THE GREAT FLOODS. populated—Reports from Many Place* Tdl the Same Story ot Advaaeln* Flood* and Receding Hopes—Former Crevame* Still Widening. Vicksburg, Miss., April IS.—At ® p. id. the river was 51 feet S-lOths, a fall oi S-lOths in the past 3-1 hours and a total of 6-10ths since the crevasse at Biggs levee at 10 o'clock Friday night. The situation in Madison parish, La., is growing hourly worse. The flood of water going through the Biggs break in the levee is fast covering the lowlands and is flooding Bay Vidal and the greater part of the land in the southern portion of tlfe parish. The water has reached Tallulah, some eighteen miles west of Delta. The water had risen seven feet in the bayou at Tallulah and was rising a foot an hour at noon to-day. Delta is about depopulated, only enough persons remaining to look after the houses. Many of them have two or three feet of water in them. The backwater is fast covering lands north of Delta and at Young's Point much land is already covered. At Omega the floods are coming fast. Relief boats are running to Davis' island and Kellogg's section. Planters in the central and north part of Madison are placing their stock in reach of boats on the river front or at stations on the line of the Vicksburg A Shreveport railroad, so they can be moved in the event of another break in the upper portion of the parish, which is now severely threatened. Millikan's Bend and Duck port levees are both caving. Reports from Madison parish state that the water began rising in Bush by bayou, at Tallulah, at 7 o'clock this morning, and up to about 8 p, m. it had risen seven to eight feet. About three miles below Tallulah the water is getting over the levees and is overflowing everything two miles below. It will uot be upon the higher lands until to-morrow as there is several feet of bank left in the bayou. Richland, La., was heard from today and reports the water going all over everything, overflowing King's and Kel's places, also the villages of Trinidad and Ash wood, eight miles below Richland. The telegraph line is down some distance below Richland and communication was shut off from there up to noon to-day. The water is beginning to back up Lake One. on the line of the Vicksburg A Shreveport roads. Work is still going on at Millikeu's Rend levee, and they are reported in good shape there. They worked about seventy men there to-day and will work to-morrow with a much larger force. The people at Tallulah are building up the old levee on Bushry ba \ ou as far south as Sevier's, about eight miles south, in an endeavor to hold the water in the bayou. Everybody is getting their stoek together, so as to move promptly. Mr. Stubbs, of the Vicksburg <& Shreveport railroad, says an effort will be made to handle passengers and mail service, from Delta to some point on the line west, where the trains can come, thereby keeping up communication. The road was transferring here under the most adverse conditions before the break at Biggs, which soon made that impossible, as tjje track was flooded to the depth of several feet in less than 13 hours.

It is now estimated that not less than 5,000 persons will need relief in this county for the next 80 days at least. Lieut. Crowley, of the United States army, reached here from Washington by the noon train, having been detailed to duty here to purchase and distribute relief. lie has gone actively to work and will purchase meal, meat and molasses for distribution through the gentlemen named by the governor. John M. Chilton, one of the leading planters of Issaquena county, is in the city and makes the following statement: “I have just returned from Issaquena county. The present indications are that the overflow will break all former records as to duration and destruction of property in the line of plantation improvements and loss of cattle, leaving little prospect of planting a crop in No More Break*. Bat Former CrenwtM tYaieulng. Me Minus, Teen.. April 18.—No more breaks are reported in the Louisiana levee district to-night, although the embankments at Hancock and Ferri,iay, in the northern part of Concordia parish, are reported to be very weak and a break may occur at any hour. The crevasse at liiggs is now a seething torrent and the waters are spreading rapidly throughout Madison parish. At Cowpen the levee is seeping badly, and although a superhuman effort is being made to hold it. many experienced river men are of the opinion that a break will occur sooner or later. The town of Vidalia is in a very critical condition and many of the inhabitants are hastily packing their most valuable effects and are fleeing to Xatchex. The waters from the Biggs crevasse are expected to inundate the town by Wednesday. At Katehex refugees continue to arrive in large numbers, while live stock of every description is coming into the city in large droves. Thousands of men line the lower levees to-night, watching every weak point and hoping for the best. The Flood la the Ml—part. Kansas Cmr, Mo., April 17.—The Jood in the Missouri river at this point .s steadily increasing, the rise in 34 hours ending last night having been nearly six inches. At dark the stage of the river was 23.5 feet, or a foot and a half above the danger line. Though a large area of bottom lands is under water, no serious damage has been done so far. A few poor families, numbering probably 50 persons, have been washed oat of their homes an* are in need of food, but their wants will nmhably be met to-morrow *»y the
