The mighty sweep of the waters, south of Vicks burg, has at last had its effect upon the lower levees, and a tele gram from Tallalah, La., reports that the levce,wliich protects Dayis island, has given way and that the island will, In all probability be flooded.

Many people are being fed and housed at Greeville, Itosedale, Helena, Friars Point, and other points along the river.

The Wil liamson creyasse has widened consid erably, but the velocity of the water has abated and no further breaks are feared. At Greenville the river Is sta tionary.
