THE PROSPECT.

During the week ending Wednes
day last the Mississippi river has
fallen 2 feet, 5 inches, at St. Louis;
feet 5 inches at Cairo; 2 feet, 5
inches, at Memphis ; 10 inches at
Vicksburg, and 5 inches at New
Orleans. Red river has fallen at
Shreveport, 2 feet, 10 inches. The
Arkansas has fallen l foot, 2 inches.
The Latourche, at this point, has
remained stationary at. Is feet
above low water mark. This shows
a material decline in all the rivers,
whilst it is falling at all points.
In the basin between the La
tourche and the Teche, after u fall
of about 20 inches had taken place,
the water has again risen some
six inches occasioned by the late
| rise in Red river.
Between the Lafourche and the
river, East Of Thibodaux, the Water
still rises and has reached the
point attained by the flood OF 1858
Work has been: commenced, by
the Sewall Bros, in an attempt t.
close the Davis crevasse. Thel'
progress, in connection with thu
tall iu the river ought very soon t
stop off enough water to cause tn
water in that basin to cease rising
Local rains have added to tn
height Of the foods aud given pla'
tiers, who are fighting the water
considerable trouble aud work.

WHAT ARE WE TO DO

Inc people of the Parish of La
fourche have suffered "a MANY and
SO great losses during the last 20
years. from crevasses in the levees
on either side of the Bay GU that the
situation is becoming one that de
mands the most serious considera
ton OF the citizens therein. Peo
RE can stand up under occasional
disasters, but they cannot forever
10 so. 1t there was a prospect
ahead in which the silver lining of a
bright cloud could be seen, there
might be anticipations of a bright
er day in the future. But even
that is not perceptible.
Twenty years ago the actual out
let of Bayou Lafourche was G7
miles from Thibodaux, on the Gulf
coast. Since that period it has
gradually, steadily and surely an
preached nearer this point.
The water descending the bayou
has burst the feeble levees near the
lower outlet, by the time the stream
becomes half full at this place.
These forced outlets have been
steadily followed by the filling up
o: the stream Immediately below
them. Each succeeding year finds
new breaks further up, followed
by new deposits until the actual
outlet OF Bayou Lafourche may he
found at the Cut Of, about As
miles below Thibodaux, and %
miles from where it once was, and
should be to day. By this practi
ca! application of the Cowden Sys
TEN of lateral outlets q fine, aud
once vigorous anu prosperous set
tlement of Is or 20 miles has been
utterly destroyed as an agricultu
raj settlement, by the waters flow
ing over them to tho Bays, whilst
the original outlet has become al
most completely filled with depos
its of sand. The experience Of
these few years teaches alesson that
has a fearful meaning, and one that
must not be unheeded. In 1885
the water will, if there be any
truth in past history, finding the
bed filed with deposits below the
Cut Of. burst through higher up,
and force a passage over the cult
waited fields to the Bays near by,
thus moving tho outlet further
away from the natural one.
Even now, we have the waters
ready to pour over our lcvees at
this point, long before the level Of
the earth is reached at Donaldson
vile. The enemy approaches year
by year. AS a victorious army it
moves steadily, andhold severy foot
of advance that it makes. What
are we to do! Nous verrons!

A REVOLUTION IMMINENT.
The Mexicans ON the Eve of Another
Rebellion, Caused by Misrule.

LAREDO, N NJ, April 12.-For several
days the rumors rife Of 9 threatened reyolu-
ton throughout Mexico, are about resuming
a tangible shape, and to erupt the state OF the
quietude prevailing for the past four years.
The causes are the large moneyed conces-
sions granted to American railways, the ac-
ton of the government on the nickel ques-
ton, in ordering the base coin funded, ana
the repudiating of the certificates OF deposit,
or the return of the nickels, the passage OF
the stamp act, requiringa II cent stamp on
all articles offered for sale. Notwithstand-
ing the previous exhorbitant custom house
tax, the failure to pay the soldiers OF the reg
ular army, resulting in thorough demoran-
cation of the troops at Monterey, who are
throwing down their arms and deserving IN
sqads because Of their starving in the garrl-
son. Also the charges of corruption openly
brought against the PRESIDENT now worth
four millions, although poor when he went
into Office four years ago. General Ireylne,
idol of northern Mexico, was awaited at
Laredo to- night by delegation of the lead
ing citizens of Monterey, on his return from
Europe, after three months absence. a
political bargain was made between him and
President Diaz, the present candidate for the
presidency at the approaching June election.
Significance placed on the premature returns
at this critical moment, is that, while he Will
not countenance a revolution, he is prepared
to enter the field as candidate for the presi-
dency.

HARD KNOCKS FOR KNOX.
John j. Knox, of Minnesota, Comp
trOlIer of Currency.
To be Investigated on Serious Charges
With Threat of Criminal PrOsecu
ton.

BosToN, April 12.-Wm. A. Paine, secre-
tary of the committee of the shareholders of
the Pacific bank, said this afternoon, that on
Tuesday last series of charges against
Comptroller Knox, were forwarded to the
house committee of banking and currency,
in Washington, which is now investigating
the affairs of the bank. These charges are
four in number, and contain
entirely new evidence, duplicating Comp
troller Knox. At the time of the previous
hearing before the house committee on bank
ing and currency we had been
hurried, owing to the death of
Ives, and change in our council, too
much to put these charges in proper form.
So we delayed their presentation till now, in
order to make them complete in every detail,
both as regards the allegations and the evil
dence supporting them. 1 am not at liberty
to state what these charges are, because
Knox is to be before the house committee on
Tuesday next, when these charges will be
formally presented. They are very damag-
ing to Knox, and abundantly supported by
incontestable proofs. The first of the charges
refers to another prominent bank in Boston,
with which Comptroller Knox was identihed.
A prominent shareholder of the latter bank,
who owns 5000, 000 worth of stock in the
Pacific bank, has declared that if the house
committe on banking and currency does not
proceed in the matter, as would seem just
and proper, from the serious nature OF the
charges presented, he will at once institute
criminal proceedings against Comptroller
Knox
