From Cairo

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.
