Letter from Lynchburg.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
LYNCHBURG, Va, July Il.-Whie attend
Jog to my duties for the past few days have
in the meantime gathered up several items
which | think are worthy of notice in the Ga
zctte. The following Alcxandrians are here
and 10 business: John and Emery Howell are
engaged in the hat and shoe business and have
two stores on Main street; H. Clay Emmerson
4 Bro. are doing good business in newspapers
and books-they have just moved into their
new and elegant store on Main street; Captain
John HUMPHREYS is boss at the w. c., V. NJ.
Il G. 5. Il. K. shops in this city; Alexander
Stewart is the agent at this place for the above
named road. COL Daniel Morgan, paymaster
of the road, reached here last evening, having
started from Alexandria in the morning He
is welcome visitor all along the line as he car
rieS the cabbage leaves to pay off the hands.
Jubal Farley, the exConfederate General,
is practIcing law in this city He is looking as
we'll as enc of his years can.
The Washington House, kept by Scoville Il
Co., is the Alexandria headquarters 10 this
place, and therefore you know it Is trst-cIass.
President John S. Barbour and his cxcur-
sloni>tS are expected here hourly.
The Lynchburg and DAnvlc railroad Is be-
ing pushed ahead with great vigor. The tun-
mel which has been cut through the lower por-
ton of the city is completed, and about fifteen
miles of track have been laid already: PreSl,
dent Barbour certainly deserves credit FOR the
energy he has displayed in the interest OF his
road aud the travelling pubic.
Heavy treghts are carried both up and down
by the boats running on the James river and
kanawha canal.
The streets here are in wrctched cond-
ton.
The foundation for the new market building
has been laid and the brick masons are now at
work on the walls. 1t will certainly add very
much to the appearance Of Bridge street when
that unsghtly old building, used for market
house, has been torn down
Tobacco is the prlnclpa article dealt in here,
and the factories are numerous and give EN-
ployment to a great number of hands, both
white and black-ln all, about 900. There
are five large warehouses here also, where leaf
tobacco is KEEP: on storage and sold at public
auction.

to work at once to invent a flying machine, for
am confident the sale of them in this city
alone would give me good pay for my trouble.

STORM, FLOOD, &C., IN THE VALLEY This
part Of the Valley of Virginia was visited, on
Thursday afternoon last, with a tremendous
storm ofrain, wind and hail, doing much dam
age where it ragged most furiousy. In Harri
sonburg we suffered comparatively little. \
few miles east and southeast OF our corporate
limits, however, the storm ragged with great
fury. Amongst the sufferers by the food and
hail we may mention WIN. Reherd, Moffctt
Newman aud Others These gentlemen had
their fences, hay, &C., swept away, and their
growing corn injured by the hail which 10 some
places was as large as bulled wa!uuts. Mr..
Newman's loss was probably as much as $500
or $.l00 10 fencing swept away, and meadow
and hay damaged. f. G.. Way, on the creek
just below Harrisonburg, also suffered consider
able loss in hay, flooded meadow, &c. Col
Geo. Il. Deneales farm also suffered great
deal OF damage from the food. At Taylor 5
Springs, known now as "Massanetta," the
flood was very great. The rush of the waters
over the valley iu which this watering place is
located was terrible. The bath house was car
ricd Oft, fencing destroyed, and other damage
however, has been commenced.
10 the vay in which keczeltowu is situated
I great deal OF damage was done ia tie flooding
OF meadows and destruction of wheat. Many
Of the meadows aud gardens in that valley arc
almost totally ruined The bridge at Rouda-
bush's mill was washed away, its very fouuda-
lions being removed. Cub Run was four feet
higher than ever before known. The hail at
Lacy's Spring is represented to have been as
large as hens eggs, and the destruction of the
growing corn terrible.
Altogether, the storm was one of the screrest
we have had in this part ofthe Valley for many
years. -Rochingham Register.
