ANOTHER CoLoRED CELrBRATIoN.-On
yesterday, Lincoln Lodge, No. 20, Inde-
pendent Order of Good Samaritans, cele-
bratcd the first anniversary Of their organ
iZation. This is a benevolent society,
composed Of some of our most rcspccta-
hle colored people, and its objects are
"pcaCc on earth and good will toward all
men, One hundred and eight members
were in procession. They were dressed in
black, and wore handsome rcgalias made
Of white and blue silk, ornamentcd with
silver stars and braid. After passing
through some Of our principal streets, pre-
ceded by Dabney's brass band, the process
sion entered the First African church,
where i found the "Sisters of Samaria"
and large congregation of colored peo-
pie awaiting them.
W. Burwell, G.. NJ, called the meeting
to order, and prayer was offered by James
Hayes, Of Fredericksburg, and a portion
of Scripture was read. Rev. George
Dixon, formerly of Richmond, but at pre-
sent pastor of the colored Baptist church
at Fredericksburg, was then introduced,
and delivered very sensible, well-timcd,
and appropriate address, in which he en-
dcavored to impress upon his hearers the
duties they owe the country, the commu-
nifty in which they live, and themselves.
He was followed by Rev. DR.. Barnett, ma
tive of Africa, al present teaching school
in this city, who, taking up the same train
of remarks of the previous speaker, illus
tratcd the duty of fulfilling the great
motto of their society" Peace on earth
and good will TO men in n most happy
manner. Walter J. Snead concluded in
an address quite as conservative and ap-
propriate as the other speakers. A hymn
was then sung, and the meeting was ad-
iourned by bencdiction. If the principles
of this society are fully carried out by our
colorcd people, the whites and blacks can
always live happily together.

Finally. your Board rejoice that the

still lives. and that after the tempestuous
years of war, so greatly obstructing It's
benevolent operations by its concurrent
and following endorsements, 1t IS SUI
found reaching forth its hands of brotheriy
kindness, giving the Word of Life to the
destitute. May this announcement be
made, by the blessing of God, season for
the renewing of our strength, the reInspi-
ration of our hearts, and the recon
secration of our labors to the Heaven
blessed cause of the Bible.
The report of Messrs. Woodhouse &
Parham, agents of the Society, was then
| read.
The Treasurer's report (Dr. Baird) was
also read, showing the amount of his col
lections to be s3,442.H.
The meeting was then addressed by Mr..
John Dunlap. His remarks embraced a
brief sketch of the past achievements OF
the Bible Society, and pointed out in
clear and forcible manner the important
and largely increasing duties which lay
before il in the future. He referred feel
ingly to the new responsibilities which had
devolved upon us by the issues OF the
revolution. He predicted an immense tide
of immigration to our State and new
field of action would be here thrown open
for the operations of the Society. His ad-
dress was eloquent, appropriate, and we'll.
timed, and we regret that our crowded
space precludes anything but this mere
mention Of it.
He was followed by the Rev. DR.. Peter
kin, who spoke ably and eloquently upon
the objects and duties of the Society.
At the conclusion of DR.. Peterkin's ad-
dress the meeting adjourned.

A REsCUE.-Wc are glad to announce
that operations on the York River railroad
are about to be resumed, and that in few
days trains will be running on it. In a
raid the Federals burned the locomotive
York" " belonging to this road, at High
Point, n. c., in 1865, but enough OF the
machine was saved to permit its recon
struction, and the ruins were brought to
Richmond by Mr.. W. G. Fear in Decem-
Der, 1866. This locomotive has been tho
roughly repaired at the shops of the Union
Manufacturing Company in this city, and
will shortly be put upon the road. The
track is now in order to the Summit, and
the work of restoring it to its former con-
dition is rapidly progressing.
The schooner Pennsylvania arrived here
on Yesterday from Baltimore with 1875 tons
of rail for this road. The schooners G. K.
Conoyer and Hannah Warwick are now
loading at the same port-the first with
200 and the second with 230 tons. The
Conoycr will unload at Richmond and the
Warwick at the White House. 1t is eI'
pected that the road will be finished to the
White House in the next fifteen days, and
that a passenger train will run to that
point regularly thereafter.

FEAST AT LAUREL HILL.-This feast,
which opens at o'clock this afternoon,
will, we hope, be literally patronized.
The proceeds are to be devoted to rebuild
ing Four-mle Greek church, which was
destroyed during the war. The people OF
this neighborhood are very destitute, rem
dered so by the presence of large armies,
both Federal and Confederate, at different
times for four years, and now they ask the
aid of their more fortunate friends in re-
building this edifice. The noble women
who have undertaken this work only de-
sire to improve the moral and spiritual
condition of the people among whom they
live, and they cordially invite all who wish
a pleasant drive, or who would like to
spend a delightful hour, or proftatls dol-
lar. to 90 down there this evening.
