Yesterday, Capt. Turner, of Col. Kearnev,s

furnish the necessary provisions, baggage. trains
Stc., &c., for the contemplated expedi,un to New
Mexico. They will be supplied at an early dav.
and be shipped to Fort Leavenworth.
Upon the reception of the orders Of the Presi-
dent' Coi. kearney put every means in requisition
10 expedia'e his departure at as early a day as
possible.
we are gratified to learn that Col X. does not
60 on this expedition with the meagre force which
has been reported. His power, we hear is annie
to call for any force which the exipences of the
service may require We do not know the whole
amount OF troops which he will deem it proper to
eau Tor, but we understand that, in addition TO
TWO companies OF artillery and the mounted men,
he will take large Infantry force.
IL Is expected that the companies which have
been called for from the counties on the Missouri
river, will set out for Fort Leavenwor,h ON Wed.
nesday or Thursday next, and that they will ALL
be at the place for rendezvous by the last Of this
week.
Capt Turner, we hear, brought down an order
from acting Governor Young TO General Milburn.
OF the oath regiment, for one battalion of artillery
composed of two companies Of one hundred men
each, exclusive of officers This battalion is To
be part of the four hundred men required from
this county. They are to be mounted and eouip
ped In manner suitable for the service Arms.
