The steamer Bienville went to the as
sistance of the Winfield Scott when her
chief engineer, his assistant ard thirteen
seamen jumped aboard the Bienville,
leaving the Scott to her fate. Their ac-
ton nearly created panic among the
soldiers, who gave up all for lost, but the
Captain Of the Scott put the chief engin-
Ger in irons and brought him and the re.
creant crew back, when things went on
better.
Col. Clark, of The 9th Pennsylvania
regiment who was aboard the Scott, de-
scribes the night as one of horror The
yale was terrible and the vessel a mere
shell. The Scott was taken in tow by the
Vanderbilt, which had cut clear from the
Great Republic in the gale. The steamer

Kansas cavalry, Col. Jennison, has left
trains and other government property al
that ami other neighboring points, Jen-
nison has issued proclamation to the
people Of Jackson, Lafayette, Cass, John
son and Pettis counties Mo, from which
the following extracts are made
We march TO enforce the laws and sus-
tain the Government. Every loyal citi
zen is expected TO give evidence of his
loyalty by active efforts for the protection
OF the flag.
For four months our armies have
marched through your country, and your
processed friendship has been fraud
your oaths OF allegiance have been shams
and pcrjur;cs you feed the rebel army
You act as spies while claiming to be
true to The Union, We don't care about
your past political opinions. NJ man will
be persecu ed because he differs from us,
but neutrality is ended. If you are pat
riots you must fight. if you are traitors
you will be punished the time for fight |
ms has come; every man who feeds, har-
bors, protects, or in any way gives aid
and comfort to the enemies Of the Union,
will be held responsible for his treason
with his life and property, while all the
property Of Union men, and all their
rights, will be religiously respected.
Traitors will every where be treated
as outlaws, enemies Of God and man, too
base TO hold any description Of property /;
and having no rights which loyal men
are bound 10 respect
The last dollar and the last slave Of
the rebels. will be taken and turned over
to the general Government, playing war
is played out, and wherever Union troops
are fired upon, the answer will boom from
cannon and desolaton will follow treason.
All the land between Fit Leavenworth

the West, is under the jurisdiction of the
United States, and we propose to have
