ment and has been sent after the murderers he should
overtake them there would be speedy reckoning with
them Jennson boasts that he carries six rebel bullets
in bis pocket and no mercy in his heart He is there
fore just the man TO be set the trail OF Quantre
his savages. He had been removed from command be
cause Of bis showing too little regard for secessonss
their sympathzers. just the Fifth Missouri cavalry
was dsbanded at st. Joseph last July they
too active and mercess In hnntipg ous and extpatns
bushwhackers. We only pray that Jennson and his jay
hawkers may overtake Qiantre and his savages, ant
