RAILROAD oMMUNICATION.

We learn from the Richmond BuIle-
tin, OF the 4th inst, that the Richmond
and Petersburg Railroad was to have
been turned over to the autholiues
thereof, on the Sd inst, when a new
schedule will be run.
Trains on the Orange and Alexandria
road commenced making regular trips
to Manassas on the Sd inst. W. w.
McCafferty, Esq, has been appointed
General Superintendent.
On the Virginia and Tennessee road
we have the best authority for sat liz g
that trains will be running from Lynch
burg to Bristol in four weeks at the far
thest.
A prominent railroad official gives it
as his opinion that tie Roads will be
so far repaired in less. than two months,
that we may 90 by rail from Richmond
City to alb points South and West, rs
before the war, W. thout interruption or
other delay than that which may at any
time be caused by accident. We shall
be truly gratitied to hail the day when
this happy contamination shall have
arrived and we sincerely hope the pre-
dlctlOn may prove true.

to enjoy the day in swinging, throwing

The hour for dinner at hand, parties
of five, ten, twenty, thirty, forty and

the delicacies and refresh ments OF the
season. We took a 'shand' at that game
ourselves and can testify that every
thing iii the eating line was gotten up
in the very best style, aud we enjoyed
it to our "fullest extent"
After dinner the usual plays and fes-
tivities were entered into with fresh
zest and all seemed to enjoy themselves
finely.
There was slight shower about 8
o'clock in the evening, which only tend
ed to cool and refresh the party for new
enjoyments.
Night rapidly approaching, the school
was marched back to town, after.a day
spent in the richest enjoyment. May
we all live to enjoy many ;l.ore such

better style than it presents at present.
THE OATH OF AMNESTY.
A strange delusnion prevails in regard
to the propriety OF taking the oath Of
amnesty. Many seem to think that
there is no necessity for taking it and
that they can take It Or not, as happens
ITO suit the fancy Of individuals.
This is a dangerous error, and one
which should be promptly dispelled.
Under existing laws Of the y. States,
every citizen Of the Southern States,
with VIEW few exceptions] has been
guilty q \eson. Treason consists not
only il pg war against the United
States giving ''aid and comfort"
to its les. "Aid and comfort" are
very bread terms. They embrace all
who have aided or assisted the Confed-
efate Government in any form or shape,
directly or indirectly. All who have
voted for any officer of the Confederate
or State Government, during the war.
all who have been in the military, or
civil service of either Governmental
who have given horses, arms, clothing,
food, or money to any of the Confede-
rate soldiers TINKER WHO has
paid $500 to the G. States, to keep out
of the service-every detailed farmer
who has raised provisions for the G. S.
Government, under contract with it has
given aid and comfort to the enemies of
che y. s., and has, therefore, technical
ly been guilty of treason, and is liable
to its penalties. These pen alties .are
confscation, Imprisonment, and death.
The President of the y. S. influenced
by humane motives, has offered amnes-
ty, or pardon, to all, except certain spec
flied classes, on terms prescribed by
himself. But the offer is conditional =
He says you may be ,patdoned IF you
aosW take the oath Of amnesty.
That is the condition and tire only
condition, on which the pardon is prom
ised. Those who do not choose to take
the oath, are not entitled to the pardon
those who do take it, are absoIved
from the penalties.
It will be seen, therefore, that all who
desire pardon, had better take the oath
without delay. If they do not. both
their property and persons are IN dan
ger. They will, at least, be at the. mer-
cy If every malicious enemy, until they
do take it. The oath squares the ac-
count, and relieves the party from all
apprehension.
Every man, therefore, who wishes to-
stand on safe footing, and to have his
life, liberty and property secure nom
hazard, had better take it without any
hesitation.
1t they fail to do so, they may find
proceedings instituted against them, in
the y. s. Court, aud then it will be too
late-the door will be slammed in their
faces. Then they will begin to whine,
and say: II did not know such would
be the consequences; | always intended
to take the oath, but was too busy, &C."
But it will then be- too late, :, and they
must take the.consequences of their fol-
ly. Itwould be better for them to leave
anything else undone to attend TO this
most important duty.
Let all then take warning in time
The oath can certainly do no harm. 1t
requires nothing unreasonable, end it
will certainly save all who take it much
trouble and, anxiety in the future.
