INTERIOR STREAMs-Lafourcise aud 7scle.
The Planters FRANKLIN, La) Banner of the 22d,
in an article high water and crevasses, alludes
to the necessity of mutual protection and relief.
1t remarks "The Strengthening of the Grand
Levee at Pointe Coupee is the result of the COM
bined efforts Of many Parishes, and this system CT
mutual assistance should be carried out where the
requisite outlay would be too great tax on those
more Immediately Interested"
The editor thinks that owners of property in
interior and remote Parishes should see the pro-
priety of contributing to fund for uses of mutual
protection and relief. He concludes by showing
the present alarming height of the Latourehe, ana
the dangers which the country watered by it has
to dread: /" The Lafourche has almost reached its
highest altitude and great fears are entertained
that all the country below will be overlooked, in
consequence OF the bad state of the levees A
crevasse has already occurred about eighteen miles
below Thibodaux, and many more are likely to
follow Now we of the Teche have no such fears
for nature made our banks, yet feel interested
for the country at large"
