the River and the Railroads.
From Daily Chronicle March 15.
On Sabbath this section of country
was visited with several heavy show
ers Of rain, aud during the night, at
times it fairly poured down Yester-
dcy we had several very heavy shower,
aud in the afternoon quite a hail storm.
The creeks were on the war path agaiu,
and two Of the temporary " foot traps
over First Creek were swept away,
the one at the foot of Main street and
the one Rt the foot of Clinch street.
The foot bridge at the foot of Cumber.
land street was all sound at 6 o'clock
yesterday evening, aud %as considered
in no danger of being swept away.
Mabry street bridge was still passable
at night, and We believe Is safe. Sec
oud Creek was also very high, in fact
nearly as high as it has ever been, but
no damage was done.
The river was rising very rapid 10y
yesterday evening, and 1t was feared
by river men that before morning it
would be out OF banks again. They
say it was rising about as rapid as it
was ever known to rise. No serious
damage is however anticipated, as the
weather seemed to be clearing NJ
last night.
THE RAILROADS
Have again suffered to some extent
The Knoxville and Ohio RR. have
again suffered by slides at the Chest
nut Ridge, and It was expected that a
heavy slide would take place at the
Copper Ridge cut. The train which
arrived yesterday did not remain but
short time and at once returned tC
Careyville.
On the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia RR. several small slides
occurred, which were at once cleaned
out. Also wash occurred near Rice.
vile, which the officials of the road
say will be repaired before this goes to
the press.
The Hiwassee River has risen some
eight or ten feet, end the trestle work
has been slightly moved. At any rate
the officials of the road are not willing
to risk train across it, as the water il
too high to ascertain whether the
bridge is safe. Mr. HoXsie did not
consider that there was any danger o
the work washing away, but they pro
pose to Toe careful about risking trains
and of course the passengers and mai
will have to be transferred at thai
point to-day.
We have not learned OF any Other
damage being done by the rains O
Sabbath aud yesterday, and truly hope
that all has been told in the above,

In a recent number Of the Journal we notice

are pretty evenly divided on the subject Of dispos-

sailors of, and has got to the top of the ladder.
| He left his ship in Norway, and came home via.

new ship in the India trade this fall. Mr. Dennis
states that while his ship was lying IN the open
roadstesd of Calicut in India, his ship was struck
| by huge whale, which came at them full force
stove the ships buwarks and rail, and left por
ton of his skin, bubber &C., on boaid. The con-
| cusson was tremendous, and knocked every man
down. Mr. ID. makes it his home with his

stockho.der and m.na@er in the great Wakefield
Rattan Manufacturing c., of Boston. This gen

Wakefield, Esq, after which he vert to India as
