Condition Of the Levees.

General NJ. JEFF Thompson reached the
city yesterday evening, after making an
extended examination of the levees from
Red River to Plaquemine in sklff, and from
the latter point to the city by steamboat.
He reports that he found imminent danger
at Hog Point and staked out a new work
TO be built there. At Morganza the ends
were measured fer protection. At Red
Store he thought the work would have to be
extended. At Point Coupee the temporary
levee is nearly completed, but will ulti-
mately have TO be extended. The Point Ma
rion levees are completed. and the Longwood
and Hereford levees are completed; and on
the LobdelI levees three different gangs
are working with sufficient force to com
plete them in time. The Patrick levee and
the Walker levee will be done this week.
Tie Eebert leree will be completed in a
few days. Opposite this work are the
dangerous points on the Arlington estate
belonging to the late W. S. Pike, and the
break on the Conrad point. At the Hickey
levee the line was extended 1000 feet up
ward and drainage bitches planned. At
Australia plantation the levees were ex-
smined and found very defective, and at
he Truilhet levee the break of last year
vas nearly completed, and the Schleatre
vas completed.

into the report he signed, and to the state

fourth of January, and described, to show
his sdisinterestedness, as "McEnery United
