Caving in of the Memphis
Levee.
Tho permanency of the whole upper portion
of i.Ii'e (it y landing is very precarious at present.
From tlu: lhoL of Adams street north, the cur!

present tliero seems little progress of its being
arrested. In fact we arc unable to suggest
any plan ly^which the rapid caving of the
banks can be prevented without a tremendous
outlay o'" means. The mighty volume of water
which rolls down the channel of the Mississippi
is not easily controlled. The current which
is thrown oil from the Arkansas shore by the
projecting point of land above the site of the
old town of ilopelicli!, is thrown squarclv
across to the Tennessee side, sisiliing tirc~bank
:.nst below the month of Wolf river. When
the river is high ttie levee is rapidly cut away,
and, at anv stage of water, so deep has become
the "wash" that there is a continual undermining
of ilie banks the inroads of "Old
Father Mississippi" is not to be prevented from
going whither he will, and no power of man
can prevent him from doing so. During die
last two years the bank lias retreated inland
near one hundred yafdsr More rhan fifty
yards of the levee has disappeared during the

whole level portion oi' the wharf above Adams
street will ho swept into the current of the
Mississippi within the next two years. All
the buildings on that portion of the river will
have to be removed or will go into the river.
The <vist of stopping this destruction of the
landing would be so much that it would lie
more than' the value of the whole levee north
of Adams street. The lauding wili, doubtless,
soon be cleared of building, not by a process
of law, but l>y the mighty tide of nature's own
creation. The bank lias already retreated tq
within a few yards ol ttic government store
sheds, and if it continues to advancc the rolling
tide of "Old Mississippi" will flow over the
place where now the rush nnclbustlc of business
is daily flowing to and fro. Wo have only
to stand :ynd sec acres of the landing of our
fair city ^washed" into tho river that flows byit.
The extent of the wash can now be seen
since the water has receded.?Memphis Argus,

consequence boing many amusing and cliarac*

Chinese were concerned, on being asked by
, the solicitor for the prosecution how they would
' be sworn, each of the Celestials roplied:
i "Brekeo platec."
, This caused a hitch in the proceedings, there
t being no crockery at band available for dedes
