A GovERxxExr SALE of condemned horses,
mules, wagons, harness, 81, is announced to take

son and better times admit Of the purchase of
fresh and better farming stock and implements
The terms of sale require payments to be made on
the day of sale in specie or Federal currency

AN IMPORTANT ORDER FROM GENERAL HALLEcK
is published this morning. 1t affects all persons
who we're in the military civil service of the late
Confederate Government, no matter what their
rank or employment All such will be permitted
to take the amnesty OATH and will receive the cor
responding certificate. Those excluded from the
benefit of the amnesty oath can make applications
for pardon and restoration TO civil rights, which
applications will be received and forwarded through
the proper channels for the action of the President
OF the United States. The fact that such persons
have voluntarily come forward and taken the oath
of allegiance, will be evidence of their intention to
resume the status of loyal citizens, and constitute
ground for Executive clemency.
