NATCHEZ. Miss, April 1.-There is but
little new TO report, with reference to the
levees to-day, but the constantly rising
river is rendering the situation more acute,
which acuteness will continue to increase

NEW ORLEANS. April 1.--Up to the
present time far as known the line of
Louisiana levees is intact, but the strain
against them is such that break at any
moment is feared at almost any time. Vigi-
lance is the price of safety and the con-
slant watch for weak places has been the
means of averting several crevasses at
dangerous points. The sloughng on the
Algiers side just below the city has been
repaired. thirty thousand sacks of earth
having been used in making the place Sc
cure. Another weak spot developed at
Jesuit's bend. twenty miles below the city.
but several hundred men soon restored it,
The great danger below the city is due to
wave wash caused by passing vessels, some
of which run very close to the shore to
avoid the swift current and drift. and the
Governor and mayor have issued proclama-
lions calling on them TO keep to the middle
of the stream and run under slow bells.
The heavy rain and wind of the past two
days. which still continues, has soaked the
levees and the people who behind them
are growing indignant at the heedlessness
of the pilots and talk of using arms to
compel them TO keep 10 the middle of the
