Petersburg, Va. (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 3
Destruction of salt. --About four hundred sacks of Virginia salt, belonging to the State of Georgia, or parties in that State, stored by the Southside Railroad Company in the warehouses on the lower wharf at Petersburg, Va., were destroyed by the flood on Tuesday night. Each sack contained about two bushels or one hundred pounds of salt, and the loss will reach between $10,000 and $15,000. A large quantity of salt which was stored in these buildings was saved by raising it above the water mark, and piling it upon wood carried there for the purpose. The first one or two tiers were almost entirely dissolved in the muddy water, and the empty sacks only remained to tell the tale of the loss.
