an extent as has required the 1evees between
Donaldsonville and Thibodaux to be made more
than twice as high as were deemed sufficient
twenty-five years ago. The best levees that can
now be maintained, afford but an uncertain and
precarious protection from overflow between
Thibodaux and Lockport, and below this latter
named town no protection whatever in times of
EXTREMIST high water. If no remedy is applied
to this case the whole country below Lockrort
will shortly be abandoned by its inhabitants, (in
fact very many settlements are observed already
vacated, and the limits requiring abandonment
will gradually and surely move upwards until
it nearly reaches to the town of Thibodaux, and
that at no distant period of time. The amount
of labor now required to augment and keep in
repair the levees on the bayou as they are, under
the present circumstances, costs more annually,
than the amount which will be required to make
the improvements proposed, and yet only afford
partial protection from overflow.
tits not supposed that the improvements herein
proposed, even, will answer the purpose for
which they are designed forever; but it is be-
lieved they will protect the country from over
flow for a considerable length of time, after
which q closure Of the bayou at Donaldsonville
will become necessary, unless the outlet pro-
posed shall be operated as to form q continuance
of the main bayou or new ones be made.
nave DeeH Tequesteu 10 St1Ge, III tLlS report
what would be the probable effect of the pro-
posed improvement, as it regards the public
lands belonging to the State, known as swamp
lands. By an examination in the Land Office it
was ascertained that the total amount of these
lands effected by the overflow of Bayou Lafourche
exceeds eight hundred thousand acres the
greatest portion consists of low prairies OF
marshes, which must remain nearly valueless
until reclaimed by drainage. As near as can
be judged, there is of these swamp lands about
fifty thousand acres which would probably be
sold under the provisions of existing laws, within
short time, if the overflow Of the waters Of the
bayou can be arrested.
Hereto | annex two tables, useful for refer
ence in comparison with the data in table A,
foregoing, and which have been compiled from
the register kept at Donaldsonville, by Mr..
Gingry, who deserves great credit for the con-
stancy and fidelity with which he has kept, fol
several years, record of the rise and fall OF
water in the river and bayou at that place, and
also of meteorological observations. If in addi-
ton to his register, the velocity at the diferen,
stages of water was known at given points
| where the cross sections Of the river or bayou
was also known, many useful results might be
calculated therefrom, and it is to be hoped that
provision may be made for collecting and pre-
serving data of this kind.

FILLrBUsrERs.-The Mexican Government,
says the Philadelphia Ledger, appears to be get.
ting excited at the attempts the part Of fill
busters from the United States to dismember the
Mexican territory. The Mexican Minister Of
Foreign Affairs has been interrogating the
Charge dAfaires of the United States on the
subject, to know why our Government does not
interfere to prevent such expeditions. The
reason is very obvious. The Government has a
faithless set Of public officers employed in some
of our cities as custom-house officers, who wink
at such expeditions, and who are not rigidly
called to account for their dereliction Of duty
and dismissed from service when neglecting it
II dismissal were made the rule in all suel
cases of neglect, the vigilance of the officer.
would soon be sufficient to prevent such expedi
tions being fitted out in our ports.

The Sabbath Bell.
BY ELIZA COOK.

Peal on, peal on, love to hear
The old church ding-dong soft and cle1r!
The welcome sounds are doubly biest
With future hope and eaaihly rest,
Yet were no calling changes found
To spread the cheering echoes round,
There's not place where man may dwell,
But he can hear Sabbath bell.
Go 10 the woods, when winters song
HowIs like famished wolf along;
Or when the south winds scarcely turn
The light leaves of the trembling fern,
Although no cieister chimes ring there,
The heart is called to faith and prayer;
For all creations voices tell
The tidings Of the Sabbath bell.
Go to the b.llows, let them pour
In gentle calm or headlong roar;
Let the vast ocean be thy home,
Thou1t find God upon the foam;
In rippling swell or stormy roll.
The crystal waves shall wake thy soul;
And thou shalt feel the hallowed spell
OF the wide waters Sabbath bell.
The lark upon his skyward way,
The robin on the hedge row spray,
The bee within the wild thyme's bloom,
The owl amid the cypress gloom,
All sing in every varied tone
A vesper to the great Unknown,
Above-below-one chorus swells
OF Gods unnuinbered Sabbath bells.

