Tho First Kansas Cavalry, Col. Jennisou,
has left here for Sedalia Mo-, to protect
supply trains and other government proper
" at that and ncighboring points. Jenni-
son has issued proclamation to the peo-
pie Of jackson, Lafayette, Cass, Johnson
and Peits counties, Mo-, from which the
following extracls are made:
We march TO enforce the laws and sus-
tain the Government. Every loyal citizen
in these counties is expected to give ev-
dence of his loyalty by active efforts for the
protection of the flag. For four months
our armies have marched through your
country. Your professcd friendship has
been fraud. Your oaths of allegiance
have been shams and peuuries. You feed
the rebel army. You act as spies while
claiming to be true to the Union. We do
not care about your past political opinions.
No man will be prosecuted because he diff
fers from us, but neutrality is at an end.
7 If you arc patriots, you must fight; if
you are traitors, you will be punished The
time for fighting has come. Every man
who feeds, harbors, 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 everywhere be treated as outlaws and
enemies Of God and man, too base to hold
any description of property, and having nc
rights which loyal men are bound to respect
The last dollar and the last slave of rebel:
will be taken and turned over to the Gen
eral Government. Playing war is played
out; and wherever Union troops are fired
upon, the answer will boom from cannon
and desoation will follow treason. All the
land between Fort Leavenworth and thC
headquarters of the Army of the West il

WAsHINGToN, Nov. 1S.-Soon after the
announcement was made of the contem.
plated Intervention by England, France
and Spain in Mexican affairs, our Govern.
ment dispatched ship of war, commanded
by an experienced officer, to the Gulf tc
look after our interests. Another vessel
was also dispatched up the coast to Tam
pico, to prevent the transit of passengers
from the rebel government across that coun-
try, and also to prevent the shipment OF
cotton, &c, from the rebel States This
wise precaution, it is said, has suddenly put
a stop TO an extensive traffic which was
about being inaugurated. .,,rg..r,
At about the same time Secretary Cam
eron sent a respectful communication tc
England, France and Spain, respecting the
alleged Intervention Of these Governments
in the affairs of Mexico, but up to the las
adviees from Europe no satisfactory answer
has been received by our government

Tho RemovaI Of Fremont.

So far as we have seen or heard, there are but
two Republican papers in Ohio, that have apol-
ogised for, or endorsed the removal of Fremont
On the contrary, the great body Of them con-
denim the act as being entirely unwarranted by
any reasons yet assigned for his removal. Old
Abe ia generally right and may be right in this
case, but as the matter now stands the thing
looks bad OF course we would rather have
the Administration right than Gen. Fremont
and will be glad il it can clear its skirts in this
matter. Let's have some other proof than the
irresponsible "private letters" Of ofbalf-fedged ar.

Secretary Chase in the course Of some re-
marks addressed 10 the New York bankers, last
week--according to the New York World--gaye
strong and pointed assurances that the Govern
nent now saw their way clearly to quell the
rebellion; that they had information which war
ranted him in saying that the public would soon
hear glad tidings of success more startling aud
more effective in their results than those from
Port Royal and the West; hatneither the Gov
eminent nor General Mcclellan ever had the
least idea Of placing the army in winter quar-
ters, but, on the contrary, the military plans con
templated regular, systematic and energetic &C
tivity in pushing forward upon the rebels al
prudence and judgment dictated; that Govern
ment had ample funds to supply every liability
until February ], and that all the machinery o
the Departments was gradually working into
very satisfactory state Of efficacy.

had Threat.

The rebels, it appears, hold Colonel Core
oran and other officers as hostages for the
good behavior Of our courts. If we, in the
regular exercise of the judicial authority Of
the nation, condemn any Of their pirates to
death, they will execute our officers as re-
taliation. This is a mere threat; but il
they should be wicked enough to hang Col
onel Corcoran, let us say to them, that there
are Irishmen enough in NewYork city alone
able and disposed to leave nothing Of Char
lesion but tho turkey buzzard.

Hanging for Hanging.

Gel. CorCoran, il he has been troubled
since the threats of the rebels with uneasy
sensations about the throat, ought to feel
relieved by the capture of Mason and Sill
dell. They will hardly play at a game Of
hanging when two such important persona
ges as Mason and Slidell are liable to a
hempen cravat. Col. Corcoran can sleep
well o'nights hereafter without any visions
of fstraDgulation. Register. vfrorR

A Washington dispatch says that Secre-
tary Cameron declares that soldiers shall
not be slave catchers, and that army officers
shall not engage in the business of return

BALTIMORE, Nov. 2O.-Somewhat of a
sensation was produced this morning in the
western section of the city, by the Provost
Marshal sending largo force of police to
Miller's Hotel and seizing the whole estab-
lishment and all its contents, including a
large number of horses, the contents of the
bsr-room, safe and vault. The object of
this movement is said to be to prostrate the
mail arrangements of the rebel sympathiz-
ers here. 1t is supposed that from this Ho-
tel there has been regular communication

country was undergoing almost the agonies Of
death. The West must help pay the revenue
lost to the Government and, in addition, pay
several millions Of dollars prof; into the hands
Of Pennsylvania iron-mongers. by being com
pelled to buy their iron at dearer rates than X
could b. got from England. The tax upon tea
and coffe seems to have been intended TO dis
criminlt against the poorer and in favor ofthe
wealthier classes Of the community, just as the
land tax operates against the poor and new
States of the West in favor Of the older and
richer Atlantic States. 1t imposes tax Of iour
cents per pound upon all kinds Of Coffee. and
fifteen cents per pound upon all kinds OF tea,
regardless Of the price Of the articles A man
who buys two pounds of the fiity.cen tea will
pay thirty cents duty to the Government, while
the one who buys the dollar or high priced tea
will pay but fifteen cents, or half as much, as
tax So of coffee; the dury will come with the
greatest severity upon those whose means COM
pei them to buy the cheap article.
The Democratic idea, as embodied in tariffs
is always to graduate the duty in proportion to
the price of the article, so that the wealthy
who use the dear article, might pay their prop
er share of the burden. An honest and fair
tariff would have taxed fifty cent tea but halfa as
much as one dollar tea, seven cent coffee but
bali as much as fourteen cent coffee. BIT this
is not The Republican notion Of ftaxa,ion. They
favor putting the lions share of it upon those
least able to bear it. This taxation could have
been changed so as, to be equal in operation, =
The duty on iron could have been reduced; tea
coffee and sugar taxed according to value and
the surplus revenue which the old and wealthy
States received from the General Government
in 1887, upon the promise to restore it when
r asked for should have been demanded. These
changes would have yielded more revenue thar
we shall get now, and the revenue would have
come from the proper parties. So odious and
unstatesmanlike was the taxation system
