JEFF. DAVIS FIERcELY DENOUNCED.
Report of the Secretary OF the
iEi5Enazq Rebel Treasury. rl.rr
The Amnesty Proclamation
The Amnesty Proclamation In
tended to Make Capital for us
in Europe.
Z From the Richmond Sentinel, Dec. IL.

. (, From the Richmond Sentinel, Dec. IL.
We learn that President Lincoln, in his
Message, proposes that the States of our'
Confedercy shall take vote on the question
of returning to political union with the
States of the North. We have not been
able to see the Message ourselves. and do
not know the terms on which it is proposed
to receive US. We do not know whether
Lincoln proposes to suspend the war while
we are to consider the question, so as to
enable US to do so without intimidation
We do not know whether the proposed de-
cisiOns to which the States may arrive, are
to be acquisced in ,and finally, whatever the
decision may be, or whether they are only
to have virtue if given in particular way.
The right to decide involves the right to
choose; but, perhaps, Lincoln may not see
it so. We suspect that the invitation is
intended to blind his own people, and make
capital in Europe, while to us, it is but the
old song s---. ~..

The New York Gold Market.

The New York Evening Post, of yesterday,
says:
Gold opened early this morning at l52, and
the transactions prior TO the first session did
not greatly diyerge from the central line. The
sales at the Board are lower, ranging from 15O
to ISL.
Although the knell of many gOld-gambler's
fortune has struck, and 1t Is vain TO elude the
rigid grasp Of the avenging Nemesis, still great
energy, cunning, and activity are being ex-
hlblted by the doomed disturberS Of the public
credit.
But series of brilliant and desperate strate-
gical movements, though for time foiled, have
achieved a slight success. As we go to press,
the price has been pushed back, and registers
at 1872.
The gold fever, which has so long ragged In
the financial centres Of the nations life, seems
at length to have spent its force. The early
return towards sound financial health may fair
ly be attributed in part TO the good sound sense
of our people, and to the wise conservative leg
islation OF Congress. We have reason to know
that numerous piles Of privately secreted coin
have been tempted from their lurking places by
the high prices ruling during the past few
weeks. Those Of our citizens who, having
boarded gold, embraced the opportunity Of sell
ling out at l73 last week, will congratulate
themselves on having been wise in time.

A Fast Express.

The New York Evening Post, having remark
ed upon the outrages committed upon Union
men and women in Alabama, as follows;
"The Government should seize upon MessrS.
s. L. VI. Barlow, James Brooks, Luke Cozzen,
and others, TO hold them as hostages for the
safety and good treatment Of loyal men in the
South-informing Davis that these friends of
his will surely be hanged at the first proof of a
new outrage committed against a loyal Ala
bamiaB."
The New York Evening Express breaks forth
in this remarkable warnings
"The day after this lie done, Mr.. 'Post, make
your peace with God, and on bended knees, beg
for mercy. II in a city like this, of now 40, 900
Democratic majority, II the law is not omnipo-
tent, REPRIsAL, REVENGE will come"
The Express also suggests that the Grand
Jury should "indict william Cullen Bryant
and Parke Goodwin for melting insurrsction
and civil war;" and also intlmates that the
"Common Council might seize Mayor Opdyke,
and hold him as hostage for the safe release ol
the three other hos'dged gentlemen. .

" HisseS Were Given for Abraham Lin

low who was eating mHggoty cheese, and was
appealed to TO deSiSt and save life, replied that

that Abraham Lincoln can stand the hisses Of
