goes to Vicksburg this evening on the

with cotton for that port.
We have received no exchanges since
Saturday, so that our news from other
ports is meagre.
There can be no doubt but we will have
q heavy overflow this season, possibly As
great as that of any year since 1874. The
large quantities Of snow which has fallen
all over the northern country can lead to
no other conclusion 1t would therefore
be to the interest OF al our friends along
the river 10 see that their levees are ia
order and that sli work sou 10 progress
upon them be pushed through with dis
patch. Our people have already suffered
100 disastrously ia the past six years by
war and its horrors, TO bear up under the
calamity Of a high river and insufficient
levee protection. Papers from all parts
Of the north speak Of the depth of the
snow as being greater than for very
many years. We hope that our people
will strain every nerve to keep of this
coming food of water.
