KANSAS VOLUNTEERS

We were requested by Gen. Jones to state that the time of departure of the Kansas Volunteers from this District is necessarily postponed until Tuesday the 20th inst.

We would here inform the ladies of our District that Mrs. Jones has determined to accompany her husband on his patriotic mission, and since the Association has not provided the ways and means for lady emigrants, we would suggest that the ladies make exertions to give her substantial proof of their appreciation of the sacrifice she is making. All who know her must feel assured that by her influence and presence a moral and gentlemanly deportment will characterise the march of the company, while in sickness her experience and kindness will be invaluable -- as a good Samaritan.

The Company will rendezvous at this place on Monday evening previous to their departure, and we would suggest that a meeting of our citizens be called to consider the propriety of giving them a public demonstration. Such a testimony of our approbation of their patriotic intentions is due to them, and will give them an earnest of our appreciation, which will cheer them in their mission of devotion to the interest of the South.

The following are the names of the vcolunteers who were accepted by the Committee:
Gen. A. C. Jones Thos. Burnett
John I. [or L.] Ballentine R. B. Ligon
H. M. Norris P. Y. H. Jones
J. T. B. McDowell T. T. Benton
G. W. McDowell B. F. Graydon
A. W. Anderson Thos. Lindley
W. B. Anderson J. Q. Wilbur
G. W. Moore J. A. M. Arnold
J. W. Franks H. Manly
W. T. Chappell ___ Pinson
R. W. Hill T. Teague
Thos. Harris J. M. Striplin
Evans Norris W. Striplin
J. W. Calhoun Caswell Striplin
L. L. Griffin G. H. Fairbain
R. G. Malone

Mr. Ibzan J. Rice, of Anderson, proposes to go with the company, and will defray his own expenses. We most heartily welocme Mr. R. to the ranks. He is a gentleman of talent, morality and true Southern feelings. We know him well and are [blank in microfilm] on the soil of Kansas -- and will make his fortune too. May an over-ruling providence guide the fortunes of all."

The name of Mr. Pinson was blank in the original; he did not accompany the company, so that his identity cannot be determined. In South Carolina, the counties were known as districts until 1868.
