FLOODS IN LOUISIANA-BREAKS IN \ THE LEVEES. NEW ORLEANS, May li.-Information has besjn received of a break in the grand levee in the Parish .of Point Ooupee, half a mile above the new week. This was a work just closed at great expense, which flooded so large a portion of West Louisiana in the last two years. The break just reported, however, is said not to in volve so great a danger as at the levee, some distance front the river's edge: th ff water at the break is only six feet deep. The break is reported to be one hundred fifty yards wide but from the high stage of ?rater, will.be diffi? cult, if not impossible, to close it. t Tte Villero cretaase, St. Bernard Pariah, is Abandoned as hopeless. The break ls now saverai hundred feet wide, and of great depth. The water is sweeping uninterruptedly back to Ute lapes. AN INMAN FIGHT.

The Cabinet, yesterday, discussed the eight hour law. - Jhe Viceroy of Egypt has left Alexandria for an European tour. The verdict of the court-martial exculpating Dyer has been promulgated. General Hancock has arrived st St Paul, and assumed command of Da cotai. . Forty new appointments of postmasters in the West and So nih have been made. Geo. Hood, the manager of the Aoademy of Music, Philadelphia, died yesterday. Tba Judiciary and Reconstruction committees were in session at Washington yesterday.

The Revenue Department has decided that velocipede exhibitions are hable to the same tax as theatres. One-third of the remaining treasury clerks In Washington will be removed in a few days to make room for new appointees. Minister Motleys instructions were dispatch ed to him yesterday by special messenger. Nothing is known of their character. The question whether specially licensed bro? ken are liable td a tax on money deposited by customers ts not yet formally decided. A Memphis dispatch says that every train is crowded. Nearly all the delegations bave ar? rived, representing nearly every State South ans} many pointe North. Clapp, tue Congressional printer, is deter? mined to carry out his views regarding ap? prentices and the colored printer Douglass, regardless of the action of the Printers' Union, -The Court of Criminal Appeals in England recently set aside a verdict of murder on the following grounds: The only evidence against the prisoner was contained in the dying decla? rations of the wounded person, a woman, who, at the end of tbe account of the circum stancee, said: "I have made the above state? ment with the fear of death before me, and with no hope 'at present' of my recovery." The words "at present" were interlined at the deceased's request, and the court held that this fact showed that the declaration waa not made in tbe fear of death, and therefore that the statements could not be received in evi? dence. The construction placed upon the words under consideration would seem to be, that though the wounded person believed her? self to be in a highly critical state, yet she had not given up all hopes of recovery. -About seven years ago two sisters-in-law, in Detroit, got into a dispute over a baking they were engaged in, and vowed neyer to rto each other again. Though they have lived together in tbe same house since then, eating at the same table, and engaged at work side by side, they have never once ad? dressed a remark to each other, or in any way recognized each other's presence. ANOTHER WORD TO THEMATOR. To the Hon. Gilbert Pillsbury : SIB-I am satisfied that my recen1, comma nicaHon waa kindly received-as il waa not in malice written-by your Honor. Your Honor may v.oil exclaim, "Save me from my friends," when those who claim that distinction fly to arms and -atter threats of vengeance upon a quiet citizen who boldly ad? vises yon against ttieir measures.

If your Honor had said. "I will stay here a week, or even a month? or for the entit? length ot my term in office,'- y JU could not have .silenced them sooner, for they well Knew that one fix? ed ia purpose, y*>u could not be moved. Im? mediately they fell to ii busing each ether in the very presence of your Honor, like so many madmen, let lonee for a holiday,; but it would be lolly to des ignite one a hove the other, for "Wheo all are-mad, where all arc Uka-cyprent, Who can discern one madman arom the reit?" .But outside tko Council Ck&mbar tnev even take greater liberties with yon: name.cud char? acter.

