A declino of ong. inch is reported to-day, with a good chanca of tho water further subsldiug befors sundown. Reports from the Upber Missls- sippl and the Missourt chronicle & fall il the way down, with an occasfonal rise.. The flood sensation of the day comes from tho Madison Coupty dike, opposit Long Lake, whieh was cut Inst night by some uu- known scoundrels, who .so far have succeeded In - escaping - detection, The very best farming land in the -Amer- fcan Bottom, which has hitherto reststed tho encronchment of the flood, Is to-day golng under water Inden with growing and perish- nble crops. It must bo understood that Madison County is diked {n many directions, Beginning at Mudison, on the river Lank, atie dike runs parallel with the Misslssipp!. Anothor dike and Stanley's ditch cut across east at Madison to the high grounds at the north end of Long Lake. From Venice cnst anothor dike reaches out to nearly the south- ernend of Long Lake, n dlstance of about two miles and a half, and then it turns north along tho lake shora until it too reaches the tpiands at the uorth end of tho lake. Theembaukments form an Irregular quadrilateral, with un- equal faces. The river side Is about thir- teen wilos, tha north three miles, the upland cdgo and the oast dyke nbout ten miles, and the south embankment two and a half miles, The quadrilaternl embraces nbout 20,000 acres of lond, alinost whotly under cuitiva- tion, and, although much of it Is roliing ground, nt least 15,000 neres nre cndangoret! Ly the cut. Thosouth end of the trapesold iscut up luto o great wmany small farms, averaging eighty ' ncres. All about the Dreak, trusting to the shelter of tho dike, hiad gathered little lomes,—nona of them rien, but all testifying to moderate comfort and industry, each with its outhouses and gnrden-patches,—about to lose;all that made 1t ynlunble beneath the high tide..
