while President Lincoln vas 10 Richmond
Judge Campbell told him that in an in
terview With Davis. Brecklnridae and
Bsnjamio jast before they left, ba said
10 them that az there was no hope for the
CoDfederacJ, and President Lincoln
could not negotiate with them, he, Lin
coin would negotiate with the States, and
recognise the right Of the Virginia Legis-
laturc to control The troops Of that State.
He then iold Mr. Lincoln tha. if be tould
permit that body to convene, II would
doubtless recall the Virginia troops from
the Geld. Mr.. Liucoln cautioned Judge
CimpbeIl sgainst any Misunderstanding,
and gave him 10 writing his only 5erms,
which wore those rendered in the Hamp-
ton Roads interview, to which he added
another: That ia. case the leaders per-
sisted in the war, their property should
be reientlessiy coniscated. On thu way
10 Washington, Mr.. Lincoln wrote an
ordsr TO Geseral Weit1ai 10 pernik the
Virginia Legislature to convene in Rich
mond fur the purpose Of Withdrawing the
Virginia troops from the rebel army, bu.
not 10 allos the use Of any treasdnabls
language, nor the adoption Of tresaosable
measures.
Bat on the very day of his death, he
received > letter from Judge Campbell,
tinged With the usual rebel insolence, ig
noring altogether the proposition which
the President had made bin. and urging
that, thosgh the military power Of the
Coniederscy was destroyed. the spiri. OF
the Southern people vas still unbroken.
If you wans to conciiiate them, he said. il
