TIE FREsuEr-We are extremely sorry
that another freshet, though scarcely deserving
the name, when compared with that of August
last, should now interpose any obstruction to
the transit of passengers and freight over the
Charleston Railroad, as it tends to check Sc:
riousy the spirit of industry which is bounding
forward, and promises an unparalleled spring
business to our great metropolis. This disas-
ter came upon US almost unawares; for the
fact of the Cougaree having passed its banks
was scarcely known or dreamed of, SO untre-
quent are these occurrences, and so much are
we in the habit of taking as matter of course
the prompt arrival and departure of our rail-
road trains. On Friday the swell of water
40 until last year regarded the highest of this
century-aud, had the rain not ceased so op.
portunely, beyond reasonable doubt we should
have been involved in the predicament of last
summer This sudden warning should serve
as an admonition TO the railroad authorities to
urge forward the permanent structure over the
Congaree; and such wisdom Of engineering
should be expended upon it as will insure lis
stability, even should it be called upon to ell
dure the severe tests of the past.
Until the waters subside the full damage
cannot be ascertained but we can readily be-
lieve that short time only will be necessary
to place the road in its former working cohdl-
ton, and thus renew uninterrupted communl-
cation, which can now only be effected through
the agency of fats in the transportation Of
passengers and mails. aud involving considera
BILE delay at that.
No damage has been sustained by the Green
