LAKE, RIVER AND LEvEE.- Old POnt.
chartrain was booming Friday night and
for time threatened to swamp everything,
rising to point nearly as high as that OF
1871 This was caused by Q stiff north
wind, but last evening the water receded,
leaving the shell road end near Hoyt's
thinly covered.
Our river front is all right, and the mark
indicates more than one foot below the rise
of 1871. The levees on both banks are re-
ported as all right In the rear Of our city
there is but little water, and the draining
machines are equal to the emergency.
The New Iberia Sugar-Bo,rl says that
Captain P. Mullane has been ordered by
the Attakapas Mail Transportation Com
pany to take the small steamboat Teche up
to Plaquemine, there to receive mail matter
from river boats, in case the Morgan rail-
road should be interrupted by floods, IS
explained In the REPUBLICAN yesterday.
Good news comes from the jackson rail
road Colonel Frost, at Carriers Hill, look
ing after the roads interests, telegrsphs
that with two days Of fair weather trains
can be run through and be kept running.

Judge Hiestand's Lecture.

We regret to learn there was slim at
tendance at Lyceum Hall on Thursday
evening last to hear Judge Hiestand's lee
ture, the subject of which being the Missis-
sippi river, hsrs, levees, jetties and canals,
might we'll be supposed to embrace ques-
tions of vital Importance to our people, par
ticul arly at this time. Unfortunately the
evening chosen for the delivery of this lee
ture was the same one which the Thespians
had selected for their exhibition, which
doubtless had tendency to divert public
attention from the more useful lesson of the
lecture room to that which the Disciples of
Thespis were to give upon the streets. But
the judges audience, though small, was
highly intelligent; and, thus encouraged,
the lecturer proceeded to deliver his lecture.
He said that he would give at least the out
lines of his subject, so that those present
might have some idea of his views and ex-
perience. He then gave sketch of the
natural laws governing water and water
courses, followed by an account Of his
residence at the outlets of the Mississippi
river, and of his opportunities for making
observations Of its operations, together
with the result Of those operations, which
the lecturer declared to be in harmony
with the natural laws laid down. He &C.
coonted for the existence of the bars at
the mouth Of our great river, and
their permanency by theory
entirely new, yet, as he contends, in perfect
harmony with the laws of nature. The lee
tnrer then entered into q thorough exam
nation of the excavating and ietty systems;
showed their inapplicability as means of
improving the navigation of the Mississippi
at its mouth. for the reason that the forces
acting against them are too vast and power
full to be overcome by them. He next went
into an examination of the canal project as
q means of relief, and stated that, in his
opinion. that was the most feasible of all
the projects yet advanced, provided the
difficulty Of connecting it at its junction
with the river could be fully and peIma-
nently overcome. The lecturer regarded
this as the greatest difficulty to be overcome
in carrying out the canal project. He then
commented on the system-or rather, as he
said, want of system-Observed in con-
structing levees along the banks of the Mis-
sissippi, and of the relief to be obtained
from outlets to the same.
During the delivery of the lecture, the
lecturer was asked many questions, by
members of his auditory, all of which he
readily answered.
At the close of the lecture, the gentlemen
present were unanimouS in the expression
of their satisfaction at having heard the
views of Judge Heistand upon the very i'm
Dortant questions that formed the subject
of his discourse; at the same time signify
ing their regret that more were not present.
to be enlightened upon a subject of such
general interest, and expressing the hope
that the lecture might be repeated for the
benefit Of the public.
The lecturer replied that he would most
willingly resume the subject on q more
Suspicious occasion. t'a

The calamity which has % unexpectedly over
taken our State when al indications pointed to .
speedy renewal Of agricultural and csmmsfeiA
prosperity. calls for the highest exercise Of Your
Judgment, forbearanco and humanity. -
The State government has done and is doing n
that its resources will allow to alleviate tho suffer
ngs Of those who have been reduced to destitutton
by the disastrous creyasses in the levees Of our
great rivers and by the foods consequent upon the
recent heavy ram storms.
Regulations hsve been made by the state an
thorities and bv our Representatives in Congress-
upon the general government for Immediate aid.
and have reason to believe that the acquisitions
thus made viii be promptly responded TO-.
The Mayor Of New Orleans, the president Of tho
Chamber of Commerce. and well chosen commit
tee of distinguished citizens doing all that can
be done to send immediate assistanc to those most
need Of 1t, and the appeals that have been made
to the great cities Of the North East and West win
doubtless in due time, bring generous response.
In tine meantime, let me epjoin upon you pa
tience, foretbOught and confident reliance upon
those who have undertaken to avert as far as pos-
e1be, 1he evils WnlCn now tnre oton you. H.
Supplies of money food and clothing win be
forwarded to you without one moments unneces-
sary delay. To send your distressed population to
this city, already overcrowded with unemployed
people. will only embarras the efforts that arc
being made for your relief #s-at q
recommend that you organize in each parish
committee Of trusted citizens who will undertake
the proper distribution of tho supplies sent For
ward the nsmes of the committees 90 organised at
once to the president of the Chamber of Com
morce to the Mayor of New Orleans. to the chair
man of the relief committee Il. N. Marks ESQ } or
to myself. Az far as possible enable the laborers
of the inundated districts to make their way to
those parishes which are not under water where
their labor is still needed and will meet Just re-
payment. Relax no efforts to diminish and control
the overflow, which now afiicts you, and it may
be that even out Of this dire calamity some good
may come. through the attention of the. nstton at
large being painfully concentrated upon the
question of making the building and maintenanca
of the evees of the Mississippi also the preser
walton of proper outlet for the river, national
work. -

THE LAKE SHORE PROTECTION LEvEE.-
The strong north wind of Friday and the
severe trial. The wind blew gale, lashing
the turbid water into foam against the
revetment. The embankment along the
new canal, say from the revetment to the
canals mouth, q distance Of 300 yards, was
nearly ruined by the storm. The new pro-
lection levee, now in course of construc-
ton under the supervision of City Surveyor
Bell, has stood the test OF the worst storm
since 1871, and can defy Q worse one. This
great enterprise, when completed, will give
positive protection against lake water; no
matter how strong . gale pipes. The top
of this levee is several feet higher than the
Metairie ridge and almost as firm, and
every year will become solder. Old Point
chartrain, in its worst mood, can not
DESTROY it,

A SUGGEsTIoN.-Ith has been suggested by
prominent fremen that the city detail one
of its employees to take especial charge of
the different fire wells-mean water wells
as the companies, ON several occasions
lately, have experienced considerable
trouble in opening them when in q hurry,
and it has occasionally happened that the
wells were out of order just when most
needed.
Had there been a we'll in the neighbOr-
hood of the Prytania street fire yesterday
much valuable property would have been
saved. Indeed, the price of property
destroyed by fire in that section within q
month would more than pay tor many miles
of pipe. If it is possible for the city to
make some improvement for the people in
the Fourth District we hope it will be done.
