Mr. EHitog-With reference to the levee
subject to which you ailude in your issue
Of the 2lst, you will please to state, for the
information of all concerned, that l, the
undersigned, am the civil engineer who
received the letters from a certain levee
functionary urging me to certify to meas
urements in favor of levee contractors
which ! did not deem compatible with a
conscientious discharge of duty or with
my ideas of public justice, and on account
Jof which, as I verify believe, was ma
n@uvered out of my situation as engineer
on the Point Coupe leyees.
In further connection with this, it is in
cumbent on me to say, that Col. +, L.
Claiborne, Of Pointe Coupee, is the func-
ctionary who wrote and advised me 30
urgently to certify to measurements which
deemed grossly erroneous and extrava-
CANT. Yours,

MAIL FALUREs.-We have had
to endure several newspaper mail
failures of late. On Friday last, the
Mollie Able, we learn, had a paper
mail for this city on board, but failed
to deliver it. She carried it farther
up the river, to give it the benefit,
we suppose, of a change OF climate.
40, Mollie e. that's bad for the
boat which, as the song goes, beats
the telegraph line"
The same thing occuyM again on
Sunday-the Olive Braeh, which
was the next boat due with a mail
(they send US only tri weekly one
now from New Orleans), brought a
bag with letters but left nopaper mail.
That, too, we presume, is to be
treated to an excursion to distant
parts, to be returned highly freshened
and improved by travel.
Such Vexatious failures are partic.
ularly calculated to disturb the
equanimity of editors who depend
upon receiving their exchanges in
due time for the purpose Of cleaning
from them such current items of the
day as may prove interesting to their
readers.
The mails at best, generally reach
us from New Orleans, after we have
been accommodated with the latest
papers by our friends the steamboat
agents and others. In fact, we
hardly know what we should do
sometimes for the want of news IA
cilities, if those courteous and consid-
crate gentlemen did not come to our
relief.
We understand that next month |
the mail contract is to be given to
Mr.. Mansfield, the owner of the New
Orleans and Vicksburg line Of pack
ets-the Fashion, the Gen. Quitman
and the Grey Eagle-when we shall
hope for greater punctuality in the
delivery of our river mails.

THE OUTLET SYSTEM.

ence of both practical and scientifi,
men, have thus far been signally
baffled in their attempts to contro
and keep within safe bounds thu
annually swollen waters of tn,
Mississippi by iSeans of levees.
We have, within few days past
had the pleasure of meeting with ar
old friend, Col. Stephen Van Wickle
Of the parish Of Pointe Coupee. Col
Van Wickle is widely known and
esteemed for his clear headed, saga,
cious and practical views on subjects
connected with matters of great
public interest and Importance. For
the last forty-six years he has re-
sided upon the alluvial borders of the
Mississippi, and has therefore had
unlimited opportunities for studying
the peculiar characteristics of that
stream at its various ordinary as
well as extraordinary stages. For a
great many years he has devoted
himself to the planning and con-
structing of levees-some of them on
an immense scale-as, for instance,
the Grand Levee Of Pointe Coup6e,
which was built by him years ago.
Having thoroughly and for so long
period of his life studied and tested
the levee system, he has come to the
conclusion that it cannot, without
some concurrent system Of protection,
be made efficacious for the purpose
intended. That concurrent system,
which he believes should be made
the chief one tor reliability, (the levee
system to be regarded rather as an
auxiliary, is TIE one known as the
lateral outlet system. Without this,
and with an exclusive dependence
upon leveeing, he contends the allu-
al regions Of the Mississippi can
never be rendered secure from inun-
dations. Levees after levees NAV
be built at the cost of thousands,
nay, millions of dollars of the peo-
pies money, as has been the case in
the past, and yet, after all, it amounts
to but one vast patchwork of con-
tinual reparation and rebuilding,
which must always be going on as
long as undermining currents and
exist and caving banks
occur.
Outlets, judiciously located, not
200 far down the river, would, in his
opinion, carry off the redundant
waters so as to afford permanent
security to the inhabitants of the
alluVial regions, and would prove in
he end UNNECESSARILY preferable on
he score of economy % the present
'uinously extravagant and efete sys-
EN- of levee protection.
Col. Van Wickle expresses it as
lis firm conviction, that under the
present levee system, the single
parish Of Pointe Coupe could alone
bsorb for levee purposes all that the
'tate,of louisiana could appropriate
or such objects for the next twenty
ears. A conviction of this nature,
oming from one so skilled and ex-
in levee building, might
yell cause our people or the powers
hat be, to hesitate in any future
Ian which seeks, by levees alone,
, give adequate protection to the
lluvial lands of the Mississippi.
We perceive that in other quarters
le system of lateral outlets is On
aging the favorable attention of the
ress and people. We hope there
ill be abundant good come out Of it. !
