DEsTRscTIrE FLooD.-The jaime. river, Va,
commenced rising very snddenly on Thursday eye-
ming, and continued rsiag till Saturday, when it
wa. higher than i, has been since '36-.ome say
since II. The .uddenne.s and rapidity Of the rise
and the great yolsme Of water, indicated a very
grsat rain above. The navigation is arrested and
the mails stopped. Nearly the entire wheat crop
on the James River bottoms, from Richmond to
Lynchburg, Is supposed to be swept of or ruined.
We fear like result on all the tributaries of the
James on the South .ide-and those Of Appoma-
tox md Roanoke. The wheat crop ia not the only
one injured The growing crops of corn and TO-
bacco are both oyeraown. 1t is reported that nu-
merous very bad breaches have been made In the
canal above Colunbis-in some places the locks
a, well as the embankment being swept away. II
the destruction upsn the Roanoke bore any pro-
portion to that upon the James and is Southern
tributaries, million of dollar, will be moderate
estimate Of the loss.
