Vicksourg Herald: "The Mississippi
liver has fallen so rapidly within the
asst two weeks that we can now judge
lratty correctly what will be the effect
If the cutoff on our city. A bar is foIm-
ng above Delta, on the louisiana side
If the river, aud another in the upper
md Of the lake. These bars are the
boundaries between which the Missis-
ippi will pass for years, and their lcca-
ion shows that the channel Of the rivtr
will not for many years be much moe
d n half a mile from the city. The
liver has Strengthened itself from King's,
tx miles above here, to point opposite
1slta. This, and the bar forming above
Oalta, proves thai the point above Delta
viii not cave very much, il any, further
Town. In the meantime there is no evil
leOce that the harbor in front Of the city
g filling up. II it is doing so slowly,
MY, it will take yeaIs to seriously affect |
ne depth along the edge Of the hills, and
t it should in the course Of time do So,
t will be eaey and not expensive to keep |
he channel open down the lake the |
hort distance to the river. Just as we |
before it occurred, the cutoff |
las been a ben fit 10 the city instead Of |
n injury. 1t las relieved the suspense |
n regard 10 the matter, without iLfl,ct. |
ng, as yet, the least damage, and with |
lothing worse to fear in the future than, |
possibly, a small outlay to keep the har-
