THE MISSISSIPPI.

A letter to the editors from friend at St.
Louis, dated the 18th uliimo, contains the fol-
lowing information respecting the early and I'M
usual rise Of the father of rvers:-Nat Intel
"1 he waters of the Mississippi are unusual
ly high, and more especially for the present
season, as our annual food is generally in June.
1t is a question not decided, whether the Mis-.
sissippi is not now as high as the great fresh oil
1871. Much injury, of course, has been done,
both great rivers sending forth their waters at
the same period. Whole settlements OF farm
ers driven, with stock and every thing they
can carry, from the bottoms, with their corn
half planted; villages abandoned; nearly all the
inhabitants have left he old town of Kahokia,
which is nearly all under water All commu-
nication with the eastern side Of the river is by
ferrying about mile and a half beyond the
banks of the river"

Baldwin had given express orders that no dog
should be admitted on board. This order WAS
dsobcyed A woman, in the steerage, contrived
10 get her dog on board, * orders were prompt
iy given BY the Captain that the dog should be
sent ashore in the Pilot boat. Now was the
time for the chivalric interference Of the Sena-
Tor. He went into the sleerage, found the owner
oE,he dog, bough "the pretty creature" for FIVE
dollars, and brought it on deck in his arms. 1t
was in vain he was asked to give IT up TO be put
ashore in the Pilot boat, and therefore orders
were given that if the dog was not promptly
given up 10 be sent ashore, he should be seized

masts and yards all standing. She was moved
a considerable distance upon the rai-w ay, " hen,

OF Terra Firma to make survey Of the ground
between the river Chagre, as far as the South
Sea, and to consider Of the best means fur ef-
feeling the communication Of this sea with the
river, by examining the difficulties which would
oppose the refux Of tn. sea, the level Of the soil,
and the time, men. and money, which would be
required for the undertaking Pasqual DAN
dagoya, then governor of the province, replied,
on the 29d October, 1884, that the project be.
trayed but little knowledge of the country, and
asserted to Charles V. "that no prince, however
great his power, could, even with the assistance
of the inhabitants of these countries, succeed in
the junction of these two seas, or be able to de-.
fray the expense of opening passage to the
river" These documents were found in the col
lection of NJ. de Navarrete, and copied from the
originals now in the archives of the indies at
Seville The difficulties apparent in the six
teen,h century, in the union Of the two seas, are
surely not infalible guides as to the practica
biIity OF its accomplishment, when we consider
the advanced state Of the arts, and the public
wealth at this period. In former times one
would not have believed in the possibility Of
such work as the Caledonia Canal. We have
seen, in the Sd volume Of the "Rearion Histo-
rquc' Of NJ de Humboldt, that that learned
man does not Judge the work Improbable.
