Later Intelligence from above-Red River
urcs to-day, etc. @-a yen
The weather yesterday was cloudy, with heavy
shower Of rain in the afternoon. Business was dull
on the levee, and many Of the lower river boatmen
were talking of laying up if freight did not soon be-
come more plentiful. The river was still slowly ris
ing.
The break in the levee on Col. Whites plantation
above Vicksburg is said to be fifty yards wide and in
creasing rapidly in width.
The Madison Journal published at Richmond in
this state) Of the 25th ult. says:
We have conversed With many intelligent planters
and all agree that the serious and earnest attention
planters Of the two parishes should be energetic
ally directed to the preservation Of the country from
threatened overflow.

ult, and reports that there were no boats at that
port.
The steamer A. 7. Lacey, came over to the wharf
on Thursday evening, looking as bright and pearly
as when she first came ont Of her builders' hands.

There are several bad crevasses reported in Arkan-
sas, which are filing mp the Bayou Macon swamp
| very rapidly. Back Of Providence, the water in
Bayou Macon ia already within two feet Of the high
est point of last year. and is rising. This water with
that from Whites crevasse above vicksbug, and
which is now pouring into the Roundaway at the
basin very rapidly, will unquestionably put the Ten
up very high and sorey press upon the back part
of Concordia parish. The levees along the Tensas
and Black rivers should be looked to Immediately,
and put in condition to resist at least foot more
water than we had last year. ,-
