THE BONNET CARRE OREVAssE
ARREST OF MIR. PORCHE
DESTRUCTION AND DESOLATION

The sheriff of st. John the Baptist parish
reports to the Governor that the Bonnet
Carre levee was cut by the federal forces of
Bonnet Care camp, in 1863, and that almost
every year since that time it has been cut
by Mr. Edward Porche, owner of the planta-
ton where the crevasse occurred.
Mr.. Porehe has been arrested for cutting
the levee, and has given bonds in the sum
OF one thousand dollars to appear before the
district court in October next
The st. John the Baptist Pioneer of the
sixth says:
The crevasse at Bonnet Carre is still run
ming in all its mad fury, and even ali efforts
TO stop the widening of the break have
proved Truitless, and the work has been
abandoned, and the unclaimed waters OF
the Mississippi go tearing over the beauti-
fdl fields, carrying destruction aud desola-
ton with them. From point near the
break the scene is truly heart-rending, and
would move with pity any but a man de-
void of human feeling. 'Tis true a little
care and watchfulness would have pre-
vented all this ruin, but when we view the
terrible retribution, the remembrance of
their error is drowned in the milk of human
kindness. Where once stood those neat
little cottages, the happy homes Of many of
our most honest and industrious citizens,
now rush the fierce and angry waves, dash
ing to pieces the result of years of toll, up
roofing the very trees which once sur
rounded them.
Above and below, as far as the eye can
reach, the fields SO lately covered with a
wealth OF sugar cane, are covered with a
vast sheet of water, the cabins deserted,
while far beyond an occasional sugar-house
lifts its head above the SUI face Most of
the planters for some distance have left
their houses and found shelter wi Ii some
of their more favored neighbors. The
water has already reached some of the low
lands in the rear of Joseph L. Bourgeois
plantation, at the upper line of this parish,
and we are informed that it is some distance
below Kennerville. Many of the planters
in the upper portion Of the parish have put
up draining machines in order to save their
crops. The only hope we have is a CON
tinued fall of the river, and the prospect
for the same is quite favorable at present.
but we hope that the severe lesson we are
now receiving will not soon be forgotten by
the people OF this parish.

WOODHULL, CLAFLIN & co.
Rich DEVELOPMENTS by Amdavi,.


New YORK, May "a morning paper has
the following: A curious case came up yes
terday afternoon, before Justice Ledwith, in
the Essex county Police Court. 1t was an
application fer the issue of warrant for
the arrest of James III. Blood, alias DR. j.
III. Harvey, the Go" of the firm of Wood
hull g. Clatlin. The application was made
by Annie Clafiin, mother of Mrs. Woodruff.
Mrs. Clatiin says in her affidavit that Blood,
otherwise known as DR.. j. II. Harvey occu-
pies the same bed with her daughter
Victoria, and that the said Blood has
been in her family for the last six
years; that since his entrance into her fam
lily he has made every effort to corrupt and
has corrupted not only her daughter Vic
tOria, but through his Vaccinations and
intrigues have excited her daughter Ten
nessee, and entirely weaned them from de-
ponent; and deponent says that during the
time she resided in said house she has often
heard said Blood insist that her daughter
Tennessee should make efforts to secure
the attendance of different married gentle
men, in order that said Blood and said Vic
toria and Tennessee might combipedly
make money out of such persons; and de-
ponent says that she has known such mar
ried men who have been taken in and black
mailed at said house. She has ofteR heard
Blood. who is the receiver of all
moneys that came into possession OF
the firm of Woodruff, Clahin Il
Co., say that no books of any account have
been kept by said firm until very recently,
and that in case any trouble should arise
between dealers with said firm and them
selves, great trouble would come upon
said firm, and that Broad street would be
too hot for them. She further says she be-
lieves Blood is endeavoring to ruin her
daughters, especially Tennessee, and that
as he has threatened her life, she does not
feel safe from Blood, and prays he may be
arrested and dealt with according to law.
The affidavit is supported by others. and
signed by Mr.. and Mrs. Spar, daughter and
son-in-law of Mrs. Clafin.
Mrs. Woodruff Indignantly denies these
assertions, and says it is merely an attempt
to levy blackmail Her mother is old and
weak minded, and has been induced by
some means TO make the affidavit, which is
a black and infamous lie.

Condemned.
PARIS, May S.-All continues to 90 on
well. Moulin Saguet and Hautes Bruyeres
have received reinforcements. Our cavalry
has made a successful reconnaissance near
d'1ssy.
An attack made by the Versaillists, near
LIE Vallois, was successfully repulsed.
Negotiations for an armistice of twenty
five days are still progressing.
NEW YORK, May 8.-A special says Gen.
eral Rossels mother is Scotchwornan. At
| the beginning of the war the general lived
at Bourges, and coming to Paris demanded
active service, but being discouraged
thought of journalism. The editor of the
Temps persuaded him to stay in the army
IL is thought that France has at last found
in him a true soldier.
Paris special says: II have just seen
national guard of the seventy ninth batta-
lion, wounded in the late fight at Fort Issy.
He states he was surprised by the Versailles
commander, who refused quarter. Ny in
tormant received twenty-five wounds, laid
two hours and crawled to the outposts."
|. Funerals in the quarter des Gobelins are
innumerable. The Avenue d'Italie is
thronged with hearses.
A great meeting of men over fighting
years took place in the Place Bastille. Five
thousand were present, and marched to the
Louvre and demanded arms. They say
they want to show the young men how to,
fight. Arms were promised them.
Prisoners taken are returned if they re-
fuse to fight for the commune, the insur-
gents being unable to feed useless mouths.
The federals are greatly exasperated over
the reports that the Versaillists kill the
wounded on the field of battle.
PARIS, May 7, Evening Yesterday eve
ming the Versaillists reconnoitered. Their
ranks were decimated by the mitrailleuses
of the communists, and they were routeda
PARIS, May 8, evening, via London, May
9, A. M.-General Dennat has been APP

Farm stock of all kinds is almost uni

hay crop was short last season, but of ex-
cellent quality. The corn crop was very
large, and was fed literally, and better care
than usual yas bestowed upon farm ami
mails. This Improved condition is attrib-
uted to abundant feed, more humane treat
