By dispatches from New Orleans, dated
Saturday, April 2, we learn that the river at
that point was higher than at any period
last year, with many crevasses reported be-
l1w Vicksburg. The breaks i'm the levees
will prove the safety of the coast and the
city of New Orleans II all the leyees were
to remain intact, the river would overwhelm
New Orleans, or sweep it from the face of
the earth. The Mississippi at Cairo, the
mouth of the Ohio, has been known to rise
fifty feet from low water mark. The greatest
rise at New Orleans on the other hand has
only been known to be thirteen feet, and
then the surface OF the river was higher than
the Level of the city. What would become
of the place if the river was confined by
levees above, aud it should rise twenty five
feet?
