RISING BELOW vICKsBURG.
All Hands at Work strengthening

All Hands at Work strengthening
the Strained Levees.
st. Louis, Mo, April 15-Below Vicks-
burg the water continues 60 rise, and the
the strain on the leveeS is, in consequence,
increased. Several small breaks occurred
yesterday. Only the most prompt action
prevented the creTassss widening be-
yond hope OF repair. The levee in Con-
cordia parish has been abandoned, and
all hands are working with feverish haste
in constructing a new levee behind the
present one at Davis Island. No one is
known TO have been drowned, but several
persons are missing from Davis Island.
Heavy rains in the lower valley weakened
the levees, hindered work on them, and
added to the sea covering the Yazoo
Delta and eastern Arkansas. The rain
killed the hope of even the most sanguine
planters. There is no possibility that a
crop can be planted unless the upper
crevasses can be closed soon. Commercial
bodies at Vicks burg passed resoluIi 5Rs
asking the Government to close these
breaks at an early day as possible.
At Helena yesterday the downpour was
OF such violence that great pumps were
put to work in the lower part of the
city. The water gained so rapidly that
the pumps had 10 be discontinued on ac-
count of the driving belts becoming soaked
and unnanageable. The whole of the
southern part Of Helena is under water
from to 4 feet deep, and those who had
provided themselves with boats were for
tImate. The pumps were started up again
at night, and it is expected that the
water viii be thrown cut OF the streets
ia three or four days. Owing to the great
rain storm the river did not fall at
Helena, but is stationary.
