Knights Of Labor Discharged.

SPRINGFIELD, O., March 3.-The-e is
great excitement here over the dismissal of
big force of Knights of Labor from the
East-street Champion Reaper Works. The
workmen claim that the number discharged
will reach GOO or 700. The six lodges of
knights of Labor held meetings to discuss
the situation last night but took no definite
action. The foremen in the works, it is said,
went through the shops yesterday, and
asked every man if he was Knight of
his name When time came for quitting
work those VINO had admitted belonging TO
the Knights of Labor wero either paid off at
once or tod to call to day and get their
money The action came like bomb she'll
to the men, and the greatest excitement
prevailed. There are 5000 Knights at
work i'll tho various shops Of this city, and
if the affair develops into a general strike it
will be serious. Mr.. Whitley, the proprie-
tor, Said last night: II don't know just how
many men were discharged. think about
800. They arcs generally distributed through
tho different departments of the shops.
Every shop will be running with
u full number OF hands by Monday
at least. We shall send to various cities
throughout the State for men. There
was no trouble nor violence, nor do
we apprehend any. We were compelled to
take this course in the interest of human
liberty, and so far as we are posted on the
course OF the organization in other cities it
has baen ono of terror, intimidation and
tyranny, and they were constantly influence
ing others to join tho order who did not
know anything about it, 1t is n question
with every factory whether it shall have all
or none of lis men belonging to these organi-
cations, and whether it shall have these
strikes or not. There is no> middle ground.
We prefer to have all our men free from all
organizations aud I believe it is for the good
of the community to take such course"
The East street Champion Reaper Works is
one of the largest factories of agricultural
implements in the world, and BISHOPS cover
many acres The situation at the Malleable
Iron Company lockout is unchanged. The
officers of the company are firm in their de.
termination to take back no man who de-
manded an advance of ten per cent. in
wages, and say they will ELL the places with
new men. With 1000 men thrown out of
employment in the past two days the labor
uueation nrasants an eycee0inplv serious rs
pect in this city.

ALLEGED CURES BY PRAYER.-Presiding
Elder Lugg, Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church at GAINESVILLE, Wis, reports the fol-
lowing remarkable cases which have come
under his personal observation: At Aliens
Grove, Wis. during the past month, Mrs.
Slosson, who claimed to have been herself
healed by faith, was called to the bedside of
a gentleman named Hoerder, who had been
sick for six months and had been given up
as incurablo by two physicians. He eX-
pressed belief III faith cure, and a prayer
meeting was held at his house, in the course
of which he believed himself cured and
arose from his bed. He dressed himself
walked around, and was able to walk to
church the next Sunday. The other case is
that of a veteran Of the civil war, named
Smith. He has not been able to walk with
out crutches for years, enc leg being diseased,
and for weeks at TINA he was unable to
go out Of doors. He was converted during
a revival, and like Hoerder protested to
believe in faith cure. A prayer.meeting
was held at his home recently, and before
it was ended he was walking about as brisk
ly as any one. He is now comparatively
cured. Both parties insist that their cures
were accomplished through supernatural
agencies. Although Elder Lugg is no be-
lever in this kind of healing, he gives the
facts as he found them, and admits that he
is unable to account for them.

LETTER FROM RICHMOND.

RICHMOND Va March g 1856.

