WHITE HOUSE AsPIRAyTs.-The Gin
cinnati Commercial INDUCES in the fol-
lowing:
Presidential candidates are rapidly dis
appearing. James Buchanan expresses
his final and conclusive determination not
to be candidate for reelection. Henry
A. Wise has written one letter too many.
and is blown sky high. Gen. Joe Lane
has manifestly lost influence in his OWE
State. and will look in vain elsewhere for
support. We may look out for new
crop Of candidates.

Shy pigeons greet my view
Roybins the fragrant sassafrzI

And braks-Items. shaken by my tread,
Drop their round, slustering seeds.
On. few children Of the shade,
That pale, fantastic painter, Frost,
Warn eOlors with cold hand hath laid
Though rot lsafis lost.
Bood.drops here and there be seen
On the low sumachs vest Of green,
As fits heart Lad blsd;
And where tall naples form screen,
The grove is growing red.

Tha, well love to hear:
The squirrel, frightened by his song.
A nei.hboria- comield's elge along,
Races in wild dismay;
And startled crows, nnisy thTong.
Fly through the wool' away.
GA PAGERS, seamed BY paths Of sheep,
Fresh fr1m the baths Of gentle showers,
Are rivalling the Tsrdure deep
OfMays saehanied hours;
The Mushroom lifts its roof Of snow,
With ro,esle hanging driPed below.

All while his boughs wave 10 and fro,
Pail arorns from the oak.
Huge wains piled hi Oh with yellow maize,

One loving word for mel

With thoaghis Of former tiss-

The tenderness Of oldl

How gently! on to thine;

That was loved no more!

Adopting now the established rule seven feet base for every one foot in height and the top width the height, we will have, 203, 3,615 cubic yards of embankment-less 27, S27 cubic yards of old levee, leaving 175,7S8 cubic yards ot levee to be constructed, all in tim bered land at 20 cents per yard-S35,- loi 60-lOO, a result which is certainly favorable to the construction of this impor- tant levee
 By constructing this levee according to my survey as indicated by the dotted red hne on the map, you will secure Chicot county from inundaton, should the levees on the Arkansas river give way, and, you will also secure the most valuable lands. as far as levees can do it, from overflow.
 Embracing this opportunity, feel it my duty to acknowledge the good services of W. Il. Wilson, my assistant in the field, as well as his efficiency in the office.
 also wish to express my obligations for the generous hospitality shown to my self and party during our sojourn in Chicot county by the community at large, but particularly, l must express my thanks to the following gentlemen, Charles w. Camp bell, Marion w. Lewis, o. Bowes, esq, also Col. Wellborn and Dr. Wellborn, for their kindness and assistance
