at Bradley's, few miles above here, is
not so great as ut first reported, and that
the anticipated early decline In the Mis-
sissippi Will draw off the b8ckwster,
which was threatening the most serious
trouble.
There is considerable activity among
the shOvels below here, which has done
q great deal in avertiDg disasters from
the overflow. The present rise should
serve to stimulate immediate action to-
ward Strengthening the levee5 all along
both sides of the river,
