I'VE LANDRY CREvAssE.-Wc visited
the Landry crevasse Monday evening
ana found the work Of cl,siug it pro-
crossing satisfactorily under the slir.c
sion of Messrs. Lezin Leblanc. Ben Gill;
Son and w. Z. Bateman. The rate of
progress is necessarily slow. us the water
is almost twelve feet deep aud the cur
rent very strong. Up to yesterday eve
ring the work all held firmly, but last
hight Il small portion of it gave way,
ihere is difference Of opinion as to
whether this was caused ny the action of
tie ce'rent alone or the passage of drift
logs through the break The accident
renders it necessary to make Il slight
de'o"r with the work and will pro,ony
the task day or two. tut it is hoped the
damage will be only temporary aud that
the break will be etf.ctuallv closed in
three on tosr Gays. This morning work
was begun at the upper side of the gap
uhdtr the supervision OF Gen JOS L.
Brent, aud rs the water there is very
shallow the construction oc eribwor.,
will proceed very rapidly. Care viii be
taken, We presume, not 10 push the mp
per crilwork so far out that tue junction
with the lower work will haye to be
.ua.le i'll deep waicr,

nations and special elections will lie
held to fill the vacancies. Resignation
appears to be :. predominant virtue with
city legislators just now. Have they
been so much exercised 10y the reports
of frugal fare and high prices in the
rural capital that they fear their salaries
will not be sufficient to pay their board
1t isn't the close proximity of the

OUR OVFRpLOWED SECTION.

w ~ ~ Llama AJV " ASAS S0SA40Ass
We were pleased yesterday to receive
a visit from Messrs. Solomon Barnon
and Horace TLompkins Of New River,
who inforHacd us that the overflow is
subsidiDg very slowly in that section,
the rate Of decline being only about one
quarter of an inch in tEenty-four hours.
The expectation that lower New River
would have to bear the heaviest bfunt
OF the inundation has not been verified,
as there is greater average depth Of
water in the Dutch Stores and upper
New River regions than in tue Barmon
neiglbor,ood, and Il number Of small
parcels Of land On lower New River have
not been submerged at all. Mr.. Barmon
has about an acre Of cane and portion
OF his yard and garden out Of water, and
some Of his neighbors have been almost
equally fortunate. The only hope of the
New River country for early and adj
equate relief frcm the food lies i'll the
closing of the Landry and Arizona Gre
vases. If these breaks remain open the
back water will stay Oh their lands so
late that the people will not be able to
make crops Of any magnitude and there
will be much restitution among them.
No rations have yet been distributed Oh
New River, bat Mr.. Barn1on confirms the
opinion other residents Of the section
have expressed, that it will be necessary
to extend relief to a number Of families
before they are again in a position to be-
come self supporting. Seed for replant-
ing destroyed garden and field crops will
be badly needed throughout the over
flowed section and contributions sent to
Mr.. Barmon at Vickner Bayou post-office
or by boat to Black Bayou landing,
Amite river, will he jndiciously and
distributed. 1t is time local
was being effected to care
for sufferers by the overflow in this par
