I'hrcats wcro made last night to cut what s known as the Madison county dyke , vhich is it high onibaiiknumt running ostwardly from the river a milo and n inlf , about 'midway between Ihooklyn , nd Venice , but after a long and , ngrywrangle between n number if inhabitants of the former place and , ml some people living north of the dyke , t wosj decided nothing should bo done , a the cutting of the dyke would let more rater into Brooklyn , and inundate that > .irt of the town not now submerged , i'ho people were very determined , and guarded all night with shot guns and ther weapons. A largo volume of water is still flowing , hrotigh the breaks made yesterday in the Chicago & Acton and ether railroad tracks and is spreading out and covering more of the bottom toward the blutls find along the Vand lia railroad , but no dam age to the latter is yet reported. Re ports from points along the Missouri rafy considerably. At. some places the water is still rising , while at others it has fallen from five inches to two foot. It ii safe to say , hovovor , that there is con siderable more water to como down from this side 'of St. Joseph , and the rise here may bo a foot higher. A dispatch from Bismarck says _ the Yellowstone river is already a high as laet year and the Missouri is rising at that point. Telegrams from ether places high up the Missouri indiqato that the _ Usual Juno rise has commenced , and iiuall likelillOod some part of it will reach hero before the present flood recedes to Inny great extent. Should this bo the case , the situation will become alarming , and the destruction of property along both upper and lower rivers will bo appalling. The river rose another throe inches to day and still coming up slowly. No par ticular change in the situation on this side of the river. The whole of the lovco is now submerged and in the lowest places the first floors of stores are flooded from a few inches to a couple of foot deep.

A little excitement was occasioned in East St. Louis this afternoon by the threatened overflow of the Cairo Short Line track by backwater , blli the dam of earth find 'sand-bags liastily thrown up on the water side of the track chocked the flow of water and averted the danger. The Chicago and Alton , in connection with the St. Louis and Wabash , are driv ing piles in the break in their track above Venice , and it is expected they will liavo a good trestle across the gup by Wednesday , and their trains bo runniii" again. A largo number of farmers and land ow nors on the American bottom and residents of Venice and other towns be tween East St. Louis and Mitchell , hold a mooting at Venice this afternoon , and after exchanging views on the situation , adopted the following : Jtcsolvcd , That inasmuch as many of our people have boon sullerors by floods for the past three years , and the present general overflow has rendered destitute a largo number of people who , without as sistance , will bo unable to put in crops during the coming year , wo doom it our duty to appeal to all who are able to assist those thus situated ; that n descrip tion of the misery entailed upon our sec tion of the country would seem like ex aggeration , so fearful in its nature is the truth , and that it will bo at least thirteen months before another crop will bo raised and in the meantime destitution in all its forms confronts the sufferers. In view of these facts , wo fool justified in appeal ing for assistance , and-roquost that all contributions bo sent to Henry Robin son , president of the board of trustees of Venice , 111. , for distribution. A largo number of the sufferers re ferred to in this resolution are either camped in tents on ridges , surrounded by water , or are in the open air on the bluffs beyond. Many are also housed in box cars on railroad tracks , and n good many of them will bo obliged to bo fod. Their crops are totally destroyed , and they are destitute of money or any of the necessaries of life. The national stock yards of East St. Louis are > in no danger of being flooded , an has boon reported. They can easily stand a rise of three foot and it would require four foot to stop business. The Union yards on this side of the river are also well protected and in no danger. The situation in East Carondolot and Cahokia glows worse daily. The water covers that whole section of country and some flooded out families ) are beginning to suffer. Their wants will probably bo supplied to-morrow. The railroads which have lost their trucks have abandoned the ferrying system between hojo and Alton and have arranged with the Van- dalia road to run their pusongor : trains. The Indianapolis and St. Louis will send their trains to Efliugliani and thence to Mnttoon. The Wabash will use the Vandalia to Allamont where it will take its own trackt and the Chicago & Alton and 0. , B. & Q. will run to Smithlwro wlieru they will connect with their own roads. All other castoni lines are using their own tracks , and all western roads are getting trains through in pretty good shape. The Van- drdia track about which , there was eomo apprehension yesterday , is still two feet above the water and can readily be made to resist four or five feet. ALTON , Juno 25. The magnitude of Mio disaster from the floods below this city is just beginning to ber disclosed. The break of the dyke below this city has caused destruction covering a wide area. The Suy Carte bottoms nro ruined for the year. Thousands1 of families , between , Louisiana and Crofton nro homeless and llooing before the floods.
