in "Red Stick" we have occasional
evidences of such an institution,
carted round through our thorough
fares by " Uncle Pleasauce," whose
calling as street sprinkler is of no
recent date. It is supported by pri
vate subscriptions, and "showers" its
benefits only in "spots," not where
the dust is thickest »imply, but where
the job paya. The consequence is,
that the irrigation of our streets is
by no means as general a thing «s
we should like to see it.

discharged quite a number of work
men from their employ, on account of
the slack of business at this season of
the year.
T he V acant J pogrsuip .—It is said
that the President has tendered the

Judge Catron to the Hon. J. Meigs,
of Tennessee, but that Mr. Meigs de
clines the honor
THE LEVEES.
A couditiou precedent to the recla
mation of our alluvial districts for
purposes of agriculture, is that which
consists in the adoption of measures
the most practicable and efficacious
for a reconstruction of the levees.
Too much importance cannot life
attached to this subject. Time flies,
and with a rapidity that may outrun
flie hest laid plans, and leave us
again in the lurch before the return
of another planting or harvesting
season, unless some action be hast
ened to render secure the interests
of our river planters by averting the
calamity of another overflow.
The magnitude of labor and capi
tal involved in the ta*k of rebuilding
the levees, is a proposition too self
apparent. to be denied, but yet, when
weighed in the scale of future, advan
tages and reimbursements to our pro
ducing classes and all who are de
pendent on these for their prosperity,
it will seem insignificant. Once the
work is fairly commenced and prose
cuted with zeal and energy, the diffi
culties will appear less formidable,
and the "lions in the pathway" be
made speedily to succumb to the
stalwart blows of ihu pickaxe, spade
and shovel.
No provision as yet has been made
favoring this important work, nor
can we look for much to be done,
until there shall be a more thorough
re-organization of the civil govern
ment to take the matter in hand.
En attendant, numerous theories and
plans have been broached by minds
of varied talents and experience,
touching this vital subject. Among
these are some very sensible sugges
tions thrown out by our cotemporary
of the Advocate, who in speaking of
the three parishes, Iberville, West
Baton Rouge and Pointe Coupee,
(with whose interests we are more
immediately identified than with
those of any other of the river par
ishes,) recommends joint action by
the aforesaid parishes, through their
police juries. Subscriptions among
those bes t able to subscribe, and the
faith of those parishes to be pledged
for a return of said subscriptions in
after years ; and in addition thereto,
"a small tax proportionate to the
prostrate condition of the country "
are also recommended to be "levied
and promptly collected."
Further. " A large amount of the
remaining balance necessary to com
plete the work could be raised byj
the issue of the bonds of the three
united parishes to the contractors
who could take them with every con
fidence that the State Legislature, as
soon as it is organized, will assume
the debt upon the part of the State.
"Another valuable means of aid,
is in the manual labor that is due
the parishes from every able bodied
mnu within their limits upon the
roads and levees. There must bo
over five thousand men, white and
black, who each one, according to
laws unrepealed and not repugnant
to the general government, owe three
days labor to the roads and levees in
these three parishes,
"This labor could for the most
part be made available by energetic
measures and the assistance of the
governing authorities.
"A large sum could also be raised
from commutation of this labor upon
the part of those who would rather
pay than work."
The foregoing views strike us as
being quite as feasible as any we
have seen, and if we were to offer
any amendment to them it might
be to recommend (if our State Leg
islature was near its next session
and the work to be done to the levees
was not of such pressing emergency,)
that a Levee District comprising the
three parishes named, be created by
special act, with a Board of Levee
Commissioners chosen from among
the most capable and interested of
the planters, say three from each
parish. This Board to have control
of all levee work, to have stated times
and places for meeting, and to act
under such legal obligations and re
strictions as would ensure an honora
ble fulfillment of the duties assigned
it, and with an eye to strict economy,
durability and aafety. A Board thus
incorporated, for a specific purpose,
vitb tlis power of employing a skill
fui civil engineer and the requisite
labor, besides the devising of ways
and means to meet the necessary
expenses, would accomplish more in
a given time and at a less cost ulti-.
mately than would be likely to result
if left to larger bodies meeting sepa
rately and apart and having a multi
plicity and variety of other parochial
matters to attend to.
A permanent Board of this charac
ter was in existence prior to the war,
in a Levee District which embraced
at first the three parishes of Tensas,
Madison and Carroll, and afterwards
the two latter, wllérein the most, effi
cient levee system in the Mississippi
Valley was to be found. Of course,
it had its objections, like all other
systems of human origin, but taken
all in all, it worked with greater effi
ciency than any which been previ
ously tried. The peculiar topograph
ical conformation of those parishes
along the river, rendered them more
susceptible of overflow than other
parishes below. Tlie great number
of bends along their coast, against
which strong undermining currents
were constantly setting in during
high water, required unceasingly vig
ilance to guard against caving banks
and breaks in the levees, and as more
or less of these were occurring every
year, a great deal of time had neces
sarily to be devoted to filling up the
gaps produced by them, and also to
building new lines of levees farther
away from caving banks aud to
strengthening, by widening and top
ping, the old levees, which became
worn by the abrasion and seapage of
water during the long spring rises of
the Mississippi. Considerations like
these, affecting so extensively the
interests of the upper parishes, where
the rises in the river were so great as
to require much higher and broader
levees than in the lower parishes,
and consequently much more labor
and care, doubtless demanded the
existence of an organization like the
one we have referred to, more im
peratively than circumstances might
demand in the parishes nearer to us.
At the same time, we have thought
it not amiss to throw out the above
hints, in the hope of furnishing some
useful data by way of aid to those of
our fellow-citizens of West Baton
Rouge, Pointe Coupée and Iberville,
who are endeavoring to settle upon
some practicable system of leveeing
for the benefi t of their several parishes. '

