GREAT FRESHET AND DESTRUCTION OF Crops
The Danville Va, Appeal gives some details of
the destruction to growing crops incident to the
recent heavy fall of rain in that section of country,
and the consequent rise of the rivers and other
streams. The greatest amount destroyed Tsays the
"Appear"] is probaly upon Dan river, below Dan
vile, where the river banks have been overlooked
and the entire lower grounds submerged. Dan riv-
er has been higher than it has been before in a
very long while, if we except, perhaps, the flesh
ct of June, 1867, and it was nearly as high as then.
Along the bank of the river for miles nothing
was to be seen but one vast sea Of water stretch>
ing from one hill side to the other. The low
grounds were planted either in corn or wheat,
and it was truly a melancholy sight, in these times
of threatened famine, to see such vast quantities of
the latter staple, already harvested ready for thresh-
ing, swept eway by the current. In some places
one could see great crowds Of shocks, still preserv-
ing their form, floating bodily down the streams
whilst at other places the wheat, having been
moved and left lying upon the ground, was
swept off in that condition, and could be seen
sitting like sea-weed upon the surface ofthe water.
