Levees.

A Bad Break in the Lower Mississippi
Levees.
Tt is reported that the Nita crevasse is
now $50 feet wide and from to feet
deep. Two plantations above the break
have been covered by back water, but the
flood is spreading over the country below
for distance of twenty-five miles.
A dispatch from Vicksburg says that the
crevasse at Raleigh, La, as we'll as that at
Ofuttus, Miss, is likely to cause serious
damage to the railroads in those vicinities.
The Riversid, division of the Mississippi
Valley railroad is under water and the track
is being staked down to prevent its being
washed away. Unless the crevasse at
Offuttus, which is now 500 feet wide, is
soon closed, large portions of Washing.
ton, Sharkey and Issaquena counties and
the garden of the Yazoo- Mississippi delta,
covering an immense area, will be flooded.
The situation on the Shreveport division
route is becoming serious. Between Talu.
lab and Lake the water is up to the rail-
road track and is rising at the rate of seven
inches daily. The Raleigh crevasse is en-.
larging at the rate of two feet an hour and
all attempts to prevent the ends of the
levees from caving have SO far been unsuc.
cessful. A party of engineers have left
or Raleigh for the purpose of riveting the
ends of the levees. There is great distress
in the track of the food caused by lack OF
skiffs to move persons and property out Of
danger. No loss Of life has been reported.
Adyices from the levees on both sides of
the river south of Greenville are encour.