WHAT'S TIIE USE!
M>j Dear Comtt —Some time ago I no
ticed an inquiry by "Q. T." about the lato
editor of yonr religions or theological de
partment. If dead, yonr secular editor or
yonr local who has charge of "TliiDgs
about Town," certainly ought to write an
obituary, or il the subject is too pathetic,
call on some one of the local charitable in
stitutions to adopt, the customary pream
ble and sérié» of resolutions ont of respect
for his memory. This would satisfy (J. T.
and other friends, and put his memory to
rest with him after his estate is settled. It
is not expected ut this time that tnncb at-*
ten lion can bo bestowed, or ink thrown
away over mortal remains, whilst gold i«
advancing and cotton going up; it is sensi
ble—it is wise tor everybody to run
after greenbacks and things immortal and
everlasting, and 1 invest in seven thirties
"whero," as .lay Cook soya, "money i»
safe forever." But death is a grave subject
an well as a subject of the grave, and one
who labored so long as your theological
editor to give the Kevival a soul-saving
direction as well as to inspire the public
gonerally with a proper rogard for its lat
ter end, should not be allowed to go down
iinhonored and unsung. Can you not dip
your pen into pathetic ink and undertake
the job, or employ <4. T. to do It ? But
after all, what's the nse * What's the nse
of sweetening the imagination with civit
to say handsome things, to appeal to the
dead to arouse tha living, about the im
material and uus#en abyss iato which we
are all going headlong without a care or a
thought as to what comes after ! What's
the use of laboring to convince the world
that the divine religion of our Lord and
Master is calculated to make all thing»
right here, and secure a crown of glory
hereafter; whilst with all its professions of
faith for pecuniary benefit, the world i»
faithless and our day and generation bent
on going to darkness and perdition ! Why,
Sir, here is a late number of the London
Journal, in which it is announced as fash
ionable just now in Paris to listen to M.
Alexander Damas, (the eavan), who is
lecturing at his Majesty's Orand Theatre
011 Providential men, and laboring to
prova the identity of Jesus with J. Casar,
becati« they were both ProvidwiUri mu,
and their initials ere the same. After
this, what is left for blasphemy *nd ab
snrdity to do t
In self- praise, allow mo to mty, Mr.
Ed itor, I am s serions man, and yet not a
professor; still I mu concerned for the
faithlessness of the d«y and generation in
which I live. Something must be done
before «11 the band*of society aro loosened
and the entire machinery thrown off its
hinges. We are morally, spiritually and
religiously dying, aud the day is dawuiug
when for the violation of the law, pesti
lence and famine will stalk forth in the
land; the grasshopper will be a burden
and desire shall fail.
Is it really so, that we have all to «lie,
and go, wo know not where I Ix it really
so, that all ties of I0V0 and affection roust
be severed; that the tendor «ensibilities
must bo torn into tatterB as greenbacks, or
rust away and become worthless to us as
the baser metals ? If this is really true,
thon should yon have a score of puns en
gaged to to ach yonr peoplo what they may
do to be saved; to teach thejn the pleasant
way towards the heaven of this earth that
they may as they will w«vlk about in the
full blazo of the truth—be miserable and
go to tho devil. Temporal things are-to
use tho language of an eminent divin« j
evanescent, unreal, unsubstantial—pass
ing away as shadows. The matter of
offices and who shall have them; laws
and ordinances; orders, proclamations and
constitutions, mold and pass away ss paper
monoy made of past.«. Lifo evorlasting i*
a good aud substantial thing—in point of
fact, a reality. Let ns all look to it. If
fire will save, let us wash our garment*
with asbostos and pass through it. If
water will save, lot u* all follow the
gooil example set for us at tho horse
watering. P- >'•.
JÈgT John Randolph, of Roanoake, used
