received a letter from a very ob. a
servant gentleman ot lake Prodl. I
deuce seistive to the reported esa i
inl at the Wyly and Elson levees, l
an. be has permitted us to pake I
extraets from it. The writer says:
"There Is no cause for unessalOes t
on accoent of the Wily levee. It t
is nearly up to gross grade, whbih s
makes it full large in comparisoe
with other levees, and it has washed a
very little by the rains thles far.
There is rapid caving in Eltoo bead e
for a sisrtanee of more than a mile, t
mnmmencing about the end of the 4
lien levee shove town, on the t
North aide of river bayou, and el. a
etnsllag up about one and a quarter I
