I»SfeTiICCT!VB FRESHET.
Our city aui vicinity was Vv'ed
nerday by the most destructive and highest
j rise in the river that has occurred since the
I memorabie freshet cf August, 1853,—and in
fact but a little difference w'-.s perceptible in
the bight of water then, and this time, only
| a few inches -between the two freshets.
| On Tuesday night the river began to rise
i very rapidly and sudden} y, and by daylight of
j Wednesday morning had overflowed its
| Northern bank to such an extent as to innn
i date the whole of the tr,wn of Hamburg, S. C.;
] aid a large portion of the Southern and
i Southwestern section? ot this e ; ty. Ail day
! 'VedHereby the water continued rise and
' up to midnight, of that day, it did not show
; ~i y signs of falliog; about two o'clock on
| Thursday morning it became evident that the
; water was receding.
' From the time the river began to fall, the
j wateryeccded at tho rate of about six inches
to the hour, ar.d at oor present writing all
danger a* to any further damage is dissipated
and the minds of our citizens at eas ;.
It is impossible to ascertain the full amount
of damage caused by this flood, as the en tire
town of Hamburg was submerge and ; as was
also a gioat portion of this city: In Uamburg,
tlie water reachod a depth of ten feet on a
level; and nearly every fence was swept away.
In many instances, entire outhouses were car
ried off by the current, which ran, at the rate
of six miies au hour. Trees wer s uprooted,
furniture iu the lower stories of he uses broken
and destroyed, a number of cattle browned, and
a large quantity of poultry lost. 'J bo store of
Mr Hamm was forced open and -trie side entirely
severed from ihe building. An outhouse be
longing to C. AVilliatns, F.sq v was swept off,
as were also bia fences attached to the dwell
ing. The fences and povtions of ihe oatbuild-
I. attached to Airs. Levy’s fcotfft, were also
destroyed. The fencing and gateways t*f .Mrs.
\Y. B. Cates’ dwelling, floated off, aud in fact
scarcely a family iu that town escaped un
harmed.
The liiils back of Hamburg presented*a pic
turesque sight on Wcdnrsday sind Thursday
nights, as a number of parties rendered house
less for the time being, were compelled to
camp out, a id make the bent of the tims pos
sible.
The Railroad track for live hundred feet on
the South Carolina side was washed a way, and
several days must elapse before the damage
can be rtpaired.
The passengers by the train on Wed act lay
nigh!, Wire compelled to retrain ail night
lime miles from Hamburg, and take boate for
Angusfa on Thursday morning.
The bridges across the river were at ouo
time ia imminent danger of being r.wept
away, but tb| woather boarding ,on the Rail
road bridge was knocked avray,.which iu all
probability saved botli structures. A lurge
force of workmen under the charge of an ex
perienced engineer were at -work night, and
day, keeping off logs and other obstructions,
and fortunately, both bridges weathered out
the flood—and w'th the exception ot the cen
tre pier of the Railroad bridge being slewed
out of place a little, and one of the hei ivy sup
pot ts of the foot bridge giving way, boi ;h struc
tures wv sound and in good condition.
The water, when at its height, was u p to tho
track on the bridge, and the greater; depth
reached was thirty-five feet.
In Augusta, tjio water overflowed tin; whole
of Broad street, from the Lower Mark® tto the
extreme upper end, and nearly eveT r store
nod dwelling suffered wore or Jess by baying
t'.ieir cellars overflowed. Not much -damage
was done to the property in the cell ars, as
their contents in most cases had been, reunoved
before the water reached the sidewalks. Sev
eral lots of salt were damaged bof->ro it -could
bo removed. The steam lumber works of AY.
11. Uoodreh suffered some loss, tb * back ft noe
w is washed away, and some fom - Lhousand feet
ol line lumber carried off.
A one story laick building on the corner of
(Areen and Gumming streets, b elonging to a
M r McKuight was entirely demolished by the
force of the water, as also w.s a number of
small frame tenements and outhouses in th
neighborhood oi the AVaynrsboro Depot, aud
ho southwestern section of the city.
Tho streets all ovor the erty, present a di
lapi'hited condition, the bridge and foot, cross
ings in most instances being eilher dareagied or
entirely wiu-hed away. In some places, lioles
