jeff. Davis and his Terms of
Peace.

AT Pawtucket, on Wednesday even,
irg, Mr.. Gilmore CEdmond Kirke,) de-
livered lecture in which he described
his interview with Jeff Davis during a
late visit to Richmond, and the substance
Of their conversation on the terms OF
peace. The Providence Press gives
the following report of Mr. Gilmore's re
marks:
81 went to Richmond with the Rev.
Col. Jaques, and went with the hope OF
making negotiations which might result
in peace. If we should succeed, we i'm
agined that the consciousness of having
served our country would pay our ex-
penses. If we failed, we might still
serve our country by letting the people
Of the North know what was the reason
of our failure; for went with PROPOSE
tons, on the basis of which might have
made an arrangement forpeace with Mr..
Davis, and if we were unsuccessful, it
would be useful for the country to know
what propositions were rejected. We
went TO Richmond in an ambulance, aud
were three hours on the way after we
entered Richmond at 10 O'Clock, and
planted our white flag in the very heart
of the rebel capital.
As we stopped, Judge Ould, the rebel
commissioner of exchange, directed Col
Jaques TO button up his overcoat, as it
was dangerous to be seen with a blue
uniform in the streets of Richmond
We we're taken to hotel and shown to
NO co. shabby room with some fine
furniture in bad order. We we're pro-
yided with supper, and directed how to
apply for an interview with the Presi-
dent The next morning we directed a
note to Secretary Benjamin asking an
interview with the President, and were
invited to call upon him, when we made
an engagement to meet the President on
that evening, which was Sunday.
On meeting our engagement, we were
shown the State department, where we
saw Mr.. Benjamin, a small, plump,
black-haired, black-eyed man, seated in
his usual place, and at his right a pale,
thin man, dressed in a suit of darkish
gray, with a mouth and chin expressive

They would rather see the Union fall
than that slavery should fall, and wish
that every Northern man, by virtue Of
a cruel fugitive slave law, should again
become a Stare catcher for the Southern
planters.
But these secession sheets, however
plausible their names and pretensions,)
are designed by the enemies Of our com
mon country as instruments for spread
ing dissension in the North, and il posi-
sibe produce revolution. This division
among chief friends is what the southern
rebels most desire-it is their stronghold
and last hope at this time-for they well
know that "united we stand and divided
we fall"
We have good reason to believe that
the editors of these disloyal papers are
actually paid, from some quarter, in mo-
ney, for many reasonable articles pub
lished from time to time against our ma
tional administration. Lacking popular
support, we fear they accept bride for
publishing articles at variance with their
own convictions of truth. We would
then say to every loyal man, as you re-
gard the blood of your forefathers sheC
in the Revolution-the blood of your
brothers and sons who have fallen in bat.
tie in defense Of the Union aud their be.
loved country-as you desire your owl
and our nations welfare, and the perpe
tuity of her institutions, discountenance
the insidious and nefarious engines O
this wicked and prolonged rebellion.

of the greatest determination. We told
simply that we came without official au-
thority, but knowing the opinions of our
government, to see on what terms peace
might be made.
Mr.. Davis replied qoietly-withdraw
your armies from our territory, and
peace will follow of itself We told him
that the Northern people would never
agree 70 any plan which did not include
the establishment of the Union. Mr.
Davis said that we never could live in
peace. The North had sowed a bitter
ness between the two sections, that we
never could have peace in a generation
We then urged upon him that it was
his duty to use every effort to put an
end to this monstrous bloodshed. He
acknowledged this, and declared that
none of the bloodshed in this war could
be Fay to his own charge. They (the
Soutb) were not fighting for slavery :
they were fighting for independence; and
independence or determination t h e J
would have. We then tried to show
him that the position Of the rebel armies
was such that it was better for them tC
give up the contest while they could dc
1t with honor but he was unwilling t.
admit that his armies were in such des
perate position. He laid the blame o
the baibarity of this war entirely upor
the North, utterly Ignoring the instance
of rebel barbarity which we brought t(
bis notice. | then had a considerable
conversation with Mr.. Davis, in which
indirectly offered him the terms which
had been authorized to suggest; but a:
he did not show any disposition to meei
me, | did not state them explicitly
These terms will be given through the
newspapers in a short time. They were
in general, entire abolition, genera
amnesty, no coniscatioD, the debts OF
the South to be ignored, the debts of the
General Government to be borne by all
the States. Mr.. Davis declared thai
such terms could never be accepted by
the Southern people, and that rather
than submit to theUs they would stake
their whole property aud their na'joua
existence

The SITUATION IN ARKANSAS
The military situation in Arkansas
is not as unfavorable as has been
supposed. The rebels have not al
any time been within fifty miles OF
Little Rock, which is strongly forti.
fed and capable of resisting any at.
tack, having fifty pieces of artillery
mounted on the defences. Pin e
Bluff is similarly fortified, having &c
pieces of cannon. Small bands OF
guerrillas, however, are still opera.
ting at various points. An order
has been issued by the rebel author.
ities conhscating all the cotton in
the State to the rebel government
and threatening with death any cit.
izen who shall sell any of the staple
to the Federals. The reorganized
State courts will go into operation in
September, and the United States
Court will hold a session for that
month. The Board of Tax Commits.
sioners for the Government will or.
ganize and go to work at the same
time. All the officers have been APP

