THE FLOOD ON THE MIssIssrPPI.-On Friday
evening OF last week the river at New Orleans
had reached a point five inches higher than
the great food Of last year, and was still
rising.
At various places where the Leyee was low
or weak, the water was encroaching, and the
people could only keep il from rushing over in
torrents by constantly battling against its pro-
gress. The levees had to be continually watch
ed, and the weak places strengthened BY sand
bags, timber and rubbish; and even then, the
water percolating through the cosy, porous soil
kept the low places within the evee wet and
miry. Along the entire front Of the city, and
higher than the level on which the city il situa
ted, the angry food lacked but few inches Of
being at the top of the levee, which rail bar
rcade was the only obstacle to the overflow Of
the waves into the streets Of the city. In many
places the waves made BY a passing steamboat
would wash over the levee, ana trickle down to
the ground within, which was five feet lower
than the level of the stream. The Crescent, Of
the Both ult., says that iise Of one foot more
would submerge three -fourths OF the whole city,
and cause incalculable disaster. There is every
probability that the late rise in the Ohio, and
the present one now coming out of the Mssou-
ri, will both reach New Orleans before the sub
sdence OF the waters at that point, in which
event the apprehensions Of the Crescent will be
realized.
AT vicksburg, last Friday, the river was sta
tionary at point two feet higher than in 1853,
and sixteen inches higher than ever known be-
fore. At Memphis, on Friday evening, /, was
rising again slowly from the swell in the Ohio
