THE FLooD. The river is now several
inches higher at this point than during
the great food of 1862, with prospect
of getting still higher, as the upper rivers
are all rising. There was ifty-four feet
in the channel at Cincinnati yesterday,
and the river was rising at the rate Of
one inch per hour From Pittsburg to
New Orleans the whole country is over
flowed, the angry current destroying in
its course levees,- fences, houses, stock
and farming utensils. Nearly all the
planters along the water courses tribu-
tary to the Mississippi are ruined by
this rising of the waters, many of them
having their homes swept away and be-
ing forced to build RATS, to save their
families from drowning. A person can
take a skif at the present. time and
travel across Arkansas to the st. Fran.
els river, and will find nothing to obstruct
his course until he strikes Crowleys
Ridge The suffering resulting from this
overflow is incalculable, and will be re-
membered for years. Many planters
will get no crops in this year, and will
consider themselves lucky if they can
obtain bread to keep their families from
starving. The packets running between
this point and Vicksburg have laid up,
as the landings are all submerged. The
Dan. Able found but one dry landing the
last trip she made.
