{ioO and aavs.

| The Mississ,ppi Valley and the Levees.
The New York Herald discusses this ques
ton and says:
We see the question of retaining the
fertile flats of the lower valley OF the Mis-
sissippi is attracting the attention OF Con.
press. 1t seems that the State of Louisiana,
acting on the recommendation OF the Lou
isville Commercial Convention, has char
tered joint stock company, charged with
the duty of reconstructing the embank-
ment of the river, in order to secure this
prolific region from overflow. The law III
cooperating this company gives it an annu-
al revenue for twenty-One years, derived
from taxation on the protected lands and
their productions, which is to be collected
like State taxes, and placed in the treasury
to the credit of the company. The main
idea in the law is to bring to bear on this
matter of the levees of Louisiana the ener-
gv, thrift and economy of private enter
prise.
In its connection with the cotton supply,
this work of protecting the rich savannahs
of the lower Mississippi becomes matter of
absorbing interest. When we consider the
immense effort which England has made,
especially during the last ten years, to grow,
cotton throughout the world, we may well
regard with favor all enterprises to preserve
that monopoly in the plant which our trans
atlantic friends are trying SO hard to Wrest
from us. It is computed that an efficient
system of levees would reclaim and protect
from inundation in the State OF Louisiana
about twelve million acres of land, one-half
of which Is suitable for sugar growing, and
the other halt adapted to cotton.
All the development that this fer
tile territory needs is to be guarded
from the floods of the river. 8; with a, suc ca

hand in th;a matter. For now over eight
years this magnificent empire, for it is. one
in its resources-has been at the mercy OF
the Mississippi floods, and all who cultivate
there have had to do SO at their peril: 1t
is not only the duty of Congress. but It IS
the interest Of the government. and OF the
people at large. that every aid should be
extended to accomplish this great work.

The WoRKHoUsE FIRE-The story con-
corning the manner in which the Workhouse
carpenter shop was fired, by some one
throwing gre bail on the roof, is rather.too
tough for instant swallowing. 4 tale that
the telegraph wires had been cut is untrue, for
the alarm was sent from the box near the
Workhouse door. The two Black Marias
were pretty well cooked and fumigated, and
the harness destroyed. The loss as stated
Sunday morning was too large, as eight
thousand dollars will probably renew every
thing