have been washed in the k I roots tn the death of
five (o eiglft feet, and if is astonishing fiat no
aceidfcnts of any neteoccurred, as many citi
zens made peril."is voyages r,cross them.
The river banks aro covered with huge piles
of drift-wood, which is br,ing gathered by all
who have boats or other means of securing
this much needed and Very high staple of do
me-tic use.
Dining tbe afternoon of Wednesday a frame
house drifted down tbe river and fears were
entertained ihr.c when it reached the bridge, it
would carry the structure with It, but fovtu
mfttdy tho’joußc was this weaker of the two and
was demolished by the collision.
Avery narrow escape was made by tljree wo-'
men, who were discovered floating down the
•'outUe.ru section ot tho city in a one story
frama budding. Their cries for help attracted
a number of oilmens who were out in their
batietux .rendering service ig the needy,
who immediately paddled for the building,
and by great exertion succeeded in rescuing
ti e r. r : fortunate inmates of iha floa’ing house.
The Gcs jj'oiks .are damaged to such an ex
tent, that it, is feared wo will have to depend
upon candles and lamps for the house, and the
light ofj the lunar erb, to illuminate our street
transactions and proceedings for some nights to
come.
The Water Works are, ft is thought, seriously
| and imaged, and feats arfe entertained that cur
i citizens may be put to great inconvenience for
S want of that article. A number of pumps
• ■hi.aghout the city have also been rendered
n ,
entirely useless.
The and .veiling of Mr. C. A. Platt, corner of
Campbell and Green streets, was damaged to the
am; untoi $20,060; his fences and out houses,
arc all gone, the garden with its valuable and
' beautiful plants and flowers ia entirely wrecked,
j his kitchen mid servants rooms entirely under
water, and the furniture iu the lower part of
the building, almost destroyed.
A large excavation was made In the side
walk avLjoining the residence of Mr. T. R
Rhodes, corner Monument and Broad Btreef,
some ten feet deep, which could not bo ae
conutod lor. There seem* to have been but a
thin crust of earth on top, which giving way
j found a lodging some ten feet below. It is
strange how it could have happened. This
singular feature was observSble in several
1 other localities, but not to such an extent.
Iwo frame houses on Walker streat near
Campbell were entirely demolished and with
ih-.-ir contents were carried off by the force of
1 the water. They both belonged to very poor
people, whose loss will be severely *eit.
The sidewalks,streets and drains of the city,
which were in a pauisularly bad condition be*
fore the flood are in hundreds of cases now in
fa most lamentable and. deplorable plight, m
j many instances, entire sidewalks being wa.k._
; away, and holes deep enough, to bury a man—
; and if he happens to be on horseback, horse
I and all—are to be seen in every section of the
town.
■ All the neighboihood of the Georgia Rail
road, Waynesboro Railroad and the cemetery,
suffered more or k6s, and it would be almost
impossible to enumerate every individual in
stance of lois or suffering.
'1 he track of ihc Wuynesboro Railroad on
Washington e'mit wae torn up in several pla
ces.
A number of Lenses, mules, cow?, Lug-,
sheep, goats and all kinds of poultry were lost
by parties located iu the most visited places.
'The dwelling of Mr. Brenner, music teacher,
on Broad street above the upper market, was
carried from its foundation, and most of his
furniture, including a valuable piano, desticy
ed.
Tbe subsiding of the waters was a great re
lief to a large portion of this community, as a
number of citizens were entirely cut eff from
their homes and families, and great fears were
entertained that ioss of life might occur, but
with one exception, we have been unable to
loam of any loss in that respect. Tbe bodies
of two men were found on Thursday, drowned
near the Georgia Railroad Depot, but it could
not be definitely ascertained as jto how the ca
lamiti occurred. One of the bodies was rec
ognized as that of a laborer named Scanlan.
The Coroner's inquest held upon the bodies
rendered a verdict of “found drowned.”
It would puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer to
compute the entire loss by this sad disaster.
No doubt two millions of dollars would not.
pu? things as they were before.
FROM gIVANNiH,