plans to be made hereafter, from proper sur
veys; and would even go SO far with it as to
turn the whole water of the bayou through the
outlet and permanently close the stream below,
so that it should always remain a good canal, if
it should, after sufficient surveys, be found prac
ticable. propose to 60 on and have the sur
veys completed under the instructions already
given, that may be able to answer, satisfac-
torily, all the queries contained in the resolu-
ton.
1 am fully convinced that the immense amount
of swamp and overfowed land now belonging to
the State, which is at present perfectly worth
less, would, after being saved from inundation
by this improvement, shortly sell for more than
enough to pay for it.
The attention of the Legislature was called
to the great Importance Of this subject in the
year 1917, by Governor Hebert then State En-
gineer, when an enlargement of the bayou could
more easily have been effected than at present.
No action having been taken in the premises at
that time, the evil has gone on increasing ever
since.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
GEO. W. MORSE, State Engineer.
Baron ROUGE, February Goth, 1854,
To G. W. MORSE, ESQ.,, State Engineer.
SIR: In conformity with your instructions
dated the 18th ultlmo, have made recou-
noisance and partial survey Of Bayou Lafourche
and its levees, for the purpose of obtaining the
information therein called for. Herewith you
will please find one book containing the field
notes Of said survey, and fifteen diagrams show
ing the cross sections, velocity, &C., at the sew
eral points thereon designated. .6
By an inspection of these notes and diagrams,
it will be that said bayou has become closed
or diminished in its dimensions in the lower half
| of its length, to such extent as to be unable
to discharge through its own channel, the amount
of water which freely flows from the Mississippi
River through the upper half of its length,
whenever the water in said river rises above a
point 10 feet below its highest water mark.
This fact was most conclusively proved, whilst
I was engaged in making the survey, by the oc-
currence Of five crevasses, on the 9th and 10th
inst in the vicinity of the point where the bayou
has the least dimensions.
For the purpose Of more clearly understand
ing the subject at a glance, have prepared
the following table containing portion of the
data which is exhibited more in detail in the
field notes and diagrams:
TABLE A-Shoumg the area and relocity O
Bayou Lafomche at different points.
Thibodaux minerva. [volume] (Thibodaux, La.) 18??-1858, 1854-03-11

The cross section taken at r. R. Barrow's
plantation, the second in the above table, it is
believed, shows the minimum dimensions that
can be found in the upper portion, or say, with
in fifteen miles from the head at Donaldsonville,
and is nearly five times greater than the dimen-
sions Of the bayou for distance of eight or
nine miles in length, commencing about 10 miles
below Lockport, and extending from thence
down. Whenever the water In the bayou reaches
its highest point at Donaldsonvlle, by the greater
declivity Of its upper strata, the velocity there
must necessarily be increased to an amount pro-
bably sufficient to carry as much water per
square foot Of its cross section there, in given
time, as can be discharged through the lower
foot of its cross section at its point Of greatest
velocity, or nearly 50. In order to retain with
in its banks and discharge between them this
amount Of water, it viii require either that the
levees be elevated or the channel enlarged, 50
as to give cross section equal, or nearly SO, to
that found in the upper portion Of the bayou
Neither OF these measures in my opinion, are
practicable. In order to make the bayou itself
capable Of discharging the water flowing into its
.apper section during high water in the Missis-
Esippi, viii require very considerable enlarge
ment for . distance exceeding more than fifty
miles IN length, through material composed of
logs, tree tops, stumps, roots and sediment in
termixed, extremely difficult to remove.
II the above conclusions are correct, it then
becomes proper to inquire if there can be pro-
vided any other remedy for the evil. Three
propositions have been suggested.
The first, which would undoubtedly be the
surest, and could be executed at the least ex-
pense, would be to close the bayou at Donald
sonville, by levee ACROSS its mouth. It is sup
posed, however, this plan will meet with great
opposition from those residing on the Missis-
sippi River, who fear it would operate 50 as to
cause greatly higher rise Of its waters, or an
increase Of velocity dangerous to the river banks
and levees. Although do not agree with those
who fear such 1 result, yetdue Difference to the
opinions Of those who are 80 vitality interested
prevents me from recommending this plan
The second plan suggested is the construction
Of lock at Donaldsonville, which shall admit
The Levees being ii great distance from the banks it
i proper that The dsa.gng capacity Of the bayou below
the Of the evess ut this point should be reduced to about
twelve hundred square feet
In comparing the results from this eoae section with
those of Others allowance must be noted for time eapse
and the rise during the time, which was one foot nearly
: tho Ieyee On right bank.
