Railroads aud the Mails.

The regular schedule Of passenger trains
was run on the Richmond and Allegheny
railroad Yesterday between Richmond and
Clifton FoEge, and excellent time was made,
all things considered. The train leaving
here at 9:l5 A. N. passed Lynchburg just
an hour lo'c, and the one due here at $50
i. NJ. arrived about two hours after schedule
time. II seems alHOst a miracle that this
entire line should have been gotten in a
passable condition 80 soon after the subsiding
Of the water, but the men operating 1t have
had wears Of experience, and they have
learned Just where 10 expect damage from
ireshets and how TO get II quickly repaired.
II is expected that the Chesapeake and
Ohio will be able - run their trains through
from Hanover Junction TO Richmond on their
own track to-day. a the South Anna bridge
had nearly been completed last night. on
all OF the other systems, except the Atlantic
Coast Line, the regular schedules are being
followed both for passenger and freight
business. Ii will he several days yet before
the Fredericksburg road will he open, but
i'm the mean time It's business is being handled
over the Chesapeake and Ohio and Virginia
Midland.
The arrival and departure OF mails at the
post.o1ice Yesterday was more regular tban
since last Thursday.
