psa- Our crops are suffering for rain,

EsA- Our crops are suffering for ram,
and unless we get a coed heavy shower
within q week or SO, the damage may be
serious. SO far our prospects are good
for the years cropping. We can almost
say our corn is made, aud as the cane
looks well, we begin to feel a little easier.
Our planters have acted wisely in plant,
ing plenty of corn and very little cotton
With full cribs we can laugh at famine.
Locusts and ~caterpillars may come now
if they feel like tive think We have
passed the crisis. What injury the To-
Gusts may do the cane-should they
make their appearance-we do not know,
but old planters tell us that in formers
years they did no damage to that crop.
From cotton nothing Of consequence Is
expected. The indications are that but
little will be realised, the worms and cat
erpillsrs having already attacked that
now growing, and destroyed it in many
places. Fruits promise finely, the trees
being fully laden in every orchard.

GRAND LEvEE.-We notice in the New
Orleans papers proposals to build this
enormous leyee. From experience deriv-
ed in previous attempts to make a per-
manent levee at this dangerous point, we
think the dimensions set forth in the pro-
posals of the Levee Board are too small
entirely for the purpose. A levee of only
one hundred and forty feet base, with a
height of sixteen feet, is not strong
enough TO resist the heavy current which
bears directly upon it. tbs has has been
the cause of SO many levees giving way
after the best and most skillful engineers
hsd pronounced them perfectly SAFE
We venture the prediction, from these
facts, that If the new levee should be
built of the dimensions proposed, it will
not stand, but will be washed away the
itst high water that against it
Add sixty feet more base, proportionately
more height and crest, and the chances
are in its favor. Too much money has
already been thrown away on this levee
experimenting with potatoe ridges.

The Crescent relates the following

There was something of a struggle for
the honor of nominating Grant at Chica-
go. AS Logan pronounced the name the
ladies sitting in the upper box, on the
right of the stage, set at liberty a pigeon
with blue wings, red breast and neck,
and white tail. Truly a strange bird, if
the observers had not known the feathers
were painted for the occasion. Immedi,
ately after the frightened bird had found
refuge in some nook, q magic scene APP
peared at the back of the stage-a pic,
ture oil the "Great Captain was u%nvail-
ed. A female figure by bis side pointed
to another seat, while the words match

song followed the result, and the yenera-
BILE Grant shed tears of gratitude.
