DEsTRucTIvE FREsHET IN THE SA-
vANNAH RIVERA passenger in the
cars from Aiken last evening, brings the
[ melancholy intelligence of most disas-
trous treshet in the Savannah river. by
| which the town of Hamburg has been all
most entirely submerged, attended by the
destruction of the upper bridge and also
OF that connecting Hamburg with Angus
ia, with an immense amount of property.
and 1t is feared many lives. The cars
from this place had not been able TO reach
wllhia several miles of Hamburg, and
the upper portion of the rail road has, it
is to be feared, sustained serious injury.

I GREAT FREsHET.
The rains which have fallen in the ear
ly part of this week up to Wednesday
morning, have produced the greatest rise
in the Savannah which has occurred
since the celebrated Yazoo freshet 10 90,
and those of our citizens who saw that,
say the body of water is mucn greater
than at that time. The damage produced
on p antatons, both above and below this
city, will be immense, and the destruction
OF property incalculabIe. The growing
crops have no doubt been entirely de,
s,roTed.
The damage done in this city cannot be
ascertalned for some days; the amount o.
property destroyed is already known to be
very considerable. A considerable Dor
ton of the upper bridge has been carried
away, and il is supposed that all the up
per wharves have been entirely destroyed
Our city is now an island, and the waite
on the back commons is from two to 81,
hundred yards wide, cutting off all com
munication with the adjacent country il
every direction. To give our readers d
distance some idea of the extent of tn
, treshet, a six-oared boat can pass withou
:, : difficulty through Broad street from Ben
noch's old corner up to the extreme en-
/ OF the city, and how far beyond we know
!. not; and from the Globe Hotel up Broa
y ST. Is almost a cnntinnnns lake of water
