ALL FOR WANT OF A LITTLE INFORMA-
TON,

The members OF the late levee conven-
ton took upon themselves great deal of
needless trouble to find out one or two
important facts about the Levee Company.
1t was at first assumed by the people in
the country that this company is a great
monopoly, with no other duty imposed
upon it than to make an estimate Of the
amount of money required by it for each
coming year, and then drawing the same
from the treasury. This version Of the
case has appeared in the country papers
SO often of late, and has even been copied
into the city journals that many very we'll
meaning persons actually believed the alb
surd statements. So, in accordance with
the Louisiana fashion Of doing things,
convention was raised, the members elected
and sent all the way to New Orleans
to express sort of concentrated in
dignation on the subject. The delegates
were not at all prepared for the truth,
and when SIr. Kenner dashed it on them
the other day it acted like cold shower
bath. Had these worthy gentlemen known
before they left home that the provision
made by the State for building and keep
ing in repair the levees is inadequate for
the purpose, they might have been pre-
pared to recommend supplemental plan
to complete the work. Had they been
aware that the much abused Levee Com
pany has already expended several hun
dred thousand dollars more than they |
have received from the treasury they |
would perhaps have come here prepared |
to blame some other parties. But as all |
these things had been carefully ex-
cluded from the country papers and
others upon which our rural popu-
lation generally relies for information,
they came down from the country with |
little walls of wrath filed with specific
which they were instructed to pour upon
the heads of corporation about which
they knew nothing except that it was in
some manner connected with building |
levees. When Mr.. Kenner, therefore, de-
monstrated that the company which he
had actually done much more
work than was contemplated by those
who represented the State, and had put
up three or four hundred thousand dollars
with very dim prospect of reimburse
ment, the country gentlemen began to
look grave; and when he imploringly
asked for somebody to come forward and
take this intolerable burden off his hands
at almost any price, they betrayed blank

Master James NJ. Vance, of this city, had
been nominated by the Hon. George L.
Smith cadet to the Naval Academy at
Annapolis. Since then the examination
has taken place, and we find, after reading
the report of the board of examiners, that

studies he stood at the head Of his class of
twenty-five, and won the favor of the board
by his gentlemanly bearing. He intends to
make another effort in September.

This experienced engineer affirmed the
entire practicability of the canal. he
says it depends sclely upon the capacity
of the ground to bear the guard locks upon
the banks Of the river. he expresses the
unqualified opinion that the mud of the
Mississippi may be excavated to almos.
any depth, and cites tie excavation for
the foundation of Fort Jackson which
''came frequently under his observation,
and he added, II am left in no doubt as
to the perfect practicability Of excavating
to the depth of thirty feet, and also of es-
tablishing solid foundation by piling, for
the support of the walls Of masonry neces-
sary for the construction Of lock-" This,
in our opinion, is decisive authority. 1t
is sufficient to justify Congress to enact
bill for immediate construction, with
proviso, if demanded, that the Secretary
of War may be authorized to forbid or
arrest the work should such incapacity Of
foundation be presented by the survey OF
location. Any way the representatives of
the people have generously bestowed this
work and expenditure upon Louisiana.
1t is not usual ''to look gift horse in the
mouth" still less to send him ungracious-
ly back into the stable. The amount Of
wages and provisions to be distributed
among our unfortunate laborers is OF great
consequence to them. We may con-
scientiously commence the canal without
further delay, and in behalf of our COM
merce and industry we ask that it be done
without further delay.
