The Vicksburg Herald's argument
in regard to closing the Saint Francis
basin by levee, is as thin as tissue
paper. When country nearly $50
miles in length, and nearly so miles in
width, aud where the water stands
from ten 10 twenty-five feet deep, is
completely protected by leyee, II
seems that common sense should
teach us the flood level would be
higher, aud that all the country south
would be in more dangerous condi-
ton. Ii is only a question Of short
time when the ST. Fraucis basin will
be leyeed and then we will see.
