THE FREsHET.
The protractcd wet spell of May had swollen our wa
Ter to extraordinary degree: The frestet in
river had risen during the last weekand then sub.
sded-but for the last IS hours the waters again up
and arc said to have risen higher than they have been
for more than 20 years We fear they have done much
mischief 10 the low grounds the rivcr-and have
swept off much nf the wheat crop which the Fly had
spared Some boats have probably been slowed. Two
dead bodics casks of goods, &c, &c float
ing down the river yesterday morning. The water had
risen several feet in the cellars Of of the Stores
Market Bridge-bu rapidly subsding yesterday.
The Charleston Patriot of the 4lh speaks of the rise
in the Black Rver-and says that The injury the
Rice crop expected to he most extensive from the rise
Of the Tide the Sanlee, Wate!ee and Pedee rivers
He noticed on his way down break on plantation
Of 100 feet. On Black river there number Of
breaks The tide by accurate measurement rose Is
inches in hour has been rising since Friday last from
to inches every night, and has been higher than it
was during the great gale of lS2! All the plantations
in that vicinity are under water"
