EVENING, MARCH 10

Yesterday wednesday, was a blus'
tery day. The wind was high, and was
particularly annoying to all who wore
hats or hoops--especially TO the latter.
Blcss the sweet ladies'! What a pity
that "windy weather" is so refractory to
the comeiiness and stability Of their
dress. 1t is a mystery to US how the
dearly beloved creatures, when fully
dressed, maintain their terrestrial footing
in storm of wind. We often look to
SEQ the next " fierce gale" lift them to
more appropriate and heavenly spheres
and sometimes our eyes have very nearly
realized their expectation. But while the
women could find protection to great
degree from the advantageous position Of
the houses, yet from the dust nothing was
exempt, and many an eye was no doubt
made TO blink, and long for that article
Of ladies' dress-a veil-that, to US,
seems altogether unfit to be worn only in
dust sto.ms. But fashion says different,
besides it helps to cover up many defect.
In the evening the wind abated, and
soon followed a drizzling rain, and a
change to a cooler degree in tho atmos.

Rapid Conquests.

Is there not too much effort made ia
society, by the fairer portion thereof, to
make rapid conquests, regardless Of a
limited acquaintance, with the strong
prey to DO brought down? Are not young
ladies OF our. day taught to consider that
the chief end Of woman is to make bril-
liant match, and secure proud position !!
Time was when into the matrimonial &C.
count there entered proper consideration
Of character and disposition. Now it
would seem that the careful notions Of
our grandsires are to be voted old fogyish
and decidedly slow. From the school
room, Miss Proudly Makehourish rushes
into the vortex Of fashionable society.
where folly with its hundred heads as.
sumes the dictatorship over the inexperI'
snced, and without consideration or
thought Of future happiness or misery,
commences series Of conquests, that end
in sore heart and disappointed hope, to
one or all Of the parties. 1t is not
strange, under existing customs and cir.
cumstances, that the daughters Of Ameri'
ca so frequently become hirts. There is
sort Of indigenous antpathy against the
estate Of ancient maiden ladyhood, that
impels beauty to conquest, whether the
object be worth the winning OF not. The
Indian, in his wild triumphs, boasts o.
the scalps dangling at his belt. Has So
ciety no savages who boast Of the hearts
bowling at their feet? Aside from the
cruelty OF the course that the female con-
querer pursues, there is positive evil
growing out Of it. Suppose. forinssance,
a man possessing every noble attribute,
with heart alive to tender Impressions
falls into the snare that careless beauty
spreads before him! He loves-but a
last wakes from the delusion, 10 learr
that his iondest feelings, his most noble
impulses, have been triAed with. HI
turns away. disbeliever in the truth o
woman, a scorner Of tho tender passion
In the future he can have but few word
of comm eadatioa for the sex, one Of who's
numbers had coldly betrayed him. Be
ware Of rapid cenquests.

Yesterday was trying day for the leyees which
wall off the waters from city and the plantations
in its neighborhood The rain fell in torrents and
the wind blew violently, so that the waters were
forced somewhat above their ordinary level. Within
the limits of Jefferson City there were no less than
three breaches in the levee of from ten to fifteen feet
each but az a close watch was kept, no time was
lost in the endeavor to close them, and fortunately
each attempt was successful. Between Pleasant and
Toedano streets at the upper line of this city, quite
stream of water is this morning running over the
top of the levee, but the earthen wall is too broad
and substantial to be carried away, and laborers are
now employed in raising the evee to a sufficient
height to prevent the inflow of the water.
Yesterday morning the river broke through oppo-
site Jefferson City, and though immediate attempts
made to close it, they proved wholly unsuccess-
tul. Before night the breach was widened to at
least $50 feet and every hour tended still to increase
its width. Through this wide opening flood of at
least twelve feet in depth rushed like young Ma
CARA presenting at the same time grand and fear
full spectacle. The whole plantation is converted
into vast lake, which is constantly enlargng its
borders, and will, in the of few days render
boat navigation necessary in the streets of Gretna,
NcDonoghville and Algiers The destruction of pro-
perry resulting from this crevasse will prove I'M
mensc.
There was a small overflow yesterday in the lower
part of the Third district but the Surveyors force
repaired the broken levee and far as the city
is concerned, No fears are at present entertained.
