RUMoRs AND oAkARDs APLoAr

The city was full, yesterday, OF rumors con.
cerpirg rebel movements in 'front.' and towards
evening they took the shsp. OF story that
S,ualt's csvaly had appeared in force at Ma
nassas. cutting the connection with Msade's
army, and causing general withdrawal OF
stock, ftbis slice of Manassas Junction,) &c,
on cur part on Alexandria.
We can learn nothing this morning to con-
Arm the story, and presume that If any stock
has heen brought to Alexandria it has been
merely a precautionary move in case the rebels
saou ID have any raiding designs on the road.

Labor is prior to, and independent OF, cap

deserves much the higher consideration. Cap
it'll has its rights, which are rs worthy a5 pro.
lection AZ any other rights. Nor is it denied
that there is, and always will be, q relation
between ca pital and labor, producing mutual
benefits. The error Is In assuming that the
whole labor OF community exists within that
relstioB. A few men own capital. and that few
avoid labor themselves, and, with their capital,
hire or buy another few TO labor fer them. A
large majority belong to neither class-neIther

them. In most OF the southern States majority

"Again, as has already been said, there Is
not, OF necessity, any such thing as the free
