| The Charlotte Bulletin of the 11th says: |
| "The embankment two miles east of
Brevard's Station, six miles beyond the Catawba river, was washed away
yesterday, and so much injury done to the Lincolnton, C. & R. Road
{Wilmington, Charlotte & Rutherford RR},
that the morning train bound for Cherryville was forced to turn
return. |
| Sugar Creek, near Charlotte, west of the
town, was booming yesterday. Gentlemen residing in the neighborhood
were forced to abandon their vehicles and horses and foot it over the
Lincoln railroad bridge. The flood gates and fences are all washed
away." |
