Capt. C. R. Jennison, with a large body of Cavalry, arrived in town on Tuesday. The company numbers one hundred and eight, rank and file, a portion of which were left behind, but will soon join the company here. It is the intention of Capt. J. to get his company accepted, for the service in southern Kansas, where the majority if not all of them have long resided. The men are well versed in guerrilla warfare, having been engaged in the troubles in that section since our organization as a Territory, and if the proper arrangements can be effected, they will prove a valuable auxiliary to government in quelling the rebellious disposition of our evil-disposed neighbors of Missouri, and in keeping the red skins of the Indian Territory quiet. We trust the Captain will prove successful in getting his company into service.
