ANoTHrR DEsTRUcTvE CREvAssE IN LouIsIANA.-The
crevasse in Grand Levee Point Coupee will fear,
prove one OF the most dis and caamous events
which has taken place in Louisiana for many years
past This break occurs at point where the river
has long indicated tendency to break through to the
sea, in direction which would be less than half
the distance 1t is now compelled to meandsr before
reaches its destination In other words the distance
from the Grand Levee, in Point Coupee, to the
one-third the distance that point the Balise
This tendency of the Mississippi towards the seahore
has been developing itself every year until by the
fortunate and unwise act of cutting the Rae courci
Cutoff the whole torrent was brought down with such
mighty pressure that gradually all the barriers erect
ed in Point Coupee have given way; and even previ-
TO this break In the Grand Levee nearly half
OF the parish had been put under water This recent
calamity however Is the last and browning disaster OF
the multitude which have afflicted State during
the last The water which breaks through here
will hasten rapidly towards the sea over country the
faIest am most productive on this continent We
refer to the Attakspas, embracing the parish of st.
Mary which produces the largest amount of sugar Of
any parish in the State st. Martin Lafayette, and
large part of Ascension and Ibbervie These parishes
situated in low fiat country composed Of auvi-
al soil, and watered by numerous bay GUS and lakes
The flow Of so large body Of water into these outlets
will cause such Q rise must inundate the whole
country 1t was, we believe by similar in

and highly respectable merchant of this city, who has
been travelling at the West
De RUYrrR, Madison Co, N. Y. June 10, 1850.
Z" The appearance Of the growing wheat Is extremely
magnificent but 1t is backward ten days at least but
through sections OF Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and
further West the crop will be very small and to some
extent. entire failure. 1 farmer fromdiichi-
gam whose entire crop of eighty would not pro-
duce the seed and he feared the loss Of all his cate
GEoRcIA.-The La Grange (Ga) Reporter Of June IA,
says In this section Of the country crops very
backward. They have been much injured by cold wea-
ther and are now being ruined by lice One Of our
best farmers gives 1t his opinion that II the
next fall be favorable as the last fall land it cannot
be iavorable and other portions Of the country
have Jared badly this has Jared the crop
will not exceed 100000 bales Indeed the prospects
are very gloomy.
LouIsIAsA-The Alexandria (La) Democrat of the 5th
inst says We have heard numerous complaints from
planting friends, that their crops have to great
extent suffered materially and that the present will
be very light one compared to those OF any previous
year Rain is much needed, and would produce great
and favorable change in the appearance OF the crops
