steadily at the rate of two inches in "a hours.
The weather is cloudy and threatening. The
levees below here as far down as Friars Point
are still reported good, the only break being at
the cut in the Oldtown levetee through which
water is pouring, threatening the plantations
below. The st. Francis river at Madison,
Arkansas had risen four feet at midnight, and
was rising rapidly. This water comes from the
Mississippi river near New Madrid and threat
ems the fine cotton lands above Helena on the
Arkansas side. Cotton men predict a loss of
$4,000 bales in Memphis district alone from the
present outlook.
A letter from the mouth of the White River
2.15 inst. says, it will take one foot more water
to cover one-half of the cotton outside of the
levee, one.third of which is now in the water.
Behind the levees we can stand three feet with
out damage. Corn was planted in rows, and
is now in the water and lost.
