BONNET CARRIE CREvASSE.
How Il Looks and How Occurred.

The following in regard to the
Bonnet Care Crevasse is from the
New Orleans Times of Sunday, and
will be read with interest :
The subject of the Bonnet Care
Jravasse is now almost q household
word. Yet after all the very lucid
and lengthy information upon the
subject, no true conception can be
formed of the nature of the calamity
and the appearance of the locality.
Feeling a desire to view in proprid
persoae, what we heard so much
about, we left by the steamer Wild
Wagner on Thursday, bound, with
quite a party Of excusionist, for the
great break. Nineteen miles from
the city, at Fairview Plantation,
was discovered the first intimatlon
that the Father of Waters had brok-

the water element, extending beyond
the reach of the eyeln one direction,
andswallowed by the wood in another
The distance OF this second stream
from the river varied as we prog
ressed, at times three-fourths of a
mile distant, and again but a few
yards, When within about five
miles of the crevasse we came upon
what was apparently a valuable
plantation, but now covered by wa
ter to the depth of ten feet sugar
house, negro quarters, dwelling
house, all standing in the midst Of
the wild water, presented a desolate
picture saddening to behold. AS
we advanced the wilderness of wa
tiers seemed to spread, until round
ing a bend in the river, the Mighty
rush and roar was before US in all
its grandeur. Quickly landing,
tour Of observation soon convinced
us that the sight presented must be

Bonnet Care, abandoned asit Ia the

when the people Wilt again be per.
mittcd to return to their homes is a
matter only Of conjecture, for even
after the water hail have ceased TO
flow from the river, the food will re-
quire many days to subside. In
some places the water is twelve feet
deep, reaching beyond the second
story of many houses. We were in
formed by a gentleman residing near
the flooded section, that when the
unfortunate cooper discovered the
water in the river rising to the level
Of his roadway in the gap through
the levee, he placed a board across
it to bar old Niche Sepe out. When
the board was no longer useful, and
the water continued To rise, several
of the inhabitants hit upon the hap
pyIexpedient Of barricading the crew
asse with an old fatboat, butli ike the
formal people of ottsville, they dis
puted about the manner Of placing
it while thus engaged, the object OF
their solicitude was saptured by the
raging element, and swept through
the break like the blinded lightning;
what was done after that was just
what has been done, and the result
is Just what we know. Had the
maker of barrels but remembered
the little story about tho acorns aud
oaks, the citizens Of BonNet Carrie
might still be in the possession Of
their once happy homes, and the
crevasse not a nile days sensation.

SINGULAR TELEGRAPHIo ACHIEVE
MENT.-Within week or two singular
Geographic achievement is said to have
occurred. A gentleman suddenly be-
came i'll of pneumonia, in Washington.
His physician, a gentleman of great at
tainments and fame, resided in New
York, and he was anxious that this ply
stefan should be consulted about his case.
A telegraph wire was by his direction
taken into his room, and the New York
doctor being summoned to the telegraph
Office there, the Washington physician
attending the patient, informed him OF
the state of the case, and even enabled
him to feel his patients pulse by causing
the wire to vibrate as the pulse did. The
case being thus thoroughly diagnosed in
New York, the necessary prescriptions
we're sent thence to Washington. The
attack though violent. soon yielded t
the treatment. and the patient is now Q
cheerful convalescent. This is the frs
case of the kind we have ever heard of
1t is quite an interesting feat of tele
graphy.
