CREvAssE.-The Pointe Coupee Echo of the 23d
says: "Another crevasse occurred in our parish on
Monday last, on the plantation of Madame Jarreau,
in the Island of false River; all efforts to stop it
proved unavailing. This crevasse has caused much
damage to the inhabitants of the island, and has
caused the False River to rise at a rapid rate. In
fact it is higher than ever was known before. A
number OF inhabitants on the island and on False
River now constructing evees, so as to prevent
the banks overfowing. This is the first time it
was necessary to construct levees on the False
River or Island"

MULTIPLICATION IN VIRGINIA 1gitiUes from
Jastiee.-Gov. Floyd, of Virginia, has sent mes
sage to the Legislature of that State, in relation to
the refusal of Ohio to comply with requisition for
free negro, charged with crime. Gov. Floyd
makes some well-timed remarks upon the impera-
tive duty of each State to comply with such requ.
sitions, and then goes on to suggest remedy, or
rather mode of retaliation on the States which
thus violate the provisions of the Constitution.
He says: ia
81 am of the opinion, that system of taxation
under the license law can be so arranged as to
transfer entirely the trade from those States which
have trampled under foot the Constitution of the
U nited States, to those which are still willing to
abide by its compromises, and recognize our rights
under it. This would be a peaceful and efficient
remedy, doubly recommended to us because it is
under our own exclusive control and the work OF
our own authorities. The present session is too
far advanced perfect the details of the plan, and
therefore only suggest it that your minds may be
turned to the subject, so as to enable you to act
with promptness and efficiency Immediately upon
your return next winter A concerted and united
action the part of the South in this matter will
either redress our grievances at once, or transfer
the direct European trade to the Southern ports
build up manufactures of all sorts in our country
which would ultimately tend greatly to our strength
| and independence. We now tax tin peddler ten
dollars, while clock peddler has to pay fifty dol.
| lars. The vendors Of all articles manufactured in
the recusant States could be taxed one hundred pei
cent and the vender be required to show where the
| articles were made. Pains and penalties could be
easily attached to any evasion of the law which
would insure the due enforcement of 1t. The de.
tails could be made to embrace live stock and the
| products of the soil"

~ A recent letter from Jamaica states that the
poverty and industrial prostration Of that island
are almostincredble. 1t says that since 1882, out
of the six hundred and ftyth sugar estates then
in cultivation, more than one hundred and fifty
have been abandoned and the works broken up.
This has thrown out of cultivation over 100000
acres of rich land which, in 1882, gave employ
ment to about 10000 laborers, and yielded over
$4,000 hogsheads of sugar and over 5000 pun
cheons of rum.
During the same period over five hundred coffee
plantations have been abandoned and their works
broken up. This threw out of cultivation over
100000 acres. more of land, which, in 1882, re-
quired the labor of over 10000 men.
