A correspondent of a Northern journal says that one of our peace commissioners, on taking leave of General Grant, expressed to him his solicitude for peace, and said that he would be willing to leave the settlement of it to him and General Lee; to which General Grant is said to have replied, that he "would settle it with General Lee this summer." We must be permitted to doubt whether General Grant made that remark. It sounds more like the bravado of a newspaper correspondent than the language of a military man. General Grant, so far as our information goes, treated our commissioners with distinguished courtesy. We never heard of the remark now attributed to him till we saw it in a Northern paper.
