The command OF Col. Jennison, now mum.
boring upwards of 5000 effective men, moved
10 this point last Thursday, after having thor
oughly cleaned out the counties above, from
Platte down. Gen Hunter has assigned 10
the brigade Of Col. Jcnnison the right section
of Totten's famous battery, the battery of
Capt Robb Clate of Lanes brigade), and six
rihed 6-pounders from the fort, all of which is
Immediately under the command of Captain
Francis H. Howard, formerly of Boston, of
Totten's battery. In addition to the artillery
force mentioned, and in addition also to the
splendid regiment of Colonel Jennison, which
probably surpasses any other in the service in
evey respect, Coils. Vessels and Nugent's regi
ments have also been attached TO the COM
mand. There is also battalion of infantry
five companies, consisting of portion of the
eighth Iowa and the seventh Missouri, under
command of Capt. Oliver, who came las did
Capt. Howard) to guard heavy train from
Sedaa, some time since, to fort Leavenworth.
This gives to Col. Jennison a brigade more
completely equipped and more effective than
has hitherto been been gathered on this border
during the war. The whole work OF defend
ing Kansas with full discretionary poOers has
been assigned to Col. Jennison by Mai Gen.
Hunter, giving him the position of brevet
brigadier general and opening splendid field

and his little mountain howitzer, he had been
doing this work for some time. This is essen.

Union men and menacing the towns on the

Jennison went into Independence and
camped at Kansas City, and sent out his boys
to follow the hounds into the bush. He made

upon which to conduct this war. Where the

it be used. Otherwise, let it not be converted

CITY AND COUNTY.

GEORGE w. CURTIS lecture last night, was
attended by great audience at Mechanics
Hall, and occupied an hour and a half in its
delivery, keeping the undivided attention of
all his hearers 10 the last word lie uttered.
His topic was National Honor" which, to
him, is Synonymous with justice, liberty, and
law. His treatment of the various questions
which our present struggle has evolved was
broadly comprehensive and he held the scales
OF justice, while considering the international
questions of the past and present, with hand
of singular steadiness. We have had in no
lecture here so full a presentation of the
atrocity of Ostend circu ars; fairer treatment
of our national administration or a fuller
presentation of the considerations suggested
by the word emancipation. Believing in a
God OF justice, OF course, PRIOR, he viewed
the eventual abolition of slavery as sure-the
only unsettled problem being the time when;
but our present struggle, in his judgment, IN
ecitdbLy, determined that We welcome dis.
ton, when marked by the candor and intelli.
gence of Mr.. Curtis Whether his hearers ac-
cept all his conclusions, is OF small moment.
They can not fail TO be instructed nor will
they forget the spirit OF high patriotism nor
deep love of human rights which were SO con-
spicuous throughout. The lesser attractions
OF the lecture, the splendOr of his diction, and
the graceiuness of his manner were never
more striking
