FEARFUL DESTRUCTION.
Southern Floods Result in Wide.
spread Ruin.

COLUMBIA, Miss. April 70. 49, The
death aud desolation caused by
the flood has 50 demoraized the
entire population that the days are
as quiet and business as idle as any
Sabbath. While communication is re-
sumed with the northeastern part Of
the county, still the city is water bound
from every other direction. Later re-
ports rather enlarge than diminish
previous estimates OF loss OF HE and
destruction OF property. A general
idea OF the effect OF the Hood can be
stated Ia this way:
\ belt OF country ranging from five 10
fifteen miles wide, running north and
south through Tie county, Is one stretch
OF debris made up OF ruins OF houses,
fences and carcHsses Of stock. and
1t is doubtful whether there are
left standing in that belt half
dozen houses. The pitiful scenes
of the past few days have opened the
hearts OF all. and public aud private
charity prevents the cruel suffering Of
those who were rescued. But the most
helplessness Will come when the water
subsidies. and there will be left In this
place 1000 10 1900 negroes who have
not one cent and no credit, and the
places that were their homes nothing
but mud holes. The landlords OF the
tenants are i'm 40 condition 10 replace
these destroyed farms. and there Is no
future for the negroes subsisting now
on public charity. II there was ever an
occasion when people had right to
call on their government for help, that
time is now for these poor freedmen.
Even at the present stage OF water
any estimate OF the loss Of life is
pyrcly guess work. but the death
list is a long one. As yet no
death is reported among the whites, as
these low lying lands are inhabited
almost exclusively by the negroes, aud
such whites as lived there were always
kept well protected by keeping good
boats. The old Indian mounds saved
the lives of hundreds Of negroes, besides
countless numbers of stock.
NPHIs, April 12.-Ihe Mississippi
river Is within - feet OF the danger
line, with a rise coming from Cincinnati
and Carlo. The st. Francis basin is I'LL

Memphis to Vicksburg are in fairly
good condition, yet they are not able to
