NEW ORLEANS, April 2s.-The river has
fallen. and the chief damage now is from back
water, which lnvades the plantations from the
rear. Most OF the plantations have rear levees,
but some Of them were broken to-day at Bur-
rows. Sinclalr's and other places, letting in
the water on the elevated lands Three steam
boats loaded with passengers and cattle have
reached Plaquemlne from the Crosse Tete sec
tlon OF Iberville and West Baton Rouge. An
other steamer. the Alarm. with several barees
has been sent into the same country 10 bring
moro down. After flRhtinR the flood for nearly
week, a large number Of them have given Il
ur. and taken refuge at Plaauemine.
It now seems inevitable that the flne sugar
plantations on the river at Ibervllle parish,
which It was thought at first would escape the
overflow. will be more or less affected by back
water. Their probable loss has not hitherto
been included In the estimate Of damage fIom
the flood.
The low lands OF St Landry parish are being
rapidly submerged by the water from the
Atchafalaya and Bayou Des GlRizea The
stock In that section Is now being removed to
higher lands. but the people will remain in
their houses eome weeks longer to protect
their property, and will leave only when driven
out by the water
The Martinez crevasse In East Baton Rouge
has been closed. 1t is the largest break ever
closed on the Mississippi, taking 10000 sand
bags. $4,000 lsborers. and $4,000 to do 1t.
Planters in north Louisiana think that tho
water will be down sufficiently to plant by May
90 In Concordia they expect to plant cotton
as late as June IS, and hope TO do fairly well
with 1t.
A st. Joseph special says there has been n
decline of one inch In the river in the past
twenty-tour hours. Tho levees are all holding

crevasse all last night. Tho break ia virtually
closed. The laborers on the DacotRh. together
with tho other hands. began sucking at az
o'clock yesterday morning. Nearly 100000
sacks were dropped In front Of the crib work,
and at 6 o'clock the backwater had fallen
three feet At intervals tho water would get
the best OF the workmen and rush through a
small aperture with lightninR like speed, cut
ting deep channel under the oribblnR. Such
places were dangerous. and whenever they oc-
CURED the entire force would be concentrated
on the danger point and hundreds Of sacks
dropped into the hole.
This morning tho crevasso Ia barely leaking.
but there is not u snfticienGy OF sacks. The
Dacotah came UP to Baton Rouge for another
load OF sacks, arriving here at IL o'clock. She

taken all this time to reflect upon it DaGRett
knew they were sitting In judgment upon
