A heavy fresh in the Rappahannock river.
The Fredericksburg Herald, of the 5th inst., says that the heavy fall of rain, accompanied with a terrible gale of wind, on Friday night, and which continued up to a late hour Saturday morning, produced a very destructive fresh in the Rappahannock river.
The following is a list of some of the casualties which occurred:
The gale of wind on Saturday blew the water up stream, submerging the wharves, and as the wind subsided, the rise speedily proved that the fall of rain above was fully equal to that in our own vicinity.
On Sunday morning the Rappahannock was covered with logs, rails, and driftwood of all descriptions, and by noon it was within three feet of the great fresh in the river on the 10th of April last; that having been the greatest within the memory of "the oldest inhabitant," and two inches higher than the flood of 1814.
One span of Chatham bridge gave way, about 10 o'clock, owing to the heavy body of driftwood
