Our farmers on Flint river have suffered
tremendous loss, and in some cases their
loss is sad to contemplate, for not only
have they given their entire crops to the
angry flood but have lost all their oattle.
A river farmer told your correspondent
yesterday that he has already lost at a very
reasonable estimate six thousand bushels of
corn and fitty bales of ootton. The trestle
at Beaver creek, aud also the embankment
between it and the river is reported as being
in a very critical condition; liable to go
down at any moment, unless the waters re
cede very soon. Six oars loaded with dirt
were rolled on the river bridge last night to
hold the bridge intact. However, there is
not so mnob apprehension felt about the
bridge ns there is the embankment between
the bridge and the Beaver creek trestle.

Eatonton, August 2’—Owing to the rueli
c.f business with the wiles last night, I was
unable to get an eccount of the flood to
you. It is oeitaioly the greatest damage
the county ever sustained. There are bat
two mills left on Little river as far as can be
heard from. The damage is abont os fol

with machinery and everything, the loss
heavy. Mrs. Wm. Marshall's mill, together
with the bridge at that point. 1,’his was
the best and most substantial bridge in the
county, and cost the conuty only a
few years ego four thousand dollars. W.
B. Griffin's mill was alio swept away; he
estimates bis loss at $2,500. Gol. U. O.

on the Oconee, bnt it is great. ..The train

on aoconnt of its very unsafe condition.
It will pass over to-morrow. The water

Rome, August 1.—Although the rains
have been continuous for several days there
has not been such a heavy tall in inches
There has beeu more drizzling, fine rain,
than au outpouring from the clonds. The
livers are swollen, but nothing disastrous
is feared.
Iu addition to the sobriquet “Hill City”
Rime deserves to ha called the "Bridge
Citv," for no city in Georgia can claim as
irsiy bills and bridges. Within a mile of
the confluence there are four magnificent
bridges across the Etowah, and three across
the OostanauU. river. Three are county
bridges, three belong to railroads and one
to a corporation. Two of the county
bridges have been replaoed by glgantie iron
structures that will last several generations.
0! the railroad bridges two are iron and
one wooden. The iron bridge over the
Britcy shoals on tba O istananla is own
ed by tholtome and Deoatnr railroad. The
other two over the Etowah river are the
ptope rty of the East Tennessee, Virginia
sod Georgia railroad. The Rome Land
Company have in construction a $20,000
iron draw bridge over the Oostananla that
will lead directly to their valuable proper
ty. The five iron bridges are the consum
mation of skill and experience in the art of
bridge building.
A Bale of property near this oity last week
will be likely to prove the beginning of f
deer ot unending prosperity for this sec.

river is fonr miles wide. The splendid

thousands, was swept away. Many people
were standing on it three minnes before.

There is great loss to crops and property
along the river. The Central railroad is
