GREAT FREsHET.--We learn from the Charleston
papers of last Monday morning. that Sunday there
was an unprecedented rise in the Broad and Conga-
rec rivers: Six hundred feet of trestle work on
the Greenville and Columbia Railroad had been
washed away; also the Broad river Bridge The
Saluda Bridge was in great danger The Congaree
Bridge still standing, but expected TO go that
night or Monday. We understand that passengers
in the boat report the stoppage of mails and passen-
gers on account of the carrying away of bridges in
