The Frisket.

--The recent storm has proved very destructive in the interior of Virginia.--The Staunton Spectator says that such a flood, in every part of Augusta county, was never seen before. The passenger train of the Central Railroad left Staunton for Richmond on Wednesday morning, as usual, but returned in the afternoon, having got no further than Charlottesville. The track lower down was so much injured by the flood that the trains could not pass, and consequently we had no mails from Richmond from Tuesday till Saturday night. Portions of the Parkersburg Turnpike, it is said, were literally washed away, so as to be impassable by vehicles.
