Tho destitution hore will bo very great, nearly evory ono in the overfloswed district having lost their stook, aud having nothing left to ald them in purchas- ing tho nocesaary rations. Those pactics all ro- quiro holp until they can raise somo corn. Help us all you can, OQur pooplo aro truly suffering, and, unless wo got ald to make nt lenst some corn, this portion of the country will be abnn- doned by fully one-half of the laborers,” AREANSAB CITY, A potition from 860 colored laborers, from Ar- Lkansna City and that vicinity, is forwarded by J. W. Dickingon, formorly a cotton-factor hero, ‘which saye s *The undoraigued, colored peopla, of Arkansas City and the neighboring plata- tions, would rospeotfully state that we areina desperate condition, only a few of us having b fow daye’ rations, and they have boen lurninfiu(l by the ownora of the plantations, who now bave uot enough loft for thoir own families long, The water now stands as bigh ns & foot sbovo tho floors of many of our houtes. Bome of us havo hind to move out snd Lerd with oth- ers, a8 bost wo can, Ovor ail the pluntations tho water stands from 8 to b root. Tno levees are all broken, tho fonces aro gone, aud our stock has beon' greatly roduced from drowning and starvation, Our friends, the white peoplo, have donoe all they could, and oan do no more, Now we can seo nothing but starvation and death to many of us, unless the good people will aid us, and that soon.” Mr, Dickinson, in forwarding the petition, snys: It doos not make the condition as bad as it renlly is. Bome of these famlies are on my place, and I havo been feoding them for four months, during threo of which they bave been cooped up thoir houses, on platforms 8 feot above thoir floors. I cannot feed them any longor, but hope somothine will bo done for those poor negroos, They will sulfer soon, Some of thom have not enough loft for thoir own families long, and the others are living on hominy alone, or parched corn,” IN AISSISBITEL, On the other aide of the river from whors theso lotters are written there is considerable destitution, but Gov. Amos and othor Htate officinla are taking staps to relieve them, but in Arkonses, owing to the troubled condition of af- fairs at the capital, nnthlng is beiug done for them, aud they aro entirely dependent upon the chority of the citizens of other Statos. The Reliof Committes hore is doing good work, but canaot rolieve but & small portion of the inun- dated district. At Hopofield. opposite hore, which has been submeiged for nesrly two months, there is con- siderabl distress, but it ia being rolieved. The following information concerning the overtlow ia gleancd from the officors of the boat arriving Inst night : The rise in the St. Francis, wiich set in a fow days eince, bas overflowed tho banks, and, in two or threo places, plantatioas undor oultivation MAVE BEEN DROWNED OUT. Thero {s but littla destitution in this valley, and the planters are hopeful of the water scon run- ning off, and being sble to resume planting. ‘This riso has broken tho levee in several places near the mouth, including Jofforson's and St. Clair's, nosr Ieland 63, and sovoral othor lovees' at Helens and Friar's Pointaro re- ported in dauger. White River is inside its banks down to Augusta, and below there the plantors are yot hopeful of being able to mnlke n crop. In the Lower Arkansas Iliver the water is off all the plantations, oxcopting Rawlinge, and planters ure at work.

AN APPROXIMATE ESTIMATE OF LOBSES IN LOUIS- IANA. From the New Orleans Tlnes, May 4. Not until there has been a complets subsid- enco of the waters can thers be a_full monsure- ment of the damages sustained ; but n survey of the vast plane of water, which stretches from tho border of Arkauens to the Gulf, with an average width of, eay, filty miles, wo may at least sapproximntoy esti- mate tho calamity. Fredicating our esti- mates on the best lights now befora us, the loss, dicect and consequential, to the people of this Btare must largely oxceod £10,000,000, The ares now under water 18 variously esti~ mated at from 2,600,000 to 3,000,000, Tnvolved is & -population hh'l{ estimnted at 120,000, without cansidering the large commer- ciaf iutoresta of New Osleons, Woll-informed planters and gond judges with whom wo huve conversed consider thut thoro will bo a loss of 250,000 balss of cotton ou tho orop of this year, even under the most favorablo circumatances, Buould the overflow continuo longer than the 16th inat., the losa will be largely onbanced, and excood 900,000 bales, ‘The logs in sugar is aimost total and absolute, not only for the presont year, but will attond that industry for two more years nfter tho Ynmunl. Cane_cannot be brought to & produc- ive capacity under three yenrs, and its restora- tion can only be accomplished giadually, It will be fair to count in the loss not only of " the pres- ent vear but the consoquentialloss of aucceeding