlough was refused from
Headquarters. Mr.. Gilmore was at the
time on a visit to the army in Tennes-
see, and being made acquainted with
these facts, his assistance was asked.
The narrative proceeds
"And in due season Mr.. Gilmore pre-
scented himself to the president, armed
with letter from Gen. Rosecrans, in
which he said that he believed the pub
lie interest would be promoted by grant
ing Col Jaques' request, because of its
moral influence though he did not an
ticipate the results that the colonel ex-
pected from his mission. The president
at first declined to entertain the subject,
because he said, 4 happen to be presi-
dent of the United States. We can make
no overtures to the rebels. If they want
peace, all they have to do is to lay down
their arms. Finally, however, he
stated, lin clear, direct way, the terms
he would give the rebels, portion o.
which have since been included in the
amnesty proclamation. And he added
You can write what say to Gen. Rose
Grams, and he can communicate as mucf
of it as he thinks best to Col. Jaques
but the colonel must not understand
that he has these terms from me. W.
want rnacn nv. we make no over
lures for Inc J., hey already know
that the country would welcome then
back, and treat them generously ant
magnanimously."
This resulted in Col. Jacques frs
mission in which he got no farther THAI
Petersburg. The substance Of the sec
ond, which followed shortly after, i
