Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.1
BERaYvIILB, Oct. ., 1870.
In common with other portions OF ON
beloved state this beautiful and fruitful
valley has been recently visited by d terri.
BILE calamity.
The Shenandoah has been higher in the
past few days than it has ever been known.
to be before. There have been freshets
along its course in other days, but none SO
fearful as that which has recently occurred.
Mills, houses, crops, and railroad bridges
have been swept off. At Berry's ferry two
lives were lost, and higher up the river, In
the county of Warren, a house containing
nye persons was swept away and its inmates
drowned. Splendid fields of corn were en-
tirely Invested of their contents. Men
Woodworking, worthy men-who have been
toilins since the close Of the war to repair
its damages, have again been deprived of
all the fruits Of their labor.
AT Castleman's Ferry several houses were
swept away. MIR. Steele and Mr.. Jones,
both worthy, excellent men, whose earn
lngs We're gained in the sweat of their
brows, lost their houses, books, papers
all! "A short distance above the Ferry the
house of NIr. George Copenhaver, which l
understand was very recently finished, was
away. The anticipations of COM
fort and domestic quietude which. had
cheered him in so many hours of toll were
all cloudcd in this affecting visitation. These
are only a few examples OF the suffering
incident to a calamity so general that 1t may
be considered public.
Organized efforts are being made for the
relief of the sufferers. c. n. L.

THE RAILRoADs.-We learn from good
authority that without some unforeseen
accident the Orange railroad will be in run
ming order to the James river by the last of
next week. There will, however, be re-
uuired Il transfer at 6ioor's creek, on the
Chesapeake and Ohio road, aud it will pro-
badly be two weeks more before the bridge
at that place can be rebuilt. The authori-
ties of the road, we understand, expect TO
have the bridge across the river at this place
rebuilt by the 1st of December.
Gen. Malone, we learn, is rapidly per-
fccting arrangements for rebuilding the
bridges across James river, on the South
side road, which he will have completed by
the 1st of December at the latest. In the
mean time passengers will be transferred in
vehicles to the James river, six miles below
the city.
The Tennessee will probably be in com
plete running order i'll ten or twelve days.

IIAMPpES SIDNEY, VA. Oct. 3, 1870.
The educational institutions situated
here are now fully under way. The Col
lcge Of Eialnpdcn Sidney has more than its
usual number Of students, and the Theo-
logical Seminary has never had so many
since the division Of the Presbyterian
Church in 1887. Indeed, in all respects it
is in a most tlourishing condition. Besides
the increase in the number of students, of
whom forty-three have already matricu-
lated, and the repairs to the buildings and
grounds, large additions are making to the
library, and the funds are in hand to build
Il separate edifice for its accommodation.
An architect is already at work on the
plans.
ihls community is now mourning the
death Of Mrs. Margaret Reid Venable, of
this county, and sister Of the late Samuel
Mcdowell Reid, of Rockbridgc. Mrs. Ven
able died at her residence at the Seminary
on the morning Of the 81 instant.

been no rain in this part Of the county since
