Tub Great Crevasse. Tbe Times cor
respondent, in describing a visit to tbe Bon
net Carre crevasse, near New Orleans,
says: "I came to what was apparently a
valuable plantation, now covered wltb
water to the deptb of ten leet. The sugar
bouse, negro'qunrters, and dwelling bouses
were ail standing iu the midst of tba water,
and presented, a piotitre saddening to he
boid. At Bonnet Carre a huge volume ol
water rushes through a gap 1,200 feet wide,
foaming and seething, while tbe angry roar
impresses sense of (ear upon tbe listener.
Near tbe break is a small collection of
boost's, at tbe hack of tbem is a number or
plantations, and further removed is a line
of forests, through all of which tbe flood
pours its tesistless force. All tbe light or
life is fled lrom ibe village. Deserted houses
wltb tbeir open doors tell too trulylbe paia
ful story. It needs no second view to con
vince tbe beholder that no mortal power
can arrest the flood. A large force is em
ployed to preveut further damages. On the
levee, in some pluces tbe water Is 12 fe-t
deep, reaching beyond the secobd story ol
many of tbe bouses.
John Newell, a notorious rough of Pitts
burgh, bas been held U bail in tie sum of
$3,000. for liltioif Ibe ear off of .Policeman
Johnson. Tbe fight originated from a dis-

Landing, last summer, between Newell and
a colored man named Grant. Both parties
ore known in the oil region as rather no
torious characters, and do not bear extraor
dinary good names.
