The height 70 which the food in the Mis-
sissippi has risen at New Orleans is mpre-
cedented. and there were at one time very
substantial reasons for serious apprehen-
sion for the safety Of the city. IL is init
mated that the rush Of the vast volume Of
water 10 the sea is obstructed by the works
ri the mouth Of the river, thus causing the
stream 10 dam up for "a considerable distance
upits course. The only ground for supposine
such a condition ofthings 10 exist as this, is
that although a wind moving at a velocity
of thirty miles an hour, has been blowing
steadily down stream, it has not produced
the usual effect in previous great foods, Of
driving the wafer more rapidly 10 the
ocean.
That the whole Of the Mississippi Valley
from Cairo TO Port Fades. should now be
practically at the mercy Of the river, is a
crave reflection upon the system Of uroiec
ton from foods which has hitherto pre-
vailed. Either that system has not been
carried 10 sufficient length, for lack Of ne
cessary appropriations, or 10 is radically
wrong i'm itself, if relied upon exclusively
As n means Of defence. Year 10y year the
bottom Of the Mississippi pcnt in between
the leyees. has been slowly rising from the
uninterrupted deposit Of the silt With which
the waters Of the stream are so thickly
charged. until il has only been necessary
for a food like the one now under fun head
10 occur. for the banks TO give way from
point to point, leaving the whole or the
greater part Of the adjacent country TO be
oyerfiOwcd.
Shall the present system Of making addl-
tions to the height of the levces when re-
quired, be pursued, or shall this system be
combined with the opening Of seyeral mouths
70 the river, by cutting through TO the Gull
some distance above its present point Of
egressY The latter plan is receiving scri-
Gus consideration, as il would, if adopted.
relieve the lower part of the Mississippi OF
its present volume Of water in a food, and
TO that extent, would cause the water a
bove 10 run of more rapidly boy diminishing
an obstruction TO its Tow 10 a minimum.

AMONG the most remarkable Of recent
contemporary incidents have been Tho
efforts ofthe Louisiana Lottery Company O.
obtain charter with view TO logalizmg
its nefarious operations. 10 has made
application 90 the Legislatures OF two
states, North Dakota and Louisiana.
The Legislature Of the former was
approached because that state is com-
paratiyely impoverished, and it was sup
posed that the very large bride offered
for a charter, 100000 per annum, would be
accepted with little hesitation Fortunate
ly this has proved incorrect, the citizens of
that CQmmonw ealth having shown in the
most unmistakable manner that they were
opposed 10 the charter being granted.
There seems TO be some prospect that The
company will be successful in its advances
20 the Legislature Of Louisiana. it being in-
timated that it is fully prepared 10 increase
It's bride from 5000, 900 10 $l,Ooo,OOO anuu-
ally, ifthe charter Is granted, besides max
ing large payments toward the liquidation
Of the existing debt Of that State. 10 Is TO
be hoped, both for sake Of themselves and
the whole country, that the people, of Louis
lana VIII finally follow the example set hr
the people of North Dakota.