BLACKBERRIEs FOR THE SOLDIERS
"A lady in Washington, laboring in
connection with the Sanitary Commits
sion, urges the people to put up, in large
quantities, blackberries for the use Of the
sick and wounded. She says the women
in Washington are making them into
cordial, wine, brandy or syrup, to be
used only in cases of diarrnea, and that
the hospital surgeons regard the black
berry juice as of inestimable value Ii
seems pos essod, she writes, of a quality
not found in any other print, or leaf, or
root, or mineral, to'call the slowly vast
ing nature Of chronic darrhea from
dsath back to vigorous life The
writer of tine letters also communicates
the following highly approved recipe
which is being generally adopted
To two quarts blackberry juice put
one and half pounds white sugar, halt
ounce cinnamon, half ounce nutmeg, a
quarter ounce cloves, one ounce allspice
let it boil few minutes, and when cool
add a pint of the best brandy. Bottle
carefully in strong bottles--cork with
let0 corks tied down, aud pack carefully
n saw dust or bran.
Dried blackberries and other fruit de-
ired in quantities. Direct and send like
,ther stores for sick and wounded sol

1861 CoPPERHEAD PAPERs.-We regard
the various copperhead papers issued in
the North as the most insidious and dan.
gerous engines which are now being
made use Of to destroy the Union. They
. are reasonable in the highest degree
No Union man is doing his duty to his
God, his country, himself, or his posters
ty who aids in their support. They are
designed for the express purpose of SOW
ing the seeds Of diseord among and d.
! siding the friends of our National Union,
in order to effect the downfall of our glo-
rious republic. They assume false col
ors, and for the purpose of deceiving, as.
sumo the name of Union loving papers
or, at least, they want the Union as it
vas including the evil of slavery and
all lie national supports and guarantees.

price of labor and all the essentials of life, WI
are compelled to increase our subscription price
from 81 so in advance to $500, 81, 50 at thu
close of the year. We should have raised thu

ed to the price of all probate notices. T1gen-
aes Vermonter.
And we shall shortly do the same thing.
We must raise the price Of our paper to
$500 or $3.50, or suspend its publica-
ton entirely. And we believe that we
can make more money to stop printing the
paper entirely and depend upon our job
work for support, than we can to print for
even $3.50, at the rate' white paper has
gone up for the past eight weeks. With
in that brief period it has gone up from
twenty to thirty cents per pound, which
will add 1875 to our yearly EXPENSES
All the papers in the State are now held
at $500, So, so, and SO, 90 in advance, so
that people can gain nothing by leaving
US to go somewhere else. There have
been no less than seven papers stopped
their publication in New York City, very
lately, on account of the ruinous price
asked for paper. The New England Far
mer, one Of the oldest and ablest papers il
the country, has also suspended till time
are better--a wise move, we think. w,
shall also ask more for advertising ant
job work.
Those who noso take the Standard car
have it at present rates till Jan. l, 1865

SCENE AT CHAMBERsBURG- Il O
one house where the rebels went for the
purpose Of firing it, lay the dead body OF
woman in a coffin, being watched by a
few friends and her husband. The reb-
els insisted Oh instantly firing the house,
and the officer who conducted operations
was at one time going to fire the house
With the dead body in it. After some
parleying be was prevailed upon to let
the deceased be buried. The husband,
with the help of one rebel private, con-
yeyed the corpse to the back yard, and
proceeded to dig hole to put the coffin
in. They hardly had time to dig down
short distance before they were cons
PEELED, in consequence Of the heat Of the
burning building (for the rebels fired the
house as soon as the corpse was reno
ved) to place the coffin in this shallow
hole, and before they could cover it en-,

The coffin and the corpse were left in this
condition.

NATURAL HIsTORY.-Jackson, the

gives to the world an item Of natu
raj history, which we never saw il
Cuyicr or Aeassiz, and may not beal
rigid investigation, and yet it is
very true in its fguratiye appIica
ton. He says, I'VE have two kinds
of snakes down South, the rattle
snake and the copperhcad. The rat
| tlesuake is blind one half Of the
year and unable to provide for its
sustenance, and during this period
the copperhcad brings him food, and
affords him aid and comfort Now
/ the Southern slave holders and reb
els are the regular rattlesnakes and
they are now blind and sure to die
if not fe d by some friends. They
have them at the North who sympa
tbizc with them, send them aid and
comfort as far as possible, torment
and weaken the government in its
efforts to subdue them, divide the
people, and make trouble, and SC
feed the blind rattlesnakes. These
are regular copperheads, very
mean kind of coppcrheads, who arc
willing to feed the vicious, blind, BIZ
ting, desperate rattle snake, with the
life Of the best government tn {
world ever saw"
Pretty well done for black chat

men. He communicated with the
enemy's feet by flag of truce, with
