Dry Greek Items.

JUNK l0tn.
have not seen anything pertaining to Dry
Creek in your valuable paper for some time,
and as all seem to be waiting on me or some
body else, send you few notes OF the great
rain storms we are having. Last night at
O'Clock it began to rain and hal! from the
south at 10 o'clock the wind shifted to the
northwest. The rain came down in torrents,
and great was the fall Of water from that time
till o'clock this morning. Dry creek was full
to overlooking, also the tributaries TO il, a
thing that has not been known for years. The
destruction to property amounts to quite m
item just now, right in the busy part Of the
season when harvest is in full blast. Upper
branch rose to such a height that the water
stood in il. II. Crandall's blacksmith and ma
chine shop to the depth of 3 l-2 feet. Bellows
and most al! the tools of the shop were under
spring seat. and a very heavy grind stone, lum-
Der, spokes and fellys, all were washed down
the creek. The bridge at the shop Is all gone,
the front of the shop is all blown down, and
some of it gone down the creek. Not post
left, roof and all. A. j. Watson's wheat i
badly blown down. His hogs had to rise with
the tide, and swim out through hole in the
roof. All were saved. j. A. whitworth's
stable and sheep sheds are all under water.
Aaron Criss' cellar and well full Of water. Mr.
Claypole had ten acres Of corn demolished
His stable, drill. pillow and wagon bOX were all
carried of the farm by the flood. Mr.. Norton
had twenty acres OF wheat destroyed by the
water running over it. Spencer Bros. were
asleep when they woke up and heard the water
running in the basement door. They got up
and went below and tried to get things out.
but the water came in so fast that they had to
give it up. In three minutes from the time
they went down stairs the water was IL feet
deep. The yard was just sheet Of water; j.
ran through the wheat field and washed a num-
Der OF shocks of wheat away. They had 200
chickens drowned. A.

Last week we mentioned that Spring crrek
Overfl0wed its banks and was doing damage 70
property in and about Bavaria. From Mr.. T.
Bacon we learn that the damage WAS greater
than at first reported. The first place where
We hear Of damage being done was on the
farm of Mr.. L. 5. Woolcott. few miles south
of Brookville. He had thirty-five acres OF
wheat which all who saw it say would have
yielsed b bushels per acre. The flood swept
across the field. washing the grain out
by the roots. Mr.. Martin was the
next man down the creek TO suffer. He lost
100 sheep. granary belonging to Mr.. In
graham. containing 30 bushels Of old wheat,
was carried ten rods from its foundation and
all the grain was lost. He also had stone
corral torn down. Mr.. J. T. Paul lost three
calves and two fine horses A Mr.. Henri ak
lost;a horsejand set OF harness. Mr.. Melbourn,
who has been keeping Mr.. Millard's Jersey
cattle and fine horses, lost thorough bred
bull At Bavaria Mr.. Hohneck's stables and
farm implements were carried away. Mr.. II.
II. Nash lost about thirty-1ivc acres OF wheat.
Mr.. Swearenger found bay horse Which came
down in the flood and which has not yet been
claimed. The stone wall under Mr.. Gels
and the cellar filled with water. Messrs. Nel
son s. Brodine had q lot Of wagons and farm
machinery piled up about their hardware store,
and the pieces were carried In all directions
out on the prairie. Many farmers lost warrior
farm articles. chickens. etc. Mr.. Henry Lie.

