COL. JENNISON.
Some Interesting Incidents of His Adventurous
Career in the War.

NsEcef lh the " afs
The late Col Charles Ransford Jennison. who
died at Leavenworth, Kan, ON the 2lst ult,
was conspicuous figure, with Gen. Lane and
John Brown in the days of the Kansas Missouri
border warfare. He and his men drove Judge
Williams out Of Fort Scott and captured Ben
Rice from the pro-slavery posse with one-tenth
of the force that guarded him. They chased
Frost with 1,500 Missouri militia, and defied
Harvey with $50 United States Dragons.
Jennison was commissioned captain of the
Mound City Rife Guards by Charles Robinson,
the war-governor of Kansas, Feb. 10, 1861
1t is said to be the first company organized on
the Union side TO support Lineoln's admins
tration. In September he was commissioned
colonel of the LIST. Kan. Cav, afterwards the
9TH, but known everywhere and at the time
as Jennison's Jayhawkers." He was assigned
TO the command Of the border, with headquar-
tiers at Kansas City, and issued a proclamation
denognciug and warning traitors as the prelude
TO a hot campaign. Maj.-Gen. Hunter ap-
pointed him brigadier-general for gallant and
efficient service. Gen. Denver superseded
Hunter. Jennison had no confidence in Den
yer's loyalty. and said so and resigned The
resignation was accepted, and Jennison was
afterward placed under arrest. After the Law
renee massacre he rushed into the field with
regiment he had raised and equipped in 80 days
Soon after that he raised post battery at Fort
N.
the Summer Of 1864 he had brisk engagement
at Camden's Point, Mo-, driving the enemy out
and capturing large quantity of stores and
munitions of war. During the Price raid he
was sent to Lexington, No. to reconnoiter,
under orders Of Gen. Curtis, and there met the
advance of Prices army of 10000. The over
whelming force compelled him to retreat, but
he fought every step and made stand on the
Little Blue, bringing on general engagement,
and holding Browns Ford with his division
10 hours, until he was fanked by Gen. Joe
| Shelby, but routed him and drove his men into
timber under cover of darkness. The next day
Jennison held very dangerous position in the
battle of Westport. He charged the enemy in
cornfeld and routed them, but they were re-
! enforced and the same ground was won and
lost third time by Jennison's men, the field
being literally strewn with dead and wounded
This was the turning point Of the conflict
Jennison pursued Price, attacking his rear
hourly, and at Newtonia, where Price made a
| last stand, his army was terribly punished
I When Gen. Price was driven across the Arkan-
sas, Jennison returned through desolated
country in command OF 40 pieces Of artillery
200 wagons, and 1,040 men. This practicaliy
closed his military career.

before and after the war the editor of paper
in Racine, Wis. 1t is several years since 1
called on him at his Office and spoke of war
times. He told me that the suit for Paul was
prosecuted in the courts, decided adversely to
him, and he paid the price Of his loyalty by a
judgment, which left him in very moderate
circumstances
Paul came to US in our camp south Of Lex
ington, KY, his naked feet splashing in the
melting snow, and asked admittance within
our lines. He had been refused in three regi-
ments but his fourth trial was successful, and
he found quarters with the company next to
mine-Co A. He told tale of brutality that
fired the blood. On unstinted food, among
friends. he soon forgot his troubles, and repaid
US by cheerful labor and by songs with voice
of singular sweetness winning both sympathy
and respect. We marched from Danville to
Louisville, and camped east of the city, where
we heard that the black boys were to be taken

While the large pension list is one of the
subjects under discussion, figures are in order
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE quotes the official
figures i'm detail to show that the national
bondholdcrs, since 1862, have received in the
shape Of interest, in excess of what the pension
ers have received, twenty-three hundred and
sixty-two million nine hundred and ffty-eight

The result Of the war is due to the bondholders
and soldiers. The bondholders receive their inst
dues from the Treasury without single obiec-
ton from any honorable quarter. All we ask for
the soldiers who are entitled 10 pensions is to
treat them all alike regardless of the war in
