From the Nashville Union and Dlspateh-l
Within the memory of the oldest in
habitant, such a tremendous, sweeping
freshet has not 0een, as is now devasta-
ting part of the country south of here,
especially along the line of the Nashville
and Chattanooga railroad The destruc-
ton Of bridges and property is very great,
and should the floods continue to
rise, still more serious consequen-
ces are anticipated. The Running
water trestle work, near Whitesides, OF
which we spoBs yesterday morning, has
been almost entirely swept away, rem
dering it extremely improbable if the
structure can be replsced before the end
of at least two weeks. Such torrent of
water as rushed down the mountains and
passed this immense trestle, until at last
it was carried away by the resistless tor
rent, has not been seen in that part Of
the country, we are informed, for many
year. Three other bridges between Ste
venson and Chattanooga, neither Of them
very large, however, were demolished
by the floods. The bridge Immediately
this side of Chattanooga, and also two
others, have bseD in such danger that it
was found necessary to place trains
heavily laden with irUn on top, to pre-
NEub lnCiL bCAliS oWCpN away 4uG very
latest accounts reported the floods still
rising, but no further damage on the
road was reported. 1t is hardly neces-
sary TO say that Col Innes is leaving
nothing undone to have the bridges re-
paired. Men aud material are being
sent forward rapidly, and if the road
is not very soon in its normal eondi-
ton it will not be for lack Of all neces-
ssry efforts looking to that end. For
the present, and until further notice, we
understand that no further freight will
be received at the Chattanooga depot.
The bridge across the Tennessee river
at Bridgeport was all right up to last
night. The water, as we learned, had
reached to within three feet OF the top,
and some fears were expressed that
much further rise might re-
suit most disastrously. The bridge
across the Tennessee at Chattanooga,
which cost the government toward the
close of the war, nearly half million of
dollars to construct, was swept away on
Wednesday.
The Cumberland, here at Nashville, is
still rising at the rate of about two inches
an hour, and is now fully as high as it
was in the spring of 1865. Already
its encTOachments, both in North
and South Nashville, have resulted
in great deal of damage and incopye-
nience. Scores of families have been
compelled to pick up all their household
traps, and flee for safety TO elevated re-
treats. AS it has not rained apy here
for twenty-four hours, it is probable-to
be hoped at least-that the rise has
neatly attained its full hight.
In referring to the Nashville and De-
eatur railroad yesterday morning, we
gave the report, based on informa-
ton furnished US, that three bridges
had been washed away on that
line. We learn the statement was erro-
neous. There has been neither bridge
nor eulvert displaced on the road, and
trains are running with their accustomed
regularity.
On the Louisville road trains come in
and depart with as much punetuality as
if we had not had q drop of rain for a
month.

We are informed by a letter from 8
resident of North Alabama, says Mis-
| sissippi exchange, that far away from
the railroad and river, in those counties
| lying contiguous to Sand mountain, that
the inhabitants are absolutely starving
and without aid can be extended by rome
means, the whole range Of the Sand
mountain counties must be depopulsted.
Hard fate for those poor people. If our
politicians woTd think less of sectional
strife and look &c the interests of
the people, then there might be some far
Off hope Of escaping the whirlpool of an
archY and destruction.
