The Baton Rouge Advocate, Of the 23t
ult, contains the following in regard to th'
levees:
The people resident in the large extent o
country subject to overflow are in state O
intense excitement about the condition o.
the levees, the progress Of the work or
Grand Levee and the rise in the river. Al
last accounts no water had gone through the
works. at Grand Leyee. although it is moi
possible for that fresh half built earthwof1 Il
stand If the river continues to rise five or SIX
days more at the present rate. The general
condition Of the old line of levees is firm and
good. although there are weak spots which
require attention which they probably will
not receive.
The Police Jury of West Baton Rouge
we're to have met yesterday and discuss o
resolution appropriatins several thousand
dollars to rebuild the Kinchcloe Lcvee and
strengthen other weak spots in the levees OF
that parish. On the lower coast some Of
the 'evess are already in danger and in St.
Charles crcvassc is hourly expected. A
heavy rise is still swelling in the Mississippi
from its source to its mouth and Red River
is full and rising at the rate of six inches
day with another rise above Shreveport.
The Arkansas, White and Ohio are how
ever falling fast aud if the Red commences
to fall within 2 week and freeze occurs in
the West we may be saved another disas-
trous overflow.
In an interesting letter from Honduras,
published in the Advocate some time since,
some errors were made in the publication
respecting the average productions of the
soil. In letter correcting these inadver
tant mistakes, the writer states THAT the
product of yams is 25 to 100 lbs. to the hill.
Of sugar, when the crop is taken off in sea-
son, 5000 lbs. per acre is made. Good, re-
liable labor cannot be had in the country and
laborers must be imported.
"The gnats are source of perpetual in
convenience and there is no escape from
their attacks the year round unless clear
ing is made at least one hundrad acres in
extent Honduras is without doubt, the
best agricultural country in the world. but
capital is required to succeed. With some
capital. any man With the least enterprise
can make fortune"
With all its rare inducements Of unsur-
passed wealth Of soil and products. healthy
climate and good government. we still CLAIM:
that Louisiana offers greater inducements to
its Inhabitants to remain here AID to these Of
other States to settle upon its soil. We
hope soon to present another interesting let
ter from Honduras from our correspondent
lib. K. Advocate.

Rates OF Interest.

Both branches Of the Ohio Legisla-
ture are being beseiged again, this
winter, by the money Shylocks, by
petition ard memorial, to legalze ten
per cent interest, on contract. The
prime move in this raid upon the
General Assembly, are brokers, mo-
nopolists and money kings The
greater proportion Of the capital.cfthe
land Is low concentrated in the East
ern States and if ten per cent, on CON-
tract, can be ~legaiized in Ohio, mil
lions OF boarded greenbacks would
find their way west; and the real es-
tate of the laboring masses be plaster
ed over by mortgages; while the East
ern Spectator and money loaner
would escape taxation and additional
burthens would be imposed upon the
industrial classes of the west. In
many parts of Ohio the people are
paying 81 per cent. on their valuation
IOr SldLe, COulttl, dAu IOC1A taAd
it is clear that the poor man fares but
i'll. To legalize ten per cent. and thus
place the laboring masses within the
grasp CT capital, would be to do the
rankest kind Of injustice to the money
borrower. It is the province Of wise
legislation to protect the helpless.
At six per cent. taking into consider
alton, Mortgages and the expense of
foreclosing the same, the unfortunate
debtor is compelled, too frequently, to
endure great wrongs. We trust the
present Legislature viii not infict this
great wrong upon the people. For
more than ten years the Republican
party feared such an ordeal. II the
people must submit TO such an infamy,
we pray this Democratic Legislature
to defer the passage of such a law,
till the Republican party shall be
guilty Of consummating ii.

secure first class men az Judges, We
would not objectto any increase no
matter how large, provided it would
secure to the State corresponding
ability. But when such men as Allen
G. Thurman, Thomas w. BARLEY,
Rufus P. Ranney, John A. Corwln
and VIM. B. Caldwell, occupied the
bench at a salary Of $500, while the
present Judges get nearly double that
amount, and arc asking in addition,
an increase nearly equal to the monnt
these Democratic Judges received, we
are forced to think that the rule has
been reversed, and the greater the pay
tho worse the Judges. Increase the
salary to $1,000. an6E Radicalisn
continues its rule, if possible, the
State may be ever worse served.
We arc decidedly against the in-
crease.
