~ The situation is extremely critical
The levee protecting Helena is still in
tact and active work on it is going on,
but it is in a precarious condition in
many places. The only hope is n the
wind calming.
A dispatch from Helena says the
breaking of the levee near Friar's
Point, yesterday, will be very disastrous
to large number of planters and other
people in that section, and that a good
deal of land never under water before
will be overlooked. FrIar's Point Delta
and all the towns for 20 miles back from
the river will be greatly damaged,
and planters will lose their stock,
corn and other supplies.
Accounts from western Tennessee say
that great damage has been done in
Lake and other counties along the river.
Much stock has been lost and many
houses, fences and good deal of corn
and cotton swept away. Some of the
towns are completely isolated, but no
