Return of tho Mississippi Comm issioncrs,
[From the Vicksbur0 Herald, Dec. 21.l Z=
General ROBERT Lowry, one of the Commissions
ors to Washington to interposo in behalf Of Mr.
DAVIS, was in Jackson on Wednesday. The Cza,-
ION says ho sbrings back no word of hope or en-
courngemont from the President, nor docs ho be-
lovo thoro is enough conservatism left in Congress
to snyo us from tho vortex Of destruction into
which Radical misrule is carrying the country at
railroad speed. When NIossrs. Hillyer and Lowry
first called on President Johnson, they wore led to
believe q universal amnesty would soon bo pro-
claimed, but O couple Of weeks lator this impress
sion was removed, and they now como homo con-
vincod that tho day Of Mr.. Dayis liberation is still
far distant"
We had the pleasure, last evening, of an inter-
view with Major Hillyor; He agrees substantially
with the report of Con. Lowry, as stated by the
Clarion. Major Hillyer visited MIR. Davis at For
tress Monroe. He is in ino health, considering
Lis long md weary continement and bears himself
MS the people of the South would expect ON their
late President. Inside Of the fort he has the most
perfect froodom, and but for tho pressure Of tho
Radicals and the indecision Of President johnson,
ho would have been released long since. Thcro is
lttlo prospect now OF his being released
Major lfyor is of the opinion that tho design
Of tho Radical majority TO reduce us to terrific
rial condition will be speedily consummated-oyer
