A special to the Cincinnati Commercial
contains the following items:
RUMoRs OF ANOTHER INTERVIEW.
Notwithstanding Secretary Stewards
semi-oficisl assertion, through the Associ-
ated Press, that the conference yesterday
resulted in nothing definite looking to an
honorable peace, a rumOr is very prevalent
tonight, on excellent authority, that an
other interview will take place in a few
days, and that the denisls of the success to
the one of yesterday is a bold diplomatic
stroke. This receives endorsement in such
respectable circles, that it is worthy of be-
ing telegraphed. The peace excitement
tonight gains ground.
LATEST RICHMOND EEws-wAs ALL THE
TALK.
The latest rebel papers do not possess
much interest. The Richmond Wing of
February 2, in long editorial on the reb-
81 army, says that the Z" war is good for
one, two or three years longer
The Richmond Dispatch, of the I'd, says:
"The enemy is evidently pleased with
the steps we have taken to secure a cessa-
tion of hostiIities, and would evidently
welcome peace as joyfully as we"
WAR MEETING IN RICHMOND.
A large war meeting was held in Rich
mond, on Wednesday, at which resolutions
were adopted for vigorous prosecution of
the war, until independence is secured.
LEE COMMANDMENTS. CHIEF.
It appears from all the Richmond papers
that Lee has been appointed and confirmed
Commsnder-in-chief of all the rebel armies.
AGAINST ABMING SLAVES.
Resolutions against employing slaves aa
soldiers, and IN favor of putting every
white man in the army of the South, we're
INTRODUCED into the rebel Congress on We'd
nesdsy.
AN APPEAL FOR ARMS.
General Lee has isued an order calling
on the people to supply his army with
arms, which he says is much needed just
now.
PEACE EEGoTIATIoEs-THEIR FAILURE.
Notwithstanding Secretary Stewards
semi official assertion through the Associa-
ted, that the result of the conference at
Fortress Monroe between the President
and himself, and the Richmond deputstioD,
resulted in change of attitude either by
this Government or by the rebels, there is
a strong under current of popular belief
here, in all circles, that negotiation is not
at an end, and wtile the conference held
on Friday was not success, it is not, in
every particular, failure.
Whether this almost general belief
proves to be correct or not, few days will
certainly demonstrate. There are many
who are looking for continuance of these
interviews
To-day's Chronicle covers over its fa-
nous pesce articles of the past few days,
snd declares that there can beno peace ex-
cept through more fighting. 1t advocates,
however, keeping the door open for the
South to come back on honorable terms.
To days IateLL,genceT says: A cabinet
meeting was held yesterday forenoon, 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 pres
ent abortively. The same paper adds that
the interview was pleasant, and it is un-
derstood that in reply W a proposition for
submission, presented by the President,
Mr.. Davis said he dared not submit sug-
gestiOn TO the Southern people, being fear
ful that the effect would be to produce
civil war between the Southern States.
