taons OF dano's 1olcee, lately concentrated,
are lowering on the roads between Fort
Scott and Fort Smith, and Fort Gibson, as
we'll as on the Boston Mountains, between
Fayctville and Van Buren. They hare sue
ceeccd in preventing repairs to tue military
telegraph to Fort Smith, and compelled all
our trims TO travel with strong escorts Of
cavalry. It Is costing the Government m
immense sum to keep The ga1risous south Of
Fort Scott and Cassyillc, and it would proba-
hlNoe an economical consideration to support
the Union people who are protected BY these
garrikons in Kansas or elsewhere, than to try
10 Keep up the garTisons at such m enormous
expense.
The assembly Of the State Convention on
On the 9th inst Is The commencement Of
the process which is to finally extirpste slave
IT from this State. It is extraordinary that
there are only Elk pro'slaEery or anti-emancl-
paticn members out OF sixty-six elected to
that body; ard even these members were
thoroughly suCdued In their opposition to
the proposed abolition measures The leader
OF tile convention Is Cha1les D. Drake, Of st.
Louis, who will probably draft the ordinance
to set all the slaves fFee In this State. The
question OF immediate emancipation being
settled, there will be etruggie IN the con-
venhon TO open up various sections Of the
Constitution Tor amendment. Ihe iact La
That when this ,practice is once inan:ssurated,
1t will be carried too far- Aside from its In
