TaE RIVER APPROPRIATION BILL.

As the spring opens the people
of this and several adjoining States,
contemplate, with serious appre.
tension, the dangers of an overflow
of the Mississippi River. Congress
will, in all probability, make no
Appropriation to check aud confiOe
this dreaded destroyer of life aud
property during the present term.
The bill that was long sine laid be-
fore the Senate and strongly urg-
ed by the friends of the measure,
has been delayed, ridered and
amended by designing persons
until there is no hope for its pas
sage this session. 1t may be too
severe to charge the opposition
with being possessed of a spirit of
sectional jealousy or animosity, but
certainly the least that "a be
said Is they evince an unpardona-

ous. The fact is the country is
just being aroused to a realization
of the fact that II of the most
gigantic undertakings Of the age,
and one that will tax the best en-
gineering skill of the country has
become a political necessity. That
is, indeed, one step in the right
direction, but it will probably be
years yet ere the great scheme IL
entered into with that zeal and
earnestnes, by the whole country,
that will insure its speedy accom-
plishment. We see no reason,
however, for the South to feel
piqued or offended at the slow
strides that are being made in this
matter by Congress. No great
work was ever successfully consu-
mated by hasty aud spasmodic et-
fort. Years of toll and patient
labor will be the price that Will
purchase for us the blessing Of
having this mighty river pent up
in the narrow confines of Its chan
mel, riparian owners protected from
the ravages of its floods, aud Its
navigation reduced to scientific
perfection.

MfssIssIPP1 AND SILK CULTURE.

|
We extract the following para
graph from q letter of Edward q.
Bruce in the March number of lip
pincOtfs Magazine upon the subject
of the New Orleans Exposition. 1t
explains itself aud is suggestive OF
some very wholesome ideas for the
consideration of Mississippians:
Close to New Jersy towers Mississippi's
canopy of feecy cotton, disposed decOra-
tivoly as to form, but having no color but
that OF the great staple. A white dove
upon the summit represents peace, and
represents it well. But there is too much
peace. Mississippi should be stirred into
forgetting cotton for a while and accept
ing the idea that the world expects other
things from her. She can do better than
put all her eggs in the cotton basket.
One of her ladies, Mrs. Charles Dudley,
exhibits cocoons and raw spun silk. An
other ~cocoonery exemplifed ~ that OF Mr..
Bailey, of Jackson. An immense piece of
embroidery on satin, done by the Ladies'
Association of Natchez, depicts the map
of the State, with her statistics in the
margin, all executed with the grace of
that most exquisite of tools, the female
hand. Next time, we may hope, the satin
may be the fruit OF Mississippi looms, and
the embroidery woven in after the meth
cd of the Paterson ~jaequar1s which also
are displayed here, the fingers of the Mis-
sissippi ladies employed perhaps IN de-
signing patterns for the mechanics to
work out. The aOwer-palnting of Mrs.
Gasteel. of Natchez, is worthy of any
tissue. Is it f%anciful to hold that where
the raw silk is grown and rceled, and the
figures studied, drawn, and colored, the
loom cannot remain unknown Why may
not that famous bluff, rich in legend and
richer in landscape become the chosen seat
of a manufacture which has always seem
ed the peculiar property of Southern To-
calitiesi If Mississippi can produce the
fine wOollen blankets and cashmeres
which come from a mill seated upon the
immediate shore of the Gnlf at Bay st.
Louis, where the climate certainly never
could have suggested the use of wool for
comfort by day or night, she may equally
shine in silk. 1t need not be long before
the reaching eff such a result, if We judge
from the rate at which her factories for
other fbres have sprung into ey istence
and success.

A few papers friendly to Gov. Lowry
have a habit of saying that that tunc-
tionary is being opposed by certain edit
Ors who failed to get appointments at his
hands, and so forth. This is a misrepre-

of the most honorable gentlemen of the
State press. We doubt if a single Missis-
sippl editor who is opposing Gov. Low
rvs reelection ever applied to him for
any position, and If those who assert the
contrary know of any such case they
should name it or forever hoId their peace.
