Since our last paper we have heard from seve-
raj counties, and from all get the same melan-
ehoy iidings OF the fearful injury done by the
Fresh.
On Noitoway River immense quantities OF Wheat
and Oats have been swept off, and the Tobacco
and Corn have been greatly injured.
These losses, when taken in connection with the
severe pecuniary pressure already existing, will
render this memorable year in the history Of
VIrginla. But VIC must not despair. Energy, in
dusiry, and economy will put things straight again
and the storm which now beats upon us will enable
us to enjoy the calm when il comes.-Pet. Int.
