THE CREvAssE,-Whilst Congress is
exhausting its efforts to keep Louisiana
in bondage, and Mr.. Warmoth intent on
giving control of her political affairs to
the negroes, the sad consequences OF
disorganized industry and impaired pub
lie credit appears in the inability of the
people to preserve the levees. and SO to
secure the results of the planters care
and outlay. The crevasses reported sp-
paren,ly commence at Profits Island, a
few miles from Baton Rouge, and threat
ems the coast as far as Bayou Plaque
mine.
IF the crevasse water cannot be vented
by this bayou, then the whole coast down
to Lafourche will be submerged. Such
are the fears expressed by competent
engineers and by practical men. The
failure to close the crevasse involves the
loss of the crop in the richest sugar and
cotton lands 10 Louisiana. In the mean
time some of the public contractors are
absent. come have no hands on the work,
and on others, the hands are working re-

Hon. Geo R Clayton, Judge OF the
Special Court OF this Judicial district. de-
livered bis opinion on last Wednesday,
relative to The validity of contracts made
during the war and in consideration Of
Confederate money. The decision was
rendered on a bill which had been filed
to enforce specific performance Of
contract which had been entered into du,
ring the war. the defendant in the cause

on an illegal consideration, TO wit /;

favor of the plaintiff, assuming that the
late war was civil war. that as beliger>
ent rights had been accorded the Con-
federate government, it had the power
to use all the means at its command to
carry on war. one of which was the issu-
ance of script or evidence Of Indebtedness
to pay its troops, purchase clothing, mu>
niions of war, &c. We have not the
time or space to more than briefly allude
to the points involved 10 this decision
They were all discussed in an able man
ner.
The last, and we think the strongest
position taken by Judge Clayto was
that in which the illegallity OF the issu-
ance of Confederate script was admitted
for the sake of argument, but in which
he contended that The illegal act Of their
issuance, as decided by the Supreme
Court of the United States. would only
affect contracts Immediately growing out
of, or connected with the illegal act
that this principle was fully established
at the case before the Court was in nc
way or manner connected with or tainted
by the illegal act Of their issuance; thai
