Great Freshet.

The heavy rains Of the past few days haze
brought the Savannah River oyerits banks in
many places. The water oam. down Bout
street yearly TO Onmpbcll submerging solnc
Of the cellars in that portion of the t'.wn /;
and down Gre, ne street as far Us Kull"ch.
The southern art of the city, we notice, IL
all ailoat, and We learn that in Consequence
of the rrcshet, no train left on the Augusta
and Savannah Road this morning, nor, indeed,
on anv ofthe knads. Fears were entertained
that the bridges across the Savannah would
be carried away, butas the Hood began to sub.
side before day light. and is now sensib:y fall.
ing, all fears of their safety and of q. further
rise may be dismissed for this time.
The Hamhurgers have also suff red by Il Q
deluge, good ceal Of tie town being under
water.
We are sorry to learn that a number If
families who have been isolated by the freshet.
have experienced much suffering from being
destitute Of food nd fuel, aud of course at
the time unableto obtain any. Their con.
dilion calls for the immediate assistance IF
the humane and generous among Us.
Since writing the above we are iuf ,rmed
that ole aDutment Of the railroad bridge on
the Carolina side of the river hse Leen washed
away. aud two culvertsun the South Carolina
r ad have been swept off.
UP to the hour of our going to press the
train on the Georgia Road due here early this
morning, had not arrived-uor the e Plea
