The news from the different parts
OF the several Southern States in ref
erence to the recent severe floods is
not assuring. AT Memphis the Mis-
sissippi river is stationary, but it is
expected to rise again in consequence
OF the heavy rains of Sunday. From
New Orleans we.learn OF two crevasses
in the Bayou La Fourche levees, one
of them a serious break. flooding the
country round about. The Secretary
Of War informs US that the losses
and consequent suffering from the
floods in the Northwest exceed any
estimate yet made"
Little Rock sends news of twelve
thousand persons absolutely destitute.
and ITO feed these even until the food
recedes will require double the sum
that has been set aside for that State
from the appropriation by Congress"
Fears are also expressed that under
the best circumstances the ground will
be in such a condition as to delay
planting until too late for a good CROP
As a general thing these floods are
followed by fine harvests, but no such
compensation is anticipated out OF our
present calamity.
Congress has done we'll in dealing
with this misfortune, and we observe
that further efforts have been made to
relieve the wants of the sufferers.
AT the same time our own people
can do something in a private way.
