The Overlooking Mississippi

BAYOU SARA, La, March 10
The Point Coupee crevasse has not
affected the stand of the water here
yet, although there is fearful mass
of water escaping from the river at
that point. The levee is still CIV
ing way rapidly, as it is all green
earth, and crumbles as fast as wa
ter pushes against it. The gap is
now about one thousand feet wide.
and the water as it goes through is
about ten feet deep, but is rapidly
digging deeper, spreading the water
far and wide over the country, and
will overflow a part OF this parish
and all of West Baton Rouge, and
portions of Assumption, lbervllle,
St. Mary. Iberia, ard Terrebone,
the richest sugar distric in Louis
lana. The False River and Gros-
settle country will soon be inunda-
ted. and the loss of property and
suffering Of the people will be terri
BILE. Major II, G. Brown, State
Engineer, says it is useless to at
tempt to stop the crevasse. The
people Of Bayou Sara are making
noble fight against the flood. All
the stores are closed, and every
man is at work upon II e levees
which project the place, while the
draining-machinc is working against
a fearful pressure.
MEMPHIS, March 10.-Passen-
gers from below report break In
the levee eleven and a halt miles
above Friar's Point, on the Missis
sippi. The break occurred yester-
day, and although Friar's Poin
will be overlooked from the break
the town will not suffer from the
river rushing through 1t.

proportions. nundating ali that

Captain Richard Slnnotf, Jast
arrived from Rrd river, eporls 200
families below Alexandria, living
on raj s and in deplorable condl-
ton. He thinks the State should
send them rations at once, or shat
some private provision should be
made TO relieve their great misery.
Tie leeves along the New Or
leans city front are Inspected daily,
we'll guarded, the weak points
strengthened, and every precauilon
taken to prevent cIcvasse. The
same precautions are taken all along
the line from Baton Rouge to the
Gulf.
New ORLEANT, March 10 The
euage at the head of Canal street
shows the river TO be one foot be-
low the high wafer OF 1874. The
tall is attributed 10 the Point Cou-

of March 10.
The we'll known firms of B. f. Bor-
den Il Bro. and Borden & Bros,

hereafter, be known as the firm oil

New Market Depot and are erecting q

The charter for railroad through a
portion of Warren, shenandoah, Rock
lngham, Augusta counties, Va. &c. by
way Of North River Gap, to West Vir.
giuia, has passed both houses of the
Legislature of Virginia, making New
Market, Va. point. A railroad
through that section Of country would
greatly aid in developing the resources
OF the country in almost every conceiN'
able respect. AS far as our information
extends, people generally rejoice at the
prospect, and we feel satisfied, they
will give 1t all reasonable encourage
ment, if the enterprise is once properly
inaugurdted. Let there be a unanlmily
of sentiment, and a disposition 20 ex'
tend tangible encouragement as well,
Let the spirit Of greed be suppressed
aud au honest, honorable desire for tie
general good be cultivated.

The same dodge was tired when
