The Mississippi River.

We offered some remarks, on Saturday,
on The subject OF the bars AT the mouth Of
he Mississippi river, and the danger wnlch h
some Of the people of New Orleans seemed
to apprehend, of their seriously oh>trnc,ing
ant ultimately destroying The navigation Of
the Father of Water. We find, in some OF
the recently received papers from the South,
further intelligence on the topic, aud among
other things, a correspondence between
Mayor Crossrnan and Professor FOrsheV
the distinguished eng gineer, which is Of in
terest rs supplying information n--none Of il
very new il mast he admitted, hut all of a
practical rbaracter-adapteh 10 remove, al
least, portion of the uneasiueSs, which, a.
we avONed the opinion, WAS not Particular
" well founded. The importance of the
Mississippi does not allow il to escape the
watrbful care of the government; and at the
present moment an elaborate survey Ia go
ing on, nnder It's auspices, comprising the
entire delta, looking tn the two great objects
Of preventing inundation and improving The
nav gable channels of the river. The sur
vey - conducted Hy Colonel Long, Of The
TocOgraphicai Engineers. Prof. FOrsley
is attached to II; as he was previously, IN
1850, connected with the survey of The riv-
er mouths ordered by the Legislature of
Louisiana. No one, probably, is better
qualified TO speak Oh the suhject than he
II wII be seen that lie does not EXHIBIT any
alarm, bat, on the contrary, believes the
navigation Of the stream may he greatly ln-
proved, and suggests mode by which the
object may be accomplished.
According 10 Prof, F., the only outlets OF
the Mississippi which are reliable or very
valuable for cominerciai purposes are The
Sou Invest Pass aud the Pass pCuire.--
These two I.asses, however, do not vent So
much water as the north channel Of Pass a
lrOutre, the Northeast, Southeast and South
/ Passes, and the Jump, OF WHder's Bayou
together; the waters wasted through which
would, if controlled and made TO discharge
through the two first mentioned, enable the
currents successfully to contend with the
hars and keep up deep chaDneIs-at leas
for some years; for Prof. F. takes too phi
Iosophic a view Of the matter TO believe tba
even that remedy will prove lasting ore.
