Mr. McMullin ay* that eince the war he vai one day in tbe Fresident's honee, in Washington, conversing with Hon. F. Blair, Sr. Mr. Blair told him that aoon after McMullin's "peace resolutions'* had been introduced into the Confederate C ngreas, Mr. Lineoln being extremely anxious to bring about a peace honorable alike to both Motions of the country, and foreseeing, and wishing te avoid, tbe political consequences of the military subjugation of the South, rent l!n (Mr. Blair) to Richmond to confer with Mr. Darisand learn what arrangement of tbe difficulties could be made. lie was passed through the line* of tbe contending armios and aondncted to Mr. Daris' bonae iu Richmond. After a long conversation with Mr. Davis and ether prominent gentlemen (or whom Mr. Davie sent, and for whom Mr. Blair enquired, Mr. Davis said that be had no proposition to make. Mr. Blair then proposed that General Lee's rmy he marched into Mexico against the Frenoh; that Qaneral Grant would follow and support the movement; that the united armies would drive out Maximilian, and then tbe Southern States should name their own terms ef reconstruction, everything short of independsnee being guaranteed. At Mr. Davis, requsst this proposition was made in writing and ftsr some consultation and reflection signed and accepted by him. Mr. Blair returned to Washington, and Mr. Lineoln was highly delighted with the success of tbe negotiation. It was in the hope of eonstimmating this ar rangemvnt that Mr. Lincoln and Seward met he "Peace Commissioners," Hone. Stephen*, Hunter, and Campbell, at Fortress Monroe Vat there, to Mr. Lincoln'* chagrin, the committee declared that they bad been instructed by Mr. Davie to insist upon the independence 1 the South, and would listen to no other propneeJ. And thus the whole affair eame to a "moat lame and impotent conclusion." Sne.b is the substance of the account related e Oorernor MeMullin hylMr. Blair.

WiiniKTor, May 1.?General Dent had intimated to General Lee that President Grant deaired a visit from him. Whereupon General Lee, accompanied by Mr. and Mr*. Taggart, of Baltimore, visited him this morninir. In this connection, a correspondent of tho New York IJtrald any*: A gentleman who professes to know the fact* connected with the projected visit, states that General Lee, who is now in Baltimore, where he has heen staying for a week past, will come to this city to-morrow or neat dayand will he the guest of Montgomery Blair. It is stated that the General will visit the Executive mansion during bis stay here, and will bav* one or mora interviews with the President who baa requested General Lee to call upon kirn. It la intimnted that the oljeet of the interview sought for by the President is to obtain from General Lee his opinion of the working of the reconstruction laws in the State ol Virginia, and of the present temper of the leading eitisens of the South. What other matters are to be touched upon by the two principsl military ehieltains is not definitely known, but from all that has leaked out concerning the proposed conference, it is fair tc infer that it will be of more than ordinary significance. General Lee is stopping in Georgetown, and keeps aloof from publlo observation. Hit visit to the White House, this morning, wai the occasion of much interval. No other interviews were had with the President, by any one, after General Lee retired.
