ULTIMATUM OF THE REBELS.
The following extracts from an artich in
the September Atlantic Monthly, en-
titled “Our Visit to Richmond,” by , J. R.
Gilmore give an account of the curious jouro
,neytotbe rebel capital recently taken by
two loyal citizens. Mr Gilmore accompani-
ed Col. Jaques, and gives a detailed account
oftbe journey, treatment, and what they
saw and heard It is the first authentic and
trustworthy account that the public have
bad of the sentiments of the government at
Richmond, audit is published opportuuely
now to meet the rumors of peace and
the reccommendations of armistice with
which thejournals abound. The convey...
tion of Col. Jaques and Mr Gilmore with
Jefferson .Daviszwgre frank, full and friendly
affected on either side; Davis declared his
own determination with great confidence
and boldness, and he was told, in return,
with equal confidence and boldness, of the
determination of the North.

As we fuck the proffered seats, the Cold,
ael,drs_wlng off his “duster,” and displaying
his uniform, said— ' . .
“We thank you for this cordial reception,
Mr. Benjamin. . We trust you ‘will be as
gladvtc hear us as you mo see‘ua.” ' '
“No doubt I shall be, for you come to talk -
peace. Peace is whatwe all want.”- .I
“It is indeed; and ifor’ that reason we are
here to see Mr. Davis. Can weaee him,sir 1”
“Do you briugany. overtures to him from
. your government 2” - ~
“No, sir. , We bring no overturesand have-
no authority ' from our government. :We
state that. in our note. We would be glad,
however, to know what fertile will hexaceept-
able to Mr. Davis. If they at allharmonizo
with Mr. Lincoln’s views. we will report-
tbem to him and scopen the door for ofilcial
negotiations.” ’ .
“Are you acquainted with Mr. Lincoln’s
views 2”
“One of us is, fully.
Did Mr. Lincoln, in anyumuthorize yell
to come here 1”
“No, air. We cube with he pass, but not,
by his request. We say, distinctly, we have
no ofilcial or uuoflcisl authority. We come
as men and Chrrshaus,‘ ‘ not as diplomatista,
hoping, in a frank talk with Mr. Davis, to.
discover some way by which this war may
m "op 9" . f r
“Well, gentlemen, I will repeat what you
say to the President, and if he follows my
advice—and I think he will—he will meet
you."
We called again at nine o’clock at th
state department, and were introduced to
Mr. Davis. Hia manner. was simple, easy,
and quite fascinating, and he threw an in-
describable charm into his voice, as be ex-
tended his hand and said to us: “I am glad
to see you, gentlemen. You are very wel-
come to Richmond.”
“We thank you, Mr. Davis. It is not of-
ten you meet men of our clothes, and our
principles, in Richmond.”
“Not often, not so ofien as I could wish;
and I trust your coming may lead to a more
frequent and a more fi-iendly intercourse be-
tween theNorth and the South.”
“We sincerely hope it may.”
“Mr. Benjamin tells me you have asked to
see me to”— _
And he pulsed, as if desiring we should
finish the sentence. The Colond replied,
“Yes, air. We have asked this interview
in the hopeihat you may suggest some way
by which this war can be stopped Our
people want peace.your people do, and your
Congress has recently said that youdo. We
have come- to ask how it can be brought
abou "
“In a very simple way. Withdraw your
armies from our territory, and peace will
come of itself_ We do not seek to subjugate
you. We do not wage an offensive war, ex-
cept so far as it is ofionflnddenfivaat

“But we cannot let you alone so long as

thing the Northern people will not surren-
def.” .
"I know. You would deny to us what
you exact for yourselves—the right of self.

“No, air,” I remarked. “We would deny
you no natural right. But we think the Uni“

