BREAKS IN THE LEvEE.-The extraordinary
height of the river has led to belief for some time
past that creyasse opposite, near the city, was
inevitable. Last evening report was current that
large breach was made in the Levee in the lower
extremity of the Third Municipality, and that a
considerable amount ofproperty had been destroyed.
The big stage Of water, and the condition of the
Levee, gave immediate currency to the report As
usual our fast man was the spot at the earliest
moment possible. On reaching the foot of France
street, he found number of laborers at work, dig
gng and drawing dirt to increase the height of the
Levee sufficient to resist the encroachment of the
river. About O'Clock in the afternoon, the river,
already within a few inches of the Levee, had
worn a passage, through which, though narrow,
the water rushed as cataract. The whole neigh
borhood was alarmed blythe flood and the impetuosty
with which the water coursed. The streets We're
inundated to the depth of several inches, and when
Mr. D'Hemecourt, the Surveyor OF the Third Mu-
nicipalty, reached the ground, about O'Clock,
apprehension was at its highest point On inspec-
ton it was found the river had made half dozen
gullies through the Levee, between France street
and the Convent. Carts and laborers Were imme-
diatey set to work, and at ii O'Clock, when we
left, the " Father of Waters seemed-at least in
that section-to be as much under control as the
most juvenile stream.
But danger was not altogether past-the embank-
ments raised were necessarily weak, and there was
an all-night job before the workmen to resist the
invasion of one of the most insidious elements.
The elevation of the city in that part where the
Levee was broken through is such as to preclude
the possibility of serious damage to property in the
neighborhood. At worst, the streets can be covered
to the depth of but seven or eight inches. Mr..
D'Hemecourt passed along the part of the Levee
where the overflow took place for it may be
properly called about O'Clock in the afternoon,
and apparently all was safe, but tide and wind
combining to resist the current of the river caused
it to rise several inches, and hence the overflow.
Up to the time we left, the damage to private prop
erty was trifling We take pleasure in bearing wit
ness to the energy and judgment of Mr.. D'Heme-
court For several hours, we saw him flying from
spot to spot, knee deep in mud, animatng and en-
couraging the workmen, and directing their labors,
and when we left his task of securing his fellow
citizens from apprehension, if danger, had been
but partially effected. He had done all he could,
and was determined to do all he could

He is GONE Jack Adams, the universal favor
lite, died yesterday from the injuries he received
the burning of Mr. Whites house, on the New Ca.
nal, about week since. He lived longer than was
expected by his physicians, and death, in his case
was the termination of the most horrible agony.
As First Assistant Foreman of Fire Company No
Is, he was noted as one of the most active mem
bers of the Fire Department. and his death is to be
attributed to fearlessness of danger bordering on
temerity. Our fremen should not forget that life
is more valuable than property. Jack Adams, poor
fellow ! had caused TO be wrought, at his Own ex-
pense, beautiful flag, for his company, which he
purposed formally presenting on the 18th of March
next, the anniversary of the Fire Department. He
was 30 years Of age native of West Cambridge,
Mass; and has been a resident of this city about
five years. He leaves wife and two children to
mourn his untimely death. His loss is deeply re-
GREETED by his brother-fremen and all who knew
him, and the community has lost valuable citizen
Peace to his names!

Our CREDIr-The credit of the United States
appears to be getting considerably up in the world,
and since some of our people have found the Cali
fornia gold mines, we presume that European CAPT.
talists will insist upon us using their funds even
without interest, rather than we should not have
the money. So it is, whenever a man or nation
becomes rich or independent, and gets a little
saucy, all the rest of the world is ready to assist
when it is not needed. Our friends in England
have just found out that we are somebody as the
London Globe of Dec. 90 says: "Of this We feel
persuaded, that the security of the Federal Govern
men of the United States is the most perfect in the
world, and that its Si1per-cent stock, at 81,
would be cheap at par

HE WEATHER AND THE RIvER-The extra
ordinary warm weather of the last two months, has
had the effect of melting all the snow and ice which
are drained into the lower tributaries of the Misss-
sippi and the uncommon quantity of rain along the
Red River valley, has also swollen that stream :;
the consequence is, that the Mississippi in Lower
Louisiana, is full to the height'of the Levee and
small rise of the Missouri, Upper Mississippi or
Ohio, would send it rushing over its banks. In
deed, we have reason to entertain great fears that
the levees will give way in many places as it is
The almost constant dampness of the weather, and
the rains which have fallen lately in such abund-
ance, have weakened the levees greatly, and in
creased the danger which always attends high
water We hope and pray that we may escape
The infection of an overflow, for it needs but that to
put the climax on the caamities which our city has
suffered for the last year. The condition of the
ievees in the vicinity of the city are, we under
sand, In good order, and those whose duty it is to
supervise them, are indefatgable in their exertions
TO keep all secure. The Mayor of the CITY took a
tour OF inspection yesterday and is of the opinion
that there is no danger of the levees giving wav.
and that the good people need not be alarmed.
