MORE ABOUT LEvEEs. A Verrebonae
correspondent Of the N. O. Bulletin, over
the signature Of Planter" writes As
fellows /: w5s,
There is another subject Of vital i'm
p%ortance to all sections Of. Louisians. and
about which the people begin to inquire
with much solicitude. / refer to the
levees. This is the time to repair dana
ges and to extend the work. Is anything
going to be done in this business p
Where is Kennedy. that prince Of levee
builders |? Lot the Levee Board set Ken
nedy to work or the section connecting
Grand and Aorgsnza levees at once
take the responsibility and it is not to be
doubted that the next Legislature will
confirm whatever is approved by the
Board in the interest of the suffering
people. 1t is understood that the Gov.
ernor is strongly and earnestly favorable
70 lois measure. & 81: srss
1t is very evident that /" Planter " lives
10 the " back settlements" Those living
upon, the river banks and to whose care
tie building and repairing of levees is
entrusted, have not the remotest idea
that anything will be done by the Board
OF Public Works this year, or that Mr..
Kennedy. or any other contractor can be
found willing to take work under promi.
ses from that august and efficient body.

Warmoth is favorable to any measure
upon the levee question calculated to re.
lieve our suffering people, as be has often
expressed q desire to do 60, but under
present circumstances, he is powerless.
What the Legislature can Or will do. is
beyond all human. ken now. SEE -

A BRIGHT PAklsH.--Ihe police Jury ol
Point Coupee has covered itself with i'm
mortal glory-nay, sbrouded itself in wis
dom that will be handed down to future
generations as one Of the brightest bodies
that ever existed. They have actually
determined, after much deliberation and
profound reflection, to permit their parish
to be overfowed at the mex high water
We have nothing to say against this
very sensible proceeding-being perfectly
willing that they shall do as they please
under all circumstances but, unfortun-
ately, while booming themselves to such
a pleasant operation, they include other,
in the benefits. At the last session OF
the police jury q resolution was offered
to assess q special tax Of eight thousand
dollars upon the property Of the parish
to repair the Racourci levee, which is in
a dangerous condition. After some dis.
c%ussion it was agreed to lay the matter
over to the following day, for reasons
which were not mentioned. The next
day the resolution came up and a motion
was made to reduce the amount to one
thousand dollars. To this reduction, a
member proposed TO add one hundred
thousand dollars for repairing Grand
Levee ; ten thousand dollars to repairing
a dyke in the 10th ward, and ten thous.
and more to repairing the Red River
Landing levee. These fabulous amounts
had the effect of killing off the FIRST nam
ed resolution. and so the whole matter
was laid on the table where it is likely to
remain. Not a word was said about the
levee that was down last spring, nor any
reference made to it that we can learn
from the published proceedings. As the
jury adjourned sine die, it is probable that
no action will be taken to close the break,
unless a special session is called, and even
then according to the spirit so far shown,
there is but little hope Of definite action.
The reader Gao draw his own conclusions
as to the suicidal course Of the police jury
Point Coupee. That body Of citizens,
who lack neither intelligence or expert.
ence, should deliberately triae with their
own and their constituents interests, is
something we cannot understand. There
is now no probability that the crevasse
will be closed this year. unless the Board
of Public Works can contract with some
willing to take the chances of
payment when there are funds on hand,
and the hope from that quarter is slight
in the extreme.

George Peabody.

The telegram from London, informs
us that the Bishop of London preached
the funeral. of George Peabody at West
minister Abbey, on the 18th inst.
The Bishop said in his discourse =
"No untitled commoncr has ever gather
ed such concourse of sincere mourners
around his grave, He labored to relieve
the wants of the poor and by them he
was beloved, as by all those who sympa-
thize with poverty and honor bencvo,
lence. 1t was his bcnevolence. 1t was
his business to gather and his Joy to
give. Two nations will ever reverence
his name, which forms another bond of
union between England and America"
tGrahd and stately euology from the
mitred priest of England, noble lauda-
ton spoken in the grand altar of West
minister Abbey, ,9and resounding through
the aisles and among the arches of the
Church of Englands mobiles and cchoing
among the vaults where her kings arc
sleeping.
Grandly dirgcd the organ in conso-
nance and responsive to the spoken Gu
logy, and as it difgcs' through the dim
aislcs and struck amid the fretted arches,
it seemed to chaunt his funeral praises.
Vast was the ,throng, and high born
lords and ladies were there to weep
around his burial.
But greater honors are his. The poor
made happy by his bounty, the sick, re-
stored by his kindness, the sad, rejoiced
by his charity, these all as they utter his
praises in their hearts and on their
knees, these tell his grandcst culogy (.
and the grand songs Of praise and plaud
its, ringing through the arches of Heay-
ems own temple, this will be the grand
est cnlogy this will be the grand music
of his dirge, these the honors that are his.

One summer eve, long, long ago,
We two were walking hand in -hand
Where soft waves wandered to and fro,
Tapping the pearly, glittering sand
Behind us lay green meadows, starred
With clover bloom, far down the lea;
Before us, flushed and emerald barred,
The restless, painting, white-haired sea.
What wonder when loves witohery came,
And touched with fire our glowing lips,
E'en as the ruby sunsets flame
Lit up the far-off gliding ships
That we should clasp our golden dream,
And think it must forever last
How could we know twas but CLEAN
OF silvery pinions fitting past?