[From the Saturday Review.J Among other classifications, the world of nen and women may be divided into those who sear aprons and those who are tied to the i tringa thereof, those who determine the ength of the tether and those who are bound io browse within its circuit, those who bold the reina and those who go bitted. Ali men and vomen are fond of power, bat there is a wide lifference in the way in whicb they ase it. To nen belong the grave political 'tyrannies at ivhioh natioos-revolt, and history is outraged, to women the mall conventional laws framed igainst individual liberty by Mrs. Grundy lad society; men rule with roda of iron and Irive with whips of steel, women shorten the tether and tie np close to apron siringa; men coerce, women forbid. lu fact, the difference is just that which lies between iction and negation, compulsion and restraint; between the masculine jealousy of equality and the feminine fear of excess. If meu debar wo? men from air-entrance into their larger sphere, women try to dwarf men's lives to their own measure, and not a few hold themselves ag? grieved when they tail. They think that every? thing which ia impossible to them should bc forbidden to others, and they maintain that to be a lamentable extreme which ia aimply in ex? cess of their own powers. Not content with supremacy in the home which is their own un? disputed domain, nor mt is tied with binding on men the vari?os rules distinguishing life in tho drawing room and the oreakfsst parlor, they would, if they could, carry their code outside, ind sweep into its narrow net the club house and the mess table, the billiard room and the race coarse, aud wher? ever else meu congregate together, de? livered from the bondage of leniinine conventionalities. For almost all women have an uneasy feeling when their men are out of aight, enjoying themselves iu their own way. They fear on all aides-both bodily bann and moral evil; and regard men's rougher sports and freer thoughts as a ben regarda her wilful ducklings wheo they take to the water ia which she woold be drowned, and leave ber high and dry lamenting their danger and self-destruc? tion. The man they love best tor his manli? ness they would, in their loving cowardice, do their utmost to make effeminate; and while idoring him for all that makes him bold and strong in thought as well aa in frame, woold tie him up to their apron-strings, and keep him ibero till be became as sott and narrow as .'bemselves. Not that they would wish to do c a; if you asked them they would tell you quite the contrary; bat this would be the re? sult if they had their own way. their love being at all times more timid than confident. To home stay ng women, a brilliant husband couru d by tbe world, and loving what courts him, is a painful cross to bear, however much beloved-the pain, m fact, berni; proportionate to the love. Perhaps no lite exemplifies this so mach as Moore*?. Poor "Bessy" suffered many things because of the looseness ot the apron-string by which her roving husband was tied, and thc length of tho tether which he allowed himself. Farfallone amoroso as hs was, his incessant fl ut teringa out of tange and reach caused her many a sad hour ; and in after years she was often heard to say that the happiest time or her life was when his mind had began to fail, for then she had him all to herself, and DO ono came in between them-no great world swept him away to be the idol of a salon, and left ncr alone at home casting up her accounts with lite, and quaking at tbe re salt that came oat. When the on U< ,aicy and the idolatry came to an end, then her turn began; and she tied ap her dulled and faltering idol close to her side for ever after, and was happier to bave him there than when he was at his brightest, and a rover. Many a wife bas telt the 8ame when sickness has broken down tho Btiong nutra pow.r to a weakueus below her own, and made her, so long the inferior, now the more powerful of the two, and tho su? preme. 