LEAvENwoRrH, Nov. l4.-The first Kansas
cavalry, Col. Jennison, has lett here for Sedal
la, Mo, , to protect supply trains and other Gov
ernment property at that and neighboriDg
points. '..,..
Col. Jennison 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 sustai n
the Government, and every loyal citizen is ex.
pected 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 professed friendship has been q
fraud; your oaths of allegiance have been
shams and perjuries; you fed 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 one will be persecated
because he differs from us; but neutrality is
ended. If you are 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 prop
erty 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
to respect. The last dollar and the last slave
of rebels will be taken and turned over to the
general Government. Playing war is 'playeC
OUT and wherever Union troops are fred upon
| the answer will boom from cannon and desola
tion will follow treason. All the land between
Fort Leavenworth and the headquarters of th'
army of the West is under the Jurisdiction o
the United States, and we propose to have {
| regular road over IL, and safe communication
through it, no matter at what cost of rebe
treasure and blood"
