They ave LOST ALL THEIR HOGS, AND NEARLY ALL TREID CATTLE ato_either lost or starving. The people themselven have neither money nor credit, no lace to go to, and nothing todo, Dut this estimate by no means’ dis- closes tho distress of those reeiding on small bayous and creeks, which have been overflowed by the buckwater and floods of rain. They have gen.
