THE LATE OVERFLOW.

Memphis Avalanche, sunday
On both sides of the river from
here to Cairo, distance of $40 miles,
the entire valley country Is now high
and dry, the water being full 10 feet
inside of its banks, and all tillablc
lands are either planted in cotton and
corn, or will be within few days.
The situation up that way is encoura-
ging, and never promised better this
early in he season.
On the river below as far as Friar
Point, 100 miles down, the same may
be said regarding the agricultural part
of the country, except the few places
where levee banks damaged the cotton
fields, and even these in many in
stances are already replanted, or about
to be. This is particularly the case
with DR.. Peters place at the foot of
Council Bend, where he had several
hundred acres Of young cotton under
water few days ago. 1t has all been
replanted, and is in promising situa-
ton.
The st. Francis valley is nearly free
from water, but at Madison, 40 miles
west of this city, where the railroad to
Little Rock crosses, the river on Fri
day had only declined about 3 feet. 1t
will take several days for the water to
run out of the swamps and let the
grounds be dry enough to plant. 1t
will also be several days before the
railroad can be repaired so the cars can
run through to Little Rock.
Down at Beulah, near the mouth of
the Arkansas, on Wednesday last, the
river had only fallen 3 inches, but it is
likely that it has dropped fast enough
since then, and by this time the waters
are doubtless inside of the river banks.
The crevasse near Beulah, in old
river, about 200 miles below here oc.
Cured early in April, and with proper
precautions it might have been closed,
as it has never been much over 100 feet
wide and five or six feet deep.

More Annexation.

The California papers are advocating
the acquisition, by the United States, OF
Lower California from Mexico. The
San Diego Union and San Francisco Bul-
letin are strongly urging the measure,
and saw that it ''should be urged by the
press of California. and such a showing
of facts made (and ii can tie truthfnliy
made) as shall commend the subject to
the early consideration Of Congress.
The Union says it has the knowledge
that Mexico is willing to part with the
Territory for fair price; that the PENN
sula can never be anything but an expen-
sive burden to the supreme Government
of Mexico.
Lower California is separated from the
Mexican territory by the broad waters OF
the Gulf of Cortez, while only an iuvisi-
bic line divides it from the United States.
It iSless than two hours drive from the
county seat of San Diego county to the
boundary. The Government Of this de-
tached territory costs Mexico much more
than the revenues derived from it. And
the system of administrative, tariff regu-
lation and laws of Mexico prevent the
development of the country, making en-
terprise in any direction absolutely impos-
sible
Not only is the peninsular at present
proftless to Mexico, but it is a serious
/ obstacle to the development Of our own
territory. To reach Arizona by water
+ the passage is made up the Gulf of Cali
/ fornia to the mouth of the Colorado, and
! thence for over hundred miles up the
river through Mexican waters; or, up
the Gulf to Guaymas, and thence through
the Mexican State Of Sonora to our Terri
tory. The only land route to Arizona
from San Diego runs along the border
and for some miles passes through the
edge of Lower California. At one or two
points stage stations are established on
that side Of the line Anxious to obtain
revenue from every possible source, the
Mexican authorities levy heavy an
nual tax upon the stage line for this priv
ilede.
But the United States can by no means
permit such policy to hinder the growth
Of its frontier country-to obstruct Its
commerce and means OF transportation.
The navigation of the great Colorado
river should be free to the sea and oul
Southern Transcontinental Railroad
