cannot stand the odium attached to being "Lincoln's mail agents," as some of the appointees are known to the writer to be gentlemen.--Their only fault is that they have asked and received favor from a source that no Southern man should. On yesterday evening the flag of the Confederate States was hoisted in front of the locomotive attached to the mail train on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, which carried the news of the surrender of Fort Sumter. Col. R. L. Owen, the President of that road, and E. H. Gill, the General Superintendent, are strong friends and staunch advocates of Southern rights, and so far as I am informed their road has been the first to raise the Southern flag. The first one thrown to the breeze in this city was from an upper window in the Republican office; the next, by the student at the Lynchburg College on the cupalo of that building. One was also raised on Thursday last, by Messrs. Boyd & Co., in front of their store, near the Tennessee Depot. O. K.

The storm in Southwestern Virginia --Virginia and Tennessee Railroad.--A telegram from E. H. Gill, Superintendent of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, says that the damage to that road by the storm will not exceed in cost $12,000, and that the trains will resume their regular trips early next week.--The Superintendent has made an inspection of the road, and his statement is made from actual observation. There are now 300 hands employed repairing the gaps in the road. The Wytheville Times says: The flood produced by the immense quantity of rain which fell in this section on Sunday night, Monday and Monday night last, was of the most destructive character — nothing like it has been witnessed since the memorable flood of 1810. On the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, some ten bridges, we learn, were swept away, whilst a great quantity of the embankments-were totally destroyed. Along Reed Creek the damage can hardly be estimated. Messrs. G. C. Kent, (3,000 bushels,) Rand

s capacity to seat thirty passengers, and is remarkable for its strength, while the ornamentation is of such a character as to give it the appearance of lightness. The ground work on the exterior is salmon color; on one of the side panels is a beautiful painting of Pocahontas saving the life of Captain Smith, and on the other a representation of Smith's famous com bat with Bonney Mulgrove. The door panel is ornamented with a picture of a Knight Templar in full costume, as a compliment to E. H. Gill, Esq., former Superintendent of this railroad. Besides the historical illustrations, the sides of the vehicle are decorated with arabesque drapery, Cupids and wreaths of roses. Inside are eighteen beautiful vignettes, representing landscapes and water scenes. The roof is constructed in what is called the "French style," enabling a tall man to stand erect without peril to his beaver.--The omnibus was made by John Stephenson, of New York, to the order and under the direction of the compan
