The Seaboard Air Lino trestle ov er t ho Watoreo river was on last I uosday, morning about 1 1 o'clock swept away by the freshet-. The trestle was a temporary wooden one that was to bo uMcd until tho river bridge oould bo erected. This acoi dent will greatly delay the comple tion of the road, but wo understand that work will lie commenced iinmo diutely to rebuild it, rtn<l at the same lime work on the uranito piers for tho steel bridge will also be pushed as rapidly as possible. Great ?apprehension was felt that when it cave away that it would car ry with it the iron passenger bridge a few hundred yards below. The on ly thing, it is said, that saved tin* iron bridge was that tho wooden bridge gave away before the, river pot. any higher, it being only 2;?.J feet, which allowed room enough tor most of the timbers to pass under the iron bridge.
