| HAMPTON ROADS CONFERENCE.
The Herslds correspondence from Rich
mona gives new facts concerning the Hamp
ton Roads Conference. 1t says one of tn,
rebel commissioners states that on their re
turn from Richmond they refrained from
a general discussion of the interview.
Judge Campbell sffirms he v as satisfied
with the interview, and felt willing to
make peace on the basis of the late Presi.
dents ultimstion.
The second day after their arrival in
Richmond Mr.. Hunter became convinced
of the hopelessness Of looking or fighting
for anything better, and yielded his Adher-
enoe to Judge CsmpbelPs opinion.
Stephens Thought that longer delay
might be more favorable to tho South. but
on the evening of his departure for
Georgia. which took place on the day
before public meeting at the African
Church, he assented substantially to the
conclusions of Judge Campbell and Hun
ter.
On one point the Commissioners were
fully agreed from the outset Th0y we're
opposed to any efforts to influence the pub.
lie mind to any great extent against the
General Government to this end.
They waited upon Davis, Benjamin, and
other members of the rebel government,
and sought to prevent the meeting at the
African Church. They used every argu-
ment entirely in vain, and themselves pos
itively refused to be present or countsnsnce
it in any way. The statement that Steph-
ems had gone to Georgia to canvass his
State in favor of prolonging the war, was
voluntary and unauthorized. He wss sp-
piled to by inauentirl men to do so, but
positively refused, giving it as his purpose
to go home and remain in quietness until
the end should come. On his arrival in
Georgia he was frequently importuned to
take the stump, but so persistently de-
elined that many of his best Southern
friends deserted him.
