Our BROKEN LEyEEs-The following
important disputch, says the n o. Times,
appeared in our editios of last evening.

The Mississippi and Louisiana delega-
lion called on the Secretary of War yes-
terdav, in regard to rebuilding the des
troyed levees. The President agreed to
send force for this purpose stating that
lis authority to 90 so was that these
States were under military government"
This movement on the part of the Com
mander-inChief of the Army and Navy Of
the United States is eminently just and
Iroper. 1t was as war measure that most
ii the levees were destroyed, and it is
certainly but fair to the loyal inhabitants
that they should be repaired at the cost
of the General Government 1t has
been decided to send a Commissioner
South, who ia on his way hither, and who
will proceed forthwith to repair the levees
which have been destroyed, leaving the
final apportionment of costs and charges
to be decided hereafter. In this, as In
other matters, President Johnson has
shown himself to be true friend to the |
Southern people, for without some sNch
aid as that row profered, the probabili-
ties are that the waters of the Mississippi
would run riot over our low lands for
another season. With complete resto-
ration Of our levee system, the staple
productions of the country would be 80

Down WITH TEE DoGsl-During the
past month the dog killers have taken
the bark out of Ais of various sizes and
breeds. About week ago a dog con-
fined in the pound went mad, and had a
jolly time biting his canine brethren.
Hydrophobia was rapidly disseminated,
and an acre of rabid dogs was visible at
glance. Tray, Blanche anl Sweet
heart, and all the little dogs, snapped
and snarled and foamed, and lolled out
their tongues in manner that alarmed
even Jacob Funfgeld, the great dog
slayer. Funfgeld, like a prudent Gen
eral, ordered an onslaught upon the
pack, and in a few minutes the ground
was covered with defunet dogs. We

They attempted to burn the dwelling of
