From Louisville Courier Journal
The poor old down trodden SOUTH 1t seems
mat ever since the late onpleasantness" every
thing goes ag'in her" Now she is to suffer
tares of the OhiN and Upper and Lower Missis-
sippi rivers have been bank full for some time
anu anu u seems that snow and rain have fallen
almost everywhere. which will have the effect to
assist them in pouring forth their angry floods
INTO the three great rivers. Already the overflow
IN the South is disastrous, but we fear the worst
is yet to come. The cutoff at Island 81 is likely
to be repeated opposite Vicksburg. Old steam |
boatmen prophesy heavier overflow in the
southern country than has been since 1874. Our |
river dispatches will furnish the latest news con-
corning the overflow. We trust it will not prove
80 disastrous as it promises. but with such |
rainy. wet weather as we have been having and |
are having now. we can't see the hopeful side OF |
the picture as yet See the news from Memphis |
below.
Want of space prevents us from giving our
usual extracts this morning.
