have just learned that the firm of Majors &
Russell, who do nearly half of the business Of this
place, aud have one of tho most extensive cstab-
Iishments in the West, have discharged all their
hands, who were nearly all Free State men. Their
establishment is connected with the overland and
Guvernmcnt trains, and has extensive wagon,
blacksmith and carpenter shops. This stcr. If
persisted in, must have a fatal effect on the pros.
re:ity OF Leavcnworth. Mr.. Russell has employed
some negroes recently imported. This has, of
course, caused Il good deal Of Tutoring among nc.
chanics and lahoting men. Some Of them talk Of
leaving. What renders the measure more cruel AT
THIS time is that the river being closed the expense
OF stage travel is very great; most Of these mcn
thought they were in for the Winter. One Of the
discharged hands told me that Russell had said to
him he had no use of Free State men" Another
assured ne that Russell had asked him ir be had
any interest in the Free State purity ?" Wishing
10 keep his situation, he replied that he had
nothing to do with either side" but this not
being deemed sufficient, he was discharged. 1t is
reported that the immediate cause of this was n
threat from the Border kufians that his property
would be burned if lie retained these men. The
Pro Slavery men are playing a heavy game.

this professedly free and enlightened people"
That the balance Of political power, is in the
hands Of those who can neither read or write.
And showed that the great hindering cause to the
development Of our free institutions, was ignor-

name implied a privilege order-an exclusive class
whose right 1t was to monopolize education, that
thereby they might have the powe: to rule.

the degeneracy of New Orleans morals, that ore

on the same platform of educational privileges, as

among them was Mr.. William c. Nell, an intelli,
