that the answer of Mr.. Lincoln was just the very
kind OF answer which the many cOuuseied'
George expected and that Il is TO be used tn show
how teroeiously and unrelcntingly the present
Yankee Administration Is bent on war, and re-

mysterious hints 10 the Washington correspond

Richmond, and about two Interviews which they
say they had with Mr. Davis. They cInuot dis
close 'tor the present-those deep diplomats
what passed at those interviews, but 'it is iut-

Mr.. Davis would con ent to nothing short Of the
recognition Of the Southern Conf fderacv.' Of
