United Stat for Virginia, tLet tho par
don from the President relieves tho proper

! Gscation. II may be further stated that the
general pardon obtained by citizens not
embraced in the thirteen excepted clauses,
/ who take tho oath of amnesty prescribed
by the Proclamation of May, operates, IN
the language Of the document ITSELF ns II
/ "lossoration Of all rights Of property

"hayc been inatituteli' that is TO say as we
suppose, had been instituted at the date Of

any Of the eXccptGd classes Immediately
take the oath, apply for special pardon,
and 20 on quietly with their business

Of s. 600 conditioned for his appearance
here when called for. The charge against
him is illegal persecution Of Union men
We cannot state by whose authority the
others were arrested or the offences with
which they are charged. Many rumors are
rife on the streets, but we forbcar to pub
lish any of them, as such rumors are gene
rally as likely to be incorrect and sensa
tional as true. The prisoners are confined
in the county Jail, and are not permitted to
hold any intercourse with any ono-not
even their attorneys One or two dcvla-
tions from this rule, under peculiar circum-
stances, only have been allowed. AS soon
as the courts are opened for business, they
will be turned over to the civil authorities
for trial. An examination Of the charges
and evidence against them will then de-
termine their right to trial.
Many aagrant crimes have been commit
ted during the past few years in the coun-
ties from which these arrests were made,
but whether the persons arrested are i'm
,bc known after an examination and trial
