RUINED BY FLOODS.
South Carolina Planters Seeing the
 Crops Destroyed.

Distressing reports of luin wrought by the great freshet continue to come in from all parts of the State. Incalculable damage has been done to the cotton and corn crops Tie corn has become sour and soaked, and the cotton bolls are dropping off the stalks. The losses to the planters along the Savannah, Congaree, Wateree, Catawba, and other rivers will be very great, and on many of the largest plantations the destruction of crops has been total. The rich lands below Augusta, on both sides of the Savannah River are overhowed to an unprece- dented depeh, and all the cotton and unhar- vested corn on them must be destroyed.
 The rice planters, lower down, now have the certainty of the total destruction of their crops staring them in the face. The rice harvest has just begun, and thus far only about ? per cent.o the crop has been secured. The flood will reach the neighborhood of Savannah about Saturday, and will necessarily destroy the last vestige of the rice crop. The outlook is gloomy and especially discouraging, ,inasmuch as; until afortnight ago, the crop prospects were all far mer could desire. Trustworthy estimates place the losses as high as 50 per cent. The railroads have also suffered severely by the destruction of bridges and trestling and by washouts, and the consequent suspension of traffic
