Correspondence Of the New York Herald
BELLEvrLE, ILLINOIS, June %, 1874

Great Western Flood. M
The distress in the American Bottom at this
time, is certainly almost incalculable. The water
in the channel of the Mississippi river opposite the
city of ST. Louis, is thrty-nine and half feet
above low water mark OF course this immense
body of water is no longer contained within the
river banks Bursting over its usual limits, the
flood has spread itself from bluff to bluff over the
American Bottom. This Bottom, you are doubt
less aware is the most fertile piece Of soil in the
Union. From this fact it has been extensively inn
proved-almost wholly covered with beautiful and
valuable farms. The flood has not only destroyed
the growing crops on these farms, but il has also
swept away almost the whole OF their improve
ments. The tenants have fled for relief to Saint
Louis and the bluffs. They have not been deceived
in their expectations of relief from the city of st.
Louis The hand Of charity has been very literally
extended both by the authorities OF the city and
by individuals. Preeminent among the latter stands
Andrew Christy Although he is, himself, loser
to large amount, yet his efforts, from this fact to
rescue the property Of his fellow sufferers from de-
struction have not been the less interchangeable; He
opened the doors of his dwellings and bid all well
come Several boats at his command, up to this
time, have been constantly engaged in relieving
the sufferers Our own little village has done well
in the way of contributions.
The flood Is now at a stand. BY tomorrow per-
haps it will begin to recede. The freshet is now
several feet higher than that OF 49, In fact II is
the highest ever known on the Mississippi. We
gather from Indian tradition that at different times
there have been tremendous floods here, yet none
Of them equal the present. The water will require
a month and half to recede from the immense
tract of land over which it is now spread. II will
be long ere the refugees can return to their old and
long cherished homesteads; and when they do re-
turn, what desolation will they behold The labor
and toll Of years swept away by the maddened and
furious element. The effect Of this flood will GER
tainly be acutely felt in every branch OF trade
throughout the Mississippi valley, during the pre-
sent season. ST. Louis, undoubtedly, will be ex-
ceedingly dull The western river commerce,
which you know is usually very extensive, will be
cramped to the last degree.
Yours, &c. ]. G. IL.

the worthy magistrate, and the charge being fully

for their better conduct in future. The Justices of

to enforce the laws against all disturbers Of the

Mysterious Disappearance Probable Murder.
DEAR SIR -
Our ordinarily quiet and peaceful city, is at the
present moment rife with rumors Of a murder most
foul, and our citizens are in momentary expecta-
ton Of the development OF bloody tragedy.
On the evening Of the Sd Of July, between eight
and nine o'clock. Mr.. David w. Cornwall, the pro-
prietor OF a rope-walk at Winthrop's Neck, left
this place in scow or small flat bottomed boat to
go to Gales Ferry, six miles up the river, where
his wife vlstng with the intention of returning
the next morning. Early the following day (the
miles above New London, half two thirds full Of
water, one oar remaining in her, the other, to-
gether with the mast and sail being floating in the
river in the vicinity Of the boat:
new clothing, neither Of which was found in or
about the beat; it was also known that he had
upon his person five or six hundred dollars In cash,
to pay which at Gales Ferry was one Of the OBJ
boat being found on this side of the river (he wind
on the night Of the Sd having been fresh from the
north west, blowing directly of sLore), and the
bundles of clothes missing, and also the fact OF
the boats painter being on shore, and the end Of
above high WQter mark, contradict the supposlton
that Mr.. G. accidentally fell overheard, or that
the boat was run down by a steamboat or other
vessel. Had the boat been run down, she must
have shown some marks OF the contact, or if 1t
were possible that the swell created by passing
steamboat. capsized her without actual collision,
still she could not by any possibility have drlfted
to this side of the river. Hrsa
Upon review of all the circumstances, there
seems, alas! too much reason to aPprehend that
Mr.. G. was brutully murdered. Among the thou
sand rumors in circulation, is one that journey
man. recently dismissed from Cornwals employ
ment in consequence of some difficulty between
them, has been since the evening of the Sd, suspi
