IMPRovEMENTs.-Maj. Burlington,
the gentlemanly commander of the
the U. S. Arsenal at this place, is
having the grounds belonging to his
department enclosed by new, neat
and substantial fence, to replace the
one which stood there before the
war. Soon, the military earthworks
engirding the grounds-unsightly
mementoes of the trying past-wlll
be leveled to mother earth, and the
old garrison lane" SO long the
favorite promenade Of our citizens,
and formerly used as a public high
way, will once more be thrown open
to the public.
A number of other Improvements
are going on, mostly in the lower
portions of our city. Mr.. McVay
has nearly completed a fine large
two-story frame dwelling on the
corner lot opposite to the southeast
corner of the State House grounds.
Mr.. N. Wax is progressing bravely
with his new large brick store oppo-
site Court House square, and num-
her of other buildings in the same
faubourg are in course Of erection or
reparation.

The MISSISSIPPI LEvEE CUES
TON IN THE HoUsE-Gen. Banks
Position In the House, Mr.. Ste
phens, from the Committee on appro-
priations, repored back the Senate's
amendments to the civil appropria
ton bill. The first question that
elected debate was the recommends
ton Of the committee to now concur
in the Senate's amendment appropria-
ting $1,5OO,000 for reronstructing
and repairing Ievees on the Missis-
sippi river, in the States of Louisiana,
Mississippi and Arkansas,
Mr. Kasson spoke in favor of the
amendment, and Mr.. Stephens and
Mr.. Kelley against it.
Mr.. Stephens described the propo-
sition as a most shameful demand of
the rebels.
Mr.. Banks declared himself in ia
vor of the Government undertaking
the management of the Mississippi
river; but he was not in favor ofthe
Senate amendment. He argued that
the proper way to guard against in
undaions of the Mississippi river
was not through the levee system,
but through the system adopted by
nature herself there--the opening
Of the rivers and bayous which flow
out of the lower Mississippi. The
effect of the levees was to raise the
level Of the river, and the danger
from that system WAS that single
rain, in single hour of the night,
could open the lrvee and deluge the
whole country. But be would re-
quire that the provision of the Con-
stitution which requir' d rrpubl can
form of government should be com
piled with hefore the people down
here received assistance from Gov
eminent. When they placed them
selves on loyal footing, he would be
in favor of appropriatipg to this pur-
pose-not a million and quarter,
but twenty FIVE million dollars.
Amendment to the Senate in ref
erpnce to the leyees was not non, con-
Cured in.

In the last battle, which was victo-
rious up to 3 o'clock in the after
noon, the enemy had three times as
many killed as the army of the
North, lat some points the dead lay
in such heaps that it looked like
hills painted blue and red, and the
killed and wounded did not lie, but
leaned against each other), but the
latter had three or four times as
many wounded as the enemy; but
as to these, the proportion of slight
to severe wounds was like 7 to l.

WHY OLD GENERALS SHOULD NOT CON-
MAND.-The following note is published in
the London Times:
To the Editor of the Times:
Sri take advantage of your admirable
summary of the Austrian military history.
in one of your leading articles of this
morning, to point out a truth which, after
some reading is deeply impressed on my
mind as justly dedncible from the history
of the German empire, as of every other
military State, and which would earnestly
impress upon British public men, that no
army in the field should ever be entrusted
to general above fifty years Of age.
Wurmlser, Meles, Mack. Ginlay and Ben
edek names selected by yourself are all
examples of sexagenarian or octogeEarian
leaders, under whom the Austrian arms
have been successfully oversh allowed;
while, permit me to remark, they shone
forth in brightest splendor under Eugene,
of Savoy and the Archduke Charles, both
men of about thirty years of age. Our
own great Duke and Napoleon sheathed
their swords, after unexampled careers of
glory, at forty five years of age; and all
their lieutenants we're persons in the full
enjoyment of manly energy and activity,
while the rank OF file OF every army are
men of the same stamp.
"Let us be assured, from the evidence of
all history, that however many exceptions
may prove the rule, no general, be his ex
perience what it may, be his strategetical
knowledge ever SO sound, can ever COM
pete in the field with the fresh morning
OF mind and muscle.
81 am, sir, your most obedient servant,
edward GUST

~- The Round Table COMPLAINS

o. The Round Table complains
that the authors Of the country are
doing little or nothing to elevate the
character of its letters. It offers the
highest prices to the best Boston
writers, but they are either above the
necessity or too indolent to work, or
their time and talents are mortgaged
to single publishing house. It asks !:
Who will come forward and inau
gurate new era of bold, electrical,
impressive writing? Who will give
us something fresh to read, something
strong to influence opinion, something
which is not after the old platitudes,
something that reflects in measure
the true genius of the republic?

no intimation as yet of this having been
done.
The government has announced its in
tention Of prolouging the suspension Of
the habeas corpus act in Ireland.

their position. There are we'll grounded
hopes that the truce will be prolonged into
definite peace.
On the 25th suspension of hostilities
was agreed on between the Italians and
Austrians.

millions of dollars to her adversaries as
their expenses of the war; the German

CALoRIc.-The heat in this region
for the past few days has been in
tense. During the first two summer
months we had it rather pleasant,
while in the North and West they
were sweltering in heat, the tenn
perature of which as indicated Their
numerically, ranged among the COS
aud sometimes reached as high as
from 100 to 106 in the shade. This
beats anything we have had here in
the shape of heat this summer, the
highest temperature we have yet
seen indicated by our Fahrenheit, "
in the shade, being SO, and this
only since the dog days have set in.
Yet this we call fiery and intense by
way of contrast to the temperature
we were favored with during June
and the greater portion of July.
Those persons who went North
during early summer, expecting to
find a more congenial climate, missed
it considerably; for they have had
it really scorching there, the weather
having been hotter and lasting longer
than has been known for more than
thirty years.

THE CHoLERA.-This much
dreaded pestilence has made its ap-
pearance in New Orleans in virulent
form. The majority of cases is found
among the colored population, who
seem peculiarly liable to this dis
ease as they were to the one lately
prevalent in this countryside small
pox.
We hope that there will be such
sanitary precautions taken every
where as to prevent the cholera from
assuming an epidemic form. 1t ha>
b en in existence for sometime in
New York, and has also appeared on
vessels at different ports along our
Southern coast, but in no case as
yet, has it spread beyond certain
limits of its origin or introduction,
and only thrn, when from the filth
ness of neighborboods, Irregularities
Of habit and excessive indulgences
and exposures, an easy inroad was
offered to the disease and ready sub
jects found to minister to its insatiate
appetite for human victims.
Cleanliness, which ranks next to
goodness, calm temper and regular
habits-these are considered proofs
against the insidious pestilence that
walketh by MONDAY, night and at
all seasons. Let the inhabitants
generally of Our city adhere strictly
to the above simple code, and the
cholera, if it does visit US, may at
least be disarmed of much of that
power which rendered it during it's
visitations here in 1882 and 1S48,
SO terrible scourge.
