Otis. A Born Disorganizer Wha Is Opposed by the National Guard. | Few Men of th=!State Would Follow His Leadership as Brigadier- Genc:ral. There is an uproar of indignation in the National Guard of California over the rumor from Washington that the President has about decided to appoint Harrison G. Otis of Los Angeles a brigadier general of volunteers, to command the troops of this State. Of all the men mentioned .or the place, Otis is the most unpopular, and many believe the one least entitled to recog- nition. -He is no better qualified to lead troops than others whose names have been submitted to the President. Granting that he has a good war rec- ord, the same can be said of a thou- sand veterans of the Union army of 1861, who have signifiéd in a decent, soldierly style their readiness to serve wherever and in ‘whatever manner their services are ' required.. In His chief function is to disorganize ‘and demoralize. Eveén 1f he possessed all the attributes of ‘military genius which he claims for himself his appointment as brigadfer- general to command ~ troops of ' this State ‘would be most unfortunate and ill-timeéd. . As late ‘as April 21 he cast slurs at the men who: will constitute the main part of the volunteer column from: California.. In - this paper, the Los Angeles Times, he said: Where Shall the Veterans Get In? If the -advices from Washington are correct in the statement given out to the country that the Government fs not: going to_‘call for volunteers, except from the | National - Guardsmen - of - the - various States: (who -are the militia and nothing else), it is quite apparent that a mistake, and & .very serious:one, is being made at _thé outset; for .while the National| with fidelity in time of peace, so long as there is an_experienced and seasoned body - of: soldiery manifestly impolitic not to place- this| force of war-tried men in position to do effective service in the event of an actnal contest. Under the conditions, as they appear to stand, this splendid material— men who led companies, battalions and regiments in the old amry through four yvears of deadly warfare—is to be com- pletely sidetracked, and there is to be sent to the front, in command of the auxiliary | to the regular troops, officers who are | as green as were the callow youths | who assisted in inaugurating our last war with that humiliating flasco known as the battle of Bull Run. ‘When called to account for his reflec- tiéns -on: the young men of California who propose to go to the front he in- no-charge whatever upon the militia. Perhaps it is not =ood military judg- ment to allow volunteers to select their own leaders above the grade of captain, but it does not follow that a'man who starts out by: casting reproaches on his followers should be appointed to.lead. If Otis was a splendid disciplinarian, he would discipline himself. The young men of this country will fight;; and it will be the duty of officers 10 put them in condition to fight. Meth- ods of proper discipline in camp will be needed:” The judement and military training of - soldiers mew troops wil be required to preserve ‘harmony and diseipline. ‘A born disorganizer of men ought ot to command the camp.

The aggregate force of the navy, including-the officers and men of the navy proper and the marine corps, was 130,000, of which 4702 died in the period indicated. This mortality may be summarized as follows: DEATHS IN THE NAVY, 1861-65. g z8 . iR 2| &z Cause of Death- 2 ?,i - g 3 Killed or died from wounds. 208 Scalds and burns 343 Drowned 3,1 to 226 Suiclde, 1 3 unclassified, 579 | 6881 to 159 Total violent deaths . Total from sickness Grand total deaths 14,7021 to 27.6 It appears that disease carried off more than the casualties of war and other ac- cidents, and 2272 violent deaths were not from accidental shooting, 37 from scalds and burns, 265 by drowning, 14 suicides, etc.; and the final totals chargeable to casualty of war were 1804 dead from gun- shot wounds, etc., % dead from cruelty in Confederate prisons, and 313 deaths from other causes, making a total of 2212. The surgeon-general also reported 1638 wound. ed, but gives no information of the num- ber who recovered. The total violent dead for the war were, however, 2272. Large as this number appears, it falls short of the general idea of the mortality incident to war. Some of the engagements, In which fleets were engaged and thousands of lives were exposed, did not result in notable incldents during the war will show how slight the losses were when the results are considered.

Totals Individual ships sustained heavy losses, Mississippl was set afire by the enemy’s shells and about fifty were drowned. The torpedo in the attack on Mobile accounts for ninety drowned. In the first attack on Fort Fisher three guns burst on ships of the Union fleet resulting in the death of fifteen and wounded of twenty-three, which ‘materially reduces the casualties caused by the enemy’s fire during the two days. There were many smaller engagements and incidents in which the losses were to swell the total up to 2272 violent deaths. The raid of the Confederate ironclads apen the Union blockading fleet . off Charleston January 31, 1863, resulted in twenty-seven killed and thirteen wounded. An explosion of a magazine at Galveston January 1, 1863, killed eighteen .and wounded thirty-three. A’ steamer, Cham- plon No. 3, getting too close to a Con- federate battery up Red River, received a shot through her boller, and 141 out of 150 of the crew and contrabands on board were scalded to death. By accidental ex- plosion of boiler on the Tullp, November 11, 1864, there was a loss of forty-nine killed. On the other hand, the victory of 9, 1862, was gained withbut three casualties, all’ wounded and recovered.

One man out of - 206 was shot and killed during the last war, but other incidental dangers are as much to be dreaded. Whatever may be in store for the blue jackets in the matter of shot, shell, torpedoes and other war Instru- ments, they may take consolation in the fact that life on board ship is now far more comfortable and less conducive to sickness than it was in the early sixties, and that while great advances have been made toward killing men, there have also been vast improvements in the practice of for the want of which many lives, no doubt, were sacri- ficed in our late war.

There is a bare possibility that Mrs. Stanford may have said every word that was attributed to her. But, if she did, those who ought to know say it was because she did not fully under- stand the methods and modes of pro- cedure that pertain to the operation of the board. Moreover, it {s thought, that this lack of knowledge was worked upon by others, and the interview was the result of the fine work of men holding their enmity to Huntington above their interest for Mrs. Stanford. | C.

I feel confident, however, that whatever she did say was said at the Inspiration of others. She has the utmost respect and good will of myself, and, as far as I know every one else connected with the rail- road.
