The next morning opened bright and fair. entire party went om board the Biver Queen an- chored out im the stream. The conference lasted until the afernoon—sixteen hours in all, The rebel commissioners then returned on board the Martin, which steamed up the James, while Seo- retary Seward and the President procesied in opposite direction to Washington, where they arrived Boturday morning, A oabluet meeting wae iwimediately ea/led, where the pro- ceedings from first to last were disclosed and ap- proved, It te understood that the onus of further neyouatious is now thrown upon the re The Presilent jmsisted on # return to the Union and submiasion te the Constitution, but was willing te concede everything else, and refer disputed points to the decimon of the courts.

Withvbim there wasto te no de Viation from the course, Bo the Commismovers were lef inno doubt whatever on this material point. The conversation wae conducted im the momtoourteocus and respectful manver, and the Coumniesioners returned to Bichmond thoroughly understanding the views expressed by the Provi- devt. Therefore if amything further is to be said on thie sul ject, it must come from the Confede- ratew ihemuelves, Ashas heretofore been winted, there was no agreement upon any point at ise ie, It ia contidently asserted Ly intimate friends of the President, that no concessiom or promise was mace by him in the least degree yielding the pomtion as above stated, and which belae tn pul ite and pri- | vate commuaications waloteived.
