graphed over the country teat. TWO men aa
commissioners had just returned from Rich
cial business; but rumor In this case was III
error. hetravelers neither transacted busi-
nees in Richmond of an official or even OF IN
important character, 80 far as present results
are concerned.
The gentlemen who have thus succeeded
In visiting Richmond, are Col. Jas. F.
Jaques, I'D Illinois regiment, end Edmund
| hlrk, OF New York 1t Is well knoWn that
Col. Jaqucs has been in the army almost
since the beginning OF the War. lie Is agen-
1leman OF about forty-Ave>Tears OF age,
pleasing IN LIS address, although somewhat
reserved IN manners The r. port that these
gentlemen acted IN any Official capacity fol
our Government, or that they were in any
respect recognized, either here OF In Rich
mond, as agents, messengers. ENJOYS or com.
m1ssloners OF the United States, is untrue
They were upon mission perfectly and
wholly distinct from any connection with
our authorities. Again, the Object Of the
mission was not present In its nature, but
altogether INTERIOR and depended upon con
tingencics Which may arise hereafter.
