CONFERENCE. =
The Washington correspondent Of the New York
Herald furnishes that paper with some additional
particulars of the recent conference at Fortress
Monroe, from which we copy the following:
There is no truth whatever in the statement ex-
tensiycly circulated that the Rebel Commissioners
demanded recognition and refused to enter into ne
gotiation except on that basis. The whole question
of peace and the views of the two sections We're
talked over in a general way. Stephens and ASSOC
cates did not in all OF this general conversation in
innate whether they wOdld or would not accept
anything else but recognition and Independence
What they did say was that they dd not desire TO
fix any ultmatum a starting point in their ncgo-
tiations The ultimatum question which, in
their opinion, should be arrived at through neg0-
tiation as the terms OF settlement, and not liked a.
the starting point. They asked that commissioners,
vested with full powers 10 treat ON peace, should
be appointed ON both sides, aud that there should
| be an armstice while negotiations We're pending.
The President and Mr.. Seward refused to grant an
| armisticc for a single day. Mr.. Lincoln informed
them that there were three points which he would
| not yield
day.
| T. That united country was the only basis upon
which peacc could be obtained. Restoration of the
Union and full obcdienccto the laws by the people
of the Southern States were the sine qua pOH.
3. That the action OF Congress III issaru 10 sii''
cry should be recognized as the law OF the land
meaning in this the constitutions amendment
There is one popularity in regard to all the ru
mors which have been in circulation since Mr. Lin
coin returned, and that is the perfect accord oil al
on the point that neither the President nor Mr.
| Seward varied a hairs breadth from the position
that no settlement can be had, peace obtained
lexcept upon the basis of united country, Unoi
under one flag, from the lakes to the Gull. Theri
were no IFS or ands in regard to the President spo
sition on this. If the South were not satisfied be
fore they must be now that under no circumstance
will the people the North consent to division o
the country. -

BILL TO LAY ADDITIONAL TAXES, &C.,

was taken up.
On motion OF Mr.. SMITH, of North Carolina the
second section was stricken out.
On motion of Mr. W. +. SMITH, of Georgia, the
second section Of the present bill was inserted in
lieu thereof
Mr.. LYON said that the amendment having
emasculatcd the bill, he had hope that any sub
scquent amendments from the Committee of Ways
and Means could improve it, He therefore ADAM
doncd ibto the care OF others.
Mr.. RU SSELL thought that it was evident that
in its present temper, the House could come to no
conclusion upon the subject; he therefore moved
that the Committee of the Whole rise, aud recom-
meuded to the House that the bill, with amendments
&C., be referred a special committee Of from
each State
Mr.. ATKINS, of Tennessee, earnestly endorsed
the views aud proposition Of the gentleman from
Virginia.

The SuItana Disaster.

An Indiana paper says that Sergeant
JOLLY, one of the survivors from the i'll
fated Sultana, says that he heard the
Transportation Quartermaster at Vicks-
burg boast that he was going to make "a
big thing" out of the Sultana's load-he
getting five dollare each for the soldiers
shipped on her and allowing the boat
only three dollars and fifteen cents each.
He expected to make about $500 out of
the job. The captain of the Sultana pro-
tested against crowding his boat so I'M
necessarily, as there were other boats
lying at the wharf, but the Quartermas-
ter insolently threatened to seize the
boat if he persisted in his objections.
We regret that that Quartermaster's
name is net made public, but it will prob
ably come out in due time. If ever any
scoundrel deserved hanging, he does, if
he is as guilty as he seems. The per
emptory removal of General DANA by
GRANT, doubtless had something to do
with this Sultana affair.

Secretary

Secretary STANTON seems to be render
ING himself more and more unpopular
every day. His efforts to induce the
Committee on the Conduct of the War,
whose principal business during the past
four years has been to whitewash Gem
erals that were supposed to be sound on
the negro question, and censure those
that were suspected of conservative Lean
ings, to furnish up his somewhat dam
aged character, will avail very little in
the popular mind. Somehow OF other
the people have come to regard STANTON
as the chief malignant in the eounsels of
the administration, and they attribute
to his influence, mainly. the arbitrary
arrests, the violations of law and the SUI
persedure of the courts by military com
missions, which have produced and are
still producing so much trouble i'll the
land. Even the Springfield Mass Re
yab!ican, as staunch a supporter OF the
administration as can be found any
where, is at last compelled to protest
acainstthe- course the Secretary of War
is pursuing, Speaking of the Danish
ment of ex-senator FoOTE. instead of
bringing him to trial, if he was worth
proceeding against at all, the Rcpub'icdr
says:
"Wherc does Mr. Stanton get his au-
thority for warning criminals out OF the
country, that they may escape punish.
mentqI Let us get back to the laws and
the courts at once, that we may know
what to expect. The one,man power is

that his defense and exculpation be
made as public as had been the accuse
ton against him. The letter has herer yet

Congressional resolutions hsd been ut
tefly disregsfded, that M. STANTON was
induced to let McCLKLLAN'sl Report see
the light. He exercises q similar retent-
i've faculty in whatever is personally IN
pleasant to him, but no sooner does the
Committee on the Conduct Of the War
induce General GRANT to pay STANTON
the questionable compliment of not hav-
ing interfered with his campaign, than
the fact is telegraphed all over the coun-
try, as though it was an evidence of
SrANToN's particular merit that he had
suffered GRANT, his superior officer. to
have his own way.
Mr.. STANToN's friends claim that he
is at least an honest man and hates
thieves" even though he is frequently
rash, irascible and despotic. If it be
true, and we believe that it is, we give
him full credit for so rare a virtne. With
all his faults, we have e heard of
more than one instance impeaching his
honesty, that is still unexplained. That
was the case of Major M'LEAN who was
ordered off to the Pacific coast apparently
to prevent his giving testimony before
the court martial convened to try Cap
tain HURT. of Ohio, a Quartermaster
who was accused of swindling the gov
eminent. The matter was made public
at the time it occurred, but, although
there was no necessity demanding the
immediate presence of Major M'LEAN at
Vancouver's Island, at least until after he
had given IN his testimony to the court
martial, Secretary STANTON was impe-
rative and hustled him off without de-
lay.
This is the only case of which we re-
member that suggested the completely of
Secretary STANTON in frauds similar to
those which so disgraced his predecessor
in the War Office, but is it not possible to
find a maj who can be honest and "hate
thieves and, at the same time, have a
respect for law and popular rights
