The IMMENSE Cosr OF LEyEEs.-ln the
two upper river parishes Of Louisiana,
says the Concordia I~ntelligcnccr, we
can gain an insight into the immense
expenses of levee building by a brief
extract from the proceedings of the
Board of Levee Commissioners:
The following report was presented
and adopted:
The special committee appointed to
report upon the amount Of taxes neces-
sary to be assessed for the present year,
beg leave to state that the amount Of
outstanding script at this date is $554,-
39T T6. The works now under contract
and those necessary to be placed under
contract, are estimated at $780, 600 for
|. the parish Of Madison, and $l04,5O0 for
j the parish Of Carroll. 70 protect the
: people from overflow and to pay our
debts should lie the objecto of this Board.
The credit system CT building levees
is most disastrous to the best interests
OF the people, and were we to carry ont
our W convictions as to the best policy
to be adopted, we would assess a tax
sufficient not only to pay off our present
indebtedness, but to pay cash for all
future work as it may progress. To dc
this might, in some instances, be op
pressive.
Your committee therefore deem it ex
pedient to assess only such a per cent
as will cover our present Indebtedness
and for that purpose ask the adoption 0
the following resolution which will yiel'
us $50, 934 SO, which is two and two
thirds per cent. on the assessed value 0
all the property in the District, but il
reality about one per cent. only on til,
actual value of said property. All o
which is respectfully submitted.
w. S. PARHAM, Chairman.
On motion of Mr.. Parham,
Resolved, l. That by virtue Of thu
authority vested in this Board of Leve'
Commissioners by the Act of the Legis
iature, approved March IL, 1859, tel
oents per acre be and the same is here
By levied and assessed on every acre o
a~lluyial land in this lerce district.
o. That an al valorem tax Of on,
thousand per cent. or the State and mil
tax DO and the same is hereby leviet
and assessed on all the property EN-
braced within the limits of this leve'
district, as per assessment rolls Of tn

TAKING RI PnnosoPn1cALLy!-"Oc Occasion
al" the Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press, who is no other than j.
W. Forney himself, writes thus complacently
of the result of the Pennsylvania election
Our readers will agree with US that there is
an unguency about the language which beto-
kens disposition to abide the result with the
utmost resignation: :" am writing this let
ter OH beautiful autumn morning, in the
city Of Washington, after having rad your
Geographic despatch, over and over, which
has been confirmed by the Baltimore Sun,
the Washington Constitution. and the Nation
al Intelligencer announcing the defeat Of Henry
ID. Foster. and the election OF Andrew G. Cur
tin, as Governor of Pennsylvania. There is
a bright sun shedding its effulgence into my
little room; the leaves are still green in their
mid summer freshness, and more than one
happy bird is sending forth its melodies !;
while the outside atmosphere is as clear and
AZ rare as If it had been breathed upon us to
make men joyous in their brief earthly career.
Not only have heard this startling news but
the town has heard it. The President Of the
United States, the o. p. F., and his constitu-
signs of woe in the faces Of the friends met
this morning. heard no threats that the
Union is to be dissolved in consequence of
this prcmonotory symptom Of the election Of
Abraham Lincoln. Men come and 20 as they
did yesterday morning, and it is evident
enough that, whatever may he the result Of
the November struggle there will be . suffi-
cheney of cakes and beer lett for you and me
until we are summoned from our mortal
sphere. This glad and lovely day laughs at
the threats of those who would dissolve the
Union on account of the constitutional cleo
ton of any American citiz.n 20 the Presiden-
cy; and will now predict to you, that days
before the Presidential question is decided.
We shall hear nothing of the destructive in
tentions of those who have ''roarcd so loudly
