has flooded the country for some days past,
Is to day snbsiding in earnest, and nearly
all passenger trains were irregularly run to-

reveals the full damage to crops.
The loss in this (Sangamon) county will
not fall far short of a million. It is thought
the number of bridges damaged and swept
away will be very large. Early reports
from all sources would justify an estimate
Of seven or eight millions as the losses by
the foods in Central Illinois.
Crops I'm Nebraska.
