We learn that Mr. Gillmore, of Clay county, freed his last slave yesterday. The "Boy" came to this city. He is a bright, intelligent appearing fellow and seems to feel capable of taking care of himself. Mr. Gillmore offered him a fine mule when he left, but he declined it, saying his freedom was all he wanted.

Major Phillips with two companies of the Missouri 11th arrived here Tuesday night. It will be remembered that they left in September to escort the Arizona territorial officers through to Santa Fe. On the return they have been exposed to all the severe weather we have had during the past few weeks. They have had a hard time of it. We are sorry to learn that a soldier belonging to one of the companies of the11th Missouri, which arrived from the plains on Tuesday, was frozen to death between here and Lawrence. Others were more or less frost bitten.
