ANOTHER CREvAssE has occurred in the Par
ish of Point Coupee The grand levee which
protected the most important point for many miles,
has at last given way before the resistless power
OF the vast river The break was about thirty Yards
wide, yesterday morning, and the water fourteen
feet deep. 1t was thought mpos ible to heal the
breach Thousands of acres planted with Sugar
will be inundated. The planters have now bought
wisdom at price which will make it profitable
Instead OF quarreng about levce taxes and reauis-
tons hereafter, it is fair to suppose they will with
willing hearts and united strength, plan and exc
cute system of levces which will protect their
lands. There are certain points in each Parish
which are the keys to the :nte ior. If these are
secured the back lands are safe. For instance.
strong levee in the upper part of Carroll, immedi-
ately below the mouth of the Arkansas, will pro.
tect millions of acres in the Parishes of Carroll
Madison, Iensas, Concordia, Catahoula, Franklin.
and Caldwell. A strong 'levee at the ancient in
lets OF lakes ST. Joseph and Concorda, will protect
another extensive region. So with the lower Par
lshes. The levee duty has been evaded, or negli.
gently executed, and the result is the loss of the
years crop the destruction of stock, the dlapida-
ton of the buildings.

rha Point Coupee Echo OF the 6th inst. says the
| crevasae at MI. Preston's place has not been
stopped and although attempts are still being made
10 arrest it, we are afraid they viii prove fruiess.
The Efforts 10 dam The canal at Mr.. c. Porches, on
False River, have been also unsuccessful So that
all that portion of the parish between the New
Road and the Mississippi and False River will be
soon completely inundated. About mile, or a
mile and half of the New Road is covered with
water but there are two or three skiffs in attend
ance, to ferry passengers across at all hours.
The river in lrontof our office is at a stand-it
has varied but little for week.
The Sentinel published at Plaquemine, her
vile Parish, gives US the following: A murder
was committed on Grand River, in this parish, on
Sunday morning last, on the person of Capt. Sam
uel Ives, an old and respectable citizen. He was
shot in his yard soon after having risen from his
bed, and lived but a few moments. From informa-
ton received, the murderer is supposed to be man
by the name of Alden Piper, a partner of the de-
ceased, between whom there was some difficulty,
arising from pecuniaIy matters. They lived to-
gesher. Immediately after the murder Piper left
in skiff up Bayou Crosse Tete, supposed to be
making for Red River, and taking with him two
negroes, belonging to him; he had, moreover, made
over his entire property to his brother few days
previous, as has since been ascertained
The st. Landry (Opelousas) Wing Of the LIST inst
says the District Court has been in session since the
18th of last month"; The docket is crowded vel
with civil suits. Among the criminal suits already
decided, we note the following: Joseph Ewing
for the murder Of John P. Roberts, on Bayou Rouge
was found not guilty; Hiram Bradley, for The muir
der of Thomas Pepper, on the Atchafalaya River
| found guilty.
We learn from the Bayou Sara Ledger Of the Stf
that the crevasse at Mr.. Preston's neary opposite
that pace,) unless quickly stopped, will destro!
the entire cane crop many of the best and larges
plantations in Point Coupee. The water from tn,
crevasse is even now fast covering the large plan
taton of Mr.. Poole, formerly known as William
Taylor's
The Ledger adds: The river is now falling slow
ly at this place. Accounts from above represen
all the rivers falling.
The Point Coupee Echo has the following: w
have heard chat some of the Commission Mer
chants of New Orleans, who have been doin
business for planters now refuse to assist Their
with their acceptances, or even plantation supplies
alledging that the parish has been ruined by tn
present high water. Point Coupee is one of tn
richest parishes in the State, and has, heretofore
stood in need of very little assistance of any kline
1t would be then hard and unjust to consider her
no longer worthy of credit, because the prospect
of single crop are nearly blighted to Withdraw
from her that confidence and assistance of whic
she stands in need, and which alone will enabl
her with certainty to meet all her obligations wit
credit to herself and satisfaction to the Commissio
