The Fr«*.—It has been years, since the citizens of
this place have witnessed such a swell io the waters
of the James’ River as it ^>w exhibits—The rains
during the last of the Wt week, were not very
heavy here ; but they most have been much more
so above and at the mountains. • >
Col. Mayo's Bridge is, we hope, hot Tn slight
danger, in any part of it, yet the water touches the
highest side beams—two dorks , at Rockets are
swept off; a brig on her beam ends on another;
and vast quantities of lumber, timber and old tt|
float down the foaming current. We fear that v4
considerable damage has been done to the L,
grounds and batteaux above—and perhaps, some
lives lost. * > - ■ t' ••
