people, mostly negroes, were landed on
the levee yesterday afternoon by the
relief steamers that are daily visiting
the flooded districts adjacent to this
city. Vague reports reached here last
night of the drowning of several peo-
pie in Arkansas yesterday, but these
cannot be verified. For the first time
in many days the river is stationary,
marking 1866, but the rise at Cairo and
the reported heavy rains in Missouri
aud other states will only serve to in
crease the broad expanse Of water in
this vicinity. There was a steady
doWnpour of rain in Arkansas and
west Tennessee all day yesterday.
The gauge at Memphis yesterday
morning indicated 1855 feet, this being
a rise of two-tenths Of foot in the

the same time the gauge indicated
1876, a rise of tWo-tenths Of foot in

fourtenths of a foot occurred in "a
