The High Water—lmmense Loss of
Property,
The Memphis Appeal , of the 4th instant, gives
the following particulars of the flood in that sec
tion, which has been furnished by a friend resident
in Bolivar county, Mississippi, who came op on
the Nebraska the previous evening:
The break which occurred in the levee at the
loot of island Sixty-Six, of which we heard a
' day or two since, has resulted much more disas
trously than was at first anticipated. It is now
believed to have been the work of design.
Our informant states that some days ago, having
occasion to visit Carson’s Landing with nis family,
• (his residence is some ten miles from the river,)
to procure passage for a female relative upon some
ascending boat, as far as Memphis, he found his
return suddenly cut off and himself completely
hemmed in, by the rapid influx of water conse
quent upon the breakage of the levee above. In a
short time the whole country for miles in extent
was flooded. Large plantations, valued at fifty
dollars per acre, were completely covered, and
nearly all the live stock swept away—all, in fact,
save the few’ who congregated upon little patches
of rising ground here and there, of some lew feet
in extent.
In many places private dwellings furnished shel
ter and protection to “ man and beast.” As in
cases of double tenements somewhat elevated,
‘whites occupied one end of the building, negroes
the other, while in the intermediate porch catt’e
would be huddled as thick as they could stand
In very many instances, however, the houses them l
selves were deserted, tbe owners having been cor * b
pelted to betake themselves to dugouts, boats and
rafts, or whatever came first to hand.
The suffering and distress of the inhabitants is h
described as having been severe in the extreme. ri
Our informant states that up to the time he left fi
fears were entertained that the levee would give
way in other places below the first break, and all e
who could render any effective service were busily
employed catching driftwood and piling it upon ~
the levee, and using all other means m their «>wer
to raise it so as to curb the impetuous flood.
Our informant was detained at the landing two t
days before he could get a boat to send out a yawl
tor himself and fanlily, and they finally had to take
the Ingomar (bound for New Orleans) as far as o
Napoleon, where they waited for the Nebraska. I
Arrived at Napoleon, he found the citizens boating
through the streets, that worthy burgh having also
been inundated.
The last accounts from Yazoo city state that the *
rain had been pouring down in torrents, and the
river was very high. On Friday last the water ,
was getting up into the town.
The Madison (La.) Journal appeals to the people 1
of that region to prepare for the flood, by strength- «,
ening and guarding their levees.
The Waters of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. 1
We extract, says the St. Louis Repuhlican y the fol
lowing in regard to experiments of Topographical
engineers on the waters of the .Mississippi and !
Ohio rivers, from the letter of our Cairo river cor- ,
respondent:
“ Lieut. Abbott's party of Topographical engi
neers are still at work near Columbus, and will re
main there until July, by which time they expect
to ascertain, to a gallon, the amount of water
which flows down the Mississippi in a year, and
the effect of the levees now built and building, up
on the river below. At the deepest point they
found one hundred and fifteen feet of water, at low
water. They have ascertained that the current
runs there at the rate of seven miles per hour;
that there is double the amount of sediment in
the Mississippi there is in the Ohio; that the wa
ters of the two rivers, in ordinary stages, do not
completely intermingle for a distance of fifty miles
below Cairo, and that the amount of sediment at
the top of the current is the same as that seventy
five feet below.”
Vicksburg, April 9.—The river opposite this
point continues to rise slowl v.
A correspondent of the Whig newspaper, of this
city, writing from Bolivar county, says that the
river is there between twelve ana eighteen inches
higher than it is known to have ever before been.
At Lewis’ Swamp, below Friar’s Point, the levee
has been cut by the raftsmen, for the purpose of
enabling them the more easily to get out timber,
and the consequence is damage to the levee to the
extent of thirty or forty thousand dollars.
The levee has given way near Col. Trotter’s
plantation, in Tunica county, and the river is sweep
ing through the country, passing through Phillip’s
Bayou and Moon lake into Yazoo Pass. The ex
tent of the inundation is very wide, the destruction
of property vast, and the damage to the levee very
heavy.
It will be seen by the following item, which we
cut from an exchange paper, that ihe great carom
feat of billiards which we published has been beat
en : “It will be remembered that a Mr. Hester re
cently played a game of billiards, and made seven
hundred and nineteen caroms and two thousand
one hundred and fifty-seven points without going
to the cushion. This, however, has been beaten
by a gentleman at McGregor, lowa, who made one
thousand and four caroms on the red balls, and
counted three thousand and twelve points before the
intense excitement attending such unrivalled suc
cess caused his steadiness of hand to fail him.”

COMMERCIAL.
A urate Market, April 13-3 P. M.
