AT NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans, April 20.-Thc floods
which commenced the early part of the
week have already caused, at Il con-
servative estimate, fully $4,000, 900 loss
in Central and Southern Mississippi, to
say nothing of the damage sustained
by the railroads. The extent of the
losses have not yet been fully realized,
and it may be some days yet before
an accurate total can be reached, as
mail communication has been totally
cut off between those localities which
have suffered most. In Louisiana, too,
the damage done by the unprecedented
rains was great but in this State they
are more inferential than positive. y
special from Columbia. Miss, fixes the
loss in that little town and its imme-
dintc vicinity at 100000.
Pearl river is now higher than it has
been known for many years.
The distressing news comes from
Hickory. Miss. a small town on this
road. which is now com "letely sur
rounded by water and inundated in
many Llaces. Hundreds Of hogs ana
cattle near this ooint We're drowned.

MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA.
Meridian, Miss. April 2l-The extern
sive rains which have prevailed over
Mississippi and parts Of Alabama for
seven days, making the rivers ana
smaller streams of these States rise to
an unprecedented extent and overflow
the lowlands. is causing suffering anG a
loss of property never known before.
Thousands of acres of farming lands
have been devastated. and the early
crops will prove ii total loss. Homes
have been noated away. the occupants
losing much of their household furni-
ture. and in some instances not escap-
ing with their lives. Thousands of head
of cattle, sheep and hogs and fowls
have been drowned.
MILLIONS IN DAMAGE.
Jackson, Miss, April 21.-With the
exception of a heavy rainfall now in
progress. there is no change in the flood
situation tonight. Pearl river fell four
inches during the afternoon. and If the
rain proves of short duration and local
in nature the water will be subsiding
rauidly in the inundated district by to-
morrow. The Illinois Central is now
getting its trains through 10 New Or
leans. Conservative reports received
from nearly all of the counties affected
by the deluge indicate that the dam
age in the State of Mississippi alone
will reach two million dollars.
