Mir. CoLLINs' BENEFIr.--The performances at the
ST Charles Theater this evening" are for the benefit
of Mr.. Collins gentleman whose varied and able
presentations during the time he has been with us,
have won for him large amount Of welldeseryed
popularity. He has evidently endeavored, by study
and observation to render his acting accordant to the
idiosyncrases Of the characters presented, and to
give full and round embodiment of their natures
the angles and salient points which distinguish one
man from another, and to show how, under certain
circumstances, each would act and be acted upon.
We trust that our citizens will turn out in sufficient
numbers to render the occasion approximately prota
bic to the beneficiary, as he wlrender it pleasantly
agreeable to those attending.

The High Water.

According to all the information we receive from
the telegraph and the newspapers it is quite clear we
are to have extraordinarily high water this season.
There seems to be general feeling of apprehension
throughout the lower valley in regard to crevasses
and overows although that feeling has not led to the
commencement of precautionary works. so far as we
are advised.
An immense amount of snow has fallen the past
winter on and adjacent to- the greater and lesser tr
butares of the Mississippi river, and along the Mis-
sissppi itself as far down Cairo. The upper streams
have all been frozen, navigation suspended and ice
accumulated in quantity and thickness to an extent
not paralleed within quarter of century.
p That ice has broken and is breaking up, and that
snow is melting and there many alarming indi-
cations that we must be prepared for higher water
than existed when scores of plantations were over
flowed and a large portion of the city of New Or
leans was submerged Nearly all of the tributary
rivers full and rising, and the Lower Mississippi is
rising with dangerous rapidity. The Vidalia (Concor
dia) Intelligencer of the Goth ut states that the
river is swelling at that point at the rate Of two feet
each twenty-four hours! Should it continue to rise
| at this rate for very few days, numerous points
above and below will be in imminent danger of over
flow, and it will require great energy and unceasng
care to protect them even if the city be not placed
in some jeopardy, which is not beyond question by
long odds. At all events, it might be well enough fol
the authorities to look to the matter and be
for any emergency that may arise. Have we any
protection levee worth straw?
We urge upon our country friends to look we'll t.
their leyees-to repair strengthen and elevate them
wherever it may be deemed necessary-and to Eexer
i else an unceasng surveillance over them The labo
and money will not be thrown away even if the floo
greatas there good grounds to anticipate
and if it is, they may prove invaluable and impree
nable bulwarks to shut out devastating overflow.
