Since the occurrence of the destructive
crevasse ut Hickey's plantation, about foul
miles above this town, on the morning OF
the 10th inst, the river has fallen about 3
feet at this point. But the danger which
disappears on our front has only changed its
direction, for it reappears on our rear in a
ruinous rise in the overlooked district.
Those of the sufferers from the overflow
who had the means for escape have aban-
doned their homes, and sought refuge in this
town. But the greater and most destitute
portion of them remain behind, and are the
victims of peril and privation. Deprived of
all intercourse with their more fortunate
neighbors, their isolated situation should
make them an object of solictude in every
generous mind.-Plaquemine Republican, 25th

From TenAas Parish.

The ST. Joseph Journal, of the 18th, says
''Since our last there has been no change in
the stage OF the river and back-water in this
parish. Most of the planters have taken
their stock into the hills of Mississippi, op-
posite here. Those plantations which are
not overlooked by the back water have suf-
fered SO much from steepage water from the
river that all plantation work is suspended.
Really, it seems that those places which
have been overlooked will suffer the less
damage, as the grass is springing up and
choking the corn and cotton already planted
on the river, and it is impossible tor any
blowing to be done on account of the seep-
age water springing up in the burrows be-
hind the plows; whereas, in the overlooked
places, the land will at least be clear of
weeds and grass when the planting begins

HOW ASSESSMENTS WERE REbU. ED

To the Editors of the N. O. Bulletin:
Coming down in the cars yesterday morn
ing the following conversation took place
between two prominent gentlemen Of this
city:
1--WE have suffered terribly since the war
taxation has been of such a character as to
amount to confiscation. Assessments OF
property have been largely beyond It's actual
value; vampires in human shane have
been sucking the very life blood of our
people.
- have piece Of property corresponding
IN appearance with the building on the lot
adjoining mine both buildings erected by
the same builder, at the same cost-lots of
equal size.
:" My friend was assessed at $4,000 and
mine at $4,000 The assessor might as
well have entered my store and robbed me
OF the amount thus taken from me- under
the form of law. How was this difference
IN assessment brought about"
You see, the assessor gets 5 per cent.
on the general tax, and it is to his interest
to value property at high rate: but in this
case, the properties being exactly the same,
the fraud is apparent. Asking my friend
why ms assessment was SO much less than
mine, he Informed me that it was done by
paying the assessor a bonus. l failed to
bride and thus am the sufferer. But not
wlthstanding the wrongs we have sustained
by robbery and floods, l believe a bright
future awaits our city and State. The
Northern people are awakened to a sense of
our wrongs. and the Republican party. to
save itself, must come to our rescue. In
three or four years at the farthest, perhaps
sooner, the change will come. CAPITAL.

Will be built; Cnba will be free, and prop

70 leave the cars, could hear no more"
