PLANTERS AROUSED.

To stranger in Louisiana it seems ex-
ceedngly strange that the entire defense OF
property in this State should be placed in
the hands Of a small corporation, so to
speak, and entrusted confdngly to their
charge. That our levees are the only barriers
between us and ruin, during high water, is
most apparent and that they are to-day In a
shocking condition, is not less 50. On every
side we hear of serious defects being dis
covered and threatened breaks serve to
keep in constant dread the largest portion
OF our agricultural population, whose lands
are Liable TO overflow SO loud and decided
are the maedictions poured down on the
devoted heads of the Lcvee Company, that a
general feeling Of opposition has been
created, and we are reliably informed that
this has become centralized into an associa-
ton Of our wealthiest planters to oppose
compaDy's demands.
Above and below the city so defective
have the levees been found, private indi-
viduals and riparian proprietors have con-
sdered it absolutely necessary to take the
matter OF protection into their own hands
during the late rise, and to secure their
frontage for themselves. Slight dereliction
in official duties may be sometimes excused,
but there can be no possible excuse for
those who have the State at their backs
thus 10 jeopardize the growing crops Of our
planters and possibly their lives, for the
sake of returning them an addition to their
profits. The work performed under the
auspices of the Levee Company should be
thoroughly examined, not as official engi-
neers usually do, but with that jealous eye
of one who lives behind the muddy barrier
and whose property depends on it's security.
Ex-Governor HebeIt, OF the Levee Board,
could be of much more service to the State
were he within her borders, than he now is,
laboring in the cause of usurpation at the
North. We solicit communications relative
to the condition of the works erected by the
Levee Company.

The Courts.
First District Court.

Judge Abel was occupied this morning in
the trial of the case of the State vs. Lefevre,
charged with selling Havana lottery tickets.
The prominence of the counsel engaged in
the case is Indicative of the fierceness of
the coming battle. The jury We're being
empanneled when we closed.
Second District Court.
The following SUGGESTIONS have opened in
his court !: Esteban Del Modal, Ramon Del
Modal.
The trial of cases occupied the judge
during the day, no case of Importance
coming up.
Fourth District Court.
The father of his country, George Wash
ington, is addicted to drink. He has had
his eye on McCloskey's Soda and after en-
joying the sweets in anticipation for some
time, he entered and called for his tavorite
syrup. The waiter informed him that soda
water had riz, and asked five dollars for
glass. The dusky George Washington sut-
fered five hundred dollars worth in agony of
mind, and brings suit before Judge Lynch
for this sum.
Fifth District Court.
The popularity of Judge COLON has rather
crowded the docket of his court, but he is
daily reducing the number of untried cases
by rushing through a heavy amount of
work.
Sixth District Court.
Judge Sancier was engaged in disposing
of number of ordinary cases, none of
which of public Importance.
Superior District Court.
THE GAS LIGHT WAR.
Yesterday the Hon. Randell liant spoke
for a considerable time. Those present say
that his arUumpnt was n maStprpipce of
oratory and logic, being, too, replete with
brilliant sallies of satire and wit. This
morning Mr.. Randolph, for the Crescent
City Company, closes the case to-day.
Tomorrow being Good Friday, no court
will be held, and it is probable that when
they adjourn this afternoon, it will be until
Monday next

MODERN CHRISTIANITY.


Yesterday, i'll company with the doctor,
we visited the deaf aud dumb man, who is
dying i'll the dooIlesS, windowless hut we
described once before. Thanks to Mr..
ISham Cooper. we were enabled to take over
a good supply of provisions for the poor
people. The dumb man was in bed The
old woman says che has to stay there to

We asked her the following questions,
which we give with her answers

We could not help thinking how consider

j." Did he ever bring you food or clothing"
"No, sir; but he thinks Johns SOULS

The reader must pardon us; but a. this
point it required an effort to suppress a ten
deucy to swear, which we imagined we left
of at the CLOSE of the war.

asked, pointing to the thin cotton garments

Poor thing: she thanked us in her rough
way, and We left, promising to keep up the
work which few generous hearts have
helped US in.

brought with it quite large audience to
the Academy, which indeed offers such
tempting inducements to p!avgoers as to
make it especially worthy of the public's
patronage. At the rise OF the curtain the
| Waite sisters gave the audience an illustra-
ton Of Fact, Folly and Fancy. Close upon
the trail of which came Mr. Neil Conway
smoothly and gracefully gliding in to the
tune OF an Irish reel. Quilter and Goodrich
next took the floor, and evoked much
laughter with their ridiculous absurd ties
1T there is a fault to find about these gen
tlemen, it is that they do not give greater
variety of action. There is little too much
of the knocking down, and again and re-
peatedy knocking down, for a change AT
first it is quite funny, but will not bear too
much repetition, as it finally becomes mo-
nOtonous In turn, Miss Jennie En-
gle stepped to the front, and in the melo-
dious strains Of a sweet song, discOursed
about her militia Boy ard called upon
"Jack, Jack" to "come back, back" and
hear the little "dncks so quack, quack."
Here. by the way, it would hardly be fair
not to mention the gentlemen of the orches-
ira, who deserve especial mention for the
effective manner in which they rendered the
"quack, quack" chorus. One had but to