yeara, Tho loes on this vear's crop is variously ostimated at from 80,000 fo 40,000 hogsheads, but e are porsuaded thut tho fornor -figures (30,000 hogshonds) is within tho margin of cortainty; that would bo 8,000,000; next yoar, 20,000 Loga- Liends, $2,000,000, and the year following that, 10,000 hogsheads, or €1,000,000, The sugar logs, then, direotly aud consequential, must be sof down st £6,000,000. Of the rice-crop we Liave s certain loss of 5,031,040 pouude, which, cstimated at 03¢ conts, aggrogatos $311,008. There msy be some loss in the crop of to- bacco, but diligent ln%mry has failed to discover that it is motersl. The orop, nt best, is not large in this Btate, A full estimate of the loxs, and we aro without faots to justify it, ‘wouid be $100,000, K This brings us to the consldoration of the most dificult part of the subject, the logs of chattel roporty, such as cattls, mules, hoge, poultry, Fumlng tools, fences, ote, The population, as abovestated, involved in the overtlow is about 120,000 yoo&fle, white and black, ‘implying from 6,000 £010,000 plantations, large and emall. Tho question i, how much hag euch plauntation lost bg' the floud in cattle, mules, fonces, aud other chastol intoreats ? It vaunot be less than $100 to each place, and there are many persons who would unhesitatingly write it down $200 to cach Plua, and yet others who would with a little hositation estimato the lows at double that amount. We profer to tako a moderate viow, and calonlate from the basis of 6,000 places a $200 each, whiok would give a loss of §1,200,000. Thero remain mauy otger matters which havo not ye been consldered, and whioh legitimatel: enter into the estimates of the losses to whic thia Htate has been aubjected by the great ovor- flow, Whon the Btate shall be able to weigh her misfortunos, it may yot sppear that our caloula- tlons are far too shoth FOREIGN.

The iden of-Co-operation, it sooms to mo, recelves & most illogical solution by him; and yetit, no doubt, has many advo- catos upon’ thut ground, who have elther not been accarato observers of human character in all ita phasos, or fondly hope to seo it some day sliape itself to the ono principlo of Co-operation, —a principle which, if carried into tho porsonal rolations of * humanity," would, in my opinion, bo & misfortuna to the race; but which, hap- pily, is a8 impossiblo as tho realization of any . othor dream wheraby tho incentive to individual thrift and enterpriso would bo swallowed up by somo vaguo amalgamation of interests. Thore i3 now—and let us hope always will bo—amplo oncouragement to indepondont exertion and in- dustry. No country or Govornment has ever long prospered whoro that elemont was atifled ; and no commaunity, to myknowledgo, has ever, undor the system of full Co-operation, arrived atany dosirablo status, physically, mentally, or ‘morally. Thore is o logio in the argument that, inns- much a8 a lake-tunnel, public park, or boule- 'vard, is supported by genoral taxation, the same common juterest might be ns auccessfully ap- plied to all the wants and customs of gociety. It does not “pivo to other dopartmonts of life the incalculable bonofits and prostige of the princi- Plc;" for other dopartments of life, as the term 8 bero used, in their nocessities boar no resom-~ blance to these things. To one not educnted to an oppraciation of these broad bhumauitarian viewa which have been s80.eloquenily advanced from time to time upon the au\»{:ut of Co-opara- tion a8 applicd to business, it is difficult to bo- lieve that any plan can ever be adopted worthy to roplace the systom of Lealthy Competition; and, ns applied to living, good Lord, deliver us | What & paradise to the unambitious drone would bo & Oo-operation-homs ; and who else would exchanga for 1t Lhe senae of indspendonce whioh come with individual possedsion ? Every household in this oity has its own po- ouliar foatures of existonoe, according to the tastes of its membora; and the very essence of liome-lifeis the indulgonce of those tastes, Children aro educated hore, and thoir charaaters shaped and monlded by the influences of home, Ts it a practicable theory that thess things can be thrown into one common pool, and all tho varied wants and tastes of an indefinite number bo made to harmonizo as a family ? And yet Co- operation is hungering to swallow the liomes of dear but selfish humanity, which now abidos un- der its own fig-treo. Starting from the Water-Works,—which is a monumeut of Co-operation, and shows what a good thing the principle {8,—we might follow it on through business, then the homes, and then into the'still more intimato rolations of life. And it Is possible & point might bo reached whero the most ardent advocate of the *‘prinoiple” would think it proper to stop ; which goos to show that no “ princlplo " can bo practically ap- gllud to all things,—oxcopt, perhaps, Eternsl ustice, which isn'c Co-operation, .
