THE LEvEEs GIVE WAY.
GHEENvILLE, Miss, March 29.-The
storm Thursday drove the waters of the
swoolen Mississippi over the levee and
caused great creyasses where the embank-
ment was heretofore thought secure. The |
breaks we're at Easton's levee, half mile |
above Mound landing and a mile and a |
half below Huntington, on the Timber |
Lake plantation. The outflow from these |
places will lnundate large section OF |
country before it reaches the Y.zoo river
again, to join the great river, leaving
desolation and ruin in these parts. sub

delta ant entirely suspending railroad
travel from Leland to Rolling Farm.
The water from the Huntington break
will JOIN the outpour from the Offut break.
which will inundate large section of
These waters will swell its vol
ume, bearing to the west against Green
vile and spreading out towards Williams
bayou on the east, and DO doubt will blend
with the waters from the eastern break,
making perfect sea of water from here
10 Bayou Philia, and perhaps overfowing
he east banks of this stream. The
JUNCTION of the waters from these three
streams will inundate nearly all the plan
ations IN Washington county in all Its
,ntlre length and breadth until Sharky
md Isaquena counties are reached; then,
with the outpour from the
,kipwlth break, overfowing everything
n its track until the Yazoo river Is
cached.
The damage this will do to plantations,
took, fences, houses, stores, towns and
is beyond calculation.
Cfops will be late, and in many cases
t may not be possible to plant at all.
The latest from the Easton break states
hat it is now 600 feet wide and increas-
ng rapidly. The water has crossed to the
vest bank of Williams bayou at Avondale,
nd is six feet deep in the stores at that
lace.
A late dispatch tonight says the pro
ectiOn levee in the rear of Greenyill can
ot last through the night.
