(Special.) Soon after daylight this morning Govern Foster and his party transferred their baggage at Vicksburg from the steamer John It. Meigs to the United States steamer General Newton, which was courteously placed at the governor's disposal for the trip by Captain John Millls, United States engineer. Owing to the press of duties In the lower portion of his district Captain Millls was unable to make the from Vicksburg down with Governor Foater' i party, and was therefore repre Douglass, by Mr. H. who is thoroughly Congressman Charles J.

Boatner, of the Fifth Louisiana district, and Mr. "Wilmer B. Shields, secretary of the Fifth district board, joined the governor's party I at Vlcksburg, replacing Colonel E. H. Lombard, assistant engineer, W.

T. Brown and Mr. W. F. Ogden, who left the party at that point.

I The start down stream was made soon I after 7 o'clock a. the Newton hug ging the Louisiana shore to enable the I Party to observe In passing the encroachment of the river upon the line of the I levee back of Carlisle landing, and known the Reed levee. This encroachment Will necessitate the construction before the next high water season of three and half miles of ne levee, 19 or 20 feet In height, about 470,000 cubic yards in I aU. Should the cost of this wark have to be met entirely out of the revenues of the Fifth levee district. It will make It Impossible for the board during the next ear to raise, enlarge or in any way re the existing levees of the district at points, it Is hoped, therefore, that and national governments In Its nndcrtak which will enable It to do Justice to all points requiring attention.

A landing was made at Hard Times landing, in Tensas pariah, to enable the aovernor and party to lnaneet th ki Hard Times dyke, built by the United States government in 18S2. this ayke PSW the foot of lake St. Joseph, Is about 1LOO feet long. and. from 20 to Z3 eet in height.

The bed of the lake at the point upon which this dyke was feoilt was of too yielding a character to sustain the enormous weight of earth placed upon It, and the levee continued tiling through four years before It Reached the required firmness of support wltho, dyke tne proper grade slit perhaps more, above or tne water, and 1 itill greater press span noagji New abble. Steps hav. thei the the Louisiaj is fully 4 the present amply able e. There is land aide of the the dyke, which gfhe place, and no further trouble pttdpated. By direction of Assists hgteeer Douglass guards have been at 'the slough, and a close watch 1 npon it.

Should it Increase a fo party sum. built by the United States gover meat, partly in IX'J. and partiy iu lvj The line constructed In laic is mal talned as the effective levee for tij ind the water la not permitti of count of a soft stratum about 75 feet in length, which the embankment crosses. This has caused a considerable settling I of the new wors; at this point, the levee be soft spot having caved In. The i portion of the work Is still above iter line, but the engineers deem it I host to withhold the water from its front until the original grade of the work can be restored and made secure.

This Is the only defect in the work apparent Just now. The levee seems a superb piece of I construction, and is one of the largest works in the district. The protection I leree can stand at least 3 feet more water, and there is no apprehension that I It will not hold. Continuing her Journey down stream, the Newton steamed past the Louisiana Wm this point build a line Bondurant Island to enable and his party to observe the and St. Joseph, throwing thousands of acres of fertile lands out beyond the leree line and rendering useless the long line of costly levees now existing on the rlrer from Point Pleasant to St.

Joseph. distance of over ten milea. It is hoped by the authorities of both the state and the levee district that the Mississippi Slrer commission may conclude, during the ensuing working season, to divert the current into the main channel of the fc Tlrer on the east side of Bondurant Island and that thns the necessity of a very I heavy expenditure for new levee work I may be avoided. At St. Joseph.

The Newton was fast to the trees at the outer edge zrnwth frinrfn the bl Kemp le Kemp's bend, six miles above Waterproof, and Governor Foster's party rowed out In skiffs to Inspect the work. The levee in one of the largest for its length in the valley, standing 20 feet above the surface of the bank for a distance of three miles. Its Imposing height did much to convince tne party trouble during lsst high water of excessive under seepage, sand bolls and soft have been effectual in stopping them, and the leree Is now In magnincent condition.

Should the river, however, continue caving In this bend at the rate at which it has caved in the past ten years, there is grave reason to fear that within the next four or five years this great embankment may be lost and then It will become necessary to build a much longer line of greater dimensions and cost, further back from the rlrer bank. There Is some hope that before this occurs the government plans for bank protection may assi shape ss will ob the new work. the necessity psrlsh of Concordia. The governor party were taken on shore In skiffs and made a critical examination of the superb work, which Is 28 to 27 feet In height. 107 feet at Its base.

10 feet at Its crown, and 1700 feet in length. It was built by the United States government In 1S01 02 and Is In magnificent condition. Backing out from the Gibson levee, the Newton steamed slowly through Cow Pen bend, where a cut off above Natchez Is threatened. In the passage through this bend Assistant Engineer Dougluss explained fully to Governor Foster and bis party the movements of the river at this point within the past ten years and their effect. He also explained the work which Captain Millls has In view, designed to check the flow of water across this point and to delay a cut off until the proper remedy can be applied to prevent It altogether.

The success of these plans is a matter of vital Importance, not only to the city of Natchez, itself, but to the town of Vldalia, opposite on the Louisiana shore, to both of which places a cut off st the point Indi cated would prove very dlsai The I the rlv wide! high wal Undei aded be! is. the lake to enable Governor Fostrr and his party to observe which has been improved by the govern The river at this point being now about two feet below the high water, and the new work Being at a grade of a little over three feet above the high water mark, this line of levee presented a magnificent appearance. able lm the district. The Une of levee around lake Concordia Is 17 miles long. and In 1800 91 was In such a condition that it failed to hold the water when at no hlfcher stage than It is to day.

In 1S92 this line of levee was only held by extraordinary efforts put forth by the government, the district and the parochial In this line, wherever there are indication of underground seepage or perforations by crawfish. Captain Millls Is having a line of sheet piling drfren down to such a depth as to cnt off any flow of water strong enough to endanger the Making her way out of lake Concordia, the Newton steamed down to Vldalia. where Congressman Boatner and Mr. Shields left the party. The vessel then crossed to the Natchex side and was made fast to the wharfboat Vigilance.

Captain Millls, of the United States inglneer's office, received a telegram yes erday morning from Mr. Douglas, as lstant engineer at Natchex, who Is a nember of the governor's party. Tha elegiam stated that everything was hat it was thought the greatest danger tad passed. Captain Millls says that a small rise recorded, which Is attributed to the rainfalls In the territory tributary. It seems the opinion of all the engineers In the city that the greatest danger has passed.

Captal.i Millls has taken the precaution. However, to keep all his boats, barges and tugs in readiness at most accessible points all along the river, in case of their being needed, and sandbags, mattresses, are at hand, should there be a call for them. Captain Millls sent a barge loaded with lumber pnd sacks down the river yesterday morning to be stationed at or near Pecan grove, four or five miles below the slaughter house. The barge is in charge of Captain Smiley, and is well fitted up with all the necessary material needed In case of a break. This tiul apprehension as to the condition of the levees along there, but, like all the other barges and tugs stationed by Captain Millls, is simply a precautionary step.

This portion of the levee is perhaps some weaker than that above and below, but not so much so that any fear should be had relative to it. There are plenty of barges stationed at the exposition wharf, but tnese are not so accessible to points around Pecan Grove, and consequently this barge has been Flood Review. Memphis, May 20.
