~ A correspondent of the Cannelton
Economist offers to give $4,000 towards the
erection of college in that place on condi-
ton that the additional sum OF SIS 600 shall
be raised during the present year. This is
certainly very liberal offer, and the Econo-
mist says that the gentleman who makes it
will abide by his proposition.

ANOTHER CREvAssE.-We are informed
that the river broke through the levee at
Gen. Lacoste's plantation. about seven miles
below Algiers, on last Sunday night The
levees at this point are very high; the outer
or old one opened by the rush of water a
breadth of nearly fifty feet; the inner levee,
not long erected, has lost. about sixty feet,
and is still wearing away. If the old levee
can resist the force of the current, there are
some hopes, by its aid, of stopping the Gre
vase.
The Morgan and Poydras plantations, fur
Their down and OIL this side of the river, are al
so menaced. Being on point and exposed
to the direct action of the swollen and rapid
current they necessarily stand in much DAN
ger. At the Morgan plantation a new levee
has for some time been in course of erection
about square in the rear of the old one The
continual and soaking rains, together with the
great rise in the river, place the levees in a
very precarious position.

DefAMIIerS

Since the present administration came in
to power, Locofoco ofice-holders, charged
with the keeping of the public funds under
the provision OF the Sub Treasury law. have
ben detected in defalcations to the amount of
about $20O000O. They have appropriated
this amount, some half dozen of them, to
their own uses, with the penalties of the Sub
Treasury law, a law of their own and their
party's making, full and lain before their
eyes. These penalties however seemed to
have no terrors for them. They never
dreamed that law, which they had done so
much to enact, and which they had praised
SO extravagantly, could ever let its punish
ments be inflicted on them. They never co /
ceived for an instant that its punishments
could be visited on any other persons than
Wings. In fact we are told they had per-
suaded themselves that the provisions Of the
law actually designated the Wings and APP
piled exclusively to them, leaving the Loco
focos at liberty to steal as much us they pleas
ed.
1t seems, however, that one of the provis-
of the Treasury law is in these words
Any officer charged with the safe keeping
of the public moneys. who shall loan, use. de-
post in bank, or exchange any portion OF
them shall be deemed guilty of felony, be
imprisoned not less than six months nor
more than - years, aud be fined in an
amount equal to the sum thus embezzled.-
Any failure TO pay over the money required
shall be deemed prima facie evidence of such
Iembezzelement.
And thus the astounding fact is revealed
that the penaltyof the law, owing possibly
to some blunder or oversight on the part o.
its Locofoco trainers, is applicable to Wings
and Locolocos alike IT'S now too late for
them to remedy the evil SoIet the defauI.
lers settle their accounts. Those of them
who have got the pecuniary means can settle
with the officers of Government. Thos who
have not will have to settle with the wardens
of the penitentiaries.-TL Lou. Jour.

until victory perched upon it's folds.
