With this belief they will pursue the most

Without inquiring into The authority BY

there are certainly very strong reasons,

prospects are as real as they represent
themselves, an armistice is not more wise
alternative than a treaty Of peace would
be- Mr.. Gilmore's report from Richmond
did not favor the idea Of negotiations until
greater punishment had beed inflicted.
The,e and other considerations render ID
probable that Senator Wilson understood
