Late Freshet
   Our Southern exchanges, a large bundle of which has just reached us, give indications of much damage to the railroads, &c., by the late heavy rains.
   The Muscogee and the Montgomery & West Point Railroads have suffered terribly. On the latter road three bridges are gone and the road was submerged for several miles.
   The town of West Point was submerged up to the car floors. A great number of cows and swine were drowned. The telegraph operator went to his office in a boat.
   The bridge over the Chattahoochee is safe.
