KANSAS CRY, Nov IS.
Col. Jennisou nd nine hundred men NOV
ed on independence early this morning. The
town was surprised. and the citizens col
lected IN the PUBLIC square. The Union
men and rebels were separated. Col. Jen-
nison then read proclamation, land anounc-
ed that he would hold the latter responsible
for the safety of government trains. The
stores o. D. J. Porter, ). NJ. Frazier, and
Morse and Fisher, proprietors with General
Price, were confscated. The home Of Por
ter, also The mill and 9, 900 bushels of wheat
owned by Thomas Richards, q Captain. with
Price, and two houses three miles from town,
we're burnt II order They were the rem
devious o. the rebels Seventy horses,
twenty wagons and fifty negroes, were also
soufsoetaa.
The following infamous proclamation
We copy from the same paper:
The TayhaWker's Proclamation
To TIE Poole Of Jackson, Lafayette, Cas-,
johnson, and fsttts Counties, No.:
I have come among you with nay COM
mand, 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 s. ID Of pro-
lection and defence around 81 men who
are loyal 70 that government
No excesses will be commi; I'd by any
soldier IN my command.
We march 80 enforce the laws and sus-
ain the government. Every loyal cit
zen is expected 20 give evidence of his
oyalty by active efforts for the protec
aon OF the flag. For four months our
rmies have marched through your cOun
Try; your professed friendship has been
fraud your oaths of allegiance have been
Shams ard perjuries. You feed the rebel
army, yen act as spies while claiming to
be true 10 the Union. We don't care about
your past political opinions; no man will
be prosecuted because he differs from
US, but neutrality is ended. If you are
patriots you must fight; if you arc traitors
you will &c punished.
The time for fighting has come. Every
man who feeds, herbors, protects or in any
way gives aid aud comfort TO the enemies
of the Union viii be held responsible for
his treason with his life and property
While al the property of Union men and all
their rights viii be religiously respected,
traitors will everywhere be treated as out
laws-enemies to God and man, too base to
hold any description of property, and hay-
ing no rights which los al men are bound 10
respect The last dollar and the last slave
Of rebels VIII be taken and turned over to
the general government.
: Playing var is played out, and whenever
Union troops ere fred upon the answer will
boom from .cauGon, and desolation will fol-
low treason. Loyal citizens viii be fully
remune-sted for all property taken from
them for the use Of the army.
Al the land between Fort Leevenworth
and the headquarters OF the army of the
West Is under the jurisdiction of the United
States, and We propose TO have a regular
road over IL and sure communication through
It, no matter at what cost of rebel treasure
ana blood
It is hoped that you will see the reeessi-
~ of abiding by the laws and actively sus-
aiming them. But if yon raise an arm
against the government we have sworn TO
protect, the course l have briefly marked
Ht will follow TO the letter

Col. Com. First Kansas Cavalry.
