Concerning the rumored appointment Of j..
W. Denver to Il Brigader Generalship, the
Stockton Independent Gays:
Some time since it got abroad through the
newspaper press that Gen. James W. Denver.
defeated candidate for the United States
Senate leiore the Legislature of last winter
had been appointed by the President to com
mand the five regiments of troops now leing
raised in this State osteusibly to co-or crate
with and encourage the Union clement in
Texas We do not know how true that lie
port is or whether General Denver has been
appointed to the command Indicated or not
1t is certain, however, that the rumor Of his
appointment has deferred thousands of true
Union men from ouli,tiug, who have not the
fulIeet eonGdcace IN Gen. Denver's unquali-
fed attnchment to the cause Of the Federal
! Government and if the iumo: is not contra
| dicted, we think il will he long time before
the five regiments are fall. We will here
venture the opinion that DENY er has nat re-
ceit ed the appointment, and that the troops
mustered into service will be COMMANDED by
some one Of the regular officers Of the United
States Amy.
Upon the same sui jeet the Sierra Demo-
crat has the following, which we heartily en-
dorse:
J W. Denver, the Union says las been ap
pointed Brgadier General to command Tie
California Volunteers IT. the name of the
brave spirits who are answering to their
country's call, we protest against his COM
mnn,ling them What Union man trusts Dem
yer for one? Has he not expressed such con
tempt for the head Of the Army as TO rend,
him unsafe for cheerful obedience to orders?
He is not to he trusted with such re,ponsi-
biity. He has given his voice against this
war. H. has no right in it unless in the
ranks. We hope and believe, that the vol
unterrs will never leave their quarters under
any such General.
