1t would be we'll for captains of vessels to
remember that the Back River Light will be
moved on or abont the 9th OF this month
The removal of this light is consequent upon
some repairs. Back river is the dividing line
between York and Elizabeth City counties,
and empties into Chesapeake Bay. between
the mouth OF Hampton Roads and York river;
There is quite shoal making out there, and
this is considered about the worst post of the
Bay. ~st.
We note no material change in wheat. The
demand is good, and the prices vary but
slightly from those last reported. We note
sales of red at S1ali5 and white $ll0al .25.-
Inferior lots are sold low, and at prices vary
ing according to quality. The receipts are fair,
and the article changes hands quite readily
The receipts of wheat this morning were 5000
bushels, and of corn 2tC0 bushels.

LYNcHBURG, September Cd.
The travel on the railroads connecting here
is Very heavy, and particularly so going East.
This increase in travel may be accounted for
from the fact that large numbers OF visitors
from the various watering places west OF this
are plodaing their way homeward. -
The amount of freight passing through here
in charge of the Adams Express Company, is
enormous-in fact, 80 large that they are fire.
quently compelled to let large quantities lay
over, in consequence Of not having time TO
make the transfer from one car to the other
although Mr.. Phelps, the efficient agent at
this city, is always at his post, and handles the
boxes at such rate as even to surprise his
most able-b bodied assistants.
An accident occurred yesterday, by which
negro woman, the property of Mr.. HILL of
Amherst county, was dangerously, if not ia
tally, injured. She was standing in the rear
of her cart, which was backed up to the edge
Of the pavement, when the oxen attached
thereto became frightened by the ringing of an
auction bell. and backing suddenly, jammed
her against the wall of a house, where she was
caught and severely mashed before assistance
could be rendered. She now lies in critical
condition.
The case of the Commonwealth against VIM.
Woudal, came up for examination yesterday
morning, and he was sent on for further trial,
but admitted to bail in consequence of contra
dictory statements of the witnesses.
Yesterday, party of our citizens, consist
ing of about twenty men, armed TO the teeth
with dou ble- barreled sho guns, powder, TASKS,
pouches and pocket-knives, started for Bed
