protracted war, would be enough to shake
the faith Of the most hopeful and weaken
the resolution OF the most perseyering
community in the world Notwith.
standing the extraordinary visitations Of
1865 and 1866, the people Of the riparian
parishes commenced this year with
something like anticipation that they
would be able, at least, to overcome the
watery enemy, and to resuscitate their
shattered fortunes. II was scarcely in
the nature Of things to expect another
overflow this year Three successive
foods have rarely, If ever occurred; or,
If they have occurred, the levees were,
at least, partial protection. But these
hopeful calculations have been disap-
pointed. The surging waters precipi-
tated upon US from above have seemed
to be more resistless than ever, and to
pour upon the lowlands even greater
food than the deluges which made the
last two years so memorably calamitous
The levees which, at greater expense,
and with no small expenditure Of energy,
were at last constructed, have proved
almost everywhere. inadequate to bear
the weight of the domineering waters.
At dozen different points from the
Arkansas line to New Orleans, they have
given way, and made passage for the
water, through which it has spread over
almost the whole Of the alluvial country.
So far, we believe, the Red river country
is safe, and, with good season, fair
crop will be made in that part of the
State. But much Of Carroll, and almost
the whole of Tensas Madison and Con-
cordia are under water. 1t is still hoped
that the water may run of from that
section in time to permit the planting Of
ccrn crop and partial crop of cotton.
But even this reliance may fail if the
May and June rise should equal that of
the spring.