8ho gathers up tbe reins with that firm, tight hand peculiar to women, and ties him to her apron siring so that ho cannot es? cape. It ? quite a matter of pride with ber that she bas gol bim into such good order. He obeys ber so implicitly about his medicino, and going to bed early, and wrapping himself up. an avoidanco of draughts and night air, that she feels alt tho rejected priory ot one who bas con^uwod a hero. The Samson who used to defy tho elements, and break her careful smugs" like bands of tow, has at last laid his head in ber lac and suffered himself to bo covered hy her apron, lt is worth while to have had the anx cty and loss of bis illness for the sake ot the submission resulting; au.l sho generally ends by gaming a bold over him which he can never snake off again. It is piti? ful, though, to see the stronger life thus dwarf? ed and bor nd; bat women like it, and while the need for it lasts men must submit. The danger is lest the habit of the apron string should become permanent: for it is so perilously. pleasant to be petted and made much of by women, that few men can resift the temptation when it offers; and many have been rained tor the remainder of their days by ao illness which gave them up into the keep? ing of wife and Bisters-those fireside Armidas j Rho will coddle all the real manliness oat of their finest heroes, if they sse let. If this kind of thing ccaurs at the break of life, the mezzo ctmnino between maturity and ?ge, it is doubly di then! t to throw off; and many a mau who bad good years of vigor and streu.-th be? fore him it he bad kept ap to tho.mark, sinks all at once intooflete senility because his wo? mankind ?ot lightened at ?hat last small at? tack of ms, aw.' thought, the best way to pre? serve him from another was to woaken him by over care. Pebaos the greatest misfortune that can be? fall a man as to have been an only soc, brought up by a tender and timid widow mothar. It is easy to see at a giauce. among a crowd of boya, who has been educated under exclusively femi? nine influence. The long carted shining hair. the fantastic tunic-generally a kind of hybrid between a tame and a frock-the lavish use of embroidery, tke soft pretty behaved mannet, the clean un roux he nt d bands, all mark the boy of whom his mother baa so often wished that be had been a girl, and whom she has made as like a girl as possible His intellectual edu? cation has bees as un boy Uko as bia daily .breeding. Mothers' boys are taught to play the piano, to amuse then-selves with paint? ing, or netting, or perhaps a little woolwork in the evenings-anything to koon them quietly scated by the family table, without an outbreak of boyish restlessness or .inconvenient energy; but.tney are never taught to ride, to tm nt, to shoat, to swim, to play at .cricket, football, or i billiards, unless tbero Lit stalwart uncle about I who tskoa tho roino la bra wu Jmutlo at (luicoj I and insists on having-a word to Bay about his 1 nephew's education. There is danger in all, I and evil in some of those things; and women i cannot bear that those they love should ran the I risk of either. Wherefore their boys are modest * and virtuous truly, but they are hot manly; and I when they go oat into the world, as they mast- < sooner or later, they aro either laughed at for their priggishness, or they go to tho j bad by the very forco of reaction. The i mother has allowed them to learn nothing 1 that will bo of auy use to them, and they cn- ] ter tho great arena wholly unprapared either I to fleht or reni?t, to oush their own way or to ' take their own part. They have boea kopt tied ap to the apron string to the last moment, aod i only when absolutely forced by the necessity i of e re J ts will she cut the koot and let them go 1 free. Bat she holds on to the last moment, i Even when the time comes for college life and 1 learning, she often goes with her darling, and 1 taken lodging in the town, that she may be < noar at hand to watch over his health and 1 morals, and continue her careful labors for bis ] destruction. The chances aie that a youth so i brought ap never becomes a real man, or worth ' his salt anyhow. He is a prig if he is good, ' a debauchee of tbe worst kind if be kicka over < the traces at all. He is more likely the firsr, i carrying the mark of the apron string round I his wrist for life. Like a tame falcon used to 1 the hood, and the perch, aod the lore home, 1 no matter what the temptation of the quarry i afield, he is essentially a domestic man, at i ease only in the society of women; a fussy i man, a small mao, delicate in health, and with I a dread of strong measures, physical political I or mental; a crotchety man, and given to pas- j sing quackeries, bat not a mau fit for man's < society, or for man's work. When there are t many boys, instead of only one, in a widow's < family, the opposite of all this is the case. As soon as they nave escaped from the nursery, t they bave escaped from all control whatsoever; < and" if one wants to realize a puerile p?ndeme- ; niam of dirt, discomfort, noise, and general i disorganization, the best place tn the world is I the household of a feeble Bpirited mother ot 1 many sons, where there is no controling mas- j online influence. 