DESTRUCTIVE FREsHET!

The Charleston Patriot contains an account
OF destructive ireshet on Savannah River, ny
which the town of Hamburg Inns been almost
entirely snbmurged, attended by the destruction
of the upper bridge, and also Of connecting Ham
burg with Augusta, with an immense amount Of
property and it is feared many lives. The fol.

positories, the goods from The stores at Ham.
burg floating up against the rail road; the cotton
floating down through our fields; the inhabitants
OF Hamburg fleeing for, their lives in canoes,
batteauX and RATS, many OF the families have
taken shelter in Mr. Hubbard s house, which was
entirely surrounded by water, and from what l.
could learn the water over his lower floor
several feet deep, while most OF the females and
children had been moved 10 places OF security.
boat was plying to bring out such persons AS
had remained, and to bring off some of their
goods number had repaired to the second
story of their houses. Since 10 o'clock this
morn The rise has been nearly 3 feet perpendic'
ular. From Augusta learn the water is run
ming through Broad Street. The Savannah riv-
er was never known to be as high as at present
and is still rising.
While l am writing, 10 O'Clock r. M. hear
persons calling for assistance, and it is impossi.
bile to render them any. At this moment Mr.
Schultz come in and reports the lower bridge is
swept away. The road has received much
damage between Aiken and Hamburg. Since
the passenger train passed down this morning
the bridges of the road over Horse Creek, have
been very much damaged, SO as TO render q
change of engines necessary at that place this
afternoon. The road from the Hamburg de
pository to the hill must be greatly damaged
as much Of the embank ment is swept away, and
the whole of the road undei water. The goods
in the store atthe company's depothave been put
into large car, as also the books and papers
ofthe company.
