from New York Herald Tribune, August 23, 1863:

Gangs continue to roam the streets of this city, attacking and lynching anyone who verbally disagrees with their contention that the war is lost and it is now time to make peace with the Confederacy. Mob violence is also being reported in Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Chicago.

With President Lincoln and most of his cabinet imprisoned in Richmond and a Southern army occupying Washington, it appears the mob is correct in its assesment. Vice-President Hamlin, acting as Chief Executive, is said to be considering opening negotiations with Mr. Davis in Richmond.

from New York Herald Tribune, December 10, 1863:

The war is over. A formal treaty of peace was signed in Washington and went into effect at midnight, December 10. The salient points of the agreement:

US cedes the District of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri to the Confederacy
US capital to be temporarily located in Philadelphia, pending final decision on a new location
US to pay an unspecified amount of damages to Confederacy for destruction of property in CSA territory (primarily along the Mississippi)
West Virginia to be admitted as a US state
Indian Territory to be annexed to the state of Texas
Abraham Lincoln to be removed as President of the United States. he will be released from CS custody on January 1
