HE CREvAssE.-We learn with regret
that the crevasses in St. Charles and onpo-
site US are still extending their damages
Two o. the three breaks on Mime La
branches plantation, on Friday, were Joined
into one immense one by the breaking of
the Ievee previously standing between them.
Not only is a large potion Of Lafourche un-
der water, hut many plantations in the parish
Of St. James, previously. considered beyond
probability of overflow, are inundated ; and,
as the waters continue to flow in, both from
the crevasses opposite New Orleans and Car
%rolIton~ and from those in St. Charles, and
there is as yet no sign of the river at those
points folling, the prospect is anything but
encouraging. A gentleman residing on the
coast, on whose observation all reliance. may
be placed, and who has the best opportunities
and sufficient cause to exercise it, assures
us that the river has been stationary oppo-
site his plantation for about five weeks.
From the same source we learn that the
odor arising from the decaying of the over
flow vegetable ard animal matter has already
become SO offensive to planters, even on this
side OF the river, as to compel them to close
every opening at night in order to exclude
it, and fears are felt that it may ultimately
engender sickness. This, it is to be hoped,
however, will not prove the case.
The overflow is reported to have had the
effects of greatly extending the perigrinations
OF those amphibious monsters, the alligators,
AS many as a hundred have been killed on
one plantation since it commenced.
The crops not affected by the overflow,
We are glad to hear represented lis very

AN ATLANTA BREAKrAsr.-Sut Lovengoot

jots down the following good I'M"
You have often heard, but perhaps never
ventured to publish, a good yarn on DR..
and a tin top landlord and wit; but he GER
tainly caught it once: A traveller called very
late for breakfast. The meal was hurriedly
prepared, Thompson, feeling that the feed;
was not quite up to the mark, made all sorts
of apologies all around the eater, who worked
on in silence, never raising his head beyond
the afinitive influence of his fork, or by any
act &C acknowledging even the presence Of mine,
host. This sulky demeano. rather "flea'd"
the Doctor, who, changing the range Of his
battery, stuck his thumbs in hi" vest arm
holes, expanded his chest by robbing the
room OF half its air. and said Nov, mister,
doh dnrn me, if | hairt made all the apology
necessary, am more too, considering the
breakfast, and who gets it, and now | tel:
you | have seen d~irtier, worse cooked, worse
tasted, worse looking, and a hi of a sight
smaller breakfast than this is several times"
The weary, hungry one meekly laid down
his tools, swallowed the bite in t~ransitu,
placed the palms of his hands together, and
modestIy looking up at the vcxed and Tuning
landlord, shot him dead with the words fol-
lowing, viz neutrality-suspicious. 90
Yes. sir" came with d vindictive prompt
ness. swell, then, pll be id. boss, if You
haint OUT TRAVELLED ME.n There was posted
in the front door a small bigger, especially
to tell the wayfaring man., dat he didn't
owe MOTTO dar, sartin sure" After he was
fairly under way, Thompson was observed
creeping from an attic window, taking a pro-
longed rear view of the steed and its rider
with a four foot telescope. 1t has been init
mated that the Doctor hesitated many sec
onds between the choice of the glass and
double barreled shot gun. -

The EUGENE STRAIGHTFORWARD by the
pleasant weather of Wednesday and an IN
tense desire to *vegetate" for an hour or two
in the pleasant little city OF Red Stick, we
crossed the river, aud after ''smiling;; at SIMON
through the bottom Of one of his cut-s!ass
tumblers, we promenaded slowly down Lafa-
yette street, until the huge " single" Of
S~cnnAL'SsKY 4 Co., attracted olr attention.
\ feverish desire to examine one of those
incompatible Euge,ie Skirts seized upon us
SrRAus smiled invitinglY upon us, and We
entered the establishment. Piles and piles
Of goods of all kinds lay temptingly display
ell around, and we mechanically thrust our
hand into our pocket, just to feel how tinan-
ces stood, before we attempted to purchase.
But alas! nary red came in ~contact with our
fist, and slghingly drew it forth, firmly re-
solving that a sight at those Skirts should
make up for Dur disappointment. SrnAus
displayed the articles to our gaze, and piled
on the agony strong, as he descanted upon
their beauties, merits and qualities. Over
come by the sight of so muchtempting femi-
nine apparel, we silently and with consider
able dignity, withdrew to partake OF a slight
refreshment at LuKE's. We have been dream
ing Of Eugenie Skirts ever since.

A New K1NK.-The Lake Providence
Herald, of Sd inst, speaking of ameliorating
the condition of our ~levees, mentions the fol-
lowing novel suggestion:
Among the most ingenious as we'll as most
plausible ideas we lave heard suggested in
connection with the improvement of our
~levees. is that of a cast iron waU to be snhsti-
tuted in lieu of the dirty dykes which now
line the borders ofthe river. 1t is contended.
that d wall Of this character would combine
advantages superior to those Of the present
system Of leveeing, inasmuch, as it would
possess, besides strength and durability, the
facility Of easy construction, as well as re-
moyal, when necessary. In point of econo-
my, it would only be a question of time to
shew conclusively, that the odds would pre-
ponderate greatly in favor Of the iron scheme.
Indeed. we incline to the belief, that the cost
in the outset would not exceed that of build
ing earth embankments. And then to think
Of the permanent safety and security, which,
comparatively, would be enjoyed by our peo-
pie F! There would be no washing away of
the 1evees-no cutting of them to let in the
water and do millions Of damage to the coun-
try-no earthing of stumps, logs, whiskey
barrels; etc, in the levees, during their con-
structiont BY dishonest contractors.
A; e~ast-iron waH is good! We think we
can suggest a better wall. Build one entirely
of brick from the point where l~eveeing COM
mences down to the Balize. Let the wall
be at least SIX feet thick, solid and substanti-
al, and then have a foundation below the
level Of the bed Of the river, and about six
feet higher than the highest water mark ever
kno wn.: Then the !"old father of waters''
could do his worst. A ea*t-iron ~levee! We
like the idea. t%

They had a new way of corresponding. Every

a log OF wood dropped off: The woman would

After a while the husband detected the trick.
1t was not the stick Of wood, however,that put
them at logggerhesds. They had been on bad