1 Daughters, who are naturally and necessari- i ly tied up to the mothet's apron strings, suffer ? occasionally from too tight a strain; though ' certainly it is not the faul t of the present day i that girls are too olosely fettered, too home- < staying, or subdued, still, every now and then < one comes across a mitron who has crashed < all individuality out of her family, and whose i grown-up daughters are still children to her < in go-carts and leading-strings. They may be I the least attractive of their sex, but a mother i of this kind bas one fixed delusion respecting them-namely, that the world is full of wolves eager to devour her lambs, and that they are only safe when close to her maternal aproa and browsing within an inch of the tether ' stake. These are the girls who become hope? less old maids. Men have an instinctive dread of the maternal apron string. They do not want to marry a mother as well as a wife, and to live under a double dominion and redo ph- . cate opposition. It is all very well to say that ? a girl so brought up is broken in already, and , therefore moro likely to make a good wife than many others, seeing that it is only a transfer ot obedience. They may do for slaves who cannot be other than slaves whoever is the : m as tei ; but it does not do for women who see their friends freer than themselves, and who : might, if fate had so ordered, bceu free too. The chances here are, as with tho mothers' boys-that the girls keep too close to the apron string during her spinsterhood, goes all abroad as soon as she gets on the free ground of mat? rimony, and lets her liberty run into liceate. Or she keeps ber old allegiance to ber mother intact, and her husband is never moro than the younger branch at bes-. Most likely he is a usurper, whom it ia ber duty to disobey in favor of tho rightful ruler when they chance to come into collision. -The moro advanced ad%ocate3 of women's rights have boldly fixed their ambitious gazo on the Presidency. Bev. Mr. Leocher said at the "Equal Bights" meeting that a woman may make as good a President as any of the last five or six who ruled in the White*House. The thing ia going I eyond laughter very evi? dently. That respect for female ohiefd is an old characteristic of the Teutonic races, and it still exists in spite of the Latin influences. If the English have a Queen, why may wo not have a lady President ! Tho old ages of Btal wart limbs and brute forco aro gone; and ii Congress is to take matters into its own bauds for the future, perhaps a woman may do as well in tho White House as a conquering general. -Little Frank was taught he was made of dust.

It was attempted some months ORO b the Radical press to show tba; the so-calle. "Monroe doctrine" justified proDagandism oi the part of this government. To in teilte en readers it is unnecessary to Bay that it mean precisely the reverse. The psasage in thi message of Mr. llonroo to Congress in 1825 which is popularly koowa ander this name tras inserted in consequence of the alanuinf Joe tn u e of the right of "intervention" in the af lairs ot in J i vidual nations and their appendages promulged by the combined absolute gc vern? al euts ot Europo. known as the "Holy Alliance. ' The invasion of Spain by France in 1823 to pre rent the establishment of a constitutional gov? ernment, to which Bang Ferdinand had consent 3d, and to which there was little or no opposi? tion in Spaio, was an example of the applicat? ion of tho pernicious principles asserted by :hese despots. Mr. Monroe, in the message referred to, protested against thia doctrine be? ing applied to America, and declared that any ittempt on the. part of European powers to ex? pend the by stem of "nat i OD al interference" for .ho purpose of controlling in any manner the {overamente of thia hemisphere, "which had ?tabliahed their independence," would bo con? sidered as the manifestation of an unfriendly Iisposition towards the United Slates. This is all there is of the Monroe doctrine, md it will be perceived that tho absurd con? duct of Congress, as a body, for the past few fears, and the recent nonsensical speeches of ita individual members, have notjonly placed thia government in direct antagonism to the principles thus avowed in 1825, but given the ^overamente of France, England and Spiin tho high stand-point of maintaining those pi maples against their threatened *iol <lion on sur part.

