What Of Fremont's Appointment.


WASHINGTON, July "a, 1861.
In consequence Of incorrect statements in
some Of your eastern contemporaries, concern
ing the appointment that Gen. jim Lane has
rectrtly received from the VET department,
it becomes proper for me to make public the
facts in the case, which had intended to tele-
g13l,h to you two weeks ago, but subsequently |
enI pressed at Gen Lare's personal request.
Gen. Lane had not intended to make mat |
ter7 public at present, but has now given it
publicity with view Of counteracting the |
6ieappointments already manifested at ezecu-
tive orders about using the efaves Of rebels as
laborsrE without providing for thsir freedom.
The fscts in the case are these:
Some weeks ago the War Department gave
Gen. Lane the appointment Of commissioner
OF recruiting for the department Of Kansas,
with full power to raise aud equip volunteers,
establish camps Of instruction, draw on quar-
termaster aid commissary for transportation
and supplies, and in short full powers to raise
and equip an army In Kansas and put it In
fighting tim in the shortest possible time.
It's expected Gen. Lane will promptly es-
| tab1ish his camps near the Missouri line, and
commence recruiting, advertising publicly
| that no loyal mn will be rejected on ac-
count of color, and the full carrying out Of
| the provisions of the new militia Law concern
ing the enlistment Of negroes.
| It is shrewdlg expected also that Gen. Lane
| will not inquire very scrnpulously whether
| Ills black recruits come from over the border
or not; or if they do, whether they arc sup
Piled With free papers. It Is believed here
that the establishment Of his camp in Kansas
will be signal for perfect slave exodus from
Missouri, and that his negro regiment will be
among the first to be fully equipped and in the
field.
Gen. Lane has orders from the secretary
Of war to every officer Of the department oi
Kansas. requiring them to give him thei1
heartiest cooperation in these movements.
: This will obyiate all such difficulties as he
experienced before. It is expected that Lane
will have at least one white and two black
regiments in the field within fortnight aftel
he commences.
He leaves here or Saturday Tor the West
and will begin the work at once. His com
; mission is go arranged By the .grssideut AMI
Secretary Stanton as not to Interfere viii
