The dispatches from Helena show
that the river, having eliminated
there at little over 4S feet, has begun
slowly to fall and the worst is over.
The section of country in Arkansas
which has been flooded has not been
protected by levees to any considerable
extent since the war and has been
flooded in every high water season up
to the present. The rise there this
year has, however, been nearly one
foot higher than in any previous flood,
and as a consequence lands and houses
have been reached by the water which
had heretofore been untouched. AS
the water is likely to run off rapidly,
since the river is falling fast at all
points above, it is hoped that the lands
will be dry in time to permit the plan.

least of corn. The Mississippi State
levees have held their own, and ia all
likelihood the extensive and fertile
region of the Yazoo basin will escape
damage. The Louisiana levees are
believed to be in better condition than
has been known for years, and the
Eplanters and the railway companies
and others along the banks are deeply
interested in the preservation of the
lsvees, and will do all they can to
maintain them. The flood will be
down on them in week or less, and
il the levees above Red River can be
held the river below will be relieved
by the Atchafalaya outlet.
