1T IS well known that dikes and EN-
bankments were long ago copstructed
along Macy miles of the Lower Mis-
sissippi River, to maintain that diyi
sion between the land. and water re-
quisitc for pleasant and profitable
agriculture. The tickle river was thus
kept in its bed, and thousands OF acres
CO rich, lands were guarded from its
periodicals Ell croachments. Since the
wssr these levees have not been KEEP,
in r. rair for wsnt of interests and
means, and much loss to agriculture
has been the proposition before Con
gress contemplating the expenditure
of S35, OO0, 900 in constructing slevees''
from Cairo to the Gu,f. on both sides
Of the river, some of the Southern
papers declare that the levees are
cumbersome cOntrivances at best, and
of no practical use. i,,aezt
\ In support of this announcement
they say that the embellishments tend
only to raise the bottom of the river.
and that the Government might go on
building them eternally to constant

natural bluffs became low Alards. II

the river upoA.a mountain ridge, for
the building must stop some. time,
and then the ilDpetuOus torrent would
have its own way in the end 1t is
suggested that instead of embank-
ments built with, the fruitless pur-
pose Of preventing the nrtural flow of
water, the natural facilities for its
passage out to be increased. This it
is argued, can be done by asystem of
canals, connecting the various rivers
and natural interconrses with the
Gulf.
These would carry off the surplus
waters, and at the same time form
arteries of commerce into the whole
interior cotton regions of the South.
Floods would be impossible, and the
means of agriculture would be ill.,
finitely increased. The diffusion of
water surfaces thus caused would be a
great benefit to the quality and. guam
tity of produce, taking one year with
another. The facilities of Transports
tien would also he infinitely augment.

it is supposed, would do the great
burden OF the carrying twice as cheap

magnificent system of canals if it

and would doubtless work a revOlu-
ton in the commerce of the Mississip.

Carpet-Baggers in 1859.

1t is a remarkable fact that Garnet
bagism originated great many years
ago in Massachusetts. A venerable
pamphlet, bearing date April Is, 1859,
and entitled "The Declaration of the
Gentlemen, Merchants and Inhabitants
of Boston and the Country Adjacent"
gives an account of "the late revolu-
ton in New England" This paper
complains that Sir Edmond Andres
had been brought from New York to
be their Governor, and proceeds:
The Government was no sooner in
these Hands, but care was taken to
load Preferments upon such men as
were strangers to and haters of the
People; and every ones Observation
hath noted what Qualification recon-
mended a Man to publick Offices and
Employments, only hero and there a
good Man was used, when others could
not easily be had; the GOVERNOR
himself, with Assertions now and then
falling from him, made us jealous that
it would be thought for his Majesties
Interest, if this People were removed
and another succeeded in their room
And these far fetched Instruments that
were growing rich among us, would
gravely inform US that it was not for
his majesties Interest that we should
i, thrive. But of all our oppressers we
were chiefly sqnez'd by crew of alb
iect Persons, fetched from New York,
to lie the Tools Of the Adversary,
standing at, our right hand; by these
were extraordinary and intolerable
Fees extorted from every one upon all
occasions, without any Rules but those
of their own Unsuitable Avarice and
Beggary and even the probate of a
Will must now cost as mary Pounds
perhaps rs it did Shillings heretofore
nor could small volume contain the
other Illegalities done by these Horse
Leeches in the two or three years that
they have been sucking of us.
Persons who did but peaceably object
against the raising of Taxes without
an Assembly, have been tor it fined,
some 90, some 30, some others 81
Pounds. Packt and pickt Juries have
been very common things among
us
Some have been kept in long and close
imprisonment without any the leas,
Information appearing against them,
or an Habeas Corpus allowed unto
them.

AS President Mr.. Grant Especially
recommends favorable consideration
of the telegraph purchase. AS honest
Mr.. Grant if he bought one year ago
Through ''friendS" of ceurse) 5000
shares of Western UninD Telegraph

Ortli %, he has made four times his

er of his Office and the margin of pro-
If still remaining (nTa par sale to the
United Statcs) open to venal Repre-
sen,a,ives like the late Tiiad Stevens
and carpet bagging Senators.
Mr.. Grant stands fair to make his
office Just about twice rs profitable as
his reelection. Grant is II jobbe,. So
was Tweed. This is his tone. This
is his conception of public and private
morality. He is not indeed an abso.
lutte thief, but Grant, is fast becoming
II millionaire by precisely the same
methods which made Tweed rich be-
fore he Turned thief to become richer.
Grants Seneca sandstone job is a
"tlh w "VNN
quarry job. 1t is even more scandal"ns,
ia; che Seneca sandstone is miserable
&, 49,, costly, chips badly in cutting
and is not durable. Tweed's bluestone
was the best of its kind. Neither
Grant nor Tweed see wrong in such
use of official position for private profit.
Grants telegraph purchase job beats
Tweed's Country Courthouse job liol-
low. Tweea's Count. Court house job
hollow. Tweed's net profit of the &c.
600, 900. as trarted ir Mr.. Tilten's aifi
davit, is a fie.,-hite to the profit which
will go straight to the pockets OF
Grants 'next friends" when the Yves.

GRAFT will rank higher than Tweed
for distributing the cost of his private

But as between Grantism and Tweed

DIED;

La, PATRICK FLANNERY, aged :se3
years. rd-. rs 49, arr vgfs
1t may well and truly be written,
that good man, good citizen and
christian gentleman has gone to his
last home. Poor Pat! as he was ia
miliarly and kindly called by all, has
been resident of Alexandria since
1860, and had endeared himself, by his
department, kind acts and noble heart,
to one and all. We donht much
whether any one in our community, in
a. similar modest and humble sphere,
has left better and purer record than
him. It is useless to extend tributes
an such a man, where the community
attest to all the genuine worth we
trnthfnlly accord his. memory.
He leaves behind him widowed
wife and fatllerless child, who have the
entire sympathy of our people in their
sad and irreparable bereavement.
