Lynchburg, Va.,Oct. 31.
-- The storm of the two days has greatly damaged the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad. Twelve bridges were swept away, and numerous land slides occurred.
The road bed is washed up and destroyed for miles.
The full extent of the damage is not known, but the lose cannot be less than $150,000. Some weeks must elapse before it can be repaired sufficiently for the passage of trains, and passengers are now returning to take other routes.
Preparations are making to run a stage line along the railroad route. This text is part of:
