following from the Baton Kouse Ga
l'zette Of Tuesday:
It is our painful province to name
an unusal number Of devastating
crevasses, that have recently occurred
in this parish, the largest of which
is on the plantation of Mrs. II. L.
Vaughan, of Bayou Goula. nearly
ono hundred feet vide :sd eight to
nine feet deep. Opinions differ whcth,
err it can be closed or not before the
water of ,tie river reccdes into it's
channel. - -.
F or some time the lcvVs OH the
west side Of the bayou, from the mouth
of the Crosse Tete to Grand river,
haye been overaowed, thus carrying
off an immense body of water, filling
the swamPs and backing upon many
valuable plantations and the east
side leyee has been daily threatened
with. spbpsrsion, but hitherto has
withstood the entertainments Of the
watery efend. -

At an early bour this morning. the

the citizens. After this an interview
was had with. Gen Lowell, at the city
hall; after the preliminaries of an in
production, the Federal officer de-
manded a surrender Of the city, IN
reply to this, Gen. Lowell. said that HE
WOULD not, but would remove the.
troops. etc, and leave the city in the
hands Of the. civil authorities. The
interview being ended, the Federal
officer asked that an. escort be sent
to see him safe on his boat, for SONG
three thousand persons hand assem-
bled in TIE street about the hall with
the determination Of killing him;
the request was granted, and Gen.
Lovsll's brotherescorted him.
All the cotton. tobacco, and gun
carriages which were being made at

destruction, remarking tina. the man

THE Atlanta Confederacy OF the 18th
says: t,.
This morning we give it as GU,
apinion, from all the Information we
can obtain. that the Federals inf oc-
cupyins Huntsville w4ne co-opera-
ting with the bridgesburning engine
stsalers. They advanced from Hunts
vile, anticipating the success Of the
bridge-burners, and took the town
Of Stevenson. and even came to a
bridge some miles this, side of there.
and with a heavy cannon shot away
the midd!!a. pillar. to prevent our
coming upon thep at. Huntsville.
We learn. further, that they were
attacked in the rear by some Confed-
crate cavalry. AND. in skirmish,
some sixty Ianke es. were. killed.
Upon this Intelligence. and the fur
ther news of the failure Of their men
to burn the State Road bridges, they
hastilly evacuated Stevenson. and
perhaps have LET, Huntsville by
this time.

says. ~
We have Information Of the move
men, Of Confederate troops, which
assures us that the raid upon Hunts
.rille will turn out to be-a very ex-
pensive. Yankee luxury. The Yanks
who are engaged in that expedition
win never see dear mothers again
except. through the grace nd permits

Onf planters are now about finish
ing planting corn, and we would
Suggest to them the great necessity
of planting few more acres Of corn
instead of cotton. The wheat crop
in Texas will be = very short enc,
caused by the cold weather in March
Which has killed..a, barge portion of
the wheat. The breaking of the
leyees on the Mississippi river has
Overlooked a portion Of: the land on
the river and bayous. AS the river
is now rising, it is impossible to tell
the extent Of the damage to, the corn
on rich bottom lands 1t therefore,
stands every planter in hand who is
IN. no danger from high water, to
plant more corn.-Monroe Register.

The residence of Mr.. Harrison Hagerman, in

THE ELECTIONS
"THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT OF THE PEo-
PLhv

ED-We give, as we supposed we would be
able 10 do, the probable results of the eiectiobs
held on Tuesday in New York, New Jersey, Mas
sachusetts, DC. 1t will be seen that tie march
of conservatism is onward-that radicalism is on
the wane-black Republicanism on its last legs.
"The tober second thought of the people" has
come at last, and is again placing the reins Of
government in the hands of the Democratic party,
the Shriekers having been "weighed in the bal
ance aud found wantipg" let the returns SO far
as we have them, speak for themselves:
NEW YURk.
Actual returns from twenty-five counties and
the city of New York give Seymour q majority
of SO GOO. The twenty-nine counties to hear
from will reduce the above to $500. 1t is so es-
timated by the Albany Argus. The Albany
Joransl comedies the election of Seymour.
The Congressional delegation will stand 1s or
10 Democrats to IL or Is Republieans-a Demo-
cratic gain OF or 0 msmbers.
The Democrats, it is more than probable, will
have ms nity on joiut ballot in the Legislature,
aud thus secure the election of a U. s. Senator
in nplaoe Of Preston King, Radical Republican.
NEW JERSEY.
Parker, Dem., is elected Governor of New
Jersey BY 10000 majority, Democratic gain OF
Il, 000 over last Governors vote.
The Democrats Lave gained one member of
Congress, have a majority on join. ballot in the
Legislature aad will consequently have the U.
S. Senator to be elected.
DELAWARE.
This State still holds to the Republican faith
as is evidenced by the reelection OF Fisher to
Congress By msi'rity OF abont 100.
MASSACHUSETTS.
This State W hich once voted herself out of the
Union, also still joined to her idols. She has
proved thoroughly Radical, re-eecting Andrews,
Governor and IA full delegation to Congress-
This is, however, no Democratic loss.
WISCONSIN,.
The returns from this State are very ineagre,
but denote that the State has been hotly contes
ted by both parties.
MISSOURI.
Returns only from st. Lous-but the indica-
tions in favor of the Radical Republicans.
ILLINOIS.
Returns thus far Indicate the election of six
Democrats And five Republican to. Congress with
two districts doubtful.
MICHIGAN.
Scattering returns indicate that the State has
gone Republican by majority not less than 8, ,OO0
KENTUCKY.
Geo. NJ. Geatman has been elected to Congress to
fll the vacancy caused by the resignation Of j.

of which he refused.
The opening commepcnd by Mr.. Biddle preser-

the history of bis arrest and detention. In this he
states that several months alter be was arre sted,
he wrote to Secretary Gamer " no denied that
he was arrested by his authority and taken to
Fort Lafayette, and thence to Boston.
The Judge proceed ID also to say, that though
he was originally arrested on warrant issued by
q United States commissioner, yet he was dis.
charged from that warrant, and there did not
appear to be any Subsequent reason for holding
him beyond a telegrspbic dispatch from Washing

the other circumstances OF the case, connected
with the fact that The Secretary of Var utterly
denied having causei the arrest, led the e0aEt TO-
order that writ OF hateHs 90 pus issue, returna.
