We have received New York papers of Friday, the 3d instant. Gold was quoted at 204 3-4. The peace commission meeting — Lincoln's Sudden Departure from Washington for Fortress Monroe. The Yankees have not yet learned the result of the conference between our commissioners and Lincoln and Seward. On Thursday, Washington was startled by Lincoln taking a valise, and, attended by a servant, getting aboard the train for Annapolis, where he took a steamer for Fortress Monroe. The Washington correspondent of the Herald says: Speculation as to the object and purpose of this Presidential "change of base" was universal, and the conclusions arrived at almost as numerous as the speculations. The most generally-entertained opinion, and which seems best substantiated, is that Mr. Blair, while in Richmond, gave a pledge, that if a delegation were sent to confer in reference to a settlement, they should have an audience with the President.

General Lyon's command sale. --Colonel Cunningham, of Lyon's command, who reached Selma on the 19th, informs the Rebel that General Lyon's forces are all safe on this side of the Tennessee river. Much anxiety has been felt for the safety of this portion of our army since the retreat of General Hood. It was left on the north side of the Cumberland, and fears were entertained that it would be unable to get out. In the face, however, of innumerable obstacles, General Lyon has succeeded in placing his command where it can re-unite with the army at its leisure. After the retreat of the army commenced, General Lyon made a rapid march in the direction of Louisville, passed in the vicinity of Elizabethtown, crossed the Cumberland near Carthage, and came out by way of Sparts and McMinnville.

e terms of re-union are few, and briefly told. The revolted States are not sought to be returned as captives, or as inferiors, or as degraded members of the national family. There is only one condition of restoration. It is not the abolition of slavery. To that both sides have at last agreed — the one because it desired, the other because it could not help it. That condition is, that the Union shall be restored. Latest from Sherman. The Yankee dates from Savannah are to the 28th ultimo. They announce with great joy the "opening of the campaign on the soil of South Carolina." The dispatch says: One portion of Major-General Sherman's army moved direct from Savannah, Georgia, and the other, consisting of two corps, moved from Beaufort, South Carolina, and were both rapidly advancing against Charleston, South Carolina. The latest intelligence from Sherman's army represents it to be at a distance of less than forty miles from Charleston.--The rebels were offerin

"During the conference, the proposed amendments to the Constitution of the United States, adopted by Congress on the 31st ultimo, were brought to our notice.

ng our soldiers in the hands of the enemy by selecting any one for special exchange, nor will we allow the enemy to say who we shall send in exchange for any officer or man sent to us by them. Mr. Clark, of Missouri, had good reason to believe the passage of this resolution was unnecessary, as the probabilities were very strong that there would speedily be a general exchange of prisoners. The resolution was adopted. A resolution, offered by Mr. Garland, of Arkansas, fixing Monday, February 20th, as the day for the adjournment of Congress sine die, lies over under the rules. Mr. Bell, of Georgia, offered a resolution inviting Messrs. Stephens, Hunter and Campbell, our returned peace commissioners, to address the members of Congress and the people generally on the subject of substitute of the country and the duties of the hour, in the Capitol Square, at such time as they may select.
