Great Fresbet.

After two days of preparation, Northeast
storm set in on Saturday, the 9th inst, and con.
tinued with scarcely any abatement, till the af-
ternoon of Wednesday, the 10th. On Saturday
it rained, on Sunday it showed, on Monday and
Tuesday it raned and blew, and On Wednesday
it showed again. In the meantime the streams
were rising, and such food in every part OF
this county, was never seen before. The pas
senger train of the Central Railroad left this
place for Richmond on Wednesday morning, as
usual, but returned in the afternoon, having goi
no further than Charlottesville. The track low.
er down was SO much injured by the food thai
the trains could not pass, and consequently We
had no mails from Richmond from Tuesday till
Saturday night. Portions of the Parkersbure
turnpike, it is said, were literally washed away SC
as to be impossible by vehicles. During the EN-.
barge On the mails great solcitude was felt in the
community to hear from Lincoln's feet, the State
Convention, Fort Sumter, &C., and brisk trade
was carried Oh among the town wags in bogus
telegraphic dispatches. By the way, could not
the Central Railroad officers have transported
the mails cross the gaps, without waiting to re.
pair the track

The LYnchburg yirginian saws .sSome of th

The Lynchburg Virginian says ssSome of the
secession organs are publishing, with evident de-
light, an article from the New York Tribune of
March Both, ridiculing the efforts of Virginia to
restore the Union, and declaring that no ultima
tum, containing proposition to amend the Con-
stitution, that may be submitted by Virginia.
will be acceptable to, the North. The policy of
the Tribune is to forestall any action of the kind
on the part Of this State, or of the Border slave
States; and the design of the precipitators in
parading the nsolent fulminations of this aboli-
ton knave, is ssto fire the Southern heart,'' and
drive us into immediate secession" The
N Northern ssDisunionists'' are all at the game of
driving the WHOLE South into secession. They
WANT a ssGreat Northern Confederacy.'' If
they continue their present course, they may &C
complish their purpose, and have their hearts
desire, sooner, possibly, than they now expect.
After that we shall see. In all that constitutes
real strength, not only power of resistance, but
means of retaliation, the South has nothing to
fear, in contest, with any foe. The Northern
Confederacy, which the Northern Disunionists
wish to ssinaugurate," would in short time
dwindle down to New England; and New York
and her neighbors would establish government
of their own. The people of the North may be
assured that tie Disunionists AMONG THEM, (the
ultras, the black republican political leaders, the
favorers OF hostilites, the preachers of sscoer-
clon,'' the fanatics who wish to procure the Sc
cession OF the Border States for the sake of a
Northern Confederacy) are their worst enemies,
and, If successful, will bring ruin upon them.

THE STORM AND THE SOUTHERN RAILRoADs.-
The effect of the recent gale has been most de-
structive upon several of the Southern railroads
A portion of the Virginia Central Railroad, be-
tween Gordonsyille and Charlottesville, was
washed away on Tuesday night, thus interrupt
ing the communication between Alexandria and
Lynchburg. The Manassas Gap Railroad also
suffered considerably; land slides occurred at
several points along its length. The Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad was dam
aged by the storm so that communication be-
tween Aqua Greek and Fredericksburg was pre-
vented. The mail steamer returned to Washing
ton last evening with her passengers. Travel
over this line, it is said, will not be resumed IN
til Friday. Owing to these Interruptions, we
have failed to receive any exchanges south of
Alexandria since Monday.-[Balt. American of

Town Improvement.

The widening and deepening of the channel o.
the North branch Of Lewis Greek, from MAR
Street to CAREERS Foundry, is great improve
ment for Staunton. 1t is from this quarter thai
the foods which do so much damage come, but
hereafter we may feel safe from such visitations
Last week, while the surrounding country was
almost drowned and washed away, Stauntor
was entirely out of danger. Both sides of the
channel from Main Street to Mayse's lanyard
are to be walled up with heavy stone, and this
part of the work is vigorously progressing under
the efficient superintendent Of VIM. B. Kayser
ESQ.,. one of the Street Commissioners.

