Information About h Floods.
ST. LOUIS, March 21.-The Clerk Of the
steamer City Of Providence, just from
vicksburg. gives some information about
the floods on the lower rivers not before
published. He says the Parasol Steam
boat Company, which u n steamers up
the Yazoo river and its tributaries, is do
ing more to assist and rescue the people in
that district than the Government and
everybody else combined. 1t has sent into
the submerged district Of the Yazoo river,
the Sunfiower and the Tallahassee, the
light-draft steamers Desmet and Head
light. equipped for special work. Each
boat is supplied with a full complement of
skiffs, axes and other necessary utensils
They steam into the flood as far as prac-
ticable, then anchor and send d~etachments
in every direction to look for the sufferers.
They have medicines, stimulants, etc., in
each boat. The crews are started out in
the morning, with instructions to prose-
cute their searches until nearly dark and
then to return. The Sunflower. says the
Clerk, returned the day he left Vicksburg.
| On board she had $50 sufferers. and her
deck wa crowded with cattle that had
been picked up. The people on board
were nearly all sick and a majority of
them in destitute circumstances. Another
of their boats, the Headlight, is expected
back at any time. She will also be
crowded with passengers and cattle. The
worst point on the whole river is Milligan's
Bend. There is an overflow and a counter
overflow in that district. The waters from
the Mississippi are going over the levee,
and the floods and back-water from the
Yazoo are coming in from behind. As a
consequence where these two bodies meet a
whirlpool is formed, which destroys every
thing in its course. The locality of the
whirlpool is changing constantly, and
every day il completes new destruction,
A large yawl filled with negroes was caught
in it the other day and upset, and all Of
the occupants drowned. The whirlpool
struck a church a few days ago, in which
several people with their stock had taken

the Governor Of Nebraska for calling GU,
the militia against the Omaha strikers. A
platform was adopted. declaring that every
