The Grand Levee.

Mr.. James Bayley called the attention Of the
Police Jury, on Thursday last, to the startling
act, that as yet nothing had been done towards
making the Grand Leyee, and to the prevailing
belief that it would not be made this season.
The Police Jury regarding the matter as beyond
their power and control passed a resolution in
forming the Governor of the neglect of the
parties bound to do the work, and of the fears
entertained on the subject by the people Of this
parish.
This is probably all that the Police Jury
how the Governor is to remedy the evil COM
planned of.
Some fatality appears to have attended this
undertaking from the beginning. The appro-
priation was wrlng from reluctant legislature
by the untiring efforts of our representatives.
When the bill under which it was made, went
into operation, it was discovered that no funds
were provided for the necessary preliminary
expenses and that no money could be drawn
under it, from the treasury, until the work was
done and approved of. Immediately after the
sale of the work, our commissioner Col Van
Wickle was taken sick, and was compelled to go
to the Arkansas springs, for the recovery Of
that health which he had lost by over exertions
in the discharge Of his duties as commissioner.
The engineer for this district died, and the con-
tractors have, we suppose, been unable to pro-
cure hands to go on with the work at any rea-
sonable rate. 1t may be, that they yet intend
to comply with their contract, but if they view
the matter as others do, and see the impossiblity
of their doing so, they ought, while there is yet
hope of saving number of persons from sill-
nudation, to declare their inability and throw
up their contracts # the river is allowed to
pass in unobstructed, during the next high
water, over that part Of the parish where the
levee was to be made, millions will not cover
the damages that will be done to this parish
alone. It is in our opinion greatly to be de-
plored that the work was not undertaken even
at sacrifice, by the planters in the vicinity
who were most likely toesuffer from its not
being completed In the present state of un-
certainty, they must be suffering all the pains Of
anticipated evil.-Poim Coupee Echo, 18th inst.

The q. s. MAn.-This intolerable nuisance
continues to rage with unabated severity which,
in our opinion, is proof positive that other pes
tilences may exist where the yellow fever pre-
walls not that we have the latter scourge among
us now, but that the mail nuisance existed all
through the epidemic, and continues with de-
plorable results up to this time, is fact not to
be disputed. There has not been three regular
mails here in as many months and when we do
receive one, the papers have the most antedi-
luvian appearance, and are dated so far back
that the memory Of man runneth not to the con-
trary." The New Orleans True Delta offers to
the Post Master in that place-if he will retire
from his office and let it take care Of itself that
he shall be paid his full salary, the amount to
be raised by subscriptions from merchants and
others who would be thus relieved from his in
reference. If somebody 1--WE can't say who) on
our route was provided for in the same manner, it
would result in incalculable advantage to the
community. Something must be done. =
