The FIX ssHET.--Th recent storm has proved
very destructive in the interior Of Virginia.
The s'taunton Spectator says that such flood,
in every part OF Augusta county, was never
seen before. The passenger train of the Cen
tral Railroad left Staunton for Richmond on
Wednesday n,orning, as usual, but returned
in the atte noon, ha wing got no further than
Charlottesville. The track lower down was
much inj ared by the flood that the trains
could not p3ss, and consequently We had no

away, SO as 10 be in va ssabe by vehicles.

GEORGIA ITEMs.--In Savannah, on Satur-
day, (says the News,) shortly after the arrival
of the news from Charleston of the surrender
of Fort Sumter, several vessels in our harbor
raised their 11ags-the old Stars and Stripes
under the authority of the Harbor Master
The immense crowd which had gathered in
front of our Office, noticing the fact, went i'm
mediately under the Bluff and ordered the
flags down. The order was promp pity obeyed.
There seems TO have been some fDiSunder-
standing as to the orders for the raising of the
United States flag, the masters of the vessels
declaring they intended no insult TO the Con-
tederate States.
Almost simultaneously with the exhilerat-
ing news from Charleston of the reduction OF
Fort Sumter, came the announcement that
Alexander r. Lawton had been appointed to
Brigadier- Generally in the Confederate
Army.

GEN. JACKSON, OF WooD.-The Parkersburg
(Ta) News, commenting upon the assertion
of Gen. Jackson, of Wood, during the debate
upon Mr.. Preston's resolution in the Conven-
ton that in no event would his cons tituency
join the Southern Confederacy, says:
1t becomes our duty, in behalf OF the people
of this county, to express Il decided dissent
from Mr.. Jackson's position, as stated by the
papers. and to deny in toto his assertions in
reference to our people.
We think the resolution was eminently just
and proper, and we have yet to hear single
opinion to the contrary expressed by any MAN,
of any party, in this place. 1t was adopted
by the votes of Union men, and asked nothing
more than it was right for the Convention to
know.
We also deem it proper to state, that if our
Union must remain disrupted, and we, as Nir-
ginians, must make choice between joining
the South or being tied to the tail of a Black
Republican, negro-e equality Government, the
people of Wood county, true Firginians
will go with their Southern brethren. If there
| are any of our citizens who would not prefer
| this course, they can only be found among
| those who are in name or in fact Black Re

has continually held out 10 the seeded States
the lure that they would find the North di-

Ahk "Ah-Anhr AND NAVY NEWS
From our late New York exchanges We take
up the following particulars Of the war move
ments:
Work at the Navy Yard is almost as brisk
rs If the weather was fine. The Wabash will
be ready in ten or twelve days the Savannah
In about three weeks. The Perry is in a con-
dition to receive her crew now, but no men
have been ordered for her. The marine bar
racks still have two commissioned officers, in
stead Of FIVE. The labor rell contains over 900
names. The machine shops are all busy with
the machinery Of the Wabash and Roanoke.
The ordnance department is still "at the bat
teries."
The steam tugs which left this city for
Charleston in company with the late Southern
feet, have not been reported at Charleston,
and il now appears nobody has ever seen them
there. They have been expected to return to
our harbor this day or tomorrow, but there is
more reason to believe that their destination
In the first place was a more Southern latitude
than Charleston. The man who chartered
them for the Government knows nothing about
them.
Now that Fort Pickens is likely to be the
scene Of some military and naval strategy, it
may not be out of place to give statement of
the available force in Florida at the command
Of the Federal Government, both for land and
sea service. In a naval vessel, in war time a
certain portion Of the crew are told off for dis
embarking, should circumstances render that
course necessary. One Of our correspondents
lately stated that 800 men. from the ST. Louis,
Sabine and Brooklyn, had been put down for
going over to Pickens, at a signal from Lieut..
Slemmer. Annexed is a list Of the ships that
might be drafted from, together with the num-
Der Of men they could spare, should their ser
vices be needed
