THE EVENING STAR. Jefi Davis and His Terms of Peace. At Pawtucket, Rhode Island, on Wednesday evening, Mr. Gilmore Ae Edmund Kirke”) de- livered a lecture, in which he described hisia- terview with Jeff. Davis, during & late visit to Richmond, and the substance of their conver- sation on the terms of a peace. The Provi- dence Press gives the following report of Mr. "s remarks : Goent to Richmond with the Rey. Colonel Jaques, and went with the Rope of making ne- xotiations which might result in If we should succeed, we thought that theconscious- ness of having served our country woald pay our expenses. If we failed, we might still serve the country by letting the people of the Nerth know what was the reason of our fail- ‘ure; for I went with propositions on the basis of which I mig@it have made an arrangement for peace with Mr. Davis, and if we were un- successfal, it would be useful for the couniry to know what pi jitions were rejected. We went to Richmond in an ambulance, and were three hours‘on the way after we entered the rebel lines. We entered Richmond at teno'clk, and planted our white flag in the very heart of the rebel capital. As we stopped, Judge Old, the rebel com- missioner of exchange, directed Goione! Jacques to button up his overcoat, as it was dangerous | to be seen with a blue uniform in the streets of | Post Richmond. We were taken to a hotel, and shown up to «No. 60,” @ shabby room, with | some fine furniture in very bad order. We ‘were provided with supper, and directed how o apply for an interview wita the President. | The next morning we directed a note to Secre- ary Benjamin, asking an interview with the President, and were invited to call upon him, when wemade &n engagement tom@get the Pres. ident that evening, which was Sunfay. On meeting our engagement, we were shown into the State Department, where we saw Mr. Benjamin, asmall, plump, black-haired, black- eyed man, seated in his usual place, and at his right a pale, thin man, dressed in a suit of darkish gray, with a mouth and chin expres- sive of the greatest determination. We told bim simply that we came without official authority, but knowing the opinions of our Government, tosee on what terms peace might be made. Mr. Davis replied. quietly, withdraw your armies from our territory, and peace will fol- low of itself. We told him that the northern people would never agree to any plan which did not include the establishment of the Union. Mr. Davis said that we never could live in peace. The North had sowed stich a bitterness between the two sections that we never could have peace in this generation. We then urged upon him that it was his duty to use every effort to put anend to this mon- strous bloodshed. He acknowledged this, and deciared that none of the blood shed in this war could helay to his own charge. They, the South, were not fighting for slavery; they were fighting for independence, and indepena- ence or extermination they would haye. We then tried to show him that the position of thé rebel armies was such that it was better for them to give up the contest while they could do it with honor; but he was unwilling to ad- mit that his armies were insuch a desperate position. He laid the blame of the barbarity of this war entirely upon the North, utterly ignoring the instances of rebel barbarity which ‘We brought to his notice. I then had a consid- erable conversation with Mr. Davis, in which 1 indirectly offered him the terms which I had been authorized to suggest; but as he did not show any disposition to meet me, I did not state them explicitly. These terms will be given in the newspapers in a short time. They ‘were, in general, entire abolition, a general amnesty, no confiscation, the debts of the South to be ignored, the debts of the General Govern- ment to be borne by all the States. Mr. Davis declared that such terms could never be ac- cepted by the Southern people, and rather than submit to them they would stake their whole property and their national existence. OFFICIAL.
