dings of the meeting at the African Church on Monday night last and the comments of the Richmond press on the result of the peace mission. The New York Times says: The resolutions passed at the meeting were of like desperate character with Davis's speech, and so, also, it appears, were the speeches of Stephens and the others.

By the President: J. P. Benjamin, Secretary of State. ja 26--3tawtd
