nearly all turn out, and their martial ardor keeps up at a white heat, I think that the recruiting officers of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth regiments should be on the ground. They should be able to get recruits enough to till their respective regiments in a single day. But the noisiest are not always most eager to make personal sacrifices for the cause which they pretend to champion. Stirring speeches are to be made by General James H. Lane, United States Senator from this State, Colonel C. R. Jennison, and a number of other orators. As an unprejudiced observer of current events, I must express my belief that the politicians of Kansas are inclined to make political capital out of the Lawrence calamity, which I do not think is at all creditable to them. If the citizens of the State, when they assemble at Paola, would express their horror, in a suitable manner, of the enormity of the crime committed by the enemy at Lawrence, so that the civilized world might see the barbarous metho

When the present excitement wears off a different feeling may prevail. Colonels Jennison and Hoyt made rousing speeches in town on the evening of the 7th, for the purpose of arousing the martial enthusiasm of our citizens to a point that will ind, they doubtless little thought that they were raising a storm that would shortly sweep away their cherished, and to them divinely ordained, institution.

condition of refugees General Blunt authorized to raise another colored regiment citizens of Fort Scott opposed to Colonel Jennison taking command of the post the supply train starts south a military Telegraph to be constructed to Fort Scott Twesoon as they were permitted to enlist in the United States service. There have been some recent intimations that Colonel Jennison, of the 15th Kansas cavalry, will take command of this post shortly, and that Colonel Blair will be relieved and ordered South with his regiment. Colonel Jennison is not popular in this section of the State, and should he be assigned to the command of this post, it is likely that a protest will be sent up by the citizens to the commanding General of the Departmename principles that we are, neglect to criticise, in a good tempered spirit, his short-comings. I am satisfied that Colonel Jennison's services would be more valuable to the Government in some other field. Should he make a perfectly honorable recor

was in want of, then burning the accursed place, we took up our line of march, meeting Gen. Lane about eight miles from Osceola, bringing up reinforcements. Here we camped. The pickets being fired on here during the night, we marched early the next morning, and arrived at Butler about eight o'clock in the evening. Here we learned that the notorious Capt. Lock (the same that lay in the Butler jail last summer for murder, and was released on the condition that he would kill Montgomery and Jennison) was five miles from Butler, sick. Capt. Hunt was detailed to go and arrest him, taking a guide. The company was dismounted when within a half mile of the house, the horses concealed in the brush: we then moved on quietly to the house, and after surrounding it, Lock was called for. The lady came out and remonstrated, declaring there was no man within. Col. Ritchie then ordered the house to be set on fire. After the house had been burning about five minutes, the lady — I have lied, she

Doc. 160. Colonel Jennison's welcome to Captain John Brown's sharpshooters. A writer in the Chicago Tribune gives the following account of the reception: camp Jennison, Kansas City, Tuesday, November 12, 1861. To-night I have looked onpany of sharpshooters arrived here this afternoon, having, on reaching Fort Leavenworth, unanimously decided to join Colonel Jennison's command. They will be attached as mounted riflemen. Some sixty men are here, under Lieuts. Bostwick and Hoyt. Cally. The bugler of the company then sang a new and very appropriate version of Dixie, which I will send hereafter. Colonel Jennison was called out, and made a characteristic speech. I cannot give you more than a short synopsis thereof. It was as forcible, and couched in as strong Anglo-Saxon, as the proclamation I forwarded you yesterday. Colonel Jennison said: Gentlemen and fellow-soldiers: I am not in the habit of public speaking, but will say that I never felt more like fighting than

To the People of Jackson, Lafayette, Cass, Johnson, and Pettis Counties, Mo.: I have come among you with my command, under the authority of the General Government, for the purpose of protecting the supply trains, and all other property of the United States Government, and for the purpose of throwing a shield of protection and defence around all men who are loyal to that Government.
