The CHM AND ROBERTSON CREvAssE.-
It is with deep regret we are compelled
to announce the breaking Of the stupen
dous levee which closed the crevasse
upon the plantation above named. About
4 o'clock, Tuesday morning, the alarm
was given by the men on watch, that the
river had forced its way through the en-
bankment, andsso violent was the force
of the current, that all efforts to close
it proved unavailing. The water is now
pouring through in torrents, gradually,
but surely, washing away all the labor
of months past. The impression, is pre-
valent, with the workmen, that the levee
was cut by some person, but upon whom
to fasten the diabolical act, go far, is IN
known. In common with our fellow-citi.
Gems we deeply deplore this great calami-
ty, as many poor families in the e q will
be compelled to fee from their homes,
already greatly impoverished BY the war
and the crevasses Of former years. The
closing of Bayou Plaquemine will relieve
US of much of the crevasse water, and
may prevent the inundation Of the rear
of the river plantations, which We believe
is the general impression, nevertheless
the suffering will be heavy. So soon as
the spring rise of the river subsidies,
work should be renewed upon those le-
wees, with a force sufficiently large to en-
sure their completion and settling before
the next rise tests their strength.

The PEACE PRocLAnAr1os.--At length

The PEACH PRocLAnArIox.--At length
we begin to see the end of the troubles
affecting our country. Whatever may
be said and done to the contrary by the
Radicals at the North, the President has
dealt them q blow from which they can
not recover. With the thousands, North
and South, we join in congratulations Of
joy at the bold and determined act Of
ANDREW JOHNSON. For bold it is in the
very teeth of those "di%sunionists" who
from fear of loosing power, kept assun.
der the parts Of this great Union, which
should have been reunited the moment
the last Confederate army surrendered to
the National forces. A brighter, happier,
and we trust q nor prosperous future
awaits the destiny Of our great Republic.
With the removal of the military-the
restoration Of the Habeas Corpus,--the
recognition Of State authority within.
their respective limits-the admission Of
the Southern Representatives, and aboli-
ton Of that detestable humbug the Freed
mems Bureau, there will be no cause to
hinder our onward progress. President
JOHNSON fully understands the position
he occupies and is determined without
fear or favor to show that his whole
thought and interest are for the good of
the country His bold and manly actions
have won for him the admiration of the
American people despite the lies and
threats Of those who prefer to ruin if
they cannot rule. The cowardly hosts
Of SUMNER and STEVENS must now quail
before the threatening attitude Of the Pre-
sident when they hear the loud hossanas
of rejoicing sent up North and South,
by a greatful people who will support
him in. all acts which tend to restore
peace and harmony to q distracted coun-
try. Let the Peace Proclamation be in
deed q proclamation of peace, and with
its appearance let the last feeling Of
hatred to the North be buried foreve r
in oblivion. From this time we begin a
new era which We hope lever to see sui
lied BY angry r~ecrimiuations, and the
geographical distinctions of our common
country be forever obliterated. -

A HARD Hrr.-Tbe report of the Grand
Jury for the city Of New Orleans, recent
~ made, concludes with some severe
structures upon Gov. WELLS and Coroner
YE1sER in regard to the manner Of con-
Quoting the inquest upon the, late ]. F.
GRuBER. The report says: ~
In relation to q very painful tragedy
which occurred in this city on the 9th
ult., the Grand Jury has been compelled
to summons before them the coroner of
this parish, Dr.. Yeiser, whose testimony
directly implicated the highest executive
officer, of the State, Gov. Wells, ia a
very gave interference with one of the
most solemn proceedings known to the
law, that of an inquest into the cause Of
death Of . citizen, who bad been killed
under circumstances which give too much
reason to believe that it was the res ult
Of deliberate conspiracy to murder. The
conduct of both the Governor and the
Coroner in :his matter is highly repre-
hensible, and the Grand Jury present it
to the consideration Of the honorable
Court for such action a. is demanded by
law and public Justice.
This is certainly q severe blow to those
gentlemen, and If our surmise be correct.
there is q squirting at impeachment or
some other punishment. II these grave
accusations can be sustained by showing
conclusively that those officers acted in
a manner INV arranted BY law and their
high positions, let the penalty be tenfoId
more than if committed BY parties of an
humber capacity. -

IT is related of Lindsey, the Medina muir.
dsrsr BY an old olassmats, that at the early age Of
fourteen he had prepared himself to enter college,
but one day, while wrestling with bis schoolmatss,
he hurt his spine, and was laid on sick bed for
long time. When he recovered, 1t was found that
he had forgotten every word he had learned, and
that he had to commence again at his A, b, C's,
and learn everything over again By dint of hard
study, he again fitted himself for college, and in
due time graduated, but there was always some.
thing lacking after bis accident. He attemptsdto
follow the pursuit Of a clergyman, but was not
fitted for the calling and gave II up almost entirely.
What pity that his spine was not so badly injured
that he would never have had child to murder.
