TUESDAY MORNING.... NOV. 9 lssu,
| THE STORM IN SoUTHwKsTERN VIRGINIA
Virginia aid Tennessee Railyoad.-A telegram
from l.. Ii. Gill, Superin tendent of the vir.
ginia and Tennessee Railroad, says that the
damage to that road by the storm will not ex-
| coed In cost $l2, 900, and that the trains will
| resume their regular trips early next week
The Superintendent has made an inspection
| OF the road, and his statement is made from
| actual observation. There are now 300 hands
employed repairing the gaps in the road. The
| Wytheville Times says:
| The flood produced by the immense q quantitv
OF rain which fell in this section on Sunday
| night, Monday and Monday night last, was of
| 1t has been witnessed since the memorable
/ hood or 1910. On the Virginia and Tennessee
| Railroad, some ten bridges, we learn, We're
swept away, whilst great quantity of the
| en- observation-disclosures totally destroyed. Along
Reed Greek the damage can hardly be esti-
| mated. Messrs. G 9. Kent, 5000 bushels, }
Randall McGavock, Stephen McGavock. and
| Maj Robert Sayers, we understand, lost a
| large amount of fencing and corn-the latter
gen tleman alone, we believe, lost 1900 ushels
| of corn. New River is said to have surpassed
| itself, being some five or six feet higher than
| IL was at the time of the freshet of 1S40. Great
| damage, we fear, has been done along this
| stream.
The Abingdon Virginian says:
Owing to the heavy fall of rain on Sunday
| night and throughout the day on Monday, Il
| heavy slide occurred near Max Meadows and
| two bridges were swept away on Peak Greek.
| Consequently we have had no through mail
| since Monday morning. We cannot learn full
particulars of the damage, as a portion of the
| telegraph line has shared the fate of the
| bridges. All the waters in Southwestern Vir
| ginia are said to have been higher than for
| years, and great damage has been done to
| mills, fences and to corn crops on the bottoms.
| THE HANGING OF REV. MR.. BRwLEY.-The
subjoined paragraph occurs in a letter written
| to the Galveston (Texas) Christian Advocate
| by III. w. Smith, of Waxahachie:
81 see In your paper of September 81 an ex-
| tract from a letter from me in relation to
Rev. MIR. Bewley, of Fort w orth no toriety. At
the time wrote gaVeyo what were the facts
at my late visit 10 Fort Worth vicinity. But
wrote after my return to Alta Springs, more
than one hundred miles from Fort Worth. /
| now find that on this visit TO this country,
| that since was here BEFORE the said Mr. Bew-
| ley was followed 10 the vicinity of Spring
| field, Mo-, taken and brought back to Fort
| Worth, and on the 18th of September, 1860,
| was hung on the same limb OF the same tree
| on which Mr. Crawford had been hung before
4 u
lished in your paper some time ago, was GER
tainly addressed TO Rev. Mr.. Bewley. Ii is
further stated here that the son-in law of Mr..
| Bewley, Rev. Mr.. Willett, has been taken III
| Missouri, and is now on his way back to Fort
Worth, where he will hang on the same limb
This part of information is by letter from the
| eastward TO a gentleman III Fort Worth. The
| Information in relation to Mr.. Bewley is true
| regret that the thing has got into confusion
| At the time / was here prior to this l wrote
| the facts. But he has been brought back since
| and was hung, suppose, about the da'e of
| my letter to you, or, perhaps, a few days prior
| to that time. You, however, have the precise
|! date in this OF his execution, and think there
| is little doubt that Rev. Mr.. WIlett is on his
| way back-a few days will determine that !;
| If he is, he will certainly hang on the same
| tree"
INDIAN MAssACRE-The Dallas Mountain
| eer contains letter written from the Umu-
| tilla Indian Reservation, by it's Supernten-
| dent, on the Sd of October, giving an account
| of another Indian massacre. The letter says :
| Yesterday two brothers named Keith, ar
| rived here, reporting that the train to which
| they belonged had been attacked by the Sho-
| shones or Banack tribe of Indians; that a
| large number OF emigrants had been killed.
| and the remainder driven away from their
| wagons and scattered. The men arrived here
| much exhausted, having subsisted on some
| dried horse meat for twenty-one days. The
| names of the murdered are as follows: j..
| Myers, VIM. Autley, Lewis Lawson, Justice
CTeese, Charles kersner, Elijah Otter aid his
| wife, three daughters and one son.
When the brothers Keith left the train there
| were alive Joseph Myers, wife, and five chill
dren A. McNorman, wife, and five children ;
| Daniel Chase, wife, aud three children Saml
| q leason, Charles Jeffy, MIR. Munsay, and six
children of Elijah Otter. When last heard
| from they had nothing to eat. Some provis-
ions have been sent to their assistance, and it
is hoped they will arrive III time to save them
| from starvation. The attack was made be-
| tween Salmon Falls and Fort Balse. If they
| are yet alive the supplies will save them.
| STORMY MEETING" Minute Menn-Gov
| Wise spoke at Oxford Hall in Portsmouth
last Saturday night, to an immense throng,
chiefly in support of the Princess Anne reso-
| lutions. The Transcript says
| He occupied four hours, and when a motion
was made and seconded to adopt the same
programme here, a perfect storm prevailed
| among the friends and opponents of the Min
ute Men project. 1t is admitted by all parties
| that nothing like it was ever witnessed here
| before. The difficulty grew out of a misun-
| derstanding with regard TO the character of
| the meeting, some parties asserting that it was
| a citiZeas meeting and others that it was a
| democratic demonstration, to which all parties
| were invited as hearers and voters, but not as
! speakers. Atany rate, it was after II O'Clock
| when quiet was restored and the meeting had
| to adjourn before reaching vote. The upshot
\ Al
| of organization here, and 600 or 700 will be
rolled before tomorrow morning. 1t is not
to be party organization in any respect. but
| will receive any gentleman who is friendly to
| Virginia and her sister southern States.

| BuENos AYREs.-We have adv ices from
| Buenos Ayres to the 22d of Septem Der. The
| terrific storm which visited that place on the
| goth and 3Oth of August had very little effect
| on the commerce of the pert, as the goods and
| vessels lost were mostly insured in Europe.
| The ex tent of the damage TO American shipping
| was stated in our former advices. The amC unit
| of goods in bond in the city was so great as to
| necess itate the renting of store-houses by
| Government, and cargoes were often sold at a
