Kansas correspondent writes:
The Yt.j1ErS ri

both at the strong pro-slayery Influences c3-

policy OF an i1nIseAchcd Governor; as
also at the special expedition to New Mcxxico.

Gel. JrnniEon, with The 1mpetuosIty of his
nature, gaye uttcraree to his Indignation. In
speech to bis regiment on Sunday week, he
annt uuccd the fact Of his resignation, suited
that he could not serve conscientiou.Ir, under
either Generals Denver or Sturg1s, because he
believed them to be opposed to F ceions, aud
dcsircus of perpetu:iting Elaverg. He made
so,ne harsh criticisms on the Administration
for sending Euch men here, but in closing ad-
yi-ed his men to Do their cuty honoras'ly, and

right 70 say as citizen, though perhaps not
IS soldier.
On Tuesday night number OF men OF .1ea-

probabilities wtre, as the result has shown,
that these men, considering themselves book

was, however, circulated that Jenaisou had
advised them to desert. An order was issued
by Lieut.. Colonel D. r. Anthony ia relation
10 the n2t:er, which Col. Jennison tor so1ng
