A dispatch from St. Louis dated on
Wednesday says:
F.ightful consequences are likely to
ensue along the lower Mississippi which
is now higher in some places than ever
before known. BY accession of floods
now coming from the upper rivers the
Mississippi is rising from st. Paul
down. The Missouri and Illinois are
both high and rising; and all their
tributaries are at flood height. The
high water is occasioned by heavy
rains, extending throughout the west
ern and northwestern country, not the
usual spring mountain rise. Should
that fellow before the present flood
subsidies, the whole lower country will
doubtless be inundated.
