The SNr LEvEE-One of the most i'm
portant projects for the welfare Of Pike
county, now in course of completion, is the
so-called Sny Carly Levee, on the west side
of the country. This levee is to be about
forty miles in length, and with an average
height Of seven feet, extending over nearly
the whole river side OF Pike county, and re-
claiming, if successful, 150, 900 acres Of now
useless land. Mr.. Leonard, the person in
whose name the charter was issued, has now
a force Of about one hundred hands employ
ed upon the work, which will soon be in.
creased TO five hundred, and the embank-
ments will probably be completed by De-
cember Of next year. He receives his pay
as follows: The State gives him all taxes on
the enhanced value of the lands in the bot.
tom for fifty years, and special tax, to be
assessed and collected from those lands. Of
$50, 600 per annum. The present valuation
of land in this bottom does not exceed fifty
cents per acre. The levee will make it
available for farming purposes, and it will
undoubtedly be as rich and fertile as any
land in the country; capable Of supporting
some twenty thousand inhabitants. The in
creased value will not be far short Of $50 per
acre. which, on the whole amount OF l5o, 900
acres, makes a total Of increased taxable
property in the country Of four million five
hundred thousand dollars. Our readers may
thus estimate the importance Of the enter
terprise to the country, and especially to the
property holders in the bottom. There
seems to be but little doubt of the feasibility
of the project, and Messrs. Ives McIntire,
Of Springfield, have contracted TO complete
the work by December, 1858. such case
there is fine opening for a town of conside-
rrble magnitude at the termination of the
Pike Bounty Railroad, opposite Hannibal, as
well as denseipopulaten through the whole
reclaimed territory.--Pike Co. Union, %.
