GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS.
oy,s spondsuce of The Star

GEORGETOWN, May :, 1857.
The most intense anxiety seems to pervade the
minds of citizens in regard to the condition of
the upper portions Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal. Nearly every business man you meet with
on the street either has multitude Of inquiries to
make, or some recent report to communicate, in
relation to It, All classes seem to be keenly alive
to the importance Of the canal to our prosperity,
and the almost incalculable amount of injury
which anything like prolonged suspense on Of
navigation upon it at this season of the year would
infiict Since our letter of Tuesday, quite a null
.itude of reports have reached our city from Dam
No. 5, which furnish some grounds to hope that
the damage is much less than was at first sup
posed.
Since writing the above, the following items
have come to hand: One gentleman. writing from
Williamsport yesterday morning, says the water
Is still very high, and rising and that it is i'm
possible to ascertain the amount of damage done
10 Dam No. until the water subsidies. Another
dispatch of the same date, received in our city
yesterday from a very reliable source, states 1.-THE
author having examined the dam carefully i'm per-
SOM that the cribs are not carried away that
nothing Is gone except the coping, or top logs,
son, writing from ShepherdstOwn, says of Dam
No A. that about sixty feet of the old portion of it
are gone, and that ne fears the whole of Dam No.
| has been destroyed. so We go. We shall wait
patiently, however, until after the water subsidies,
| In the hope that the amount of damage done is
| far less than has been anticipated.
Most If not all the cargoes Of the barque WIN.
| Chase and schr. +. Taft, sugar and molasses i'm
ported by the Messrs. Dodge, is being bonded in
| warehouse.
There is still a strong current setting down by
