NRw YORK. April 24.-The following mes
sage has been received here from Mr.. Van
Horn. Superintendent Western Union Tele-
graph Company
NKw ORLEANS. April A.-The creyasss
which occurred in the levee Of the Mississippi
river at Bonnet Carrie. above New OrleansI
some days ago. has been gradually increasing
in extent until it is now entirely beyond con-
troll.
Another dispatch from New Orleans says it
il now from six hundred to six hundred and
fifty feet wide. and vast volume OF water
rushes through with q roar like thun-
der. piling itself up in the middle in
the form Of an arch. Of which the center Is
Eve or six feet higher than the sides. The
torrent has cut its channel through in front Of
Battnre street fry feet, while steadily in
ereasing foot by foot.
The levee crumbles into its waters. Closing
this crevasse is beyond range Of possibilities,
continuous body Of water extends from
here to Lake Ponchartrain. and forming ruts
above and below.
The city Of New Orleans and Jackson rail-
road are considered in great danger. and the
telegraph lines are expected to 20 down every
moment.

The leave-taking Of Vice President
Colfax for the season reminds the New

the title of Vice President was under
discussion in the Constitutional Conven-
ton. Franklin proposed that he should
be termed His Superauous Highness "
II has never yet been ascertained why
this excreseence was placed on the face
Of the Government. He is Minister
without a portfolio. and he belongs
neither to the Legislature nor the Exc

The result of the recent local elections
in New Jersey are thus summed up by
the Elizabeth Herald, The town cleo
tons in New Jersey have been COM
pleted, all the cities except Elizabeth
and Newark, which vote in the fall, hav-
ing voted. The result in every instance,
except where the gerrymandering of the
late Legislature has caused misrepresenr
tation OF the political complexion Of
such cities as Jersey City, Paterson,
Plainfeld, ETC., shows large Democratic
gains, leaving no room for doubt that,
with unity in the Democratic ranks, we
shall carry the State by large majorities
at the next State election"

MEMPHIS THRArER. The Wyndhan
Company will present Robertson's cele
brated play-Caste tonight. tits need
less to say that Caste is generally admit
ted to be the chef d'ewre of the la
mented Robertson, and that 1t is splen
didly rendered by the Wyndham troupe
Captain Hawtree." George D'Alroy,
Sam Gerridge," Esther" and Polly
Eccles are presented in this favorite
comedy. The theater will be crowded
tonight. as in days past, with large
and fashionable audience.
BLIND ToM.-This great incompre-
hensible musical mystery of the nine
teenth century will commence series
of concerts at the Greenlaw Opera House
this evening Blind Tom is prodigy
in musical way and possesses talent
of the most wonderful character for mu-
steal notes. The most difficult pieces Of
music are played by him with ease and
rapidity. The Opera House will be
crowded by the lovers of music who are
anxious to see and hear this freak of
nature. s0 e
DRCAsTRo brought his remarkable
series of performances to termination
on Saturday night. The unusually large
audiences who attended Greenlaw Opera
House reached the point whence they
could "no further go I" at the matinee,
at which it is estimated between three
and four thousand persons must have
been present About half as many were
unable to gain admission, and consider
able money was returned to those who
could not obtain even standing room.
Gallery, family circle, dress circle and
parquette were crowded to inconve-
nience; the orchestra, corridors and
stage being well filled also. Such sight
was never before Witnessed in Memphis.
TIE house, viewed from the stage, pre-
scented the appearance of a gigantic
bouquet; the greater part Of the audience
being composed of children and ladies,
dressed in the gay0st attire, with only
here and there the sombre coat of man.
At night another large crowd greeted
DeCastro's farewell performance, which
gave the usual satisfaction. In his pro-
fession we think DeCastro is without an
equal, and certainly no other magician
could have drawn the crowds that have
nightly hocked to Greenlaw Opera House.
He leaves with the best wishes OF every
body, and is likely to be long remem-
bered.
BRooM s.-This favorite temple Of fun
was reopened by the manager on last
Saturday evening The Opera House
was crowded to excess by the friends of
Charley Broom. A fine troupe is per-
'orming nightly, and several new stars
ire on their way from the East, having |
,een specially engaged for the Opera
House by Mr.. Broom. Go tonight and
.njoy yourself.
