The upper Red River packet Cricket, arrived
from Fulton on Saturday with small load OF luln-
Der, The Cricket left Fulton last Wednesday,
where the last rise had effected the river only
about foot and when she left it was rising very
slowly We are still of the opinion that this rise
viii hardly effect the river at this point. The
Cricket has been above the raft about two months
ana of course has had an excellent opportunity OF
J seeing the destruction caused by the late heavy
rise. Her officers give really deplorable account
\ of the state of many of the plantations above the
! raft. Where they have not been washed too bad
and the fences not beyond repair, signs of putting
! in another crop can be seen. On many of the
plantations no attempt of the kind will be made.
The raft filled up nearly two miles the last rise
