Great Unessiness 10 Felt Along the Lower

MKHrHu, TENN, Jan. 5.-Great uneainess il
felt along the lower mississippi owing 10 the
unfinished and unsafe condition Of the leeves

A repetition Of the horrors Of Last springs
overflow IL greatly feared Many thousands
OF dollars have been expended in the last year
on levee work, and it ID being pushed for
ward as rapidly as possible by the Contractors,
who hope 70 complete their work before the
spring rise, as that would prove destructive
to the entire system II caught in an
uncompleted condition. The forces along the
line are being doubled. Relays of hands and
teams from this city and points further north
are being shipped to the works and all possible
haste Is being made TO complete the work by
March, save in front Of Helena, Ark. A
long delay has been occasioned on that part
OF the work by the fact that two
contracts made for its completion and ratified
by the board Of United States engineers were
not approved by the Secretary Of War when
submitted to him. Consequently third adj
vertisement and letting will have to take
place before it can be completed.
