PASPLN's, Va, September 10, 1883.
1t has been raining for ten days, and
there is no indication OF a "let-up" AZ
yet. The farmers are very low-spirited
about their tobacco crop, which in a
great many cases is ready for the knife.
The fodder crop is total loss.

Mr.. Kelley.
A Wasbington speeial to the Sew YOrk

A Washington special to the New York
Hcrald Of yesterday says:
1.-The resignation of Rev. DIR. Curry,
our Minister to Spain, is a great surprise
10 many OF his friends heye in Washing
ton. The news has been at the State
Department for several weeks, but owing
probably to the desire of the President
not to invite unnecessary application for
the place nothing has been said about 1t
at the State Department until to-day.
The President has now the Russian and
Spanish missions TO fill.
"Mr. Kelley will probably bepromoted
TO the Spanish mission. He is now at
Cairo, Egypt, q member OF the Interna-
tional Tribunal. The diplomatic OBJ
jectious TO his appointment to a Euro
pean court are understood TO have been
long since waived.
We do not know what foundation there
is for this report. However, if true, it
would be some reparation for the indignity
to which Mr.. KELLEY was subjected when
appointed United States Plenipotentiary
to Austria.

SoUIH Bosroy, September II, 1883.
The greatest freshet since 1877 has
swept this county and caused enormous
loss. The Dan river at this point has
been steadily rising all day until now, at
6 L. NJ, 1t IS within three feet Of the
bridge. Ii Is thought, however, that
the bridge Is in no danger, as reports
come from Danyille saying the water is
falling there. The Evans planning
were forced to stop work to-day Mt II
o'clock, and the water is now around
the machinery, aud considerable loss to
the mills Will be- the result. especially
IN lumber. some OK which will be lost.
The Banister and Stanton rivers are
probably higher than the Dan.
Comparatively speaking There Is no
communication with the South OF
Dan country, and 1t is not known to
what extent the loss there las reached,
but it must lee great The prospect
ahead is anything but bright. The
drought ruined a large portion Of the
highland corn, and now the lreshet has
destroyed that on all the fairgrounds.
The loss cauuot be definitely stated, but
many thousands OF barrels of corn have
been lost by our people. The rain and
wind during the storm caused great dam
age to the tobacco crops as well.

Grapes, Corn, and Tobacco Injured i'm
AIbcmnric.


fCorrespondenco OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Sept. IL. 1883.
The very heavy and continuous rains
that we have been having in this section
for the past ten days are almost unpre-
cedented and the rain is pouring to-day
as if the spell had only begun. The
farmers in this and adjoining counties
are very much discouraged, as the rains
are very injurious to their crops and
farms. The grape crop, one Of the sta
ples of Albemarle. which is much better
this year than for four years past, IS be-
ing seriously injured. A very small por-
ton of the crop had been gathered be-
fore this wet spell set in, and now 1t IS
impossible to gather them and it is feared
that before the weather clears up much
of the crop will be damaged by rot.
The corn and tobacco crops are also suf-
fering serious damage. Corn IN many
places on the uplands is lying fiat and 1t
will be very difficult to gather the crop.
The tobacco is also being washed very
badly and the leaf is covered with sand
and otherwise destroyed.
The roads all over the county ere in n
bad condition, and in some places they
are almost impossible, as the water
courses are swollen very much.
The Riyanna river Is out OF its banks
in some places this morning, and the
heavy rains Of yesterday and last night
will make it still worse and very de-
structiye 10 the different crops along its
course.
The Charlottesville Woollen-Mills,
situated on this river about a mile east
OF this city, was compelled to shut down
last night on account of the treshet.
The river at this place is rising very
rapidly, but it is thought that no serious
damage will be done TO the mills or
stock, as everything from the lower
floors has been removed.

70 the Eaitor Of the Dispatch:

10 the Edit0r Of the Dispatch:
In your Sundays issue you take for
granted that the underground wire as
described 10y Senator Harris would be a
failure from the simple fact that 1t might
become submerged with water, damp at
mosphere, dc.
Now. / will give a quotation from
what Senator HaIris said 4" But in re-
spect to propellng street-cars the con
duit must be an open slot at the top
through which the power Is applied,
&c, and then refers TO the water rising,
&c.
must say Senator Harris is not in
formed as TO what is going on in the
Patent Office. One Of our citizens,
Major Black, has had caveat granted
recently for patent that will overcome
all Of Mr.. Harriss objections that can
be constructed at cost Of 30 per cent
less than the Senator estimate.
The entire arrangement is simple, and
possibly with few improvements will he
universally adopted. Mr.. Harris fur
Their on says that in the conduit system
there is a loss of power of from 10 to 10
per cent. | ask Is not this overbalanced
by the loss of electricity grounded by
the overhead wire2
would Ike the Washington Post to
copy this. ID. s.
We are glad to learn that Mr.. HARRIS
was mistaken, but, as he is in Washing
ton and is thoroughly familiar with the
subject, we must do him the justice to
say that it may be that he is not mis-
taken. We are sure that he would be
pleased, as certainly We should be, to
welcome any new invention promising
TO improve the service on electric lines.
We should be particularly pleased if a
Richmond man should give to all the
world better electric road than any now
in use.

Warrington Notes.


WASHINGTON, September lids
quoting rumors are current with regard
80 the health Of Senator Beck, who has
been AT Fortress Monroe since the middle
OF last week. Inquiry among bis friends
develops the fact that IN compliance with
the advice of his physicians he has de-
cided not to return to his duties il the
Senate until the next session. 1t IS re-
ported that he Is threatened with an af-
lection of the heart. for which quiet
and retirement are deemed essential.
The Senator is member of the tariff
subcommittee OF the Finance Committee
Of the Senate, and being the leader of
his party in financial and polItico-
economic matters in the Senate was ex-
pected to prepare the minority report on
the tariff bill. Heis universally esteemed,
and wishes for his speedy restoration to
health and activity are as heartily ex-
pressed by his political opponents as by
his party friends.

FAHMvmLE, September II, 1883.
The rains which have been almost
continuous here for more than week
have flooded the Appomattox, until to-
day the waters have nearly reached the
highest elevation known. To nightthey
are subsiding The destruction of corn
and tobacco on this and other streams
cannot be easily computed. Many large
farmers lose their entire crops.
