RAIN AGE ORT,

We take pleasure in directing the attention of
our readers to the concise, but lucdly written re-
port Of L. H. Place, ESQ., President of the Board
of Commissioners of the Second Draining District,
which is situated above Julia street, and comprises
all that section of our city and the parish of Jeer
son bounded by the upper line of the Jefferson
and Lake Railroad, and from the river to the lake
and the aforesaid street. The Board, of which Mr.
2. is the efficient President, is composed of those
well-known citizens, Messrs. J. U. Lavillebeuyre
D. R. Goodwin, William Freret, C. w. Moncaster,
and the presiding officer. The Board has pro-
ceeded under laws passed by the Legislature in
1858 and 1859; and a careful perusal of their re-
port will show that they have accomplished an
immense amount of good, which will be tluadrupIed
in the future if they allowed to prosecute the
works so auspicousy advanced to successful con-
clusion, which will be done in year or more, un-
less some ill.starred interference throws obsruc-
tions i'll their way.
The draining and reclaimng of the swamp lands,
within the scope of territory indicated, Will prove
Of immense value to those Immediately Interested
will promote the health of the peoylc-wil add
many millions to the aggregate wealth, and will be
of inestimabe worth in every conceivable respect.
Next to the achievement of our independence, we
look upon the thorough draining Of the whole city
as the first thing in Importance to this metropolis
The experience of the Commissioners of the
Second District has shown that this can be DONE
The facts are on hand, and cannot be controvered.
All required is the exercise of a due amount of
energy, skill and perseverance.
As it was not our intention to comment upon the
report, as it speaks for itself, will merely re-
commend all concerned who are not well posted,
to go to the office and consult the maps and plans
which will clearly demonstrate what vast amount
of beneficial work has been done, and what splen-
did promises the future holds forth. The President
and the Board are entitled to the high commenda-
tions Of the public.

The KEELAND FUND.-It has been suggested to
the editor of this paper, by Mississippi as well as
a Louisiana gentleman, that box be placed at
Strawberry Plains for the purpose of receiving
contributions for the benefit of keeland, who so
nohly defended the bridge. Every passenger will
thereby be enabled to contribute to the aid Of one
who fell exclaiming: q They have killed me, but
have saved the bridge!n

CAPTURE OF MASON AND SL1DELL-The Rich
mond Wing says:
This is pretty high proceeding towards the
English flag. The Yankees had as much right to
arrest these gentlemen in the presence of, the
Queen, in Buckingham Palace, as on an English
vessel on the high seas, passing from another
country than this to England. There might have
been some preteXt of right of search in case the
vessel had left our shores. But that pretext did
not exist here. The insalt is gross, fragrant and
inexcusabIe. But that's a matter that concerns
England-not ns.
