John Browns Compauy,

Capt. John Browns Company of Sharp
shooters has joined Col. Jennison's COM
mand at Kansas City. Col. Jennison is
the famous Jayhawker whose name is as
much of terror TO the rebel residents anl
marauders in missouri as Jim Lanes, and
the accession of John Browns men was the
occasion of quite a demonstration. Col.
Jennison made them chacteristic speech
declaring that cold John Brown was the
only man in whom he ever took stock y
that the slaves Of rebels who took refuge
with him should be protected to the last
man and the last bullet; that he meant
to make contrabands useful; adding the
significant hint that be did not know. of any
better way of employing captured rebel

the most perplexing subjects before the ad,

disposition of the secesh females who

According to the following in the Opinion
Rationale, the Russian Government have
few scruples as to the course TO be pursued
in such an emergency:
Three unmarried ladies attended the
course of lectures atthe University of St.
Petersburg. Two of the young ladies,
Miss. Corsini in the fortress of St. Peters
burg; and the third, Miss Bogdarow, has
been flogged at the Office of the secret po-

The Opinion Nalionale adds:
"Miss Bgodarow may be consoled. She
is not the first among Russian ladies who
has been fogged in the courtyard of the
police hotel. May she be the last! We
wish it, without daring to hope it. The
