The Floods General.
I'm. o. Times Democrat, Feb. 20 |

A pecuarity of the floods this year is
that they are not restricted to any par
ticular locality, but seem to be general
aud to extend over the whole country;
indeed, not only over this continent, but
throughout Europe as we'll. The long
continued rain in the valley Of the Ohio
appears to be but part OF the same
storm that caused the Thesis and Dan
ube in Austria, the Rhine in Germany
and the Rhone and other rivers i'll
France to rise ont of their beds and food
the neighboring towns. The course of
this storm across the Atlantic could be
distinctly traced to its outburst i'll the
region of tho upper Ohio and the lakes.
Since then we have had constant
succession of floods, freshets and inun-
dations in every portion of the country
until the most retired villages, far up
in the mountains and miles away from
any lake or river, seemed scarcely safe.
Indeed, one Of the most awful calami-
ties of the long list of flood disasters
this year was that which took place out
! in the open prairie near Braidwood, ILL.,,
where the rain had piled up the water
three feet deep and more, into lake,
which breaking through mine, drown
ed the unfortunate miners within.
/ Every tributary of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi is now rising, or has risen, and
nearly every one. has caused damage
along its banks. The Allegheny, Mo
nongahela, r. =. Licking, Z Kentucky and
Cumberland have been booming. We
hear little about the Wabash, but if
has twice been out of it's banks, infiict-
Ing losses of over quarter of million
The rivers pouring into the great lakes
are Just as bad. The Maumee has
flooded large portion of the city o
/ Toledo; the Cuyalloga has twice riser
and inundated Cleveland Nor>has the
Atlantic slope altogether escaped the
ravages of Kuhlbiorn. The Schuylkii
has been on a boom, and along the Sus
quehanna the people at Clearfield, Lock
haven and Port Deposit are. greatly
alarmed at the threatened inundatien
From out in the far West comes tn
same mournfnl story. The Kaw rive
in Kansas has gorged, and is endanger
ing. the. .town.of Harlem. The Missouri
at Jefferson City and st. Joseph i
alarmingly high, and the Kansas and
score or 30 more of streams are out q
, their banks; while in Illinois, the San
Canon, Illinois, and Peoria have al
i, gone mad.
Every portion of the. country tells til
same story of high waters, which hay
been more general and universal thi
, year than ever before, and which haV
{ wrought, unfortunately, very larg
amount of damage.

The announcement of the completion
of the Bonnet Care levee, thus closing
q creyasse which has been open for some
six or seven years, is a most important
fact to large section of valuable coun-
try as well as to New Orleans. The levee
constructed by Major S. l.. James, under
contract with the N. o. and Mississippi
Valley Railroad Co., cost nearly hun
dred Thousand dollars, only fifteen thou
sand of which was paid by the State,
the national government aud the rail-
road company paying the balance, with
the exception OF S335O subscribed by
planters. The work is of the most sub
stantial character and is pronounced to
| be- the best built levee in the State.
What effect the closing of this crevasse
will have upon the rise of the river be-
low the city, and upon the jetties, will
soon be demonstrated, as the high wa
ter season is not far distant. The out
let theory, too, in measure, will also
be tested, and altogether there are a
number of interesting questions involved
in this closing of the Bonnet Carre Gre
vase that will not fail to attract atten-
/ ton and close eobservation.--N.O. o. States
