ace. You cannot expect, with only four and a half millions, as Mr. Benjamin says you have, to hold out forever against twenty millions. Again Mr. Davis smiled. Do you suppose there are twenty millions at the North determined to crush us? I do — to crush your government. A small number of our people, a very small number, are your friends — Secessionists. The rest differ about measures and candidates, but are united in the determination to sustain the Union. Whoever is elected in November, he must be committed to a vigorous prosecution of the war. Mr. Davis still looking incredulous, I remarked: It is so, sir. Whoever tells you otherwise deceives you. I think I know Northern sentiment, and I assure you it is so. You know we have a system of lyceum-lecturing 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. L

id to us: In the morning you had better address a note to Mr. Benjamin, asking the interview with the President. I will call at ten o'clock, and take it to him. Very well. But will Mr. Davis see us on Sunday? Oh, that will make no difference. What we did there. The next morning, after breakfast, which we took in our room with Mr. Javins, we indited a note — of which the following is a copy — to the Confederate Secretary of State: Spotswood House, Richmond, Va., July 17, 1864. Hon. J. P. Benjamin, Secretary of State, etc.: dear sir: The undersigned respectfully solicit an interview with President Davis. They visit Richmond only as private citizens, and have no official character or authority; but they are acquainted with the views of the United States Government, and with the sentiments of the Northern people, relative to an adjustment of the differences existing between the North and the South, and earnestly hope that a free interchange of views betwee

Doc. 15. visit of Messrs. Gilmore and Jaquess to Richmond, Va. On the sixteenth of July, 1864, J. R. Gilmore, a well-known author, and Colonel James F. Jaquess, of the Seventy-third Illinois volunteers, obtained a pass through the rebel lines, and visited Jefferson Davis at Richmond. This visit, in many respects, was one of the most extraordinary incidents of the war. With no safe conduct, and no official authority, these gentlemen passed the lines of two hostile armies, gained access to the leaders of the rebellion, and came away in safety; bringing with them information which was of great importance at the time, and proved of vast service to the Union cause in the election which soon followed. As it will be matter of history, we condense from the Atlantic Monthly Mr. Gilmore's account of this singular and most successful enterprise: When the far-away Boston bells were sounding nine on the morning of Saturday, the sixteenth teenth day of July, we took our glorious Massachus

As it will be matter of history, we condense from the Atlantic Monthly Mr. Gilmore's account of this singular and most successful enterprise: When the far-away Boston bells were sounding nine on the morning of Saturday, the sixteenth teenth day of July, we took our glorious Massachusetts general by the hand, and said to him: Good-bye. If you do not see us within ten days, you will know we have gone up. If I do not see you within that time, he replied, I'll demand you; and if they don't produce you, body and soul, I'll take two for one--better men than you are — and hang them higher than Haman. My hand on that. Good-bye. At three o'clock on the afternoon of the same day, mounted on two raw-boned relics of Sheridan's great rai
