Lynchburg, Va., Aug. 20
   The amount of freight passing over our is enormous; so large, in fact, that it has been found impracticable to forward all that reaches this city from the South and West by railroad {by the Virginia & Tennessee RR} to Richmond and other points of destination. A large portion is being daily shipped by the James River and Kanawha Canal.
