BL Up to the time of going to press
yesterday, the latest intelligence from the
CHM and Robertson levee. reports work
progressing with great rapidity. The
planters Of the neigbborhood have turned
out their hands. to work upon it !; some
giving n day, others two, and so on to
prevent, if possible. a break which the
present rising Eof the river seriously
threatens. Injustice to the contractors, we
believe the work would long since have
been finished had the proper means been
furnished to pay as they went, and to
give proper accommodations to laborers.
There has been fault somewhere in the
management Of this business, which IS re-
ally criminal, but where to lay that fault,
we cannot ct present determine. W. can
only hope that our parish may be spared
an %inundation this year, as the mainte-
n of many families depend upon the
crops now planted.

OuR PRospEcr.-It is quite q pleasure
to ride through our parish and witness
the amount of land now under cultivation
ia cotton and corn with here and there .
~sprinkling of the crop which once made
Louisiana the richest and most prosper
ous State in the South. Could labor be
procured enough to satisfy the demands
Of our planters, nearly all the cullivable
lands Of the parish would be teeming this
year with the richest products Of the soil.
The foolish belief prevalent among the
freedmen that the Government intended
dividing the lands between them at the
expiration Of the last year, induced many
to hold back from making engagements
until late in the season Of this year Disa-
bused Of that idea, they have gone to
work, som for wages. other. for shares
in the crop, and soon; and they appear to
be .contented-are working well-and
few complaints are made so far as we have
been able to learn. As affairs exist now,
they promise well for, the remainder of the
year, and if our planters will only treat
them we'll, giving them all proper eucour.
agement, there is no reason to doubt, but
that they will be enabled, from this fact,
to procure all the hands they may require
for the next years planting, and perhaps
commence once more the cultivation of
sugar.

The REVOLUTIONARY MovExENT.-The
Radicals Of this city have started Their
new plan, recently forsbadowed in the
New York Tribune, for reconstructing
the South. Our contemporary, the Bee,
has obtained the following extract from
the proceedings Of a meeting held or
Thursday evening by the " Universal Suf
frage Committee" The resolutions arc
identical with the programme printed iu
the Tribune:
Mr.. Warmoth offered re%solutiona which
provide in substance
1st. That the President of the Contra
Executive Committee issue bis procIama'
ton calling upon the people to elect del
|egates, on goth of April next. to a State
Convention to assemble in New Orleans
on the lst of May. with a view Of forming
a Constitution and preparing the organi
cation Of q State Government in harmony
with the Government Of the United States,
preparatory to the re-admission Of the
State into the Union.
I'd. That q committee Of three be ap'
pointed to appropriation the number OF
delegates for the several parishes, and
determine. the qualification of voters,
etc. 4"aE Sf2s 50 r.>. s
After some debate the resolutions were
laid over till next meeting.
It will not be at all surprising if Con
ventions and elections are held, after the
fashion of the one at which Mr.. War.
moth was made Territorial Delegate
to Congress, and a new batch of would-be
ION congressional Representatives sent to
Washington. The Radical majority in
the National Legislature may eve 60 60
far as to admit them to seats in the Hous.
es. and to a voice in their proceedings
10 such an event we may witness a resli-
cation of the scene outlined not long ago
by a Western Contemporary, to wit Pre-
sideot Johnson calling together the bona
fde representatives of the Southern States
who would be joined by conservative Re
representatives. from the North, this body
to be recognized BY the Administration
as the legitimate Congress Of the Nation.

"To you who do not desire these reforms
or any of them, I say frankly it is Of no
Importance by whom, or when or how, re-

short years this whole government will
be in the hands of the late rebels and
