The peace excitement has somewhat quieted down

now being made for that purpose, generally dis
cusscd.
The community were somewhat startled this morning
BY the rather precptate departure Of President Lincoln
with single attendant and carpet bag for Annapolis,
~ route 70 Fortress Monroe City Point Speculation
ss to the object and purpose OF this Presidential
"change Of base" universal and the conclusions
arrived At almost numerous the speculatora The
most generally entertained opinion and which best
subsantiated, is that Mr.. Blair while in Richmond
gave pledge that delegation sent 10 confer in
reference asctlement they should have audience
with tho President.
The rising storm Of indignation on the part Of the
moro radical republicans against Mr. Blair and Incl
denaly against the President for the steps that have
already been taken, with quasofcia endorsement by
the venerable dplomats rendered the reception Of the
rebel diplomats at the capital uconvenent and nadvisa
BILE. Mr.. Seward was accordingly sent TO meet them
but they claimed the funment Of the promise OF per-
sona interview with the President and he to solve the
difficulty, went TO meet them, instead Of allowing them
the freedom Of Washington.
