LEAvENwoRrB, Nov. IA.
The first Kansas Cavalry, Col. Jcnnison,
has left here for Sedalia to protect supply
trains and other government property at that
and other neighborinR points. Col. j. has
issued proclamation to the people Of Jack
son, Lafayette. Cass, Johnson aud Pettis
Counties, Mo-. from which the following ex-
tracts are made: We march to enforce the
laws and sustain the government Every
loyal citizen 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. Your pro-
fessed friendship has been fraud-your oaths
Of allegiance have been shams and periurios
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. No man will be prosecuted because
he differs from us, but neutrality is impossi-
BILE. IL you are patriots you must flights if
you are traitors you will be punished. The
time Tor fighting has come. Every man who
feeds, harbors, protects, or in any way gives
aid or comfort TO the enemies 20 the Union,
will be held responsible for the treason with
his lie and property, while the life and prop
erty Of Union mon. with all their rights, will
be religiously respected. Traitors will be
everywhere treated as outlaws enemies of God
and men, too base to hold any description OF
property, and having no right which loyolists
are bound to respect. The last dollar and
the last slave of 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 desolation will follow
treason All the land between Font Lcaveu-
worth and the headquarters of the army of
the West is under the jurisdiction of the IT,.
States, and we propose to have a regular road
over it, and safe communication through il,
no matter at what cost OF rebel treasure or
blood"
