GREAT RISE IN THE YAzoo RivER.-From the
Lexington Advertiser of Friday last we extract tht
following, remarking, in connection Herewith, that
according to information in The yicksburg Southron
the Yazoo continues to rise up to Thursday
By letter to Mr.. John ST. West, from Thoma
Griffin, overseer on his plantation at the head o
Honey Island, we learn that the Yazoo River com
menced rising rapidly on last Monday, and on Tues
day it had reached within four feet Of the highes
water mark of 1885, and rising at the rate of tel
to twelve inches in twenty -four hours. No hopes
resisting the water entertained and it is expected
that the entire valley will be inundated. This suddel
rise, we learn is attributed to the breaking Of tn
Tunica Ievee above through which the water is noV
rushing, covering the swamp, lakes and creeks, ant
!. overIowing SuHfower and YazoO Rivers.
We have heard nothing up to the present writing
Thursday. If the fears entertained realized, tn
loss will be incalculabe.
