Suspended.
MEMPHIS, April 1.-THE heavy rains Of
the past few days have not only been de-
structive to planting interests, but together
with the floods in the various rivers have
damaged the different railroads eentering
here. On the Memphis and Charleston
Railway, trains run only to Middleton and
portions of the GAINESVILLE division of the
Memphis and Louisville Railroad, are in
undated already, and the waters of the
Cumberland and Tennessee are still rising.
Travel is temporarily suspended on that
road, while the Memphis and Little Rock
road is in danger, should the rise in the
Mississippi continue for a few days.
