| AN ACCOMPLISHED TEACHER.-We were highly
gratifed yesterday to'hear that Adjutaut William
| fioto had acqpiesced in the solicitation Of many
friends, and will open class for military instruc
tion in this city in day or two. We regretted the
departure Of Col. Platosz for we knew his SER
vices military instructor had been invaluable,
and that it would be difficult to find an officer SO
eminently qualified as drill.master. But we
have the assertion of Col Platosz himself, and

| Floto is entirely competent (and this is saying

the drill of Hardee, both theoretically and prac

acquire the esteem and friendship of his scholars,
| while they, we guarantee, will in a very short
time attain a military knowledge, which otherwise
would require from them years of patient study

few months longer, We will feel inclined to recon-

looked into the First District calaboose last night

Even the crickets found it uncomfortably empty,
for they were chrPing to keep themselves awake.
