Tden Immediately after his arrival
BRIEF CONFERENCE.
Tho conference very brief Each read his letter

Sam Bowcs, OF the Springfield Republican, who is
also here, having arrived this morning tclegraphs TO
his paper that the Tdcn letter is exceedingly we'll
written, and calculated to inspire the confidence of
tho country and doubtful votes; that 1t Is as great
