A MATERIAL DIFFERENCE.

The Times says there is plenty Of money
in this market to work the grain trade
We say there is such wonderful lack Ct
capital in New Orleans, that a bill of
lading for ten thousand bushels Of grain
could not be done in New Orleans, unless
at ex.ortionate rates and at above one
fourth of the value Of the consignment.
All our talk about capital is worse than
whistling through graveyard, because it
scares away men who might be tempted
to lend US some money. In fact it seems
that this Boosting is reflected in the fnan-
cial reports Of the day which represent
the money market as close, but capable
at ten and twelve per cent, when, if the
truth was told, the report would be that
the banks refuse thousands Of dollars of
good paper where they accommodate
hundreds. It is about time to come to
an understanding on the subject of our
cash on hand.

The RIVER LEVEES.

Governor Warmoth yesterday returned
to the city Of New Orleans from brief
visit which he considered it necessary to
make to the country parishes in the inter-
est of the people who are threatened with
| overflow if the river levees are not re-
paired before the regular rise in the Mis-
sissippi sets in. The Governor visited
Donaldsonville and conferred with the
planters and the local authorities of her
vile and Ascension parishes, and returns
with assurances from the people that they
will repair the levees and look to the
State for remuneration. The Governor
assured all with whom he conversed that
he would use his utmost endeavors with
the Legislature to secure to the parties
who repaired the levees full reimburse
ment for all their actual expenditures in
doing the work. Under this assurance
the riparian owners and the parish author
tiles are making every exertion to secure
the levees in such way as to avert any
overflow next spring.
There are one or two delegations in the
city from other parishes, engineering as to
what the the rights Of the police juries are
in the matter of making these needed i'm
provenents? All that can be said is this.
that there ;s no legal authority in the
Governor, or anywhere else, to authorize
the people or the local authorities to re-
build the broken levees; but there is a
necessity that the work shall be done, and
where this necessity is apparent, and when
the work is undertaken and honestly COM
pleted, the Legislature Will, no doubt,
provide way to pay for the same. There
need be no apprehension on this subject
in any quarter. The State can not afford
to be deluged for the lack Of authority to
to save himself; neither can she afford to
pay pay for work done to save
her.

But unfortunately for Chicago, her facili-
ties for conducting this immense grain
trade have been suddenly and seriously
crippled. She has been deprived of the
means Of conducting this trade, and it
viii be compelled to seek other channels.
The present time is most oprertune, then,
for New Orleans to put forward a vigorous
effort to regain trade of which Chicago,
through the energy and ENTERPRISE of its
merchants, had almost secured a mo-
nopoly.
In connection with this subject Gen.
eral Bussey, one Of our merchants, read q
supplemental report to the meeting of last
Monday night, showing that twenty-five
steamships drawing eighteen feet Of water
were built and in course of construction
by different companies in Europe, to take
the grain from this port; and these, it is
believed, are but the precursors Of many
others that will come here as soon as we
have provided lines Of barges to bring
the grain to New Orleans.
We are heartily glad to see our mer-
chants earnestly moving in this matter at
this time.
When such men as Mr.. q. NJ. Summers,
Mr.. Highly, General Bussey, Mr.. John
Phelps, MIR. Siexas, Mr.. Thomas A.

prise Of this kind, may we not feel assured
that the work will be done, if our people
will come forward and second their noble
efforts to make New Orleans the great
commercial emporium Of the Southwest?
Our property holders should at once
come forward and subscribe most lib
orally to the stock of the joint stock
company that undertakes this work.
We understand the books have already
been opened, and that most of the gentle
men present at the last meeting took
stock. There is no class Of our people
more interested in the prosperity of this
city than property holders, and they
should be anxious to help increase its
prosperity.
