IMPRISONMENT.

IMPRISONMENT.
Paris. June 23.-IIenri Rochefort, in his
evidence at the trial OF Louise Michel yes
terday. endeavored to show the fal,ity OF
the charge OF pillage against the prisoner.
He said in support Of the claim OF the I'M
truthfulness Of the charge that when She
was eXiled she reduced herself to poverty
TO aid her ielow-sutleIers. The prisoner
spoke in her own defence. She violently
attacked the Government, and declared
that the issue Of pamphlets to soldiers in
citing them TO burn their barracks and
murder their officers was justified. She
declared that the soldiers at Sedan would
have done well TO shoot their officers and
save their honor.
The Jury found Louise Michel guilty,
and She was sentenced TO six years impil-
sonment and ten years police supervision.
OF the other prisoners charged with riot
ing and pillage, Ponget was sentenced to
EIGHT wears imprisonment and ten years
police supervision. and Morel to one year :

my careful consideration. Ii has already
been under consideration by the Secretary
OF State. Correspondence in regard 10 il
has been had with our diplomatic and con-
sular representatives, and an investigation
into facts is now being made by them. II

with which it holds amicable rela-
international friendship before calling
attention TO any such matter. In
the mean time the law now provides
that the officers OF the Treasury shall en-
anime into the condition Of passengers
arriving as immigrants at any port of the
United States, and ii there should be found
any convict, lunatic, idiot, or any person
unable to take care OF himself without be-

port, and such person shall not be permit

ST. LOUIS. June 23.-The Madison dyke,
between here and Alton on the Illinois
side Of the river. broke about o'clock this
morning in two places. one break is near
Mitchell, about twelve miles from East st.
LOUIS; the other further north, near the
head OF the dyke, not far from Alton. The
crevaSSes are not very wide yet, but grow
ing rapidly. and the water is rushing
through them at a fearful rate. IL is eX-
pectcd the entire bottom north OF East II.
Louis, embracing fifty to sixty square
miles. will be flooded. Farmers are leaving
their homes as rapidly as possible, many Of
them going to Alton and others to different
points OF The bluffs. five or six miles back
from the river. The destruction OF crops
and damage to farm property will be very
great.
PANIC-STRICKEN PEOPLE - HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LOST.
ST. LOUIS, June 23.-The Post Dis
patents Alton Qll) special says: " The
panic among the people when the levee
broke was very great and universal. They
fled toward the bluffs, carrying with them
whatever OF live stock and household goods
they could save. Many head OF live stock
were drowned. There is fast rise coming
down the river, and this will no doubt
augment the flood until the water reaches
the bluls-sevcn miles from the river. As
1t is, all the country between Mitchell and
Venice is or soon will be overlooked, and
the destruction to crops will cause the loss
of hundreds OF thousands Of dollars. Not
only are crops ruined, but the force Of the
overflow has torn the soil to pieces, and in
many places sand~piles will take the place
of fertile ground"

THE FLOODS.

While the waters of the Ohio, Cumbei-
land, Tennessee and Illinois rivers have
been rapidly falling during the past week,
so AZ to end further anxiety on account OF
floods for tho season IN those regions, the
outlook down the Mississippi Is every day
growing worse. Already between Mem
phis and Helena there IS no land TO be seen
between the bluffs. From the mouth OF
the st. Francis river at Helena up into the
sunk lands, near Madison, Mo, all Is under
water except The Indian mounds and one
or two high hills. The people generally
have deserted the country. Several lives
have been lost N that region, and persons
lost in the overflow have been picked up
in boats in q starving condition,
At Memphis and Helena, on Wednes-
day, the river lacked but inches of the
highest point last year. Below Helena
the new levees held up pretty well, but the
people had no faith IN them and boats and
other floating apparatus were being rsplc'
ly constructed, and planters as well rs pco
pie OF the city were furnishing themselves
With means o! escape, should the leyees
break.
The ievees below Fr!ar's Point gave way
on Tuesday, and a few hours later the Filz
hugh leyee, five miles below Helena, gave
way. The crcvasse next morning WAS 100
yards wide, increasing rapidly, and the
rush OF water through the opening was
terrific.
From VIckshurg The latest dispatches
say:
News from all points OF this section is
unfayorable. Back water almost entirely
surrounds the Delta lcyee, Louisiana, and
work will have to be suspended The
Elsie protection levee gave way in the
storm at 3 O'Clock this morning. The
main levee broke in three places at 8
o'clock A. ". There is a gap at Station 90
thirty feet wide, and at Station so seventy
feet WIDE and three feel deep. One snail
break was closed, but the others are be-
You'd contIol. The giving way Of the
lcree will cause serious damage to the
lower portion of Issaqucna county. and
VIII overflow the plantations Of Keep,
Dunbar. Hunt, Magnolia, Mount Laurel,
Wilderness, Wadctown, Harris, Glover
Hill and Duncan Ridge. The water IS
going directly into S'erls Bayou.
