DAMAGE TO CRoPs.-It is fortunate that
the great fresh occurred at this autumna
period, instead OF earlier in the year. Pro.
badly the only crop in the low grounds was
corn. That was matured and standing on
the stalk; and though it has sustained
great injury wherever it was under water,
much of it will be saved, at least tit fol
feeding stock. Where the current was
strong, however, it was likely borne down
and buried in the mud or washed up. In
the latter case an entire loss, and in the
former not much better than a loss.
TO the patient and hopeful this year OF
flood holds out the year of promise. The
inundation of the lands will enrich them
better than they could have been by arti'
fetal means. Next year, if free from
drought, such crops rs the overtiowed lands
will yield will make the farmer happy.

The Flood Of ITO.

To he little more specific than we are In
allusion elsewhere, we devote this para
graph TO the subject. 1t has been said that
in the flood of ITO the water rose to the
spot where the Exchange and Ballard House
now stand. That Is incredible. The asser.
ton is mereiinference. The tradition was
that the river reached the foot of Council
Chamber Hill. Now, Council Chamber Hill
in ITO was Notwithstanding out boldly.
and towering above the hills Of Richmond
at least fifty feet above its present summit
It's slopes were all perfect down to the plains
or more level lands below. On the east side
it descended to near Shockoe creek, proba'
bly, to I.umpkin's alley and there it was
that the insurrectionary waters OF the river
layed It's feet. That was the true story
The water could not have reached its base
anywhere else. The base line OF boundary
between that hill and the lower grounds
was at any other point inaccessible to any
rise of the river that we can suppose posi-
bile from any cause much less in consequence
than the forty days and forty nights rain oil
Noah's food.
We are satisfied that the food OF Satur-
day was the highest of which we know any
thing. printed or traditional. But all the
information on the subject which we have
of the past is unsatisfactory, the land.
marks of the city. as with those Of all i'm
proving cities, have been so constantly
changing. Now, however, the permanent
structures upon the riyer-the stone walls
and the fine and durable bridges-giye
ample means OF marking the height OF
floods; and we cannot doubt that proper
record of them will be kept. 1t would be
of decidedly practical utility.
