DISTRESS AND Rum AT THE SoUTH-The
following terrible picture Of distress and
ruin appears in the Planters Banner, of
Franklin, La, and is fully corroborated by
all the papers of that section:
''Few can realize how terrible is the ca.
lamity of the overflow now soouraging the
inhabitants of the lower Mississippi. By
these invading waters multitudes are reduc-
ed to want and almost starvation. After
five years of hardships, including four
years of war, in which they were barely
able to live, when they have no money,
and no means TO pay their way among
strangers, and many of them have to leave
their homes and lose their last means of
support. In their distress, and almost des-
pair, who can be found to help them p
Their neighbors are ruined, the country is
ruined, there is no money, no credit, but
little bread, and no hope of checking the
mad career of the merciless waters. Could
we but behold the hundreds of families
now seeking safety by flying from their
homes, the waters rolling over their fields
and crops, and entering their very dwell
lings, we would see distress such as was
seldom seen on a battlefield. or in hospit-
ais, even during the war. From appearan-
ces it looks as though the Mississippi
coast will have to be abandoned on account
of the utter inability of the planters and
the State to keep up the levees.
