The LATEST KILOGRAMS from the West con-
firm the fears expressed in earlier dispatches
that general nundation of the bottom lands
would result from the extraordinary rain
storms that have prevailed all over the CEN
trail portions of the Mississippi Valley.
Already large plantations are submerged
in the vicinity of Memphis, and at New Ma
drid the river waters have escaped from their
regular channels and are sweeping through
the lowlands. On all sides the rivers are re-
ported to be steadily rising, and the planters
are making desperate efforts to save their
crops by repairing and strengthening the
levees. The hungry floods have claimed their
first human Victims and further loss of life is
threatened by the bursting of the reservoir
at Celina, Ohio, caused by the heavy rise in
the Wabash River. The scenes of these disas-
tiers lie within the area of the lowest levels of
the Mississippi Valley proper, ana which are
now beginning to receive the vast rainfalls of
the surrounding country.
