in regard to the breaks in the levees below that point: The first break occurred at Tallula, Issequina county, Miss., and the water partially damaged about nine plantations so much as to prevent any cotton being raised upon them at all this season. A full crop of corn, however, will be made. The damage to the levee and to the planters will amount to several hundred thousand dollars. The break in the levee at Ford's, twenty-five miles below Columbia, in Chicot county, Ark., is by far the most serious. The water inundated a large section of country, the formation of which is such that the decline in the river will not suffice to draw off the element. The damage to the levee and to planters is estimated at fully one million dollars. Thursday night of last week, Bernard's levee, one mile above Grand Lake, was cut. It was repaired before any material damage was sustained. The river is now declining very rapidly, and all fears of any more crevasses have subsided.
