LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.
SurroS, va, Sept. 9th. 1861.


AS an extra courier starts this morning,
from this place, for Weston, hasten to
drop few lines. The weather has been
exceedingly wet for the past two days, so
much so, that a man cannot leave the
house aud temaiu ont Ave minutes without
being drenched.
Last night the telegraph lines were cut
in several places in Big Birch, aud the roads
completely blockaded with trees cut by the
rebels. The roads were almost impassa-
BILE, and it was with the greatest difficulty
that couriers could pass through. One OF
the couriers was shot at several times,
some ten miles from this place, on his way
from headquarters. The wire has also been
cut between here aud Weston. p
This leaves us totally without news
Two men of the Thirtieth Ohio, while out
with n company at Cites Mountain, were
shot yesterday, and died in few moments.
Mr. Cites, the guide, was also shot in the
arm. Lieutenant Colonel Boner sent outa
detachment of one hundred men to the
point where the company was attacked
These things have occurred in the face of
an army Of at least 10000 men. How long
murderers will1be let go with these nefa-
rious deeds of wickedness remains to be
seen.
The Tenth Ohio started yesterday for
GauIey Bridge. ~
The only difficulty we anticipate here
now is with those internal "bush-whack.
ers,n whose only ayocation seems to be
shooting down men in the dark. They
are too cowardly to enter the ranks and
face the cannon, but they prowland skulk
around under the trees and underbrush,
and shoot down all those who happen to
pass their track. However, this will not
last long, for the leaves will fall off the
trees shortly, and these rascals will have
to follow some other mode of warfare, or
desist altogether.
This point is but SHINY supplied with
troops at present; there being only four
companies of the ThiStieth, and one of the
Forty-seventh Regiment, here, under com
mand of Lieutenant Colonel Jones.
A change has been made in the Quarter
masters Department, yesterday. Lieutcn-
ant George O'Neil. of the Thirtieth, having

Within this large hall, squirting down,
their heads touching the mats, were three
or four hundred officials, including aoine
very powerful Damios, who hold in their

ceediug through this hall, they entered
the room Of the "Great Council OF State"
where they found tho Premier, or Minister

their knees. Taking an advanced position,
opposite raised floor, Mr.. Harris halt

walked up in front Of the Tycoon, and
delivered his speech, assuring the Tycoon
of the friendship Of the President of the
United States, his desire for the TycoOn's
happiness and prosperity, the qualification
felt in the United States at the visit Of the
late embassy. expressing the hope that that
event will strengthen the ties of friendship
between the two countries, and testifying
70 the excellent department Of the ENJOYS
while in this country. Mr.. Harris speech
was very short, but was exeelled in this
respect by that Of the Tycoon, who said /:
aTho receipt OF the letter and statement
Is satisfactory. The friendly relations be.
tween the two countries shall be increased
more and more. Your long residence here
mnst be Wearisome TO you
The Presidents letter, wrapped up in
white satin, was then handed by MIR Port
man to Mr.. Harris, who placed it in the
hands OF the Minister of State, and the
latter handed it to his Majesty. This done,
and his Majesty rose. when the American
Minister aud his interpreter Fctired.-
Neither of tho speeches was imPromptu j;
they were both written aud translated, and
