The RAND FALL NJ the River

The old father of waters seems to have declared
eternal hostility against all the prcsumptuous
dwellers on his banks, disturbers of his depths
His revcngetul mood dis plays itself III various, and
often contrary, forms. For scyeral months past he
has been delugiug with his surplus floods some Of
the richest and best cultivated land in the valley Of
the Mississippi, and keeping The whole dclta-in-
GLIDING our own humble portion ofit-in perpetual
terror of submcrsiun and extinction. His ire has
broken out in fierce crevasses, sudden and awful
gaps in the banks, through which the angry floods
have rushed over boundless fields OF rich verdure
and promising crops. He has, too, surcharged all
his tributaries and olIshoots with his own surplus
until nearly one-half OF our State was converted
into lake. After continuing for some time in this
mood, the ftful monster suddenly took it into his
head TO try another species Of torture and so, down
suddenly went his waters-back flowed the surplus
foods-and empty became the lakes and ayous
The surface of the stream descended with cxtraor
binary rapidity.
The trick succeeded. People were caught nap
ping with wood and other valuable articles on the
levee The bank, relieved of the pressure of the
water, gave way in every direction, and already
vast amount of injury has been done by caving.
In parish-West Baton Rouge, which has al
ready suffered from crevasses and overfOws-th the
injury from this cause, we understand will reach
900. And so all along the coast the damage
done TO leyces by these caves must add consider
ably to the already formidable list Of calamites
which have afflicted State during the last year
The injury from this sudden decline of the waters
is not confined TO the country. The ships lying at
our wharves are in danger Of being left aground,
and some that were nearly ready TO leave with
cargoes are prevented from doing so, being high
and dry in the mud. This is truly an annoying
state of things, and VIC trust that the wise heads
who have gone TO explore something up the river
somewhere, will return with discovery which will
prove second in value only TO that Of De Soto when
he first discovered the Mississippi-to wit: a mode
by which the great Father Of Waters may be
taught moderation, propriety, and general good
conduct
