TROTTI AND HAY.

Barnwell District has recently lost two of her most
cherished sons in the Hon. J. w. TRoTTi and G. c.
HAY, Esq We observe very handsome tributes TO
their worth and usefulness from MEssas A. P. AL.
DRlcH and w. A. OWENS of the same bar. TRoTTI
and HAY were both nobemen Of nature, and filled a
large place in the affections Of their acquaintance
ship.
w. A. OWENS Esq, thus speak of them in his con.
cluding remarks:
striking coincidence appears in the lives Of these
two friends: They were near The same age; boys
together; friends at college; graduated about the
time they the bar together; never had
moments difference in their lives; ways entertained
the same uIilicnl views; both became profrssora Of
religion nj the snme time, and died in two days Of
each other. Nohing marred their friendship during
Lille, and the tomb did not divide them.
~ ONE virtue, at least, has been discovered in
the hooped petcUat: mad dogs cannot bite the wear.

EFFECTS OF THE RAw.-Congaree river, in
twenty-four hours, rose twenty.four feet, height
unprecedented since the freshet of 1852. Last
evening it was falling, while Broad and Saluda
were still very full.
The upper railroads have suffered, but to what
extent we are unable to say.
We regret to learn that break has occurred
on The Charlotte Railroad, on the south fork Of
Fishing Creek, above Chesterville, from the
flooding rains in that quarter. The Company
has large force concentrated there, and in three
days the damage will be repaired. In that time
passengers may expect arrangements to prevent
detention.
We have been requested by Tie Agent of the
GreenvilIe and Columbia Railroad TO say that
the passenger train will not leave Columbia un-
til Friday morning.
There have been several breaks on lhe lire of
road between Hope Station and Silver Street,
but il is confidently expected that they will be
thoroughly repaired to-day, and that the trains
freight and passenger) will be enabled 10 pass
to and fro without interruption Tomorrow.
