THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
On Monday, February 6, after the
Peace Commissioners had returned from
Fortress Monroe, Senator johnson, of
Georgia, visited Mr.. Jefferson Davis, and
held conversation with him, of which
the following is the substance, as re-.
ported subsequently by Mr.. johnson:
Senator Johnson.-Well, Mr.. Davis, /
your peace mission has failed.
Dayis.-Yes; l knew it would. And
l hope now the reconstructionists will
fight Lincoln instead of fighting me.
Johnson.-But Mr.. LINCOLN, it seems,
was not opposed to making peace with
the States. He only refused to recog-
nize the Confederate Government.
Davis.-H'm, HIN. h'm.
Johnson see, Mr.. Davis, that you
have withdrawn all the troops from
Georgia into Carolina and Virginia.
What are the people of Georgia to do
for protection
Davis.-The people of Georgia have
followed the c0unsels of Governor
Brown and Mr.. Stephens, and they must
now protect themselves.
: Johnson.-Very well, Mr.. President !;
if you can do without the people of |
Georgia, the people Of Georgia can do
without yous
Whereupon exeunt, by different doors,
Davis and johnson.
MORE ABOUT PEACE.
When Mr.. Stephens came back from |
Fortress Monroe, he said to his friends |
that he was not disappointed at the |
failure of his mission that he knew |
before he started that it would fail. He |
ives now satisfied that Mr.. Lincoln would |
not make peace with Davis on any terms,
but he was more sanguine than ever |
that peace was within reach Of the coun-
Try. lie was quite certain we should |
have peace, and an honorable peace,
before May l, 1866. This result, he |
was in the hands Of the peo-
pie, and if the people desired peace,
neither Davis, nor any other man, nor
yet Of men, could prevent it.