THE FREEDMEN'S BUREAU. Ita Condition, Organization and Opera, tiona Under the New Order of Things. A Washington correspondent of the Bostcn Advertiser sends to that paper the following ftccount of the preaont condition and organiza? tion of that famous institution, the Freedmen's Bureau : The Howard University buildings are admi? rably situated on the hill north of the city, and the view ?rom the front entrance of the main building ia as fine a ono as you can get aLout Washington. The Freedmen's Bureaa now has its headquarters up there. General Howard will probably remain ia chargo of it nil summer, though there was a deal ot talk some weeks ago about sending him off to other duty. Ho still retains General E. Whittles y aa adjutant, General Balloch aa disbursing oflicor, General H. M. Whittleeoy as quarter? master, aud General Sowall aa inspector. There haa lately been a thorough reorgani zation of the bureau forces. The position of assistant commissioner ha? teen abolished, and there aro now none of thia cioss of ofliccia anywhere. The position of State dieburaing oflicor has also beon discontinued, and tho finances arc now entirely managed by General Balloch. The office of quarteimasler is soon to be closed; and in fact General Whittlosey and his four clerks are now doing nothing but settling up the old business. Of all there was in the bureau a couple ol years ago, theio re? main only tho educational and bounty claims divisions! The establishment no longer ad? ministers the criminal laws, no longe? deals m corn ar d bacon and other supplies, no I one er furnish ?s transportation for retupes and freed? men. Its wilgie duty now is to aid tho cause of popular education in the South, and to as? sist colored soldiers and their heirs m collcc: ing the bounties promised by government dur? ing tbs war. There is one superintendent of education in each of tho Southern Sutes, and each super? intendent lae one clerk only. The superin? tendents, as designated in t he order j nat is? sued, arc as follows : ti. M. Manly, Bichmond, Virginia; H. C. Vogel!, Raleigh, North Caroli? na; Major Hoiace Neide, Columbia, Sooth Ca roi ?na; Lion tenant-Co lon el O. W. Gi le, Jae1?;. Bonville, Florida; Colonel J. K. Lewis, Atlar?ta, Georgia; Colonel Edwin Beecher, Montgom .ery, Alabama; H. B. Pease, Jackson, MIBSIFB jppi; E. W. Mason, New Orleans. Louisiana ; J> jaepb Welch, Anstiu, Texas; W. W. Colby, Little. Rock, Arkansas; Lieutenant-Colonel 0. ?. co mpton, Nashville, Tonne.-BOC; Colonel B. P. flunk le, Louisville, Kentucky, ano John Kim Dall, Washington, for the District o', Colum? bia, .Maryland, Delaware, and T#est Vir? ginia. Such of these gentlem ? n as are in the army draw their regular army pay*,? the civili? ans are paid out of the bureau f?nf JB; tho com Sensation ranges from $1200 to $2100 yearly, o superintendent can employ ir ?ore tuan one clerk; and each official is expect td lo give his whole time to the educational work. The bureau can aid schools in only one way by nutting up, or assisting to pat up and re? pair, school buildings; it has n o funds where? with to pay teachers. It is entering on a new policy; hereto)ore it has mos'liv aided schools and academies in towns and cities; hereafter it will endeavor to do more wor k in the country and small villages. The new instructions, issued a day or two ago, spec lally enjoin super? intendents to labor >in this di reefton. Each Superintendent is to report .briefly every month to the genernl superintendent here, Mr, J. W. Alvord, and in January and July there must be tull semi -annual reports to the commissioner. The sp ring reports show an improved feeling eveirywhere-in most localities the residents know that General Grant is now in the White) louse, and that tho ballot cannot be taken aw ay from the black man. The appointment of sonic-colored per? sons to office is mentioned as one of the agen? cies working toward the enlightenment of the whites. The bounty division of the burean is in charlo of Mr. Drew, under whom are fourteen clerks. There is a deal more labor hero than persons commonly suppose. The bureau must keep up a constant fight with thieves and sharpers, and, at the leas , it is probable that the ros cale manage to cheat many af the ne? groes ont o/ a considerable portion of ?h?tr duos. I he situation in this regard is worse in Kentucky .and Tennessee than iu any other States. An average of about $250 000 per month is paid over to claimants. A complete history of j every claim is kept, and tho books seemed to me models of neatness and orderly arrange? ment. So fer as is pcacticable, the money BOBS to olaimant?.through the Freedmen's Savings Banks of the South- tho officers ot which in? stitutions ore presumed to be generally ac? quainted with the neorfoes in their respective localities. JJwo or three bounty acents are, however, kept on dnty in each State-all these are detailed asmy officers. The number cf th i s class of officials is being reduced as fast as possible. m The burran is Bellin s. off its property wher? ever it ?an find purchasers. It has control of I the Arlington eutate on the opposite side of | the river from -Washington; it was bought in by the government at a tax sale, and that por? tion not occupied by the .soldiers' cemetery is re.ited out to colored persons, some of whom have nice little farms. Most of the buildings in this city at one time held by the bureau have been -transferred to the quartermaster's department. There is considerable property at Macon and Angnbta, as well as some in Texas and South Carolina, of which the com? missioner is ostensibly in charge-it cannot yet be sold because?! disputes about the gov? ernment title. Many - thousand acres of aban? doned land were once on the books of the bu? rean, but this is given np as fast as its owners como iorward and establish their titles. Special M?as.
