FROM SLIDELL,


EpIToR ST.. TAMNAxY FARMER:
The high tide occasioned by thu
crevasse washing the Mississippi
through our Lake has occupied the
minds and attention Of the residents
Of our bayOus 80 much that it hal
even distracted your correspondent.
However, We are striving to make
ourselves useful, and to improve
our village in every way.
The n. u. & n. f. X. X, has
proved itself to be really the Queen
and Crescent Railroad of the
South, giving access to New Or
leans over its line to the several
other routes impeded by the over
flow.
There is quite an enthusiastic and
interesting study of the events TAX
ing place, concerning the North
eastern Railroad, aud persons of
keen insight and intellect, some
what versed with engineering, have
remarkel that the filling in Of tn.
trestle work through the marsh
from Guzman's Station, on The edge
If the woods, to the north shore Of
the Lake, . distance Of only two
miles, has DISTRACTED the water
running out through the RigOlets to
the Gulf, 81 rs to cause the tide t.
rise One fOJt higher on the west
side Of the road than on the east
side, especially when restricted and
kept within the bounds Of said fill
ing by the prevailing southeast
winds. 1t is therefore concluded
that If ever the trestle work from
Point aux Herbes should be per-
mitted to be likewise substantially
filled in, according to contract by
said railroad com .,any and the
United States Government, it will
cause an unparalleled over
of the city of New Orleans in
the future, especially in times like
the present crevasse the northwest
wind will restrain the waters from
running out Of that immense circle
naturally existing from Pass Man.

be seen by q glance at the map of
Lake Pohtchartrain, thus causing
