It subsided in the Jllsnatrnuasteanlta of the Freshet About Belbleuem, Fat. Bethlehem, Jan. 18.

The destruction caused by the freshet in the Lehigh river is very great. Many canal boats anil coal achutes at Mauch Chunk have been destroyed by the ice, which has gorged below the dam. The Howe truss bridge, opposite the Mansion House, has received a severe stock, and may yet be washed away by the rapidly rising crater. The track of the railroad which sank yesterday has been repaired, and trains are now running as usual. Logs, and what apiears to be the wrecks of houses, pass down the rapidly running river.

Two men, who were engaged in hauling logs, are reported drowned at Catasauqua. The furnaces of the Catasau qua Iron Company are somewhat damaged. The river has never been so high, and it till rise.

It is reported that the superintendent of one of the mines ia missing. No particulars can be ascertained. The ice is gorged at Easton, and much destruction is xpec'ad, as houses and manufactories on the river bank are much exposed.

The mountain brooklets have grown to rivers, and are destroying all obstructing perishable obstae'ea that lie in the path. The lowlands above the basin have five feet of water upon tbem, and as the Lehigh river and Monocacy creek are very turbulent, it ia apprehended the Lehigh Valley Railroad will be undermined and washed away.

The early trains were somewnai ueiayeu. A. serious cavingwu happened about 8 'clock the same morning on the East Penn sylvania Railroad, near Dubb's Mill, about a mile from the AUentown depot, whereby two repairsmen sustained serious injuries.

Four repairsmen were sent to" the place, and, while working upon the track, bout twenty feet of the road bed suddenly caved in, carrying along two of the men who were wedged fast between Jarge rocks and hard cakes of cinder, in a hole from eigbt to ten feet deep.

Rocks and earth continued to fall upon them, and although prompt assistance was rendered, it was some lime. and only after great difficulty, that thev were released from their unpleasant situations.

The former having secured a charter, and all the legislation necessary to construct a road at this point, were only waning for the breaking up of winter to commence operations. But the work was considerably hastened bv a whisner on Sunday that the men employed on the Columbia Port Dep. sit road had received orders to commence work on this line early on Monday morning.

This was done to get possession of the road. officers of the H. S. Company, in order to frustrate the design, set to work on Sunday afternoon and secured a force of 43 men to commence operations. The news spread rapidly and occasioned no little excitement on the streets.

Tha Steamboat Hotel being headquarters of me kuk, pirnemeu a uveiy appearance, reminding us of the days of '61, when the long reveille announced to the soldiers the hour for action. At eleven o'clock the gang, with picks, shovels, axes, commenced crossing the river.

The Hanover company have already laid tracks and are vigorously prosecuting the work. How the matter will terminate we are unable to tell, but we are satisfied, as are all who are acquainted with the facta, that the H. J. 8.

Company have the advantage in every re spect. We do not, however, object to the building of two roads, if such a thing is rma. 8ible. If not, we are decidedly in favor of theH. 8.

Road, inasmuch as Marietta's prosperity depends upon it." The Coal Trade. The Miturif Journal says: "lhe quantity sent by rail from this region for lhe last week was 10,497 tons, against 29,571 tons for the corresponding week last year. "The supply from all the regions from which we have received reports, foot up 210, 610 tons, against 234,575 tons for the corresponding week last year, making the decrease for the week 23,955 tons. "The whole supply this year foots no 750. 511 tons, against 927.260 to corresDonding period last year, showing a loss of 176,769 tons as compared with last year.

"The transition state of the Coal Trade in this region seems to effect the whole trade, and keeps dealers from making their arrangements for the year 1873. "it appears to us that the sooner the tolls are promulgated for 1873 the better it will be for the trade, particularly since the basis has been adopted for the year. They can be is sued to take effect at a given time, and then inose who intend entering in the trade can make their arrangements accordingly. until me peoi businass is settled and the rales of tolls are known, there will be stately any arrangements made for the year's busi ness.
