Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.
from Wythe.
No mail from your city has reached here since the 1st inst — the trains on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad being unable to pass through, on account of the numerous slides — the worst of which is at Clark's Summit, some 20 miles from this place.
The "Champion of America,"the renowned John C. Heenan, arrived at this place yesterday evening on the Eastern train; of course he was greeted with rounds of huzzas by the "boys," and followed and tormented by the "curious."The frogs that were showered upon the Egyptians could not have been a worse plague than this. Such fame! Save us, we pray, from the plaudits of "Young America."
Mr. Kent is elected to the Convention — an able representative.
We shall certainly expire if you don't soon send us the Dispatch. If "Uncle Sam" can't afford to put the mail through, we'll get up an opposition stage line, and then what will become of the Virginia and Tennessee Road? Eh? We'll do it, we will. St. Jullan.
