ANOTHER CREvAssE AT LoBDELL's..

ANOTHER CREvAssE AT LoBDELL's.--
Hardly had the news reached us of the
successful closing Of the first upon the
plantation of JOHN L. LoBDELL, before
the alarm was given that, another far
more dangerous had taken place about
three acres above the first. The levee
gave way about two O'Clock in the morr-
ing, and before dark of the same day,
The breach was near four hundred feet
wide, with a deplh, from five to seven
feet. The ends of the break have been
secured to prevent further washing, but
1t is the depth Of crevasse aud not the
width that renders difficult their c%losin-.
We despair Of seeing this II closed
unless the Swamp Land Commissioner
Or State Engineer take the matter in
hand. The planters Of that neighbour
hood are already worn out with their
exertions in closing the first one, while
their crops have suffered so much that
it will make little difference to them.--
The railroad, we fear, will be the greatest
sufferer, and it would not be at all sur>
prising if it we're compelled to suspend
operations. We hope for the best in all
cases, but must confess that hope is
IS rather slim. A competent engineer
and surveyor informed US that it could be
i commenced upon Immediately,
left for a week or two, would be
impossible from: the depth that must
naturally result from the swiiftn:ss Of the
current.

Our STATE SENATORIAL 1srE1cr,

nation made that suited US, and we be-

people Of West Baton Rouge, irrespec-
tive Of party We alIude Is Hon. AL
ExANDER BARROW, who received the
support of the meeting for State Sena-
tor from this District. His nomination
was carried by exclamation without a
dissenting voice--a merited compliment.
If the people of |the 10 "!and river par
isles desire the formation. of an effective
Levee system, they must send planters
to the LegisIature-men who have dol
lars and cents interest in the matter and
not trust it to :squirmy politicians
Hence our Interest in the selection of
Mr.. BARRow-we tell it in a few words
so that there may be 10 installing our
meaning. What the Democracy oflhaS
other parishes will say to it, w~escannot
imagine, but trust to their own reason in
the matter. For instance East Feiici-
ana is. represented by Dr.. DELoSY, an
excellent Senator from the highlands,
and therefore will hardly claim the
choice. East Baton Rouge was repre-
scented by Dr.. BURLINGTON, whose term
has just expired-she ought then to Weld
the choice to u.s.. 1t has been some years
since we were represented in the Senate
by a West Baton Rougean, and we think
it no more than just to give it us now.
We are placed in a Senatorial District
where there is no identity of interest to
bind US together. East Feliciana is a
highland parish, above the reach of over
flows from %crevasses, and can have no
direct interest in a levee system. East
Baton Rouge has but a few miles to care
for, while with us, we have the entire
front of nearly forty miles to protect.
from the Mississippi. !, It was our wish
to be placed with Pointe Coupee or 1ber.
vi'le-any lowland1 parish, but as we
could not get what We wanted, we must
be contented asst is. The American
party will makesnos nomination for that
and as We believe Mr.. BARRow's
is. well. known. we trust he
will receive at theirhands, that considera-
% is fully entitled to.

In Il recent lecture in Washington on
the Earth and Man. the lecturer, Dr..
HoIston, eudravored to reconcile the
Mosaic account Of the creation OF the
world with the discoveries Of modern
geology. He divided the c!ust Of the
earth, extending to a depth Of 40 600
feet. into three primary parts, protozolc,
secondary aud tertiary, subdlviding each
into two pats, the elder and newe'.-
This n:akts six parts, TO each Of which
he assigns one Mosaic day, during which
periods, each consisting Of tens or scores
Of thousands Of our years, the earth was
gradually prepared for the hah1tation Of
man, who comes upon the earth On the
sixth day, and before God rested from
his creative work. If a layer of one foot
of the eafth's crust--a large allowance
be made in one century, some idea of
the antiquity Of tie globe may be OBJ
tanned. He supposed Moses t o have OBJ
tanned his in<igh: into the process Of Gre
alton by a vision. The fall Of man he
deemed as necessarily ordained to come
to pass, since the existing high pitch Of
intellect, affection and advancement of
the race could not have been attained,
had not sin ente ed into the world. A
numerous array OF discoveries were bro't
TO bear upon the subject, going to give
color to the lecturers views. Amongst
these were prominent two discoveries,
one made by Sir Charles LyelI. on the
Red River, Of Lou siana, of a human
l''p-bone, which could not have been II
the strata where found less than seyentys
five thousand years and another, of
which the lecturer had personal cogni-
zance, made on Jonathau's creek, near
gainesville, Ohio, Of the perfect skeleton
of a woman, under a living rock. It.
was evident this ON was drowned in
the creek when its bed was twenty feet
above its present surface, a period distant
at least ten thousand years. These facts
the lecturer did not consider as in con-
hict with The Bible, which no more I'M
dertakes to teach chronology than any
other natural science.

&C. THE CONCERT for the bene-
fit Of the Mount Vernon Fund given
at the State House on Tuesday night,
was undoubtedly the most magnificent
affair Of the season.. The singing and
playing were unusually good-the pers
formers displaying much taste and skill
ID their execution. The ladies must
have been thoroughly inspired With pat
riotism from the great interest they took
in the affair from first to last. We can
not par:icu|arize where SO many exceIIed,
but>to our taste the fair singer of Com
ing through the Rye" rather took the
palm. Something was said about sup
per down stairs at the close of the en-
tertaiument, but we saw nothing but a
huge bowl Of champagne punch, upon
the contents of which we dined and
suppec. When we tore ourself away.
the young folks were tripping it on the
light fantastic toe, in one of the commit
tee rooms.
