LATER
RUxoRs OF ANOTHER INTERVIEW
Notwithstanding Secretary Stewards
semi-oficial assertion, through the Asso-
ciated Press, that the conference yes
/ terday resulted in nothing definite
/ looking to an honorable peace, rumor
is very prevalent tonight, on excellent
authority, that another interview will
take place in few days, and that the
| denials of the success Of the one of
yesterday is bold diplomatic stroke.
This receives endorsement from such
respectable circles, that it IS worthy OF
being telegraphed.

DAYS, and declares that there can be no
peace except through more fighting

honorable terms.
10 DAYS Intelligencer says: A cab
met meeting was held yesterday fore
noon. TO which the President stated the
incidents and result of the conference.
This may be summed up in word, as
having no points of peace, and ending,
for the present abortively. The In-
telligencer adds that the interview was
pleasant, and it is understood that in
reply to a proposition for submission,
presented by the President, Mr.. Davis
! answered that he dared not submit a
question to the Southern people, being
fearful that the effect would be to pro
duce civil war between the Southern
States.
&c pcial Dispstch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Feb Sit will be well
to wait for news from Richmond be-
fore accepting too literally the assurance
of our State Department that the late
peace negotiations resulted in a dead
lock at the outset, on the demand OF
the rebel peace Commissioners for sepa-
ration and recognition.
It is rumored that the President is
preparing message to Congress on
the subject, and his being denied To
visitors yesterday and to day gives
more color to the. statement, as does
also the fact Of the close consultation
Of Cabinet officers at the White House
this evening Unless, however, some
official statement should appear on our
side to morrow, there are many reasons
for believing that the end of the peace
negotiations IS not yet, and that peace
itselfmay still prove,not veryfar distant
