The Submerged Cotton Land.

The Submerged Cotton Land,
New York Horald.l
This gentleman, Colonel Edward
Richardson, of New Orleans, is to
Southern agriculture what Vanderbilt
is to the Northern railroads. He is
the owner of over twenty plantations,
both sugar and cotton, and of several
mills and other industries. He is,
moreover, the wealthiest man in the
South.
THE unexpected rise" he said, "of
four inches day in this section is due
to the backing up of waters by the
DISCHARGE Of the Yazoo food just
above Vicksburg. The latter came
through the Yazoo delta after last
Mondays and Tuesdays rains, like a
tidal wave, sweeping everything before
it. AT Memphis and below the Mis-
sissippi is already falling, and as soon
as the swell goes down this will con-
tinue lower down the river, but its
effects viii yet add to the danger on
the lower river, whore the situation is
destined to become still more serious
than at present. The food is unprece-
dented. That Of 1874 cannot compare
with it"
He regards the cotton crop of the
bottom lands lost, with the exccp
ton Of about 100000 bales, which
will be the maximum that can be
planted in the upper counties Of
Mississippi. he had himself total
of $4,000 acres under cultivation in
his several plantations, and Of these
10000 acres are already under water,
the stock ola portion being destroyed.
Three thousand bales will, he thinks,
be the maximum Of the crop he can
produce. He has taken measures to
secure his horses and mules, which he
will send to 81. Louis and sell. As
to cattle, pigs and such stock, most Of
them have necessarily persisted. The
distress and sufferings entailed, he
said, we're pitiAble to contemplate.
As yet it had not begun to be fully
realized. Thousands Of people will
have to be fed and the planters
are destitute of means and with
out credit. Coming, as the food
did, at season when the plantations
had all been mortgaged for advances
made upon the expected crops, it is
destined TO have a very serious effect
upon the financial world. The crop
is substantially gone; not only this,
but the planters stock is gone, aud
their capacity to produce is gone. The
merchants who have advanced money
will find themselves seriously crippled.
One English house in New Orleans he
knew had advanced money on the
prospective crops Of over seventy
plantations, and what the end would
