NJ We reproduce this week an admi.
rable article from the st. Louis Rep1dH'
can upon the Congressional appropriation
to repair our levees. It is, unquestiona.
bly,, the interest of the great West to have
those levees repaired and maintained in
order almost as much rs it is our own.
We have seen but few Western papers
advocate this appropriation, most Of them
venting their spite and abuse 10 their col
umns upon US to the exclusion of more
important matter. A flew more such
staunch papers in the North and West as
the Republican would do much towards
breaking up the effects Of Radical hatred

~ The glorious weather with which
no have been favored for the past week
has instilled new life into our planters and
they have returned to their labors with
renewed energy. The fields are being
rapidly cleared Of grass. while the cotton
and corn have improved at least one hun.
bred per cent. With anything like rea
eonable weather from this time out, we
may expect to see fair crops made on all the
lands that were not overaowed, while il
would not astonish us to see even good
crops made on them, although rather
late in the season. But n more enemy
is to be dreaded this year and that is the
caterpillar. Should we be spared in thif
