than at any time during the winter.
Reports reach us that the levee near
Adsmsburg has given way, and that the
water is over many large plantations in
that region. Below the city it is fright
fut. Al New Gascony houses are stand
ing in water several feet deep. DIR. |
Brunson's crop Of cotton is almost en-
lirely covered with water. We hear also |
of several other plantations being over
flowed. The railroad few miles below |
town has been washed up, and general |
fear last week pervaded among our peo- |

ing rapidly, and it is thought that the
great danger is over. 1t is estimated
that about six thousand acres Of cotton |
is lost 0y the water"
