The Oskaloosa Independent says, that a number of men have been in that vicinity stealing horses, and claiming to be members of the Fifteenth. The Independent thereupon enquires if that regiment sanctions such proceedings. We are satisfied that these robbers are not soldiers, but are the same class of depredators who, for the last twelve months, have been engaged in this business under the guise of "Red Legs," "detectives," "recruiting officers," etc., generally wearing soldier clothes. We have information which leads us to believe that no men are or have been absent from the Fifteenth, and, moreover, that that regiment is in a state of strict subordination and discipline.
We refer the Independent to the order issued at Camp Jennison in regard to this very matter, and published in yesterday's TIMES.
Colonel Jennison and Lieutenant Colonel Hoyt ardently desire to make the Fifteenth a source of defense and protection to the people of Kansas; and we know that if the people will punish every horse-thief they catch, they will have the hearty approbation of the officers and men of the Fifteenth.
