* 'At a meeting of the planter» and dele-,
gute« of the overflowed parishes of Loui
siana, hold at the St. Charles Hotel, in the
city of "New Orleans, on the 4th day of
Octobor, 1885, the following; resolution
and memorial were adopted ;
KfcSOLCTJON. I.
JÎM>b)e<l, That a coramitwo be appointed
by the S'residont of this Convention, to
<A>u*iht of one member from «nob over
flowed parish, to draw up a memorial -to
be submitted to Gov. Wells and Major
Gen. E. H. 8. Canby, on the subject of the
rebuilding and reparation of the levees on
the Mississippi river:
HRMOHIAL.
To HI« Kl»ll«i)( y, .1. M a BI8» h Wr .i u, (iororuor of
th« gut« of liOuUiana, and Major (ionoral K.
R. 8. CAWir, OoinmaDdirijj Ihn Départaient of
Louisiana :
From a glance at the map of the State of
Louisiana, a general idea of tha extent of
the overflow may bo formed. It embraced
all lands lying between the Mississippi,
Ouachita and Black Rivers, und all lauds
'y»ng «ont h of Red Kl vor and east of Bayou
Bœuf and Bayou Tocho, to Berwick's Bay;
also, all livnds between Bayou Lafourche
and the Atc.bafalaya River. Hi« estima
ted that eight million, two hundred and
thirty thousand acre« of land were actually
inundated, a large portion of which wa* in
a high state of cultivation. No leu* t.ban
nineteen parishes wtre partially, or almost
totally overflowed. I
In order to show the extant, of the dam
age Incurred, we would refer to an esti
mato made by authority of the Police Jury
of the parish of Assumption. From that
estimate, it would appear, that in that
parish alone, 2110 persons were forced
from their homes; 21 «1 hales of cotton
woro probably lost by the overflow of 4822
acres of land, already planted in cotton;
180,000 bushels of corn, the probable pro
duct of 5400 acres, and 1,575,000 pounds of
sugar, the product, of ttlOO acre» of lsnd,
were totally destroyed.
The estimated vniuo of products de
stroyed, is five hundred and tbirty-four
thousand, eight hundred and sixteen dol
lars. In this estimate, the loss in stock
and damage to plantations is not included.
Wo have estimated that the losses incurred
in the parishes, added to this, amounts to
tho sum of three million of dollars.
Those land wore appraised at many mil
lions of dollars before the war, and the
products Of the parishes overflowed, ac-i
cording to the Auditor's report for tho
year 1861, amounted to thirty-four mil
lions, five hundred and fifty-three thou
sand, one hundred and forty aeveu dollars.
The estimated cost of rebuilding and re
pairing tho Missii-sippi levee« would not
exceed six hundred and twenty-five thou
sand dollars, as appears from the Report of
Engineers appointed by authority of the
United States and of the State of Lonisi
ana, a copy of which is hereunto annexed.
A few thousand dollars additional would
probably be roquired to construct levuea on
Mfe Atetiafaiaya and other laUyal streams.
As a question of finance, the immediate
reparation of the levees presents itself iu
strong Ijght to the State and United States
governments. It is more than probable
that tho loss in taxes Will am omit to a sum
more than adequate to def ray tho expense«
necessary to secure tho low lands from a
second overflow. It must bo borne in
mind that the lands will not be cultivated
the ooining Jew, unless somo reliable as
surance of protection, from tho devastation
of the river can he given. Under tho pres
ent depressed state of the agricultural in
terest of our State few persons arc in a con
dition to bear tho loss of two crops in suc
cession, aud as a consequence these losses
of revenue must continue until the river is
confined to its banks.
ft must also bo remembered that the
condition of the broken levees will grad
ually grow worse, and the evil of which
we complain increase. So that if the work
of reparation is postponed for another sea
son it will requiro not only a larger sum
for repairs, but tho breaches in the levee
being gradually widened, additional lands
will be overflowed, and the agricultural
interests of thecouutry be correspondingly
depressed.
The lauds will apeudily be covered with
an almost tropical growth of trees, vines,
etc., which will render them as difficult to
bo put tn cultivation as they were in their
original state; and, if long neglected, the
whole country will have to be abandoned
and loft desolate.
It oöcurs to the Committee that the State
of Louisiana has a right to call upon the
Comoiandiug General of this Department,
through its executive officer, for stich as
sistance from the United States as can bo
giv9it, as we have reason to l>elieve that
the soldi«*» stationed at Morganza were
ftiinfly iSfArnmëntal in causing the levee
to give way at that point which, owing to
the great bend in tho river, contributed
very largely to the amount of water which
inpiidated the lands of lower Louisiana,
it has heretofore been noted that no
number of crevasses in Um river, betweeu
the mouth of Hod River and Uonald^'i
viiio, ««used a general ovuî How of lao^m
the lower part of tbr, State, ft this grund
levee below M organza, and on the same
bond, did not give way For years past,
that section of levee ha» boon regarded by
'ho Legislature as of MMb vital importance
to the safety of the country which it pro
tected, that largo and frequent appropria
tions have been made for rebuilding it
when requisite, and for strengthening it
when there was any doubt of its ability to
r*»i»t the greet pîissnra of water; and tlm
samo may be sai-Mf the large levees above
tho mouth of Jied River. It is also be
lieved that the damages done to tho levee*
at Milliken's Bond, Lake Providence,
Duckport aud White'? Plantation, by the
opérations of tho Federal army, greatly
contributed to the extont of the overflow.
Before the war, tho lovons were kept up by
riparian proprietors and by levee districts:
by. the war, they have been deprived of
the labor previously used for that purpose,
.«rid in their presSBTTTTTfoverishea condi
tion it i# impossible for them to keep up
the levees. The finances of the State aro
in such a condition that it cannot be ex
pected to do tho work.
Having no other source to look to, wo
therefore appeal to the General Govern
ment to devise the means. to protect
effectually tho citizen« of Louisiana from
the dangers of overflow: and if the Com
landing General bas tho means within
his power, a« tho oecossitioa are pressing,
wo reapovtfully rcquo.it hitn to employ
them to rencuo the country from the im
peading daugor. W. W. I'coh,
