Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-05-15

River fell 3 inches in psst "A hours
below city high water marx, 5 fee' a
inches; below high water mark Of 1867,
s feet q ipches.
The weather is cloudy and cool, not al
all ssasOnsbie, end viii do the crops
much Injury. The decline in the river
goes or space, aud it will, we think, fall
several feet before 2 charge occurs. Our
exchanges give no report OF any swell Il
magnitude ss coming from any direc-
ton, and we mag safely predict that we
have felt the worst this season. Oar dis
patches Of yesterday, from below, report
much alarm IN New Orleans, where the
river IS now as high as it was in 1862,
and crevSsses sre imminent. One hiss
occurred ia West Baton Rouge, nearly
opposite Port Hudson, which will drown
out thst fertile parish and ovefd ~ the
Crosse Tete, PisCq1emine, Old River and
LsfOurche districts, smO1g the best in
the State. The bresk at the point al
luded to will do nearly rs much damage
as one at Grand Lsvee, only about
twenty miles above, which is the water
gate Of eleven parishes. The break
caused a decline OF two inches in the
river at Baton Rouge in a few hours
While we, therefore, st sll points above
V~icksburg, have cause for c~Ongratula
ton, those living lower down on the
river are in danger.
