"Co Davis said, in speech made upon the
occasion Of the reception of the volunteers at
Vicksburg. that no would not accept the commits
sion of BrigadIer General-for tho reason that
he believed the volunteers should elect their own
ofiicers-a principle he had earnestly advocated
in Congress, and did not feel at liberty, under
present circumstances, TO violate it,"


The above fatheress paragraph is going the
rounds of the press. We do not believe that Da-
Wis made any such remarks, because he was not
offered Brgadicr GeneraIshp for the volunteers,
but that Office under the "ten regiment ucl'' for
the regular service, was offered TO him, and had
he accepted it, it would have been no violation
Of principle. Therefore, we are no, disposed TO
attribute such an absurd declaration to him.
