The levee committee is a fa Uly good one. The cominittee stands thus, pronouncedly for levees: Eobertsm, chairaian; Chalmern, Gen. Joe Johnston, Myers, Evins.Itunn. It in not exactly known how the following memtjf rs are: Tamer, Diino crat; Buym and Boyd, KeptiblieanK; Caswell, of Wisconsin, Is a levee man; Prescott, representative ot New York, is op-foaed to any internal improvements by the government unlets they are in New York somewhat. Taking tt all in all, the levee committee is strong er than it was bttt session, and the sati-facto ry of any since the Democrats have been in power.

The bill which passed thehonse last session and tailed in the senate on tae last day of the term, will be offered again, and most Lkely will bei-cme a law without lose debate, and pa: through the senate in the same way. Therefore, without any over sanguine expectant ns, there are reasonable assurances that the pte-tnt committee will do as much as the las. one did, and reenact the commission bilL teen. Johnston will have great influence la this rom mi. tee, and he favors any plan by which the levees can be; repaired and permanently kept np The Pacific railroad la also very fairly eon sir uc tod.

Mc Lane, of Maryland, chairman, is aa old-time politician, who has been reported aa unfriendly to subsidies, hut ia a brief conversas tion be did sot express any such sentiments, but leaned rather to the other extreme. General Chalmers, of Wissi.i-.ppl, th second cn the committee, has done as much as any man In the Sooth towards a transcontinental line of road, which should be a Southern line, pure and simple, for the promotion of Southern commer cial interests; so he is all right.
