PERILous CONDITION OF NEW ORLEANS.

PERILOUs CONDITION OF New ORLEANS
The New Orleans papers represent the riv-
er in front of the city as higher than ever
before known, and running over the levee
in many places. Constant watchfulness is
exercised, to stop these overhows wher-
ever they occur.
From the Barracks down below, as far
as we went, (says the Crescent) the road
was muddy; the river being so nearly
over the brow of the levee, that the waves
of a steamboat would wash the water over.
The result of our whole observation was
that the Fourth was the district most Sc
riously menaced by overflow; the upper
part OF the First District almost as bad +;
the Second District less menaced than
either of the first named and the Third
District menaced least of all.
The Surveyors gang of laborors are
hard at work, raising dirt ridges wherever
the rising waters soonest call for them.
A rise Of one foot more in the river
would overrun not only three-fourths OF
the whole city 'front.' but the dirt-ridges
now made and being made
