New ORLEANS, March 16.-The river here
remains stationary, eight inches below high
water of 1874, while at Vicksburg il is thirty
eight inches above. Hope is entertained
here that the heavy rise at Vicksburg since
Saturday will be dissipated by the crevasses
below that point, and by the heavy current
which set in from the Mississippi up the
mouth Of Red river and through the Atcha-
filaya, relieving in measure all points be-
low the mouth OF X ID river. Vigilance and
hard work has so far successfully protected
the section below Baton Rouge from ere vases.
There are three breaks in the Hard Times
levee, twenty miles above st. Joseph, in Ten
sss parish, on the right bank of the river.
The water from these breaks floods all the
country for many miles back OF the Misss-
sippi river, and has created great disaster
to the farming interests OF that section.
Some of the people in the region back of
Greenville have left their homes, but COM
paraIively few homes on the bank OF the
Mississippi river have been deserted. Ad-
ditional rations have been forwarded to the
sufferers.

VICKsBURG, March l6.-A heavy rain and

Appeals are made for more boats, and
more will be dispatched. The country

that place will be entirely submerged. The

sippi river, the undersigned were appointed
a committee to consider the same, aud rep
resent the facts to you, with the hope that
you would present the matter before Con-
gress for an appropriation to alleviate the
destitution and want Of this people. Never
in the memory OF the Oldest Inhabitsnt has
this rich land been su ject TO such a con-
tiDued and calanhitous inuDdatiOn. 1t is alb
solutely appalling. The country is full of
INDECENT labor, mostly colored, who are new
depe Udant upon either private or public
charity for the means Of subsistence Every
thing is oveIi1wed; there II scarcely dry
spot in this county upon which stock can be
PLACED, and much of il has been drowned,
and that which Is left will inevitably starve
Tor the want of food. The high water will
not likely subside in time to make a crop Of
corn or cotton. The bad crop of last year
leaves the planter in 70 condition to support
labor (if he were disposed TO do so) from
which he can hope to gain 10 remuu, ration.
The merchant will advance no supplies to
the planter or laborer on credit under the
desperate condition of affairs. Under such
circumstances, with everything oveI flowed,
places and houses and seek shelter and
homes with those unable 10 feed them, il is
absolutely necessary that aid should be re-
ceived, and that once, from some source
able TO supply it. We address you, th,re-
fore, representing the true state Of facts, with
the hope that you will at once place the mat
ter before Congress in the proper form, for
aid from that body.
