JEFFs sL,TEsr.-FoETREss Monroe, Friday, Dec.
1.-THE message of Jefferson Davis to the Con-
federate Congress was sent in on the 7th. He IS
yery respondent over the losses of the sronghoids
ofVicksburg Port Hudson, andmany other points.
He says there has been no improvement 1n'our
relations with foreign countries since his message
last January. On the contrary there is greater
divergence in the conduct of European nations,
assuming character positively unfriendly. lie
adds:
The marked partiality of Great Britain in favor
of our enemies is strongly evinced in their decl-
ions regarding the blockade, as well as IN their
marked difference of conduct on the subject OF inc
purchase of supplies by the two belligerents This
difference has been conspicuous since the com
mencement of the war. He continues: The public
finances demand the strictest and most earnest
attention.
prompt and efficient remedy for the present
condition of the currency is necessary success
full performance of the operations of government.
He recommends taxation instead of further sale
Of bonds or issues of treasury notes. adding that
sthe holders Of currency now outstanding can
only be protected by substituting for it some other
security The currency must be promptly reduced
to prevent the present inflated prices reaching
rates more extraordinary.
He calls upon the people to come to the rescue
of their country. He recommends putting an end
to the substitute business and modification OF
the exemption law, SO that the armies in the field
NAV be largely increased as rapidly as possible.
He regrets the suspension of the exchange Of
prisoners and that communication with the trans
Mississippi region is so DISTRACTED. Flo concludes
rs follows "The enemy refuse proposals for the
only peace possible between us. The only hope
for peace now is in O VII igorous resistance.

REroRr OF THE SECRETARY OF TIE TREAsURY.-
The report of Secretary Chase is the longest but
the most important Of the documents that have
been exhibited by the Departments. The receipts
ard expenditures of the past year have already
been stated in the Presidents Message. We add
tho estimates for the year ending June lst, 1864.
The total amount of actual and estimated expen-
ditures is 749 731 $780, A. and the total estimated
receipts from all sources S755, 5,5GS, 5OO.35; Of
which there have already been expended Sl76, ITO.
4G leaving $57J, t57, ST. SO to be provided for.
The estimated receipts from the ordinary sources
during the three-Quarsers of the year ending
September 80, 1863, SIZE, 000.G0, which leaves
Sitl 157, SIT 80 to be provided FOX by loans. The
estimated total public debt July, 1861 is 81, esq.,
oJJ. .OOO which is less than the former estimates
of the Secretary The estimated debt July 4,
1855. if the war continues, is -, 23l, OC0,O
The receipts from the internal revenue collections
aye less than was estimated being only thirty
seven millions of dollars, while the estimates
were eighty-fiye millions. The Secretary IS op-
posed to the issue of any more treasury notes
and wishes to rely on loans and taxation. The
report is a credtabe exhibit, and establishes Mr.
Chase's claim to be considered as one OF the
greatest financer in the world.

estimated at 10000. The delay In indicating the
precise date of the thirty days urough has caused
many to reconsider their first intentions. The
desire to visit their homes during the holidays has
proved more powerful than the liberal bountles
offered for re-enlisting. Five and perhaps SIX
companies of the 93d New-York Regiment have
re-enlsted. and are expected to start homeward
on Wednesday. This regiment has for long
time filled the responsible post OF headquarters
and provost guard. During this service they have
seized and turned over to the authorities at Wash
inpton over 90 600 prisoners. The regiment Is
temporarily commanded by Lieut.. Col. Butler.
The Oneida Cavalry, Capt Marsa, an independ-
ent company attached to the QuaItermastsrs De-
partment, are also re-enlisting, ana viii probably
be sent home to recruit.
The 1st Maryland Cavalry, Major Thlstleton
commanding, are also making rapid movements
in the same direction
The charges against Major-Gen. Humphreys,
chief of Maior-Gen. Meades staff, cause conslde-
rable comment among his brother officers; but so
far as can be ascertained from an extensive inter-
course with the army, these charges are almost
unanimously denounced as merely the emanations
of revengeful spirit, caused by just punishment
of a violation of military rules The charges are
so foreign to what is known of Gen. Humphreys
by his associates of many years standing that
they are unanimous in recommending him to take
of Gen Humphrey appointment made since the
charges were uttered, is now pending in the SEN
ate, the inference generally is that they have been
reproduced to obtain his rejection.
Hundreds of suffers to-day, under the new or
der, have crowded the Provost acknowledgements
office to obtain permits and transportation for the
much-needed supplies. The order gives universal
satisfaction.

GEN. SHERMAN's- CHRIsTMAs GIFT.-
There have been a good many APP

without gun or lifting hand for the
defence of one of the strongest points
of the confederacy. They blew up
the rebel iron-clads and the navy yard
before they started. The complete
ness of the triumph is diminished by
the escape of Hardee and his troops,
but no trouble need be apprehended
from them as they will not soon get a
stronger position for fighting than the
one thoy have voluntarily left. 1t is
doubtful if Hardee's army, improyised
of raw militiamen as it was, will be
able to keep together. 1t is more like