RoCKBRDGE, October Il, 1878.
TO the Editors Of the Dispatch:
A partisan communication over the sigma

between Patteson and Tucker at Licking

in which the writer draws largely npon his
1t is not true that Patteson
euai'ed before Tucker. No man ever bore
himself with greater gallantry, and the day
will never come when Patteson will quail
before Tucker and a host OF such followers
as LEX" Patteson got greatly the better
OF the argument, as all fairminded men adj
mitted, and it was Tucker who quailed.
Tucker completely failed in bis reply, and
the proof Of the fact that he baked is
shown by his failing to meet Patteson at
Fairfield, Brownsburg, and Kerl's Creek,
although invited. Camm Patteson made a
brilliant effort, replete with unanswerable
and we are not afraid at any mo-
ment to pit our gifted champion against the

sort to the antics OF the harlequin" and
whose only claim to renown rests upon the
fact that he succeeded in establishing a daily
line OF stages from Goshen to Lexington,

Bev. Douglas on the New Greenbacker
Party
In a letter to a committee OF Texas

In letter to committee of Texas gentle
men Hon. B. B. DOUGLAS writes as follows:
There is but one course left to the De-
mocracy in the pending congressional con-
test. Revive discipline; restore effective
organization BY every possible appeal to the
intelligence and patriotism Of those who,
under the deiusive idea that new party
without prestige, without leadership (unlcss
Ben. Butler and Kearney are its leaders,,
and without experience, can cope with the
cohorts OF .Radicalism more successfully
than the Democratic organization. and
therefore propose to abandon it. All such
may rest assured that what the Democrats
fail to do in the way of reforming abuses
no mere tertium guild OF sporadic origin, ill.,
congruous elements and certainty OF speedy
dissolution, can or will effect. II, by acct
dent and the decentralization Of the times.
the new party wins few districts, 1t Will
appear in Congress rs q poWerlesS, dlscor-
dant minority, like the so-caled lndepen-
dents in the Forty-fourth Congress. and
must soon be absorbed by one or the other
of the older and stronger parties with which
it will come in contact. How can Green
hackers act in concert with those who ln-
sist upon retiring greenbacks with gold
purchased by an increase OF the interest
bearing, debit How Will those who de-
mand more currency pull in harness with
those who in q little more than twelve
years have reduced the per capita OF
circulating money from about forty to less
than thirteen dollars, and are bent on fur
Their contraction? And lastly, how can
those who demand .fat money and wish to
ignore metallic money altogether find q
common footing with those who want no
paper, who demonetized silver, and are Ia
boring still to bring everything to an eNclu-
sive q0n standard? TAese are some OF the
anomalies which the new party. by what
ever name to be known, must encounter and
reconcile or quickly dissolve into its con-
stituent elements, with no record OF its cX-
istence but that written in hope deferred
and substantial benefits lost by reposins

Adversely OF war and a nonstrous social

aid in the great work such as promoting
the objects OF the company wherever an act
OF liberality may facilitate the undertaking.
A citizen OF Goochland, residing near MI
chau's Ferry. called at the office OF the
company in this city few days since, and
offered TO furnish without charge the cross
ties and telcgraph-poes that might be need
ed by the road through his farm. This IS a
small matter; but it's sample OF the feel
ing OF the citizens Of the Valley, and all
men experienced in railroading know
how important it is in building railroad
to have the kind feeling Of the people along
its line. An i!liberal and narroW-mlndeo

ficulty and immense expenditure upon a

consistent with safety. we nevertheless hope
that the corporators will give it that dellb-
crate consideration which cannot fail to fix
the enterprise in their minds as one OF the
very best for its bright promises that can be
conceived at this day in the United States.
IT is a part of the most eligible OF route
for the immense commerce between the
Mississippi and the Atlantic waters. Rightly
considered this would be the settled and
Interchangeable conclusion, and what is thus
determined upon will be determined with
will that must engender impulse and Yigor

thing TO say about the greenbacS lnnacy-

the candidates for Congress in our State,
who are anxious to have issued an unlim-
tied amount of greenbackS. You mention

while you overlook two in our district

with the rag-baby, and wish issued stacks
OF paper-money, so that the whole people

Of all the jubilant promises OF the Green

partial interest in seven congressman out OF
forty-two congressman which were elected
from three States they have nota man they
can call their own elected from single dis

they control no legislature. The result OF
all this is that honest people now breathe
