From the Memphis Appeal
The caving in of all the bluffs of the
eastern side Of the Mississippi, from Cairo
TO New Orleans, has led 20 curious con-
clusions. 1t is said that the motion of the

general law Of nature must dave begotten

eastern shore of the river. Fort Pillow

vestige of the oarthworks erected BY Gen.
| Pillow, and Others, at Randolph. The
| river has cut cavernous depths for it,
/ strong currents beneath the everlasting
| hills, and these have slowly crum blcd
and fallen, grain OF sand at a time, into
the abysses of the mighty deep. Now
and then hillsides have disappeared in Il
single night, and curiou,ly enough, this
work of desolation goes on mainly upon
the eastern side of the river. Here AT
Memphis, as at Vicksburg, Columbus,
Fort Pillow and Randolph, the resistless,
| fGthomless river, whose course
none may anticipate and none
can resist, pursues its appointed tasks with
"a force and pertinancy which has lessened
property values between Wolf river and
Fort Pickering many millions of dollars.
Great as is the damage already done by
by the mighty river, the calamity begot-

tell when u detection of the willful cur
