 from the Floods.

Opelika, Jan. 2.-(SpeciaD--The damage to the new steel bridges in Lee County mate of Judge F. M. Renfro who is the best authority in the county on the mat ter. This amount does not include the numerous small bridges erected by indi- Viduals for their own convenience. All the bridges on Halawalka Creek below Floyd's mill are gone, as are the hand some new bridges at Meadows mill and Beans.

It seemed that the authorities made no effort to get the mail here although two routes from Montgomery and Atlanta to Opelika were open. The people were greatly. inconve- nienced thereby. It it learned that a great deal of the delay in repairing the wrecks and washoutA were caused by a lack of material, the rigid economy of the management having reduced every thing to the lowest limit. Only seven cross ties were to be had on this section and four men at 65 cents per day was the force to keep up several miles or road.