longing to aDy portion of the army must, cou
fine their sales to their own commands; any
deal-os belonging to the'army who violate

Some time since some t iuy.ped prisoners
were captured near this city, who told the
same tale lit regard to their escape. We then
called tho attention of our authorities to the

to go on as usuil -have permitted men to re

(fiKMn ——
An cun.—We mid -rstaud that soma of our
people are refusing to take Georgia State
change bills. This certainly is very absurd.
Ihe Georgia State change bails are ihe lust
paper money in circulation in the Confederacy.
There is a pozsiuility of other currency becom
ing worthless, but the Georgia change bills can
never tie —as tho .State has agreed to rcceivo
them as taxes if Hie holders fait to present
them for redemption within the time specified
for their redemption. The ffiost absurd thing
that any man can do iu tho money line, is to
refuse Georgia State change bills. *

\Ye found seventeen guns protected by fa- [
verses, two only of which were dismounted, j
hearing up tbe beach and cove ring a drip of j

wide enough for 1090 m»i in lino ot l; .do, •
having captured Flog Pond hill buttery, !
garrison cf which, Bixiy tive mea and two j
commissioned officers, were taken off by ihe j
navy.
Are alse captured Half-Moon battery re and ,
seven officers and two hundred and eight en
men of tho Third North Carolina Junior it
serves, including its commander, from whom I
learned that a portion of Hoke’s division, con
sisting of Eiikland’s and li-.ygood’s brigades,
had been sent from tho lines lefore Richmond
an Tuesday last, arriving at Wilmington on
Friday night. _
Gemral VV't-itzel advanced his skirmish line j
within fifty yards of the fort, while the garrison '
was kept in their bomb-proofs by the fire of :kr j
navy, and so closely that three or four men of
tho picket line ventured upon the parapet and
through the sally poitof the work, capturing u
horse, which they brought off, killing ihe Or
derly, who was the bearer of a dispatch fro u the
Chief of Artidery of General Whiting, to bring
a light battery within tho tort, and also b»ot>glit
away from the pin a pet the flag of the fort.
Ihift was done whilst the shells of the navy
were falling about tlie heads of the daring men
who entered the work, and it was evident, as
book as the lire of tbe navy ceased because of
the darkness, that tbe fort was fully manned
again, and opened with grape aud canister up
on our picket line.
Finding that nothing but the operations cf j
a regular riege, which did not come within my •
instructions, could reduce the fort, and in view I
of the threatening aspect of the weather, the |
wind rising from the southwest, and making !
it iiupr-ssible to make fuitiisr landing through \
the surf, I caused the troops, with their pi is- j
oners, to 10-embiiik, ar.d seeing nothing fur- j
tber that can be done by the land forces, 1
shall therefore sail tor Hampton Roads as soon
as the transport fleet can be got in order.

receipt of your letter of this date, the substance
of whioh was communicated to mo by General
Weitzsl last night. I have ordered the largest
vessels to proceed off Beaufort and fill up with
ammunition, to be ready for another attack, in
case it is decided to proceed with the matte;
by making other arrangements. AY : have not
commenced tiling rapidly yet, and could keep
any rebels inside from showing their beaus un
til an assaulting eolumu was within twenty
yard* of tbe woiks.
I wish aonio more of your gallant fellows
had followed the officer who took the fisc from
the parapet, and the brave fellow who brought
tlieMorse outot the tort. I think they would
have found an easier eouquest than is suppos
ed. Ido not, however, pretend to place my
opinion in opposition to General Weiizel,
whom I know t-o beau aesompiished soldier
and engineer, whose opinion has groat weight
with mo.
The prisoners new «n hoard the Santiago da

