The Flood

NEw ORLEANS, March 4--A Times Dem.
ocrat special says: Black and Tensas riv.
ers and Bayou Macon'are rising rapidly and
fears are entertained that stock scaiiolded
along these streams will be drowned
The loss of stock is now estimated at S50,-
VOV, fences, $l5S,0O0. People living along
these streams cultivate hundreds Of thous.
ands of acres of land. The overflow in Con-
cordia parish extends from the Black to the
Mississippi river, distance of thirty.tive
miles, in Tensas parish ffom the Tensas
river and Bayou Macon to the Mississippi
river distance of thirty
miles, in Franklin parish from
the Tensas west to the 0uachita river, a
distance of ten miles; in Madison parish,
from Bayou MACON to the Mississippi river,
thirty.fve miles; in East Carroll parish,
from bayou Macon to the Mississippi river,
ten miles. In the upper portion Of Frank,
lin parish, west Of the hills of the Tensas
which skirt Bayou Macon, the flood extends
to the Onachita river, a distance of fifteen
miles. The Tensas river since Saturday
has risen five feet, and it is still
on the increase at the rate
OF eleven inches in twenty-four hours. The
water along the Tensss and Bayou Macon
is three feet higher than in 1874 and the un-
precedeRted flow is accounted for by breaks
in the leyee at Milliken's Bend and Good
rich Landing. Rattons which have been
sent up in this sectioir are sufficient to sup
ply the wants Of destitute people for quite
u while unless the flood becomes more dis.
astroas. The people are all in good health
and say that if the water subsidies by the
middle Of May they will make full crop
and they will make half crop If IL gets
down in the early part Of June.
So far the relief committee reported Sl2,-
zoe in cash contributions, besides lumber
and other supplies. They propose at pres
ent to raise $4,000, most of which will be
invested in forage for stock, il the issue Of
government rations is continued. The
Louisiana commissioners have asked the
secretary Of war for 500, 600 more rations

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
I've been thinking that to-day is the ami
versary of Opequan Greek, near Winchester,
and l can assure you its memory brings up
some lively "reminiscences of that fight. l can
recall every incident that came under my OBJ
seryation, and there are many of them. 1t was
a glorious victory, and familiar to you all.
That night, when all was over, we went to
make our cups of coffee; l poured out my last
ration of coffee in my tin cup. With a thud a
rebel bullet dropped into the cup. Upon ex-
animation l found that, while lying on my
belly firing the ball had passed through the
rim of my hat within an inch of my head, and
on through my blanket into my havcrsack, and
lodged III my coffee bag. / prepared my coffee
without any lead in it though-and went to
sleep.
1t is pleasant here in this quiet New England
village TO recall the incidents of the war, and
this is one that comes to mind to-day: After
Lee had made his raid down into Pennsylva-
MIA, our Corps tho Nineteenth) came to Wash
ington in hurry. We got there on Sunday.
l remember how solemn everybody looked as
we marched up the streets on our way to Ar
lington. We passed through some Of the finest
streets, and were obliged TO make frequent
halts, and, of course, we made Decline for the
first marble steps, trying to be high toned, per-
haps, if only for a few minutes.
Presently the door opened, but not to drive us
away; oh, no, but two or three ladies and two
gentlemen came out, with their servants bear
ing trays filed with good things to eat and drink
We soldiers called it good, square meal-too
good for us we thought-and those dear ladies,
God bless them, wiped the dust and sweat
from our faces with their fine white handker-
Chiefs and spoke such words Of kindness to US
as made US think of our dear ones at home,
whom we hadn't seen for two years or more.
The gentlemen assisted rs best they could, but
l noticed they were nervous and i'll at ease;
still they were very kind. We had come all
the way from New Orleans to protect their
homes. wonder if we old crippled vets were
to go back now and sit on those same steps, if
the same dear hands would wipe our dusty faces
and bring out the best in the house to feed us !?
