Just now the most important topic of converse
ttOn In the country, as we'll in the city of New
Orleans, il the late order of Gca. Banks providing
for the education of negro children, and the fur
nishing Of library adults. This orde. imposes
tax on every owner Of real or personal property
residing in each school district, for the support o
the schools one year; aud il also provide. tor a
library to b. furnished at a cost of two dollars and
half for each ada; negro in The district, where
such adult may happen To reside. A letter 10 IN.
New York EIDfess, from the Crescent City, says:
When this educational order was published,

have learned that the hoOI tax has always been
levied with the greatest punciua!iiy, but the funds
have all been absorbed in the support 0t provost

This rev state of things will be severe ly felt by

the negrogs? Wheu Gen. B.nks's order regulating
free negro labor was first published, there was a
universal stampede towards the city and various
towns, for the negroes determined no. To hin,

were forced back into plantations worked by ih.