UNIVERSITY OF N. O..

Chapel Hill.
At meeting of the students who have been
drilling under Maj. r. D. Lilley, OF Stanton.
Va, the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted
Reso1Ued. That we take great pleasure in sta
ting that we have derived all the advantages an
ticipated from the instructions of Maj Lilley in
military tactics.
Resot0ed further, That we can heartily re-
commend him to all as not only fully competent
to give instructions in this branch OF education,
but also as being gentleman in every sense OF
the word, and as such he has the entire feeling
of respect and friendship of the whole company.
We believe that no one could have instructed
our large number (about sixty tnen) more thor
ougbly in the same length of tune, especially
when much of our time was devoted to the
usual College exercises, and only the leisure
hours OF the day and the moonlight nights could
be spared for the drill. To those who have not
seen US, this will be sufficient to convince them
OF our satisfaction with the instruction we have
received; but to those who see US on parade
nothing more is necessary to convince them of
the ability of our instructor.
RessJoed, That copy of the above be for
warded to the commaDdant of the Regiment
with which Maj. Lilley is connected.

The Oil Business.

The oil fever has reached this county, and
several of our citizens have become victims te
the contagion. The large number of persons
rushing into the business, and the sudden wealth
said to have been realized by some, remind us o.
the various speculative manias which have ragged
at different times in almost every country. Oil
is a valuable commodity, and this kind of oil
NAV be the best in the world, but the enterprise
is rapidly becoming species of stock, jobbine
Of which more fortunes will be lost than made.

10 The last annual meeting of the Tunker
Church resolved to hold the next meeting in
Rockingham county, Virginia; but their organ,
the Gospel Visitor, recently suggested to change
the place to free State, owing to the present
political excitement. The ministers of Augusta,
Rockingham and other counties, however, have
published card in which they say, sswe appre-
bend no more danger of the brethren from the
free States coming to us, than for us going to a
free State and returning home and we think
there is no danger of going either way" They
are, therefore, opposed to any change.

War Commenced.

We publish as full accounts as possible OF re-
cent exciting occurrences at Charleston and other
places. War has actually commenced. After
all his declarations in favor of peace, President
Lincoln has taken course calculated inevitably
to provoke collision, and to unite the whole
South in armed resistance. 1t seems that he
attempted to throw supplies into Fort Sumter
and thus the war began.
P. S. A despatch has just been received u
o'clock Monday from Col. Geo. Baylor, of the
Convention at Richmond, stating that Lincoln
has called out seventy thousand Militia. Where
from? For whats The Colonel wishes to know
what the people here think. There is but ont
sentiment-every man is ready 10 take up arms
Intense excitement prevails in the community.

INFORMATION WANTED.-We fDd in the At
lanta (Geo) Southern Confederacy the report of
q speech recently delivered in that city by the
Hon. Thomas B. r. Cobb We take from it the
following brief extract:
1--WE have been connected with Government
which bad men controlled, full of obnoxious rev.
dictionary proceedings, and not altogether blood
less. That Government was unjust to US, and
heaped oppressive measures and policy upon US. ~
We are curious to know, says the NatioDa-
Intelligencer, who these chad men" were, and
what measures of policy adopted by the late
dominant Democracy were SO unjust" and sop
pressive" to necesstate the separation of which
Mr.. Cobb speaks. We are sure be does not mean
to designate his brother, the Hon. Howell Cobb.
who, during nearly the whole period of the late
Administration, controlled" the Treasury De-
partment, and we are equally certain he does NOT
point to the distinguished President of the Con
federate States, who was ruling spirit of the
preceding Administration. But if the facts are
as Mr.. Cobb states, both of these distinguished
funclionares are undoubtedly to be gravely GEN.
sured for not raising at an early day their warn
ing voice against the presence of "bad men, in a
Government '.full of obnoxious revolutionary
proceedings" Why wait to have the fact au-
chemically published only when the control of
the Government had passed out Of the hands of
the Democracy?
