An Incident of the Late Freshet.
E Among the many 'hair-breadth 'scapes,'
H from the dangers of the late disastrous
K flood, we have heard of none more tbrill
ing than the following, which occurred
on the Saluda, near Anderson's and
H Neely's bridge:
w On the Abbeville side of the river, on
I ? a slight eminence, was erected a small
two story house for the accommodation of
the toll keeper. In times of very high
freshets, this point was sometimes cut oflf
from the main land by a sluice running
round it, but it was so elevated that no
. danger was ever apprehended from its entiro
inundation. At the time we refer to it
war, occupied, with feelings of perfect security,
by a Mr. Busby, an honest and up
rignt mnn, ins wiie, lonr children and two
negro men, who had taken shelter from
the storm. A
It was soon ascertained, however, that
r no ordinary flood was coming down the ,
j river, and iu endeavoring to make their ce- i
caj>e tlie sluice was found to bo so deep
J and rapid that they were unable to cross
it. Alarmed, but still entcrtaing a hope
that the watei would not reach the house,
they repaired to it for shelter and protection.
But on dashed tho wild nnd turbulent
element, overleaping with fearful rapidity
the highest point that it was ever before
known to attain, and yet no indications of
abatement. At length tho eminence was
r.-achcd, then tho unwelcome intruder
took possession of tho first story, compelling
the lamily to repair to the second: then
the second story was submerged, and
about 0 o'clock at night, in tho midst of
dismal darkness, with the wild waters raging
around then), nnd all hope of succor
I gono, its powerless inmates were almost
frantic with terror and dismay on feeling
the house gently move with tho current.
I In tho meantime, however, one of the
negroes had succeeded in bursting through
the roof, and in taking a position upon )ts
top, and to this fortunate circumstnncc
the ultimate safpLV of the femilv is flnuUt
less Attributable. He had scarcely gained
tho roof before the house commenced
moving off towards the main current of
tlio stream. Hut seizing the branch of n
tree, he gnvo it the opposite direction, and
it was left to its fate.
As the morning dawned, some faint
hope of succor l**gan to glimmer in the
breasts of the terror-stricken family. The
cries of [the negroes, who had found a
place of comparative safety among the
brauchcs of a tree, attracted the attention
of a number of persons on tho Laurens
side of the river, whose curiosity early led
them out to soc tho ravages of tho flood.
Fortunately, among the number was Mr.
Jnincs McKinney, an active and industrious
mechanic, who immediately commenced
tho construction of a boat, and in nn ,
incredibly short time launched it for its
perilous adventure. For some time no
one dared to brave the resistless element;
but the claims of Uumnuitv soou impelled
a Mr. Taylor, formerly of fourth Carolina,
oud a negro of Mr. Seely to attempt the 1
rescue, and, amid breathless suspense, and
ot tho imminent risk of their own lives,
they struck boldly across the raging curIruut
<Wr tho terrified negro, and landed
bim iu safety upon the shore.
Ascertaining from him tho position of
the house, they next rowed for it, which
they found some five hundred yards below
the |x>iut that it originally occupied and
lodg> d against a clump of trees.
The daring boatmen soon landed its
_ XX* * I ? _ ? _ ? ? 1 .V %
nungiiica crew 111 saieiy, Hinia ing nenny
chocri of the anxious sptvtators upon the
shore.
Tho whole time l>ctween the first stroke
in the construction of the boat aiul tho
rescue, occupied but ?n hour and forty-five
inintitCH?an adventure as remarkable for
celerity and dispatch, as it was for success,
and certainly entitling its participators to
no little share of public admiration, as well
ns the lasting gratitude of the rescued
family.?Laurenarille Herald.
Extknsivk Hank Robrkrt.?The
Mount Vernon Bank, of Foster, Rhode
Island, was entered between Saturday
evening and Monday morning, and $10,300
in notes of tit? bank were stolen.?About
$7000 were of the denomination of $50,
and were numbered mostly from 400 to
500. $2000 of them had never been put
in circulation. The remainder of the
notes were mostly of the denomination
of $10, $20, $50 and $100.

Cotton.?The Coton Market at present
presents very littlo of interest io the trade,
and our remarks mnst necessarily hi brief.
The article has been very much neglected A
since the dato of our last publication, and l>i
prices have, in. consequence, manifested a 0(
drooping and declining tendency, but the
least demand?so sensntive is the market, ^
owing to the limited amount on sale?would
immediately strengthen the position of sell- 1,1
ore. We therefore think it advisable to re- 5C
new our former prices, and w ould refer to i"
these quotations, under existing circumstan- in
ces, as a fair exponent of the value of this er
staple. The ri ceipts of the Week foot tip V
471 bales, and the sales in the same time
arc estimated at about 950 bales, at the lollowing
prices, viz:?11 bales at 8}; 69 at 9 ; ?,
