We have cast our eyes oyerrhe 4th Vol. of
the History of Virginia, originally commenced
by MIR. Burk, and continued by Messrs. SHELTON
Jones and Louis III. Girartiiu--the whole com
prising history of this State, from the settle
ment of the Colony down to the surrender of
CORVALLIS, in 1881. The work is interesting TO
every man, particularly every Nirginian--and
is executed in 8 style calculated to do much
justice to the subject.
The 4th Vol. which has just ssued from the
press, Is commenced by MIR. Jones : bat, after
few pages, ii is taken up by Mr.. Girardin, wEo
carries il OH to the end.--'rhe three first No.

interesting facts, exhibited by the masculine
and enlightened pen of Mr.. Giiardi6, who
shows himself throughout tie able historian
and the enthusiastic friend of the cause OF LIB.

The whole comprises a history of State
Which, for size, for population, the achieve
ments other sons, her exertions in the cause OF
freedom, and her influence upon the destinles
OF this great nation, is perhaps unequalled il

DEAR SIR,
FREpERrcxsBuRc, August l6


II is with sincere regret we learn, that
considerable injury has been done in the
surrounding neighborhood by the heavy
fall Of rain on the night Of the 9Th, and
morning Of the 9th instant. All the small
streams in the country swelled to prodi-
gious height; and two mill-dams in the
vicinity ofthis town. Zone known by the
name of Drummond's, and the other the
property Of Major Jones Of Stafford } I'M
able to withstand the impetuosity Of the
torrent, gave way, and have been drained
of their waters. We have heard OF some
others sharing the same fate. Much da-
mage has been sustained by fences being
entirely swept off and it is with sorrow
We learn, that Mr.. William StOrke, who
lives within mile and a halfof this town,
had not only portion of his fencing car
RED away, but about 20 head of sheep
drowned. We fear there is much yet to
hear Of the destructive effects of this vio-
lent fall of water Our river, although it
rose very rapidly for few hours, did not
attain SO great a height, by several feet,
as we have known il on similar occasions
this can only be attributed to the rain not
extending far 10 the westward. Had il
been as heavy upon the tributary streams
near the mountains, which form the Rap
paliannock, we have no doubt il would
have swelled to degree unknown TO our
oldest inhabiiant. Herald.
