oRREsPoNDENcE oFTHE DISPATCH.

CAMPBELL c. H., Va, March "a h, 1857.
The spirit of ircendiarism which has been so
prevalent in Lynchburg during the last two or
three weeks, seems to be extending to the sur.
rounding country. On last Friday evening, Goth
inst, Parker's large Academy, near this place,
was set on fire and entirely consumed with all its
contents The building was erected within the
last eighteen months, ard as one of the best and
finest of the kind in the State. No one can con
jscture what could have been the motive of the
wretch who applied the torch. Immediate steps
have been taken to erect another, which will be
completed In two months. In the mean time, the
school will be carried on in another building.
Farming operations are very backward in this
and the adjoining counties. The wheat is looking
very badly, and the tobacco plants, which were
sprouted by the warm weather, some weeks ago.
have been killed by the late cold snap, and the
farmers are re sowing at this late date.
Yours, &c, AGRICOLA
