general idea of the terrible loss of life and
obstruction of property by the flood
A dispatch from Richmond says that the

along the banks OF the James will materially

Chcsapeake and Ohio Railroad is damaged to
The amount of 500, 900, eight or ten bridges
having been destroyed, and about mile of track
washed away. The number of lives lost in AL
hemarc county, was fourteen. Fifty mills and
dams were destroyed.
Owing to the destruction Of mills and inter
ruption of railroad transportation much suffer
ing among the poor of the deluged district IS

road between White Sulphur Springs aud
Millboro is open but between MilIboro' and
Kesvick, distance OF eighy-fQe miles, the

YELLOW FEvER.-Ncw York is thoroughly

Governor Island, end the Board of Health is
making every effort to confne it to that local.
ity, although there is pretty good evidence
that the disease exists in the city proper.
Whether this be so or not, the fact is not de-
MED that the strange disease at Governor S
Island, which at first was pronounced to be
bilious fever is nothing less than yellow
jack" himself in his most OH cctionable form.
The first frost, which is said to check the pro
gross OF the disease, is, therefore. awaited with
Impotence. The disease it is believed WIS
conveyed to Governors Island by vessel from

and fifty souls on the Island, ffty.fve cases,
