GoRDES's LANDING, Ark.
April 4. 1861
To the Editor Of the Ledger:
Seldom has there been for years a
greater threatened overflow than now.
The great quantity of rain and snow
that has fallen for two weeks past, when
they get together, will, wa fear, food the
country. The Mississippi river is very
full, and White river fuller than usual,
throws q great body Of water in a south
west direction, striking the Arkansas
river, and completely mandates ell the
low lands adjacent thereto, making this
fine cotton section "a mighty inland
sea-" Large and 6ne farms near Cor.
denis landing, including W. B. Galbreath's
place, are all under water, the levees be-
ing insufficient 7. W. Aliens place,
Smiths, Walkers, Wynn's and many
others are partly protected.
Less stock has been lost than might
have been expected, the planters having
sent them out to the high land. Previ.
GUS to this freshet q few farmers had
planted corn. but alas, where is itP This
fertile region is we'll supplied with labor,
mostly from West Tennessee, North
Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia
The Red Fork levee stands yet, though
liable to break any moment. No serious
breaks yet in the levees on Ioncspin
and Belco lakes, These protect a large
section of hue country southwest Of Ar.
kansas river, reaching to Watson, the
county seat Of nesha, A large number
Of hands have been working night and
day on the levess and we are hopeful
that the worst is over, PILGRIM.
