The water is higher thah ever "nov5 3fi'." Th town is an island, two and : half miles long by half a mile wid'! from which there -is no exit; except by boats or swimming. F-ToIU.the crossing of the railroad and Desard streets back is one wile sea. FnlWM1.000 people have not ratioaa for three: days. nor money to buy with. Stock of every description gathered in town are starving. On Iesard Island, almost all the pl:anta tions are under water. ,NEw O!tLEANS, April 25.-Letters from planters in Carroll Parish say that fron the overflow there will be twenty sven plantations in this parish that will imake no cotton at all, elefen that may make half a erop, and twenty-nine that are good for a full crop. Almost the entire parish,of West Baton Rouge, and the whole of the parish of Iberville, ly ing on the right of the Mississippi river, appear to be under water. MONTGOMERY, April 24.-The rains all over the State, for the past ten days, have r*ised the water courses- to over flowing--for the third time in the last six weeks. The Alabama, river is all over the low grounds. and is -still rising, with rain still falling heavily. Farm ing operations have been greatly re tarded, and it is feared that much low land will have to be abandonet -. IVASHINGTON, April 25.-The secre tary of war's communication to the House to-day, -says- no commissary stores can be spared from military sta tions on the lower Mississippi. After a verbal conference between the Presi dent and the secretary of war, the com missary-general was directed to prepare 5.000 rations of meat, four and beans. These rations will feed 20,000 people fortwenty days. The sedretary of war asks for 90,000 of these rations from. Congress. The details from the flood of the Mississippi show the situation ap palling. Ninety-three of the richest cotton producing parishes are flooded, and 27,000 people are '6eeding relief from starvation.

We have had - rain in: abundance, so much that we can scarcely get;to plow amnd plant our crops.. Sometimes we are almost ready to des- e pair, as the 4ing is, we get "down in y the month," 'bat when it fairs off and y, the sun comes out. the gloom passes off v, and we are ump and doing. Both the t borhood. are all busy, trying to -study out how to get along the fastest. The colored people. have studied ouit a plhnm to save time i planting as well as the I white people. I saw Woddy Maybin, ,J a colored man that has a contract on ? Mr. W. H. Knight's plantation, pulling e a plow with a board on it and sow~ing the seed at the same time. HIe had a chain through the beam and a strap at tached to the end of the chain and buckled around him and one of his children was. holding up the plow. 1 ~ und(erstaLnd that another colored man,, Noahl Wilson, who has a contract on t Mr. Daniel B.'s plarntation, is sowing *t and covering in the same manner. - I t think this is a day of enterprise. Pull ing the plow, sowing the seed andcov ering, all at the same time, is equal to Mr. H. H. F.'s laying off two rows with t one horse. We can boast of having two stores in this section of the country, I one near King's Creek, kept by Mr. l Newton Read, the other over on the c Caldwell road in the Chinquepins, kept , by Mr. Butler Cameron.
