Special to Evening Journal.
CAIRO, April 23.
It is reported that the Mound City hospital is to be suspended until after the waters subside, sewers opened, &c. The sick and wounded are to be transported to other hospitals.
A steamboat expedition across the bottoms above the city has effected a junction with the railroad at iron bridge, some six miles above Cairo.
Very little change in the stage of water.
3 P. M. – The steamer Tigress just arrived from Pittsburg Landing with officers of the 12th Iowa on board. They report water lower than a month ago. They have but twelve effective men left of their regiment.
Arrivals from Com. Foote bring nothing of interest.
Nothing new from the army.
