In response 20 tho call of Brigadier Gen.
eral D. NJ, Frost, the several companies
belonging to his brigade, convened list
night at their armorles to receive orders.
1t was known that General Harney had
received instructions to proceed with
his command to the southwest frontier Of
this State, and to the scene OF the threat
ening Kansas troubles; also, that Govern
or Stewart had received calls from that
quarter for military aid, and had trans
mitted instructions to Gen. Frost.
The purport OF these was disclosed by
him last night. He visited each Of the
companies, and apprised them. by the
General Orders which we publish bslow,
Of the nature of the service required of
them. That service is to proceed forth
with to the southwestern frontier of Mis-
souri,. there to act. under the command of
their suporiors, as the public emergencies
shall require.
Tie members Of the companies very
generally announced themselves in readi-
ness to enter upon the excursion proposed.
The companies Of the First Regiment
will muster, it is supposed, an average of
not less than thrty-five men each. The
Battalion Of Engineers are relied upon to
turn out not less than one hundred
strong. The feeling among the volunteers
is one Of decided enthusiasm for the SER
vice; and their movements will undoubted- :
ly be made with promptness and alaCrity
The note of soldierly preparation is sound
ed in time, aud We trust the result will be
the speedy and assured restoration Of tran
