CREyAssEs Houma Civic Guard, Of the 9Th says:
We learn that the whole Of Bayou Blue settlement, is
under water, in consequence Of crevasse that took
place on bayou Lafourche at about eleven miles below
Thibodaug, few weeks ago. The extent OF the dam
age is yet asceraned but from whatwe have been
able to gather fear it will be very serious and de
structiye
On Thursday the Marengo Ievee gave way letting in
plantations in the co. Friday night, the levee around
the 20 also gave way letting thewhole body Of water
into lake Goneorda filing up and causing some dam
age several plantations upon the borders of it, The
the mail stage has notrun since Friday.
The lake has fallen two inches, since Wednesday
evening From what we can learn we apprehend that
the devastation from the crevasse Is not to the extent
imagined by contemporaries. Its certain that the
damage cannot extend beyond the present area Of the
food while the damage toseeftan localities is not SC
great as supposed and represented while the booming
waters we're At their height Goneordia Int. 7tb.
