An EXCELLENT Observation-Disclosures w
LaEder has been appointed brigadier general
by the President, and will have command of tie
Rhode lSland and part of the Massachusetts, regi.
by the people, was made by the earnes; recon-
nendatIon Of Gen. Mcclellan, Gov. sprague, of
Rhode Island and Senator Carlile, of Virginia
Gen Lander was previously offered the command
Of the Rhode Island troop by Gov. Sprasue.
We may add tia. 1t is understood that Col. kelly,
late Of the First Virginia ReaIs,ent, who also
distinguished himself under Cen. Mcclellan In
Western Virginia, Is believed TO ha We beeA ponl-
mated yesterday by the President to a brigadies
Reneralship.
Two better selections could not have been made
The appointment Of no other man outside of those
regularly and thoroughly educated in the profeS.

Lander 4 decades active service as an engineer
and frontier ofacer on the wild plslns, has made
Col Lander d thorough soldier, while incidents
OF his stirring life have given him lust reputa
don for daring courage, well as cool iud grosnt
and eminent military sagscIty which cannot fail
20 tell with great effect ucoA the success Of am
military movement with which he may be eon-
nected.
