R. and the Freshets in the Walcrec River. Mr. Kpitok : The unusual number of freshets and long continued lii^h \vaf!./, (ini-inrr (Tin Inst six IV4 I 14 Hiv liivi| p - - . . .. weeks, have given rise to an impression that the cu.banumcnt in the swamp : hy l*10 Wilmington and Columbia i?.?il~ 1 road Company lias ha 1 some agency in the matter. I have been repeatedly asked what I thought about it, and have always given my opinion in the neg- ' itive. A little more reflection lias s it- 1 isGed me that it is not possible for any 1 obstructions which tin li'i/ioail n t'rrri <1 ' to run const not in tin scamp, ami ' which n il/ not destroy fla ir own works, can have any visible effect on the water in the swamp within ten or more mil's 1 of the river bridge near Camden. In- 1 deed, I doubt vcty much if such < foot ' would bo visible above Garner's Terry, ; opposite Statebnrg. A few facts in my 1 possession, I thins, will satisfy any tlis- 1 iutero?ted person. High water at the Camden Railroad ' Bridgo is 105 foot, and nt the Caindeti 1 Bridge about 158 fia t above tido ; or I' (lie fall of high water from the Camden ! ' Bridge to the Railroad Bridge is about!' fifty-three (3d) feet. High water at i1 the Railroad is twenty (I'M) feit above)' l->w water, who teas it is idiout thirty 1 throe (33) feet at the Cunden Bridge. L-w water at the former is, therefore, J1 tfiirtj-cifilit (dH) lect no low ine inter. 'I'iie general direction oftI?e riv-r and swamp between the two points is practical!)' straight, and tho distance about f thirty (3U) miles. At Camden, the 1 swamp is something over two (2) miles ' wide, and still narrower above. Within ' five (5) mil s below tho Bridge, it is ? fuily five (5) miles, and at darner's ^ Ferry, abor.t twenty (20) .miles below, \ if my recollection serves me light, about L two (2) miles. Below that point, it J widen* again, and at tho Camden Kail- ' road it i* three and three-quarters (ill) miles, mid one and three-quart*ra (1J) mil.-s bid iw tins Railroad is reduced to one and thr< c-quarters (1}) miles. The Wilmington Kail road crosses the river between (Jarnoi's Ferry and the Cam- . den Railroad, prob ?bly ubjut half way. t I do not know the width of the swamp li at this point, nor the length of the ein- ^ bankment in the swamp. ? have heard 1 the former estimated at four miles, and , the latter at one and a half miles. If these arc correct, (and they are pt"?ba- \ lily extreme ) the op<-niui, left for the '' riv-r is greater than at Garner's Fo ry. ^ and more than half as wide again as it ( is below. Before the constructi< n of tlio Wilmington ami Columbia Rtii- * ro id, high water took from two to three 1 days from the Camden RriJgc to the ' Guuiden Raihoal. The average li.'I of 11i<. 11 water ho- t tween the points named is about one t foot and (lire - (putters per mile, but it ' i.- well known that wa'er pas-ing through ' a narrow channel into a wider one fallmuch more rapidly at first than alter it < reaches the wide space ; an 1 as the tut- ! oral obstructions in the swamp retard 1 the process of the water, it is easy to J see that the fall of hi^rh water I'lotu j Camden to (jat iter's Ferry is more than ? the average between the extreme points, . and lor the same reasons, high water ] lias fallen at the Wilmington and Columbia Railroad nun* than llie average between (hirner's Ferry and I lie Camden Railroad The average fiill given above, would ttiike high water at the W. C. R. R. about eight feet! J above that :it the Camden Railroad. | I do not bdievc it is lit If as much. I , | d'Oiht if it is ovei two J et. Four feet ! at the W; k (J. R. R. would make it : about 1'J Icet below the the Camden ' bridge. Filler all the cirouiii.staiiecs. , it is difficult t > believe thai a f?.t or ; two of diirereuec in the height of high j water at the W. \ C. R. 11. will pro 1 dure any < fleet within ? !? miles ol Camden. That e'fih'raeliiti; the livr . way will have lite effect of backing the water up a distance, is not t< be doubted, but a> I aui not in f osses>ioii ol the fiets ol ilia case, an 1 am not interested below the poin' I have named above, r is unneeesstry to j uiMi'* i};? subject any further.
