Mobile with some members OF the Board of
Health In order to consult with the authorities
of that city about the removal of delays in the
running of trains between New Orleans and
Mobile.
The consultation was to have taken place at
II o'clock yesterday, but up to late hour, no
news had been received of the result.
It is -rumored that to-day the trains will be
stopped. though yesterday they were allowed to
pass.
The stoppage of trains can become very Sc

Their Trip From the Arkansas Line TO
Below the City.
On the twenty-seventh day of Junethe State En-
gineers started on a reconnaissance of the river
with the intention of locating all the levees
necessary to be built for the protection of the
numerous plantations along the banks of the
Mississippi river and its tributaries. They left
the city In the evening. and after pleasant trip
reached the Arkansas line: which bad been de-
termined upon as the starting point.
On the fourth of July the party, under the
command of Major Harrod, the chief engineer
Of the State, started their first line down the
river. After q long and tedious run until even
ing the party embarked on the Little Joker, a
hired from the Teche. This steamer cost the
State for the work done the sum of s25 day.
This included everything but the provisions
and the cook.
It il needless to give detailed account of the
trip down. Suffice 1t to say that the corps
staked out about forty levees, and 1t is said by
one Of the engineers connected with the expe-
dftion that this was one of the most complete
surveys ever made of the levaes. The survey
extended about thirty miles below the city, or as
far as the levee system goes.
Owing to the condition of the river 1t was i'm
possible to arr We at an exact Knowledge of the
condition OF the larges levees: the water Yves
so high that it was almost impossible to arrive
at any definite conclusion as to their condition

expedition are unstinted in their praise OF the
Inhabitants along the coast and the hospitality
they received.
The parties on the survey were Major Har-

Messrs. Thompson, Lewis and Peters civil en-
gtneers. John Smith, the interchangeable porter
of the Engineers office, waited upon the party
and carried off the palm among attendants.