COTTON.—The limited receipts, the stringency of holder*,
and the recent unfavorable news from the South-west, of the
great inundation of the valley lands adjacent to the large
watercourses, have all conspired to restrict operations in our
market the past week. The extent of damage to the lands,
which were already under cultivation, and which will be left,
when the water subsides, in a condition that will require sev
eral weeks to elapse before plowing and planting can be re
sumed, will doubtless prove Irreparable during the present
year. The crops will be delayed from a month to six weeks—
demands will be made for labor which cannot be supplied—
fences, stock, mills, and the thousand prepared conveniences
• and facilities for agricultural pursuits which have been swept
away by the flood, will manifest themselves in the lessened rt*
, eeiptsof produce at New Orleans the next season, as well as
cause much individual privation among the tillers of the soil
in the valley of the Mississippi.
The sales in this market the past week reached about 4,500
bales, at very gradually stiffening prices, and the market closes
at about the following quotations:
Middling to Strict Middling 11#@11#
Good Middling tl#(S;ll#
Middling Fair 11#<§12
Fair, Fully Fair, and choice 12#«g<12#
Some of the lower grades will not command over 3#(«9
cents, but wc have heard of no sales over 12# cents for the
very best qualities of Upland, short staple. The principal
sales range from 11# to 12 cents.
The sales to-day, up to one o’clock, reached 634 bales, as fol
lows :2at9; 32 at 10#; 2at 10#; 12 at 10# ; 7 at 11; 12 at
11#; 102 at 11#; ISO at 11#; 132 at 11#; 12 at 11#; 157 at
12; 14 at 12# ; and 20 bales at 12# cents.
The receipts to-day were 320 bales. *
BACON.—The supply of Bacon is fully equal to the de
mand, and prices continue stea y. Hog round is selling at
10# cents for parcels of 500 to 1,000 lbs., but In large lots 10 to
10# cents would be about the prices realised; but much would
depend on the quality of the meat. Clear bides arc In demanu,
but holders refuse to Bell o'herwlse than hog round. We quote
for Clear bides 11# to 12; Shoulders 9to9# ; and llanis from
11 to 12 cents. Some choice Hams will command a higher
price.
LARD.—Choice Lard, in bids., tl@ll# cents; but for Ex
tra Family Rtflued Lard, in neat packages, we quote 13013#
cents.
CORN.—The stock of this article is very small, and prices
are consequently firm. We quote wholesale at 70, and at re
tail 75080 cents, sacks locluded. The demand is confined to
the city and neighborhood, as present prices will not authorise
shipments to any point on the Atlantic.
WHEAT.—There is very little demand, and wc have not
heard of any sales to furnish quotations.
PEAS.—There is some little enquiry for Peas, and for a
good article we quote from $1 10 to $1 20—some lots are offer
ed at lower prices, but they are mixed Peas, aud not desirable
for shipmeut.
OATS.—The supply is light, and the enquiry limited—gen
eral sales 45 cents.
FLOUR.—The Flour trade continues depressed. We quote
for country brands of Superfine ss@#s 25, and for Extra s6®
96 25. City Mills Superfine #5 25.
GROCERIES—Tbe trade Is only moderate, and Is mostly
confined to cash customers or those who meet their liabilities
promptly. Transactions in the grocery trade are now generally
conducted throughout the country upon the cash basis, and as
merchants arc compelled to buy with cash, they seem deter
mined to part with their goods only in the same way.
SUGAR.—The stocks are good and well assorted. In hhd.«.
prices range from 7# to 9 cents, and Clarified from 9 to 11
cents. We quote for standard brands of A 11#®11#; B 10#
($11; and C 10@10# cents. Crushed and Powdered 12#®13
cents. These are wholesale cash prices, but for small lots and
on time to approved purchasers, a fraction nlgher is asked.
CANDLES.—Prices for Adamantine and Star Candle**
range from 20 to 25 cents by the quantity.
COFFEE.—Rio continues scarce and firm In prices, at from
12 to 13 cents; Laguayra 18#@14; and Java 20
imitation Java can be bought at 18@19 cents.
fW“ In the weekly commercial review In the Charleston
Standard, of 11th inst., It is stated that on Saturday, the
America's advices, reporting a slight decline in some of the
grades of Cotton In the Liverpool market, produced no
change in prices In Charleston, and about 2.000 bales
were sold. The market was governed by the limited stock of
fering, and closed Arm, for Low to Strict Middling 11*, 12®
12*; Good Middling 12*&12*; Middling Fair 12*012* ;
and for Fair 13*.
The reporter says:
“Our tabular statements show a stock in this port of 5.5,744
bales, of which 7,700 bales are on shipboard, not cleared, leav
ing a shipping stock ©n hand of 28.044 bales. Os this quanti
fy* however, but a very small portion is on market, as from
inquiries made among the several holders this evening, we
1 factual stock on sale is slightly over 4,000 bales,
the balance being already purchased and in course of ship
ment, or held on speculation, or at limited prices."