—Tho Mobile Uogtatcr, of Saturday morning,
contains a lengtiiy deuisioe rendered by lion.
Wm. G Jones, Confederate judgo for the Slate
of Alabama, iu case of the savings bank of Mo
bile against Henry Barnwell, Confederate States
tax oollector.
The plaintiff brought this a*Hoa at law to re
cover si/ms of money it had been eorapeikd to
pay as Confederate taxes for 1864 on State
bonds, purchased by it hom the State of Ala
bama, and the questions presented were: Aro
State bonds taxed by tho «wt of Gengress, und
if so, is such taxation censttintional ?
The plaintiff also embraced in his suit a *i aim
for money paid in now issue as the soldiers’ tux,
levied and collected under the act of the 10th
of June, 18G4, and this branch of the case turn
ed on tho question whether tbe plaintiff was
not entitled to pay this tux in four per o. i.t
certificates issued to plaintiff mnder tho taadieg
act of February, 1864, and wliimh merttiisaftu
have been since hold by plaintiff. 'The tax 00l
lector compelled payment ia Confederate notes
of tho now issue, refusing four per ocat wi ti fl
oat es. The case was iu thenatcie *f »a agreed
one by Government and the plaintiff, an ! the
questions arose on separate demurrers to ouch
count of the cerapbiiut.
The ctrso was argued for plaintiff by Robert
H. Smith, Btq , aad P. PMHips. ISsq , and for
Government by A. J R-quisr. fikq , district at
toiney, and the court decided :
Ist. That Congress did not possess the eonati
tutional power to tax state bonds.
2d. That the tax acts of Cangrigs did nst at
tempt to embrace States bonds as a subject of
taxation.
That the soldiers' tax was payable only in
Sonfederats treasury notes cf tho h«w D-ce,
and could not be paid in four per cunt ceriiti
cates, and that the act of Congress in requiring
the tax to be thus paid did not violate the pi
given by Congress, in tbs funding not, that tivj
lour per oent. bonds should be received to, »!i
public dues payable in 1864. That this pledge
only related to the taxes the* provided to bo
levied, and did not extend to zaeh as the neces
sities of tho Govoimeut might require to b* af
terwards raised.
A Great Suamb —We wonder if Secretary
Trenholm is aware that money -even Confeder
ate money—is indispensably requisite fur (he
various branches of the public service ? We
should judge from the coolness and noncha
lance with which ho treats the ered.tori of the
government, that he is either wholly ignorant
of, or insensible to, the obligations of the
Treasury to pay them what is due to tlu ra.
The soldiers cannot afford to live in Units
like these without their pay, which, from ail
accounts, ia sadly in arrears. The q••arcrracs
ter’s department is not as flush of funds its it
should be, and the consequence is that evioy
body and every establishment dependent upou
it is loft to suff'er the most vexatious iuccuvs
uiences. The hospitals are particularly ~ -
grieved by tills neglect of the See:• *.*!} fc ;
,iLg bad for months, some of th, ut no n.-.os
o! procuring the daily neo-sury fup;-i! ;• xi-.-pt
from advances made out of the juivaio tu .ds
of superintendents. This is a most scandalous
state of things and should be forthwith looked
to by tho Secretary, with whom there is no
scarcity of money, bet lather a redundance,
we should think, from the efforts he tells us
almost every week be is making to reduce the
currency. If the non-payment of the ' current
expenses of the government, which are abso
lutely unavoidable, is any part of his plan to
effect this end, we have to say that he is vio
lating a sacred text which forbids us from do
ing evil that good may ceme. We very res
pectfully call his attention to this subject,
which, however unimportant he'may deem it,
is yet of a great deal of importance to the
scores of thousands of people whose wants can
only he relieved by him in the, way wo rec
ommend.— Petersl/urg Express.