“ And there are at least four millions of

sneer.
“ We have no desire to exterminate you,"
“I believe what I.
you all the loss and bloodshed you have
caused. But we must crush your armies and
exterminate your government. And is not
that already done ? You‘are wholly without
money and at the end of your resources.—
Grant has shut you up in Richmond. Sher-
man is before Atlanta. Had you not, then,
better accept honorable terms while you can
retain your prestige and save the pride of the
Southern people 1”
After attemptingto show that the South
was not quite so hard as represented by
the Col. Mr. Davis said: _ . A
“At your door lies all the misery and the
crime of this war—and it is a fearful, fearful
account.” - .
‘Not all of it Mr. Davis. I admits fearful
account, but it is not .all at our door. The
passions of both sides are aroused. Unarm-
ed men are hanged and prisoners shot down
in cold blood, by yourselves. Elements of
barbarian are entering the war on both sides
ithat should make us—you and me as Christ-
in men—shudder to think of. In God's
‘name, then, let us stop it. Let us do some-
‘thing, concede something, to” bring about
peace. You cannot expect, with only ‘ four
and abalfmillions, as Mr. Benjamin says
you have, .to hold out forever against twen-
‘ty millions.” . ‘
Again Mr. Davis smiled.
“Do you suppose there are twenty millions
not the North determined to crush us i”
“I do—to- crush your government. A
small number of our people, a very small
number, are your friends-secessionists.
The rest difi'er about measures and . candi-
dates, but are'united in'the determmation to
sustain the Union. -Whoever is elected in
November, he must be committed to a vig-
orous prosecution of the war.”
Mr. Davis still locked incredulous. I re-
marked: _
“It is so, sir. Whoever tells you other-
wise deceives you. I think I know North-
ern sentiment, and I assure you it is so.
You know we have a system of lyceum-lect-
uring in our large towns. At the close of
these lectures it is the custom of the people
to come upon the platform and talk with
the lecturer. This gives him an excellent
opportunity of learning public sentiment.
Last winter I lectured before nearly a hand-
red of such association all over the North—
from Dubuque to Bangor—and I took pains
to ascertain the feeling of the people. I
founda unanimous determination to crush
the rebellion, ind save the Union at every
sacrifice. The majority are in favor of Mr.
Lincoln, and nearly all those opposed to
him because they think he does not fight
you with enough vigor. Mr. Lincoln. I
know, is about to call out five hundred thou-
sand more men, and I can't see how you
can resist much longer; but if ycu do you
will only deepen the radical feeling of the
Northern people. They will now give you
fair, honorable, generous terms; but let
them suffer much more, let there be a dead
man in every home, as there is now in eve-
ry village, they will give you no terms—they
will insist on banging every rebel south ot—.
Pardon my terms. I mean no offence."
“You give no offence,” he replied, smil-
ing very pleasantly. “I would not have
you pick your words. This is a frank, free
talk, delike you the better for saying
what you think. Goson."
“I was merely- going to say that, let the
Northern people once really feel the war—
they do not feel it yet—and they will insist
on banging every one of your leaders.”
“But tell me, are the terms you have
named—Emancipation, no confiscation, and
universal amnesty—the terms which ‘Mr.
Lincoln authorized you to offer us i”
“No. sir;Mr. Lincoln did not authorize
me to offer any terms. But I think both he
and the Northern people, for the sake of
peace, would assent to'som'e conditions. ” '
“They are very» genomes,” replied Mr.
: Davis, for the first time during the interview
showing some angry feeling. “But, amnes-
ty, sir, applies to criminals. We have com-
mitted no crime. Confiscation is of no 10-;
counsualvaoueanentoreelt. Andaman-
cipatiorl! You have already emancipated
nearly two millions of our slaves—and if you .
will take care of them, you may emancipate
the rest. I had a few when the war began.
I was of some use to them ; they never were
of any to me, Against their will you ‘eman-
cipate’ them, and you may ‘emancipate’
every negro in the Confederacy, but we will
be free i We will do it if we have to see ev-
ery southern plantation sacked and every
southern city in flames.”
“I see, Mr. Davis, it'is useless to continue
this conversation,” I replied, “and you will
pardon usif we have seemed to press our
views with too much perti‘naeity. We love
the old flag, and that must be our apology
for intruding upon you at all.”
“You have not intruded upon me,” he re-
plied, resuming his usual manner. “I am
glad to have met yen both. I once loved
the old flag as well as you do; I would have
died for it; but now it is to me only the em.
blem of oppression.”
“I hope the day may never come, Mr. Da-
vis, when I say that,” said the Colonel.
As we were leaving the room, he added-—
“Say to Mr. Lincoln from me that I shall at
any time be pleased to receive proposals for-
peace on the basis of our independence. It
will be useless to approach me with any~
other."
When he went out'Mr. Benjamin called»
Judge Ould, who had been waiting during
.the whole interview—two hours—atthe oth-:
er end of the hall, and we passed down the-
atairway together. As I put my arm within
that of the Judge, he said to me—
“Well, what is the result ?"
“Nothing but war—wsr to the knife.” ‘
“Ephraim is joined to his idols—let him.
alone,” added the Colonel, solemnly.“