Correspondence OF the AleIRnorh dAZETIEi
RICHMOND Va, March 2, 1856.
Mr.. Abram Fulkerson, member Of Tic
House from Washington county, has made
himself exceedingly obnoxious to the mem,
bers of the press for having offered re&o-
luton to throttle the freedom of the press
He does not confine his criticism to Rich
mond newspapers, but pitches into journal
ism in general. His was a strange idea, and
it must have been the outgrowth of sixty
years of deep thinking aud study. Suppose
The House had been foolish enough to adopt
the silly resolution ofthe member from Wash
ington, and the reporters were to submit to
having their copy" criticised and revised
by the committee, under Mr.. Fulkerson'>
resolution, the newspaper readers would be
ANNOYED no little, unless MIR. Porter, the
member from Portsmouth, was appointed
upon the committee. Mr.. Porter is Il news
paper man and could do the work, but il
the task was given to any other member the
printers would have sweet old time get.
ting over interpretations and superfluous
1chiu" that would be scrubbed by Mr.. Full
kerson's committee.
Dir. Fulkerson criticised paragraphs i'll
the Richmond dailies, and if | am not very
much mistaken the paragraphs he objected
to were dictated by himself.
The reporters have been very kind to Mr..
Fulkerson, and have given him moro notice
than any other member of the Legislature.
I mean by that we have published many
things which he requested US to publish.
His action in introducing that resolution in
the House is considered by the newspaper
men to be the unkindest sort of gratitude.
1t will do him no good, and he will soon
End out that he. to use the vernacular OF
the times, put his foot in it,"
When the bill to pay bonnty for the cap
ture of foxes in the Commonwealth came
up in the House to-day, Mr.. Terry, of Char
lotte, moved to amend the bill by including
the scalp of the tobacco fly. Mr.. Starke, of
Richmond, asked that cent premium be
paid for the scalp of an English sparrow !;
Mr.. Mayo wanted three cents for the crow,
and Mr. Miller, of Chesterfield, wound up
the amendments by asking that some notice
be taken of the 'tater bug. The bill and
the many amendments were passed by.
The Legislature will do great deal Of
work this week. The body can remain in
session until II o'clock Saturday night, but
they will adjourn before that time. Quite
q number of republicans have gone home
and others will go tomorrow.
1t is generally understood that the Legis-
lature will re convene in the fall to receive

BUNTING THE FEEL1NGs.-"C Curious how
ones feelings get blunted by the sight of
blood and horrors" says Sir Charles Viii.
son, in his new narrative Of the Nile Expe.
dition. ''There was one strange incident.
An unwounded Arab, armed with spear,
jumped up and charged an officer. The
officer grasped the spear with his left hand,
and with his right ran his sword through
the Arabs body; aud there for few seconds
they stood, the officer being unable to with
draw his sword until a man ran up aud shot
tho Arab. 1t was living embodiment of
one of the old gladiatorial frescoes at Pom.

rlele; rather, after what had passed, an ev.

lore how the Romans could look on at the

MR. LAMAR AND Col. 1NGEISOLL.~-Bob
Iugersoll visited Washington last week.
After making tie capital his home for many
years he has removed 10 New York, where
he hopes the profits Of his legal business
will greatly exceed tho comfortable income
he derived from the practice Of his profes.
sion in the District of Columbia. 1ngersoll
has many friends amomg politicians of both
parties and one of his admirers is Secretary
Lamar. The inGdcl called upon the Secre-
tary ut tho Interior Department., and 1nger-
soil, in The course Of half an hours CONVEX.
sation, said scores Of witty things, which
Lamar, lying back upon the sofa in his pri-
vate Office, enjoyed Immensely. Ingersoll
finally made some remark in ridicule of or.
tholox Christianity. There was momen-
tary pause when he finished, and the Score.
tary jumped to his feet, throwing his long
hair with en- impatient gesture back from
his forehead. "IngersoIl," lie exclaimed, 81
hope 10 live TO see the day when you will
come to this capital city and preach to the
world Christ and him cruciiied ! With your
agnlicenta abilities ands splendid oratory you
could work revival such a5 the world has
never seen. 1 hope, Bob, to see the day
when this will come 10 pass, and you could
not engage in any grander or more noble
work."
An awkward slencs followed and the in
idel appeared to he momentarily embar-
rasscd. He then told a story about
Cornish miner, who, not believing in a God,
sacrificed his lie willingly to succor fifty of
his comrades imprisoned in mine. The
story was not pertinent to the Secretary's
remarks and in no sense an answer to the
appeal. Ingersoll seemed to appreciate this,
and he soon turned the conversation away
from religious subjects Wash. Letter TO
