SEPTEMBER 2{, 1877, MISSISSIPPI LEVEES. How a Hundred Millions May Be Saved. Ontlets -Instead of . Building Embankments, Cat Capt. Join Cawdin, who has for eome years arged a theory for dralolng off the lower Mis- pissippi River so aa to protect the fann-lands from overflow, and at the same time not Injure novigation, has been giving his viéws to the Clncinnati Commeercial, from which we copy: “The Captain is a irm opponent of the leven systemn, denouncing It 04 not only extrencly .zpuy, Yt very incfMcfent. Ifo glves arguments ta support his statenients that, instead of hank- for up tho tiver in the lower country, ontlets shoulil be tnada tolet the superabundance of wa- ter ofl. Sald he: * Instead of calling ontheGov- emnment to nvrmmlnle tens of millions for the construction of lovees, le thero be an ontlet in- to Lake Borgne, ten miles below New Orleans. Pull ont the eypress stumps in tho outlet, pav for a square mile of land botween tho river and the swamp, as 8 nfim. of way, and make slde Jevecs to protect the plantations from overflow, Tho work sonld nol cost more than $500,000, and you would have an outlst great- er than Bonnet Carre Crevasse, which empties into Lake Ponchartraln, These two outlets—one abovennd the other below New Orleans—would protect the whole Mate of Louistana from overflow. There oughtto be a evee around Bonoet Carre outlet that would cust pertinps $100,000, 8o, for sn expenditure of only $0600,000, we would have the Btnto guarded from damages by high water, The Commercuil's Carroll” Parish correspondent s right In bis outlct systen, but doesn’t scem to understand 1t fully. Ile does not begin at the reght end. Commence making your outlets at the lower end, draw the water off, and thero will bo no floods above, It is the bauking up of {he water by means of levees that does the infs- chief, Toshow you that I am pot alune fn my opposition to tho levee system, here s a letter which Mr. Richmond Pecler, producer of the famous Pecler cotton, and Mving In Missivsippl s fow miles above Vicksburg, wrote to o ju 42 ! As you know, 1 Iinvo resided hero ever since 18%. In 183 the river was bigh, but did not overflow all tho land, We liad no inore high water until 1844, During this time the levees were belng bullt, and the river rising hlf:hrr until 1862, when o had a flood. Al the high ridges were under the water over threo feet, when tho samo lands wero not flooded in 1825, 1 call your attcution to Milliken’s Beud, as you knaw that part of the rives The scttlers threw upsmall loveos and made zood crops, Now the same lands are protected by levees from six 1o cight feet high, and fn the watcr was over the land both fn and outside the levees, and people lost thelr crops with these high ‘m:cl which extended up and down tue river banks for wany milcs, whercas with small lJevces only a few iles long, n 188, rood crops were made. In 1807 there was another high water,—only lacked a few inehes of thyt of}1802,—and there Is no knowlng how high It would hiave come hadit not been for tho breaks in the levees at the 1larsis place and at Ashton, which drew the water off and saved my place far seven ycara past. Smart men sy that levees dovs hot make the river rise higher, but I ditfer with them, for the river rises fast untll the water commencer to run off through the breaks Ju the levees and other outlets, and then it begins to stop rising. You may build lovees ns high as you please and the water will s over them unlesa the levees break in som place, which it always docs, and then the river stops rising. I think tho only way to protect the country from overflow fa to open all the out- leta and let the water pass off in all directions.” In 1873 Capt. T. 4V, Wileox, of Nnpoleon, wrote Lo o he river bank at this place s at least four feet higher than it was fifteen or twenty {cnrn ago, and {3 nuw as subject to ovor- flow as then. Btlck. pavements can now be found fully four feet deep under the doposits of suil made by repeated uverflows.' Capt. Greone Cumby, at the mouth of White Riser, wrote In 1873: 4“1 was born und raised in this nelghbothood, and tliteen years ngo Leard my father say that f Lis land was ong fuot higher he would not gell it for any price, as it would then be'above overflow, Thnt samo land has made sitic that time at least four feet from deposits, and s still subject to overtiow as dcn;; or deeper than It was then, 1 fully s with you that tho levee system will ruin the country," "The Captain contonded for the theory, zencr- " ally outlets king, that the more ogunlng of and the Iees Tevecing the better, and belfeved that money expended with this vlow of the case wonld mectan ceondmical and successful in- Yestmont., Upon this subject lot mo doa little fguring, At the flood-Lide wo Lave In the Vulloy of the Llluiu![;rl a body of water fifty miles wide nud ten feet deep, IT this were contined between leved ene wnilo u{mrt it would give us a voluine of water hOO fect high, providiug there wus as much current across this bottowm as there s [n the river, say flve tniles an - lour, But we know there s not so mueh current there, If it were one mile an hour It would'givo us a volume of water 100 feet hign.

To the Ertitor of The Trihune, In the picturesque Valley -of Radau, near Tarzhurg, In the Duchy of Brunswick, riscs the Burgbermy—a mountain ahout 2,000 feet fn hight. Inancient times the Saxon Pagans of- fered sacrifices {o Lhelr iduls on this swinmit, and, in tho middle ages, It was surmounted by the burg, or castle and stronghold, of the Emperor Jenry IV, Some remains of the old ramparts may still be scen hy those who will take the palns to visit the spot.

Gregory, far from belng Intimidated, excommunicated the Emperor. Henry at first made light of the bolts of the Vatican. But, little by litle, the Princes of the Empire withdrew thelr support, and he saw himeelf menaced with the loss of his crown. hie Klectors wera already threatening to pfo- ceed to the cholce of a new Emperor, uniess hd made his peace with Rome.
