EDUcArIoSAL.-We observe that the Rev. J, Frank
lin Ford is about to open a school, for the education
of young ladies' at MossSide, the late residence of Mr.
A. B. Leyisee in the suburbs of this city. This is
emphatcally "the right in the right place." and
move in the right direction at the right time We
know of no man who possesses higher qualifications
for the very responsible position Of instructor to the
fair daughters Of Louisiana than Mr.. Ford. His emf
nen qualifications in point of learning, character and
experience as teacher are too well known and aPpre-
ciated through this region Of country to require more
than bare mention at our hands. Hundreds OF pa
rents and daughters from the Brazos to the Misssls
sippi-his former patrons and pupils-stand ready to
attest Mr.. Fords prominence educator of youth
The choice of location could not have been more
happy. Retired from the confusion, noise and dust
Of the city it is still near enough to accommodate even
the delicate pedestrian; and the site is intrns
cally Of the most beautiful spots to be found in
north Louisiana. The magnificent shades, long walks
and elegant shrubbery invest the place with just such
forms as the genius of learning loves to court-fea
lures which at all times exertng their silent intu
ence, and delivering their mute but eloquent lessons
to the young mind developing its taste and love OF the
beautiful during the hours of relaxation and pasme
Under 50 favorable a combination Of circumstances
we shall confidently expect to grow up at Moss
Side an institute fully adequate to the necessities Of
the times-"a consummation devoutly to be wished

Morn ABOUT THE COLLECTION OF THE CoTroN TAX.
In order to secure the payment of the cotton tax the
New Orleans Times, Of the eth, says additional in
structons have been issued from the treasury depart
ment, which, however, have not been received by the
agents officially. The Times adds that failure to
comply with the following instructions renders the
cotton liable to seizure, matter in whose hands or
where found:
TIE attention of cotton brokers is called to the fact
that the regulations of the treasury department re-
qure that cotton packed in bales shall contain metal
tag inspection LABEL showing that the internal
nue. taxes on the same have been paid, attested by
the collector of internal Of the district from
whence the cotton is shipped. In addition to this, all
consgnments of cotton should be accompanied by a
permit from the collector of internal revenue of the
district from whence the cotton is shipped describing
the marks and numbers on the bales, their weight
and certifying that the internal revenue taxes on the
same have been paid, and granting permission for
moval. Information has been received at this office
that considerable quantities of cotton have been sent
to this market without complying with the regulations
of the department in this particular, no inspection
labels being the bales and no permits forwarded
with the consignment. The absence of these proofs
that the internal revenue taxes have been paid
ders the cotton liable seizure by collectors of inter
nal revenue, no matter in whose hands found.
