Produce Exchange necessarily omitted yesterday: Whereas, The members of the New York Produce Exchange' hare learned, by the proceedings of the first public demonstration of the people of Savannah since its reoccupation by the Federal au thority, convened to give expression to their sentiments and views, and that they ‘‘accept-the situation,” and in the language of the President of the United States, seek peace by laying down their arms and submitting to the national au thority under the Constitution; and l Whereas, The Mayor of said city, in calling said meeting to order and desig nating its objects under the new condi tion of public affairs there, stated “that said city contains twenty thousand hq habitants, without food, without sue ] and without any remunerating industria pursuits, and without any place of ref uge be it therefore unanimously Resolved, Fkst. That the action of the citizens of Savannah, Georgia, in again recognizing the authority of the Federal Governmeut, comes emphatically to us as glad tidings}; and we heartily rejoice that their patriotic course must soon re store that city to those cordial business, commercial and political relations with the City of New York which marked their former intercourse previous to the breaking out of the existing rebellion. Resolved, Second, That the members •f the New York Produce Exchange, in common with their fellow citizens, have learned with the profoundest sorrow of the suffering necessities of many of the citizens of Savannah, and in order to manifest our sympathy and contribute as far as possible to their relief, we rec ommend the appointment of a Commit tee of Seventeen to co-operate with the committee already appointed by the Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the sufferers of Savannah, so that the entire commercial community of the city of New York may extend that aid which their own munificence and the distress of the sufferers demand. Resolved, Third, That said committee be authorized to take such action as shall i* the most prompt, practical and effi cient manner secure the objects desired, and they are further authorized to de pute one of their own numbers, or some member of the Produce Exchange, to jointly accompany any person designated kj the Chamber of Commerce, to Savan nah, to deliver the articles forwarded to the Mayor of said city, for distribution in accordance with such regulations as the Military commander there may adopt. Resolved, further, That the President of the Produce Exchange be requested to unite with the President of the Cham ber of Commerce in requesting the Presi dent of the United States to give the re quisite authority for the admission into the port of Savannah of whatever articles ot tood and clothing, not contraband of war, may be gratuitously furnished and forwarded by the ship already generous ly offered bv the citizens ot New York to the suffering people of Savannah.

Tup Fall of Fort Fishbr.— The de mnad for our paper containing the ac count of the fall of Fort Fisner, yester nay, showed the intense interest in this great victory.

If it appear that they are honest in their in tention of forever deserting the Rebel cause, care will be taken to explain to them that they will not be forced to serve in the U. S. Army against the Rebels, nor be kept in confinement. The President’s Proclamation of December 8, 1863, will be read to them, and if they so desire, the oath therein prescribed will be administered to them.

Those who come to the Army of the Potomac will be for warded to the Military Governor of the District of Columbia, at Washington, with reports in their cases, that employment may be given them if desired: or, if not, that they may be sent as far North as Philadelphia.
