Spring Races.


SECOND nAN.
The second days races took place ysstsr-
Gay, aud were highly interesting. In the
frst race, between MiunehRhA and Bob
Ridley, the former distanced the tier, and
came in an easy winner. Time $50.
In the second race, FOR 3 purse Of $50, the
following was the time made by nine
horses: Lady Wetherby s.2s.; Roanoke 81;
JeG Hyde 2.598.; White Cloud SIS; (. P.
Fort ssh; Slim 81; Trouble 81; Frank
S.l7I.; Umpire 81. The race was awarded
to JeH Hyde.
The third race, between Salndin, Hamlet,
Unknown, shsmrOek, and Grey Eagle, was
almost decided by the hrst heat. All the
horses but saladin and hamlet were dis
taneed, the horse ssladin winning the
heat. In the second heat, saladin led
Hamlet from the start, coming in an easy
winner OF the purse, $1,000.
We would remark that with one excep-
tiou, the reporters Of the city press were
excluded from the Judges' Stand, in the
trotting race, aud such injustice is discred-
table, 10 say the least
In the running races, Mr.. johnson, the
President, invited the members of the
press 10 the stand, without distinction, re-
marking at the time that he had no; for.
gotten the good old custom, which PLACED
the press in the most desirable position &c
record the races. He has the thanks Of th'
press Of this city for his courtesy and kind
uess 70 the reporters who were excluded.
The proprietOrs Of the oOurse, Messrs
Bruuer 4 Douglas, spared no pains 10 rea
der the races agreeable 70 all, and the!
have succeeded admirably thus far.

RETURNING TO THETR DUTIEs the
last two days three hundred and thirty
men and officers, lately Of the rebel army,
took the oath Of allegiance at Captain Good
wins Office in this city. We were present
LAST night at the closing Of the office. The
men who had returned "from far eoun-
try" where they hsd ''wasted their sub
stance" and had been fed with "the husks
that the swine did not est, we're ranged
IN front. They were then kindly informed
what routes they could take 10 reach Their
homes; what ratiOns would be allowed
them, and that sleeping accommodations
would be furnished to those that desired it.
One young fellow, mere boy, with a hand
some face and a frank, attractive counte-
nance, LEFT the rest and stated 70 the officer
that his home WIS only four miles from the
city, and requested that he might be al
lowed TO start for it ct once. This request
was al once complied with, and tie rest
we're told that any one wishing TO leave
under similar circumstances could have
permission on stepping forward. This sew
eral among them did. Others came up TO
make individual enquiries Of the officers,
all Of whom were answered with good
nnturned attention. The thoughtfulness
OF these officers for the unfortunate men
before them was a pleasing thing to see,
and is most creditable 70 their feeling |
hearts. They are Of that noble nsture who
treat the fallen with msgnsnimous gener-
osity. God bless them for It. Il was no
less pleasing to see the quiet relying con- |
fdeuce with which the men made their re- |
but most ObssquiOusly |
as 10 friends. We saw nothing sui |
len or approaching to insolence in |
single one Of them. They had been |
waiting many hours to go through the csr-
smony Of swearing their allegiance to the
Of their country, and placing |
themselves sgain under the protection Of |
he cold flag, now more dear, more priced, |
md more revered than ever before, and |
always done with becoming patience and |
luistness that was touching to witness.
Shall We not initiate the generous con-
iuct these noble young officers have set US? |
II these men who have been conquered by |
The fortunes OF war, desire to resume their
places among their feIIow-eitizens, will we |
not welcome them with com
passionate and kindly hearts Those
who retain malice and enmity and are
guilty Of insulting conduct, must receive |
Just punishment, but those Who accept the |
result Of the war in good faith, and come
among us again with an honest desire to
nencelorth fulfil THAR duties as good citi-
.ens, shall we not encourage and strength
IN and help on the way TO integrity and
oyalty. Let US not forget the sacred words
hat we are taught to use in our daily ap-
'eals 10 the Government against which all
+ US have again and again rebelled: :" For
i've US our trespssses as we forgive those
7ho trespass against US" No man will be
ess patriotic, less loyal 10 his country, less
oYoted TO his flag, for throwing the man
le Of hearty and manly charity over past
rrors.
