AFFAIRS IN LYNcHBURG.
The Virginian says:

Gradually the city is returning to it's
accustomed status, and falling into its
whilom ways and habits. business is
reviving, and the streets wear an AMI
mated and active appearance. Our old
merchants are resuming their pursuits,
and faces as familiar as household
words are reappearing behind the
counters. The notes of the tobacco
horn, musical to every Lynchburger's
ear, are heard again sounding through
the streets and alleys.
RE-oPESING OF THE SOUTHERN RAIL
ROAD.
The Petersburg Inder announces the
arrival, on Friday night, of the first
train from Weldon, at the old depot in
front of Jarrett's Hotel, and adds:
The re-opening of the road will add
largely to the receipts of produce i'll our
market, facilitate travel, and procure
us trade with the people of Southside
Virginia and North Carolina, and add
greatly to our prosperity.
SOUTHERN NEGROES GOING NORTH.

Speech Of Provisional Gov
!. ernor Johnson ofGeorgia.
Ab.half,past eight o'clock Provisional Gov
ernor johnson was introduced by Judge
Starncs in few brief remarks to largc and
respectable asseubIagc of our citizens at the
City Hall. -
toycrnor johnson said: After sangninary
conflict of four years, VIC find ourselves without
civil rights, we havo been compelled to yield
to superior numbers and resources. We ;lrc
now deprived of all civil government and stand
under the military authority Of the United
States, and must look to that authority for
protection and the administration OF juctice,
but do not think the people ofGeorgia desire
to always remain under military rule. The
Administration desires to do all that can be
done to assist you iii restoring civil govern
ment, aud placing the State i'll her proper re-

been appointed Provisional Governor, and I!
am here tonight to make known NY views.
Mv duty is PLAN and silupIc--tie making of
lleedfa rules for the assembling of a ruu,rn'
tion at the earliest practicable day, that the
people, The true source of all rishlful power,
nIav erect civil government. My warrant
for the authority may exercise is the Procla~
NATION of the President appointing me.
The duty of tue people is TO take tic oath
Of amnesty as prescribed b. tic Presidents
proclamation of Alay 29lh, which grants full
pardon for all political oifenc'>, to all who
were entitlclto take it; and he did not think
that the oath was in,cud2d to humi!iate the
p oplc, but only as :. necessary Measure to
prevent those getting into power who were not
friends of the Government.
If there were any who deemed that sub
scribiug to the oath as prescribed by President
Lincoln was sufficient to- return, them to the
rights of citizenship would not say whether
they were legally right or not, 1t was ques-
ton useless to argue, us the President had
distinctly said that no one should he eligible
to seats in the Convention or be cntitlcd to
vote for delegates who had not taken the oath
prescribed May 29tL: and be would therefore
urge every one to come forward and take the
oath, that they may assist in forming Ststc
Government.
He had been informed that some were hcsi-
,atinc to do so on the ground that it compelled
them to support and obey the Emancipation
Proclamation which they did not believe con-
stitutional. TO such he wou I'D not say that,
whether constitutional or hot, it would make
very little difference; as he thought slavery
would soon be abolished by the amendment to
the Constitution, which now wanted cut Tho
consent of two more States to become the law
of the land, and he thoug hit that consent
would soon be given. But whether given or
not, as lawyer, he believed that slavery WAS
and is legally abolished by the Proclamation
in virtue of the power given to the President
as Commauder-i Chief Of the army and navy,
which gave him the right to declare what
should be captured or destroyed, and having
