The recent rise in the water courses
of Georgia and Alabama was remarka-

river at Montgomery rose some 95 feet
or more. Many accidents are reported
as having occurred. A fine horse and
his rider, a boy belonging to Col. Hayne
of Montgomery, were swept away from
the wharves in that city, and were
both drowned. Several valuable teams
from the country were lost in floods
which have inundated the roads. The
damage on some of the plantations has
been extensive. In the meantime boats
OF the largest class are running with full
