Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatchthe Storm on the Virginia and Tennessee Rail road. Lynchburg, Va., From all that I can learn in relation to the damages on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad by the recent rain storms and freshet, nothing has been elicited which would justify a version contrary to the one already reported, though railroad officers and employees generally now represent the damages not so great as at first reported, while passengers and other disinterested parties make it even worse.

Advices from Valparaiso are to the 2d, and Callao the 12th. The ultimatum of the American government had been rejected by Peru so far as the ships Lizzie Thompson, and Georgiana, and the Sariori claims are concerned. The refusal will compel the American Minister to demand his passports. A frightful accident occurred on the 10th ult., at the dry dock at San Lorenzo, involving the entire loss of the Peruvian frigate Callao, which was being docked. All the crew were on board, when some of the stauncheons gave way, and the frigate pitched over and was crushed. She fell on a great number of people below, all of whom perished.
