!" Arr1orerr says he is we'll satisfied that
such q plan, properly carried out, would
PROVE a greatbenefit to the country, and We
think SO, foo. The rationale oE his plan is as
/ IoEloWs:
For ali levess f7cn, 9 to 9 feet in height,
without emhankment,E he would have cast-aron
braces, least after the most i'm proved meth
cd for strength) to be placed every 3 Or 1
feet apart. Then let there be iron plates
with cIasr-ii!se eacs. These plates to rest in
the gsouad to a depth of 6 inches Of more,
and lpon the feet Of the braces. Then give
q slope from the river say ona foot to three
feet in height, The seams where the plates
join, to be liled with hydraulic cement Of
lead, to prevent leaking. Such a 9evee, he
thinks, would be a great. saving Of land. aud
could be be put near the river bank where
levces ane not required to he very high,
For nil ievees over s feet up to IL feet
high, he suggest an efnbankment-of say 5
feet base for every foot in height, using cast
iron plates also for the whole height of the

q feet above the enhankment.
Ee thinks it strange that such 9 plan has
never been adopted on the coast w'here levees
are not as high as ours. and where it might
SO easily have been tested.
"Astnorer,'' who is not q river planter, ex-
presses, however, his willingness to give S.
90, if any gentleman in Madison or Carroll
will give 81 500 OR s. 600, to have this plan
tested in front of his piantation.
Should the Board Of Levee Commissioners
not see fit to test this plan, even OF a stnaIl
scale, We trust there will be planters who
will. There is a g~reatamount Of curiosity
excited on the subject, and many practical
and far-seeins md ividuaEs think the thing can
be done, and with for greater advantage and
uronomy ultimately, than have been realized
under the old plan.-Lohs Prov3dencs .HeraA

Co1ToN PEospEcTs.-For COM weeks past,
nays the Memphis Bulletin, of the 23d inst,
the hope has Been INDUCED that the present
years cotton crop, notwithstanding the over.
flow ct the Mississippi, would be at least an
average one Within the last week or two,
however, accounts Of a most unfavorable
nature have reached Us from many sections.
Mooh damage il being dane to the crops by
the rust and worms, and as August and Sep
TENDER are regarded as the most critical Pc
Rod Of the cotton season, and as the damage
has begun SO early in August, and as the dis
asters to cotton seem to increase as the coun4
try grows older we fear thatal calculations
Of q good crop viii be disappointed. Some
lew will doubtless make good crops--for that
u always the case--bat speaking generally,
thi1gs begin 10 look badly ior a good crop.
